So this post was left on one of my regions and is fairly representative of the mindset original opensim creators will grapple with if they want to sell their products here:

"It looks nice but I like the whole sharing is caring idea. So many places in OS that offer free stuff. Not here, too bad."

I don't blame this shopper at all for wanting to find quality items for free - who doesn't? I was grateful that they visited in the first place and cared enough to leave a comment. It's for that reason that from time to time I do exactly that - offer most of my stuff for free as I did this past OSFest.

No, the ones that make life for opensim creators difficult are those freebie mills continuously churning out stolen content from Second Life and calling it 'sharing', and who aggressively push the idea that merchants in opensim have no right to exist.

As I replied to this user: Sharing is truly caring only if it's the original creator giving it away free, or if they have explicitly given permission to others to do so. And that only works if they don't have to pay for their regions, which is not the case for me.

My region costs average $20 per month per region, and the money I make from sales covers that most of the time. There are months I take a loss with my opensim stores (my Second Life store has never posted a loss in 14 years). But because sales do cover most of my rent I can keep doing what I love: making original content for Opensim.

Paying for regions of course is my choice - I prefer to be on well-run grids that truly respect creators rights. I know that you can easily find quality items for your regions for free all over opensim, so no one is more grateful than me when you choose to purchase at my stores :-)

I am a little confused because I see people complaining when they go to regions and try to copy stuff and get upset when it comes up "no copy" or there is a sign posted to the region that says, "Items here are not copiable". Some may not like what I have to say and some may agree with it, either way I don't care. The most of the things on my residential or educational regions are built by me. Not that I don't get furniture and plants which I can't build yet, but I do my own building and my builds are unique to my regions, made specifically for them, so you'll excuse me if I don't feel like sharing that with everybody and anybody who comes along. I did the work, I made the effort, I designed it and I did so to make it unique so why should I have to share it? Can you not come up with your own ideas and use your own creative juices to make your own unique things? Yes Open Sim is free, but that doesn't mean that just because someone is using it, they have to "give" everybody else their stuff that they've created and built. I've seen nowhere in the literature about Open Sim that it says you have to share your stuff. What it does do is give you a platform in which to create, develop and design for other people to enjoy.
Now I can understand if it's stuff that people know full well has been pirated from Second Life, which a large percentage of stuff in Open Sim is, however there are some outstanding creators, programmers, scripters, developers and designers who make their own original materials and if they chose to charge for that stuff that's their right, though I know most of them do not, they give it away freely out of the goodness of their heart. That said, I do give my stuff away, but it is located in our Masala Al Kohav region which is a whole region of nothing but freebies which includes original content and those things I've picked up from around Open Sim. The one thing I try to do is make sure that the original creator's name is on it and I can tell you that if it's pirated from Second Life the creator's name that you will see is NOT the original creator. So, here's the deal, if you visit any of my regions in grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002 that are open to the public to visit, and you see something you like, just go to our Masala Al Kohav region and you'll probably find the very same item there all boxed up and ready to go for you. If you see something you like in one of my regions, and it's not in our Mall Region, just shoot me a message and ask me nicely, you'll probably get the item in a couple of days depending on how often I'm on.
If you don't like how I do things, just remember this....You don't pay my grid costs.

A curious message landed in my inbox today, bringing to light a common frustration within the virtual world: someone had picked up a Xara body on a specific grid and was stumped by its "Auto Alpha" feature. My immediate thought was, "Well, you should really go back to the grid where you acquired it and ask them for assistance." And if they can't provide the answers, it truly highlights a significant issue: why are entities distributing freebies of products they clearly don't understand or support themselves? This ongoing problem underscores precisely why, if you're genuinely seeking a LaraX or Xara body, it's always best to come directly to the source. Let's be clear: Vesti is the original creator of the Xara body, and any other versions or distributions you encounter are, frankly, the work of thieves. Ultimately, for genuine support, authentic products, and the true understanding of features like "Auto Alpha," trusting the original maker is paramount, as all other offerings are merely unauthorized imitations.

I really hate to have to do this but, I want to make it clear that my region is NOT a shopping region. Most of what is on it are builds that I have made myself though there are items that I have gotten from around Open Sim in the freebie stores. That said, let's be perfectly clear - there are malls for you to go shopping for freebies if you want, my "Home" is not a freebie shopping mall, it is a residence you are free to visit and enjoy, but after today's experience I have made everything I can "no copy". When someone visits my region and I am there and greet them and talk to them and they do not respond at all even though I send them the same greeting in their native language that is just TOTALLY RUDE. Then walk around just grabbing all the "copiable" items you can find, well I become a whole lot less accommodating and make everything no copy and it will remain so. I'm usually a very friendly person, and I love to meet new people and chat and visit and will continued to be so, however if you wish anything from my region, from now on, show some common courtesy and ASK. Thank you.

