Weimar! Presents;
Old sink
---------------------

Avoid disappointment, read everything below and come see item inworld before buying!

*ABOUT THE OBJECT:
This sink is build for those people who are short on prims and who want to roleplay someone who hasn't got a lot of money.
But it is also great for a kitchen in the 'old European style' or maybe just for your garden shed.
This is the common type of sink in use by the working classes for decades.

*ABOUT ME:
I am a Dutch woman obsessed with history, in RL I am a researcher.
Europe in the first half of the 20th century, inspires me especially Germany during the Weimar Republic (1918-1933).
The objects I create are especially made for The 1920s Berlin Project sim where many of the tenants often have to live in small houses and bad neighbourhoods.
More below.

*SCALE:
Most avatars and Sims in SL have a totally unrealistic scale.
My avatar is about 6ft, just like I am in RL, compared to most avatars in SL I look like a child.
I build a sim in a more realistic scale and compared to SL in general things here are small.
That means that the objects I make are made for realistic avatars, if they seem small to you this probably is because you are big.
However, you can make these sofas bigger and adjust the animations to fit any size of avatar.
But because they are mesh, the land impact may go up when you enlarge them.

*INSTRUCTIONS
-Rezz the item called 'Old sink' from the folder in your inventory with the same name.
-Right click and select 'edit' to move it or rotate into the desired position by clicking and moving the coloured arrows.
-Use this same window to change the size by selecting stretch.
-Once the sink is in position, simply left click the door or curtain to open or close it.
-Click the faucet to make water run from it.
-Right click and choose 'sit' to start washing dishes or your hands.
Left click the sink again to change animations.
I am sorry, but when you do this, the curtain may open and close, I could have fixed this but that would have added another prim to the sink's land impact.

-Texture:
You can easily change the textures of the sink to customize it.
Simply drag a texture from your inventory onto the part of the sink you want to change.
-You can also experiment as much as you want but it is a good idea to make a copy first so you can always keep an original in your inventory.

*PRIMS/LAND IMPACT:
Land impact; 3 prim.

*ABOUT MESH
If you make Mesh items bigger, they will usually start having a bigger land impact and cost you more prims.
The item should look good but from a certain distance it may look distorted.
To make sure you see mesh in SL at well as possible, you may need to change the settings of your viewer.
This generally isn't needed but if you think that mesh often looks a bit bad, you may try this;
-Click ctrl+D to add the 'advanced' tab to the options at the top of your screen.
-Click 'show debug settings'
-In the Debug Settings look for 'MeshMaxConcurrentRequests' and change the value to 128, this will not have an impact on how SL will work for you but it will make mesh look better.
-Sometimes you can make the land impact go down by linking mesh items, but sometimes the land impact go up.
Give it a try!

Nice sink but scripts do not work right.A lot of Lindens for something that does not do as advertised.
