If you owned the ER Mobile Home, you’d be home by now.
I’ve always wanted to have a nice house in Second Life. A simple little place to get away from the hustle and bustle, a refuge, and a place to call my own. But my personal land was only a small 512m parcel. As anyone who has ever owned a 512 knows.. finding a nice house that will fit on that parcel, and still leave enough prims free for furniture, can be a very difficult task indeed. I searched and searched, and finally decided I should make my own. But with that limited space, I knew it would have to be a small house. That’s when I got the idea to build a modern, trailer park style, mobile home.
The ER Mobile Home is a small but stylish prefab home, designed to be as liveable as can be, while using as few prims as possible. The result is a 67 prim building with an overall footprint of just 11.5m x 25.5m, and a base footprint of 8m x 24m. Featuring a spacious livingroom , bedroom, and porch… and a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, complete with a working refrigerator (with food), a working toilet, sinks, and a bathtub with filling water and a bathing animation. All packed in a simple to use “EasyRez” unpacking crate, the ER Mobile Home is surprisingly roomy with hardwood floors and crisp wall textures, plus privacy windows and smart doors, as well as an access control system. The ER Mobile Home makes the perfect home for “First Land” sized parcels, as well as making an excellent rental home.

ER Mobile Home [Instructions]
-
Rez the “ER Mobile Home [Rezzer]” crate.
Move the crate into position.
Click the box and select “Rez Build”
-
To reposition the building, simply move or rotate the crate. The building will follow. When you’re happy with the positioning, click the box and select “Freeze”.
-
Once you’ve got it rezzed, using the building itself should be fairly straightforward. Below is a list of features, and a little bit of information about each one.
-
- Smart Doors
There are two kinds of doors in this structure, the interior doors, and the exterior door. Both doors operate in the same manner. You can either click them, or walk into them, to open the doors. Doors will automatically close again after a few seconds. To close the doors early, click the open door to close it. The interior doors will operate for anyone. The exterior door (front door) will obey the settings you have specified in the security panel, which we’ll cover later.
-- Privacy Windows
The windows are very easy to operate. simply click a window to toggle between clear, or blinds down. Windows will obey the security panel settings.
-- Security Panel
This house is equipped with a simple access screening system, controlled through a small security panel, located on the wall near the kitchen window. To operate the security panel, simply click it. The security panel can only be accessed by the owner of the house. Clicking the panel will give the owner a menu, from which you can choose any of four (4) security settings. These settings apply only to who can control the windows, and open/close the front door.
-
• (Public) – Anyone may operate the windows/front door.
• (Group) – Anyone wearing the same group tag as the house’s group
• (List) – Anyone specifically named on the Access List notecard
• (Owner) – Only the owner of the house.
-
Changing the Access List
Right click the security panel, and select “Edit”. On the “Content” tab of the edit floater, find the notecard named “Access List” and double-click it. Then add/remove names as desired. (remember to spell them correctly). Then simply save the access list notecard to save changes.
-- Refrigerator
The Refrigerator holds a small selection of giveaway food items. To get something from the fridge, the process is very similar to real life. Open the fridge, look inside the fridge, pick something.

• Select a food item from the menu.

The following is a list of the food items that come equipped in the refrigerator.

-- Faucets
Click the Kitchen or Bathroom faucets to turn on the water. The water will run for about 10 seconds, and then stop.
-- Bathtub
Like the faucets, the bathtub uses a simple “touch to start, timer shutoff” system. To use the bath, click the bathtub faucet. The water will begin running. After about 5 seconds, the bath will rez a “Water prim”. This prim will slowly fill the tub. If you wish to relax in the bath, simply click to sit on this water prim. The water prim will self-delete after 60 seconds, if no one sits on it. It will remain as long as someone is using the bath, but once you stand up, it will self delete. No need to drain the tub.