As no-one else who was at the meeting has posted this yet, here's kind of good news from Sunday:

OSgrid will not shut down forever!

It will shut down on December 31st at midnight, yes. But it'll shut down in order to wipe the asset server. Same thing as the Asset Reset last year. Then it will come back online.

This means your accounts and your avatars are safe. They will not be deleted. You will not have to register new accounts or create new avatars. You will get to keep the avatars which you have now. They'll just have empty inventories.

This also means you've got time until December 30th to save the stuff you have in OSgrid that you need to save. But please don't wait until the last moment. If all those who can export IARs do it at the same time, this will overload the asset server. (Yes, IARs are safe. They're copies of your inventory. Your inventory is not poisoned, even though the asset server itself is.)

If you have land attached to OSgrid, you may export an IAR. If not, I myself recommend you to send the items that you absolutely need saved to an avatar in another grid (and items that can be picked up from freebie stores right now don't fall under this category). Basically the same as last year, remember?

If you don't have land, but you absolutely need an IAR export for some reason (and laziness is no such reason, sorry), you may send albertIr Landar an e-mail, and he'll export an IAR for you. He will need your OSgrid login password for that. Again, don't wait until the deadline and ask him then. Even albertIr can only export so many IARs at any given time, and if 100 users mail him to export their IARs on December 30th, he most certainly won't get all 100 done before the shutdown.

One thing will change: OSgrid won't let anyone and everyone attach sims just like that anymore, starting next year. Only "trusted" hosters will be allowed to attach sims. Don't ask me what exactly that means; the OSgrid board hasn't published a definition yet either. I've overheard at the meeting that those who have sims attached to OSgrid right now count as trusted. But don't take this for official information.

If you want official information from the board: Wait until the OSgrid wiki is updated.

I can't win for loosing! Hypergrid Passport Delayed. And On that note~ After changing Internet Providers Saphysworld was created and has been running for a week with no drops! A permanent move will be coming soon with ALL new items and Freebies.

Looks like OpenSim users are getting increasingly anxious that e.g. Mississippi and UK law enforcement will kill every last OpenSim grid on the grounds of their age verification laws, what with none of them having verified the real-life age of all their users. Even if a grid runs in Kazakhstan under a Russian domain with a Kazakh and Russian admin team.

"This will so totally happen!"

The self-same people, however, appear not to be afraid at all that Linden Lab and SL content creators will kill ANY OpenSim grid on the grounds of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, what with almost all of them blistering with stolen SL content. Not even if a grid runs in the USA under a US domain with an all-American admin team.

"This will so totally NEVER happen!"

Pray tell, why should the former wipe OpenSim out in no time while the latter hasn't even happened to one measly OpenSim grid in over ten years of copybotting tons of expensive premium luxury content in SL and offering it in OpenSim as full-perm freebies? Not even after these announcements by Linden Lab themselves from early this year?
https://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2025/01/linden-lab-sl-ip-rights-...
https://avadelaney.co.uk/musings/a-message-to-sl-content-t...

Oh, and OpenSim cannot survive without selling the most private personal data of every last one of its users to some big, commercial, corporate age-verification service? But at the same time, OpenSim cannot survive either without breaking international copyright and intellectual property laws left and right?

Oh, and by the way: The most that Mississippi and the UK can do against a grid is try to fine it. The most that Linden Lab can do against a grid is Cease & Desist it out of existence.

If you create in OpenSim, there is a resource worth bookmarking: Fred Beckhusen’s Outworldz Creator resources.

It is one of those places where you can arrive looking for one texture and an hour later realize you’ve found enough material for three completely different projects. 😊

Outworldz has collected and preserved an enormous library of resources for virtual-world creators, including:

• Creative Commons seamless textures
• Thousands of mesh, sculpt and 3D resources
• 1,000+ free LSL scripts
• Avatars and avatar components
• Animations and sounds
• OARs and IARs
• Building kits, objects and project files
• Tools, tutorials and other creator resources

One particularly valuable collection is the work of Linda Kellie, whose creations were generously made available to the community. Outworldz preserves a huge selection of her textures and other resources so creators can continue putting them to use. The seamless texture library alone includes hundreds of Linda Kellie materials, including fabrics, stone, tile, glass and building surfaces.

