HBOT question

Hera

Can anyone tell me about the content of HBOT of today, are all the small things, like headphones and pen case and laptop et cetera unique props ore are they just part of one large prop?

(Unfortunately I've had some dissapointing surprises earlier when buying interiors and where the persieved 'separate' props have not been separate at all, but part of a large 'lump' of a single prop)

I havent bought it yet, but it says "50 props Teen Girl Bedroom," and they're all listed individually.

It looks like they are separate props according to the readme. But I'm not super familiar with the DS file structure yet.

If the props are listen in the "what's included" , it should be in the package.

Seem like a great deal, you get a ton of props, even a special room around the HBOT module.

Okay, I ended up buying the product, and the props are there all right, but they load lumped together in a single scene, so if I want to use something separately, I have to koad the bundlr, remove everything bare the little thing I want to use, save that one in a separate scene and then reload it again.

Oh well, it's better than some products I've bought, when seemingly separate items come as a single prop and the only way to use what you want is to hide surfaces....

Are they afraid of us kitbashing too much or what?

I hate when that happens. I have bought a few products like that. I guess it helps my memory, trying to remember where I saw that one particular lamp months ago. But then I have to save and close my scene and load the other one, save that lamp as a prop and go back to my scene and load it. Grrrrrr!

Edit: I don't think they're worried about kitbashing. I think it's just how some PAs choose to create their scenes; some never put in working doors, some put in staircases with ridiculously low overhead clearances, and some package their whole scene as a group of props. I guess it's artistic license.

Some might see this as thread necromancy, but as this thread will turn up when one searches for HBOT I thought it better to use this, than to start a new one:

Taking all the parts of the "Teenage Bedroom" part of the product and saving them as single props/scenes/whatever only takes time, so it still is a great value for your money.

Alas, I wonder about two other things: where does that poor little teenage girl, who is stuffed into this machinery probably for days, weeks or months, leave the results of her bodily processes? There's no toilet in the HBOT. Does she have to use some plastic bags for that, which then are passed outside through the little airlock?
And what happens - God beware! - if she's ever in the need of personal medical attention? There's no airlock through which a doctor in a special pressure suit could enter the HBOT. In fact, there doesn't even seem to be a simple door that would allow her to leave it, when there is no longer a need for her to stay inside...
