Arkham Grid was born without an internal community project, players can't register, so I knew the difference. Not knowing and not having friends. This has not happened, I have more friendships now than in many years of Opensim, many come to greet, to talk, or to listen to me. I am very happy, there is a lot to do in this grid, my next project is to open land for residents "Arda", I am ready to host friends in my house.
I thank all the people who have always chosen Arkham, thank you for your friendship, and for creating a great community in the grid.
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!

Thousands of Free Resources for OpenSim at Outworldz

Building an OpenSim world often starts with an idea — and then comes the hunt for everything needed to bring that idea to life.

Outworldz has maintained a huge collection of free creator resources for years, growing into an extraordinary archive for the OpenSim community.

The Outworldz Free Sculpts and Mesh Library contains more than 1,800 downloadable resources, ranging from complete environments to small building components.

More Than Just Mesh

Despite the original name of the collection, this isn't simply an archive of sculpt maps.

You'll find Collada DAE meshes, OBJ files, sculpt maps, textures, BVH animations, sounds, XML files, IAR inventories and complete OAR regions. Many ZIP archives also contain textures and supporting files for the included objects.

That makes the collection useful for region designers, builders, mesh creators and anyone interested in learning more about creating content for OpenSim.

A Huge Archive to Explore

The variety is enormous.

The collection includes houses, furniture, plants, rocks, terrain resources, medieval props, roads, animations, avatars, trees, environmental packs, building textures and creator resources.

You'll also find resources for creators working outside the viewer, including Blender materials, seamless textures, mesh resources and templates.

Some of these resources have been downloaded thousands of times, making this archive part of a long history of creators sharing their work with the OpenSim community.

OARs and IARs

OpenSim users should take particular notice of the OAR and IAR resources.

OAR files can contain complete archived regions, while IAR files can contain inventory content ready for use with OpenSimulator. Outworldz provides search options that make it easier to locate these resources within the collection.

For DreamGrid users, this opens up another world of possibilities. Resources can be useful for experimenting, learning, creating new regions or simply discovering what other OpenSim creators have shared over the years.

Free Still Means Respect the Creator

There is one important thing to remember:

Free does not mean license-free.

These resources have been contributed by many different creators over many years. Always check the credits and licensing information included with an individual download before modifying, sharing or redistributing it.

Outworldz has received free content from more than 600 contributors, and respecting those creators and their individual licenses is part of keeping a free-resource community healthy.

Some resources may have extremely permissive licenses. Others may require attribution or carry additional restrictions.

Always check the individual resource rather than assuming everything in the archive has identical permissions.

Creators Can Contribute Too

Outworldz isn't simply a place to download resources.

Creators can also contribute their own projects to the collection. Submissions can include appropriate creator credits and licensing information so future users know exactly how the resource may be used.

That's one of the things that has kept OpenSim interesting for so many years: people building, experimenting, learning and choosing to share some of what they create with others.

Start Exploring

With more than 1,800 resources, you probably won't make it through the entire archive over morning coffee.

Fortunately, it's searchable.

Whether you're hunting for an OAR, animations, terrain textures, mesh resources, building components or simply some inspiration for your next region, take a look through the Outworldz archive.

You might find exactly what your next world needs.

🦋 Butterflies Always Near 🦋

Butterflies have a very special meaning to me.

At 96 years old, my mother was still creating. One of the last things she made for her daughters was a sequined butterfly. She carefully placed every single sequin by hand. She passed away only a few months later, on September 18, 2024.

Those butterflies became something I treasure, and now they have inspired this little creation.

Butterflies Always Near is a butterfly choker created in remembrance of my mother and also in memory of Dolly Parton, whose love of butterflies made this tribute feel especially fitting.

Each choker comes nestled inside a lavender butterfly keepsake box and will be given as a gift at Monentes Jewelry.

A butterfly may only stay for a moment, but somehow its beauty stays with us.

For those we love, and those we remember — butterflies are always near. 🦋

A little message to the experts of tolerance 😇

I’ve heard some criticism about how my grid looks, and honestly, that made me a little sad. Someone told me without telling me details and source of origine.

I would have appreciated a simple “If you’d like, we’d be happy to help.” That would have meant much more to me than hearing about it afterwards.

I know my grid isn’t perfect. I also know that I don’t always have the same energy, possibilities or resources as other people. And that can make some things slower or more difficult.

But I love what I’m creating in my grid and especially now in Cataleya. ❤️

My original idea was a little city where people from different grids could have a home, gallery, club or anything new. That turned out to be much harder than I imagined.

Still, Calvin has a beautiful exhibition in the city and a wonderful sculpture in the landscape, and that makes me really happy.

For now, the grid is closed while I work on it in my own time.

And if you don’t like it, that’s perfectly okay. You don’t have to look at it.