And it goes far beyond textures. The Outworldz 3D library currently contains more than 1,800 downloadable entries, including mesh, DAE/OBJ files, animations, sounds, OARs, IARs and complete resource packs.

The script library contains more than 1,000 open-source, copyleft and public-domain LSL scripts, searchable by category and creator.

This isn't simply a pile of freebies. It's a creator's toolbox and an archive of work contributed by people who helped build our virtual-world community. Fred has put an extraordinary amount of work into collecting, organizing, converting and keeping these resources accessible.

Before deciding you don't have what you need for your next project, take a look through Outworldz. Chances are Fred has already tucked something useful into the toolbox.

https://outworldz.com/

https://outworldz.com/cgi/free-seamless-textures.plx?count...

Create something. Experiment. Learn something new. Then build something wonderful with it.

Fred thank you very much for everything you give to the community, I have learned so much using your portal. YOU totally rock!

The new Safari season is well underway, and here are a few posts about places we've been to so far...
A really clever Maze by Forest Azure and Poppy Fields that entertains and promotes hypergrid adventures. OSgrid features heavily in this new season - join us if you can, there are 8 weeks of trips ahead of us, upcoming tours are always advertised on OSW in Events, it's Wednesdays at 12 noon SLT.

Cherry Manga's new build - lots to see, to experience, to freebieze
https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/2025/09/safari-gets-desolate...
A trip to a Russian language grid where we made some new friends (which is kind of the point of Safari)
https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/2025/09/a-red-safari.html
A trip to see the legendary Lofoten Islands, on SoA BAD and Siwas' grid - always a delight!
Plus this post about a 9/11 memorial on LFGrid .
https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/2025/09/9-11.html

For nostalgic visitors of the Le Village region on FrancoGrid, a brand new freebies section is available at Cherry Freebies, where you'll find my early works.

HOW I MAKE VISUAL SHOWS TUTORIAL

I was asked many times about how I create the visual shows such as the ones I made for HIE, just yesterday, the talented artist Tina Bey asked me to explain my process to her. So I decided to create a tutorial in spanish for her, but I quickly realized that this work should benefit more people; with this in mind, I created the English and French versions.
I really hope the tutorial is clear enough to be understood. Anyway I can help you if you are more questions.

The tutorial is available in SOUP section in Cherry Freebies region

The List That Really Matters.

I recently listed the shops that were recommended in the What Are You Looking For group in the past six months as a way to encourage these and other shop owners to join the group and help people find stuff they are looking for.

But here is the list that really matters. If anyone helps people find stuff in the What Are You Looking For group, their help is acknowledged and their regions promoted. It’s the least I can do to thank our members who make the effort to help people find what they are looking for. It’s been three months since I’ve done that. Here are the people who have helped in that time.

• JamieWright. Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. Visit their profile for info on their regions. https://opensimworld.com/user/JamieWright
One thing I especially love about Jamie's shops is that they are supportive of the 2SLGBTQIA+ (2Spirit/Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic + many more) communities.

• Felix Mafia. Visit his profile for a list of his regions. One of them, Kingman City, has been a place for 5 years to find the finest animations. https://opensimworld.com/user/FelixMafia

• FallenAngelAbsent. Visit her region Circus. It features Bumper Cars (my favorite as a kid!), and the Ghost Train.
hg.osgrid.org:80:Circus

• Mistressdalgato offers many things on her Virtual Beach Grid region. I’m going to highlight just one: Free little land without the need for a local account. See her profile for more info. https://opensimworld.com/user/Mistressdalgato

• Jupiter Rowland Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. He has no regions. He's just a freelance helper who is one of the most informed people in OS about where to find stuff.

• RafaGuzn: A mystery man from Mexico.

• Chelsea Louloudi. This is so cool! One of her regions is Pepperland, based on the 1968 ground breaking animated cartoon, Beatles 'Yellow Submarine". lfgrid.com:8002:Pepperland

• Sharpened Razor: Visit Norti Farm for the Vivosim Farming System & Shop with new Farming Item's Freebies & Much more
utopia.outworldz.net:8002:Norti Farm

• Bink Draconia: Among their many regions is the Black White Castle. It's a "monochrome region that gives you the feeling of being in an old black and white movie”. How cool is that! pangeagrid.de:8002:Black White

• Wolf Territories: I had to take my shoes off to count all of the regions Wolf has, and even counting up to twenty was not enough. Check it out.
https://opensimworld.com/dir/?grid=grid.wolfterritories.or...

