Ok, we all know this already, but I've been guilty of it recently, so I thought I'd point it out.  Think creative with your builds.  And don't get hung up on real world ideas corrupting your SL creativity.

In my recent redesign of the land and store, I built all sorts of new and wonderful things.  But when it was all said and done, I was back down to the original prim count that I was trying to improve upon when I had first started the expansion.  This got me onto a new prim-conservation kick.  I am typically prim-conscience, but I let real world ideas kind of interfere with my SL building.  So after a day of work, I managed to free up nearly 150 prims, with nearly no loss in 'visible' beauty.  This post is mostly a reminder to myself.  Think outside the prim.
