    Perfect Timing: there are a bunch of the "everyday" items by Maclean on sale right now. Might not be much longer though.

    Hi Fisty, I have your huge hoops freebie and your jewelry basics set for G3F and a bunch of your stuff for G2F like the Riva purse and jewels. I use all of them but a lot more often the G3F stuff since I can readily use it with G8F while the G2F is a little tougher with the exception of that Riva purse which I consider a personal favorite item that makes it into almost all renders I do of formal and semi-formal occasions. They are all great items. I also have a couple of shader sets for you, including at least old 3Delight one.

    Personally, at this point after more than a decade at this I have lots of content and tools so I tend to buy morphs, shoes, characters (for the morphs), shader presets, accessories, and props/scenes in roughly that order of priority.   Once I have a few more G8 characters, that one will plummet in priority. comprehensive morph packages like the ones by Zev0 are must have, I don't know how to make my own shoes, and shader presets are a lot easier to just buy than to make all those textures. Accessories I like because they tend to be intricate and look like they are time consuming and I prefer to just pay a talented artist for their time than try to replicate their skills. So as it  happens a lot of my priority items line up with your product catalog, Fisty. 

    I'll always download a nice looking clothing freebie because ... free. But I wont necessarily use it (much). I'll also always download freebie accessories or shader sets and I will almost always use them constantly. And I also buy those types of items. For me they are the most useful things, free or otherwise.

    One thing to bear in mind about packs with extra items you don't need.... you never know when you might need them. If you habitually fill your scenes with extra clutter for more realism, then it's better to have a bunch of stuff you can choose from, than to go looking for single items every time you need one.

    I take the point about paying $2.70 for 4 phones when you only need one, but as a random example, a pack like Household Items has 30-odd props, all on the same theme, but very different from one another. You may need an ironing board today, and in 3 months time, discover you need a pet's food bowl or a mop. If they're all in one pack, at least you know you've got them.

    Exactly the reason why I bought that pack ^^ (and the everyday morphing primitives, too) even though there's competition with the household items made by 2nd_World at Rendo (though those are poser props only, but work quite nice nonetheless). But I've got a quite clear vision about what I am going to render in the near and not so near future. And those three extra phones have no place in that vision (because I already own a working IPhone imitation and that old green phone fall into a timeline I won't enter).

    Oh and neither your Model Agency nor your office feature a telephone, even though real model agencies and offices usually do. That excluded both of them from my Hunt For The Telephone yesternight.

    Are telephones that hard to make?

    The office comes with "Posable phone with 2 Easypose chains (phone/wall cords)". It's clearly visible in the first promo image.

    Sorry, my fault... blush  must have been one of the other offices then. Teaches me not to post after a night with only two hours sleep.