• John Sheppard  has regions devoted to Dragonriders of Pern Roleplay, and Highlander the TV Series based Roleplay. For more info: https://opensimworld.com/user/johnsheppard

I encourage you to visit these places and thank these helpful folks should you meet them. I also hope you will join us and help out. https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

The Grove Bistro is a freebie little restaurant anyone can come and copy/buy for 0 on Birch Grove Spring. A while back I found both this cute little building (on Klamotto region) as well as a really cool collection of food on Sketchfab from a RL restaurant. I have been meaning to make a restauant combining both elements. Be aware there are some separate parts. The tables are LK from the Moonlight series and they have all the plates in them. I didn't like the square plates the originals came with so it's all on some classic round plates made by Sunny from OpenSimCreations. It was sorta supposed to be for Valentines day but the time got away on me so it's just for anytime and a cool place for your avs to go pretent to eat...lol. Not everything is free to copy/buy for 0 if it came from other creators and the perms were not so. Beside the cemetary and behind the Afree Hair Salon. Enjoy!

It's the summer here and so HG Safari is on break until September 3. But the Safari blog continues, and here are a few recent posts you may enjoy.

Next up to our opensim public library is the #1 selling book on the planet...the Holy Bible! We hope you have use for this and can gain strength and inspiration. Bearing that in mind, i am aware there are a number of different faiths and beliefs out there. I am respectful of others beliefs, so keep in mind i will be deleting and maybe blocking anyone that tries to take a positive thing for a large group of people, and turn it into a heated debate, flaming, trolling. This is a peaceful freebie FOR THOSE WHO WANT IT. :) nobody is under obligation to come claim this free item, and thus, nobody should complain. Thank you in advance for being polite, rational and kind :)

A *BIG* shout out to Cyberglo Cyberstar, who has been so generous and kind with his time, adding 1 fix to take us to version 1.1 and allow pages to move backwards. Then the next day taking us to version 2.0 and allowing us the potential to make books in minutes rather than days and hours. and yet a 3rd update already to take us to script version 2.3!

New Features from 2.0 to 2.3:

Can now view the cover by clicking left side from page 1, to close the book/show cover. Adds a professionalism and another level of realism to the book experience. (also close book from menu)

Which leads us to the bigger features...a menu is added! holding down the left mouse ANYWHERE on the book for 5-10 seconds will give a popup menu:
1)page number 2)bookmarks 3)close book

We already mentioned 3 and self explanatory.
1- page number: push this to jump to any of the 1119 pages of this book
2- bookmarks: that's right, save your place, or simply remember some significant pages. you can name each page and you can create a bookmark using the menu, or you can edit the notecard (PATIENCE! it DOES take some computers a bit of time to load 1,119 images!)

Now keep in mind, you want to follow the examples already laid out in the notecard that is included. you can simply edit or erase this once you have the jist of how to name and format the notecard. (dont be silly like me and try to save a page as "John 3:16"....it needs the : to tell it what page to go to...so rather than take me to page 987 or what have you, it took me to page 16.

Yes, I am already aware some adjustments need to be made to the numbering system/script. For now, use it for what it is, and be grateful for the minutes to hours it will save you getting you relatively close to the page you wish to jump to or bookmark. We will obviously do our best to make this more accurate. ENJOY!

TODAY IS DECEMBER 14th, 2020 and I just logged into my grid, so for now, it is up and running . . . no telling how long this will be for, but as long as she is up and running, it will ALWAYS, ALWAYS be open for visitors ;) Come on in and have some relaxing fun times! & please keep your fingers crossed that when the next windows update arrives it will not take my grid down again or else I will have to wait for an windows update that will let me in again!

My Fairydreams Grid will be on and off as every time I get a windows update it knocks my grid offline for a few weeks or more until the next windows update comes around. I run my grid off of my computer so the things that must be done to keep it running on a consistent basis are too in-depth for me to understand or even attempt to achieve without possibly destroying my computer. Fairydreams grid will be on when it allows me to log in . . . hopefully sometime soon.

I will be having a Halloween Sim and/or you can find Halloween Items throughout Fairy Land ;) Not sure how I want to do this yet ;) I want to surprise you and give you the best experience I can ;) The items I will be giving away are FREEBIES that I have gotten from other grids ;) I may make some of my own, time allowing ;)

I am SO GLAD to be back online again! Halloween begins the festivities of the year 2020 . . .

Lord Willing, Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Year's Eve will have similar activities! Then we can look forward to the 2021 festivities! ;)

My grid is still here . . . just taking a break for a bit . . . I should have said this a while back . . . so very sorry . . . I will be back soon and add more nice things to you all to visit, see and make yourself comfy here ;) Also, I will get some more freebie stuff for you all to take home with you and enjoy! Huggelz to you all!

Tipi Tacos Truck Freebie. I know, more food...lol. Tipi Tacos are an Indigenous fusion cuisine and very popular. Sometimes called "Indian Tacos", Navajo Tacos or Bannock Tacos. Open tacos made on bannock with all the fixings and very delicious. The Tipi Tacos truck is over by the gas station and free to copy/buy for 0 for anyone who wishes for one for their region. In the contents of the object are some separates. this build uses the old Airstream camper trailer from Arcadia Asylum as well as a cool generic soda fountain I found on sketchfab and some veggies:

First, just a general piece of advice.
If Xenon Darrow ever offers to drive you somewhere, and if there is a bus involved in her plans, make sure your travel insurance is up to date.

I needed to create a car spawner/rezzer for my city (since I can't allow a single space for rez items), so I needed to code this, which allows you to configure cars to be rezzed on designed points, it's split into 3:

- Car spawner (parking): must contains the cars available to be spawned, note the name of the item you put there since you'll need to configure it on the rezzer machine
- Rezzer machine: Here it contains 2 notecards: CFG (configuration) and CARLIST (cars to be rezzed)
- Temporary object: It will have the script to rotate and listen the finall call to destroy itself (when moving to other car or reset)

The panels for images can be modified and added several, just look at the config value from there.

It's full perm, copy transfer including the scripts, you can modify it, do whatever, if you do a modification remember to keep the credits.

It's the first version, maybe it will have some bugs, but I tried to have the best code quality for it.
If you have a question, or found something remember to contact me.
Once I can, I'll do a better guide (there is one included on the object), you must copy or right click buy it (since the object contains all the scripts, the notecard, rezzer, spawner and instructions)

You can get it on: hg.osgrid.org:80:Ciudad_404_1 on my freebies mall (same landing point)
I used some cars of Prince Armor from his Region as demo and are the ones currently which can be spawned on my city for drive (these are not included, if you like them go to their region ^^)

come get your picture with the TNG crew...we have 20 rooms bunch of freebies in them for those curious for a treasure hunt. Take a shuttle ride...hop://hg.osgrid.org:80/Terran Empire Movie Project/354/294/1937

Lunaria Emporium is my flagship store located on Wolf Territories Grid, where you'll find unique products created solely by me that can be purchased with Gloebits, or with other pay options through links to the Kitely Market.

The central store is large, with multiple rooms that include themes such as Christmas, Gothic, Vampire, Arcane Magic, Castles, Steampunk Airships, Medieval, Japanese/Asian, Greek and Roman, Statuary, Decor, freebies, large architecture in multiple styles, and large Venues.

Surrounding the central rotunda are large viewing parcels at ground level where you can walk through all of the structures available for purchase and fully experience each build. They can be accessed by teleport boards, bridges, flying, or taking a boat ride.

There is a freebies section inside the central store with several items free to anyone. Also available for free are the Ruth 2.0 and Roth 2.0 mesh avatars.

Important Note: Use Shared Environment and higher graphics to see the region properly. As you explore the various parcels, the sky settings will change to fit the theme.

Many of my products can also be found on the Kitely Market here: https://www.kitely.com/market?store=13957705

I added a shop to the Catena di Isole Freebie Mall "Classic Closet". I have decided to wear the default-system-classic avatar and in doing so I decided to create clothes to wear and give what I create freely. I will also give out Fate Mesh clothing that I have textured with a texture-changing script giving you multiple choices. The clothing fits Classic Avatar wearing Alphas old school but I am diggin' it! Thank you Jamie Anna Wright for the inspiration. You can find the clothing store here virtual-hg.com:8002/Catena%20di%20isole/397/288/32 I have a bit of lingerie and hosiery too~

Today starts my Opensim Appreciation Giveaway, and it's happening all this week at OSFest from Monday July 18th through Sunday July 24th. Everything I have out on my four merchant regions at OSFest will be free, with the exception of two structures still under construction that I will debut in the next month. Freebies include castles, entertainment venues, statues, landscaping, airships, and decor of all kinds - if you see it you can get it for free. I have four parcels on the OSFest grid: one on the Chlorine region and three on Unobtanium.

DON'T MISS THIS

In addition, there are nearly 25 merchants participating with me in a massive sales event all week - sales prices and freebies galore. Supporting is caring, and encourages quality creators to set up shop in opensim.