I’m still allowed to love it. ❤️

Maybe tolerance is sometimes simply giving people the freedom to create differently.

And perhaps a little kindness along the way. 🌿

NEWS from the animeshie front:
my next project, the dolphin gang, is developing..;
I am designing a system for the gang, to randomly pick a subscript from their contents, so each dol jumps, etc in a non-predictable way....I'll keep u posted:)

✨ BK – Schmuck, der Charakter zeigt ✨

Feine Materialien, edle Akzente und eine klare Designsprache verbinden sich zu einem Ausdruck von Stil und Persönlichkeit.

Jedes Stück steht für Eleganz, für Stärke und für die Kunst, sich selbst zu zeigen – ohne laut zu sein. Gold, Perlen und markante Details formen eine Linie, die modern wirkt und dennoch zeitlos bleibt.

BK bedeutet Luxus, der spürbar ist. Design, das berührt. Schmuck, der getragen wird, weil er etwas sagt.

🌟 Tribute to Joe Dokes — A Life That Left Light Behind

There are people who pass through our lives quietly, and then there are people like Joe Dokes — people whose presence becomes part of the foundation of our world. Joe was one of those rare souls who didn’t just exist in DigiWorldz… he gave to it. He built community, he offered shelter, he created belonging. And for those of us blessed enough to know him personally, he offered something even deeper: respect, kindness, and a sense of being seen.

Joe and PreciousRuby were more than friends to me — they were family in the way only virtual worlds can create. They made special exceptions for me, welcomed me into their circle, and trusted me with moments that mattered. One of the greatest honors of my life was standing with them as they rededicated their marriage. They asked me to lead the service… and I did, with all the love and reverence I had. To be their officiant was a privilege I will never forget.

Joe carried a quiet strength — the kind that didn’t need attention or applause. He simply lived with generosity. He gave people homes. He gave people safety. He gave people dignity. And he gave PreciousRuby a love that was gentle, loyal, and deeply rooted.

My heart breaks for her now. Losing a partner is losing a piece of your world, and she is walking through a grief that touches both her real life and her inworld life. I pray she feels surrounded by comfort, by support, and by the love Joe poured into her for so many years. She is not alone. She is held — by God, by community, and by every person Joe touched.

Joe’s passing leaves a silence… but not emptiness. His legacy is kindness. His memory is warmth. His impact is lasting. And the love he shared — with PreciousRuby, with his family, with his friends — continues forward.

Rest in peace, Joe.
Thank you for the home you created, the love you gave, and the lives you lifted. You will never be forgotten.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

💛 Prayer for Joe Dokes & PreciousRuby

Father God,
Tonight we lift up the life of Joe Dokes, a man whose kindness built homes, whose generosity built community, and whose quiet strength touched more hearts than he ever realized. Thank You for the gift of his life — for every moment he offered comfort, every time he made room for someone who needed a place to belong, and every act of love he shared with PreciousRuby and those around him.

Lord, we ask You to wrap PreciousRuby in Your arms right now. Her heart is aching, her world feels shaken, and the silence he leaves behind is heavy. Surround her with Your peace — the kind that steadies trembling hands and breathes calm into the deepest places of grief. Let her feel Joe’s love still present, still warm, still carrying her forward.

Bring comfort to every friend who knew Joe, especially those of us who were blessed to stand with him and PreciousRuby in sacred moments. Heal the places in us that feel the loss. Remind us that love does not end — it transforms, it continues, it becomes legacy.

Lord, let Joe’s memory be a light that never dims. Let his kindness echo. Let his generosity inspire. Let his love remain a shelter for PreciousRuby and all who cherished him.

And tonight, Father, hold us close.
Hold her close.
Hold Joe close in Your eternal rest.

Amen.

Just well letting you all know this project is going exceptionally well. I just added 2 more categories...weopons and Heads & Hats and wel another 100 items of all things. SSSSomething to inspire you to come by and collect things

Bringing some bug fixes !
and a wish for nice week-end.

Good luck, have fun,Peter

In my college writing class, we were assigned to write a letter to our future selves, 15 years from now. I am 57, so I wrote to my 72-year-old self. It inspired me to make some images with chatgpt, using current pictures of RL me. I told it to mimic the famous picture of Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin, when the dove landed on him. Now I want to make my avatar look like this! :)

Das Ermächtigungsgesetz von Hitler wurde von allen Parteien unterschrieben. Nur eine Partei hat es nicht unterschrieben - und das waren die Sozialdemokraten. Und die gingen am nächsten Tag zuhauf in die Gefängnisse und Konzentrationslager. Und wenn ich dann sage, die Nationalsozialisten waren auch Sozialisten, dann fälsche ich dieses Geschichtsbild ganz bewusst, um vor einem Wahlkampf Stimmen zu fangen und Leute zu verunsichern. Wenn ein Mensch hingeht und die Sozialisten, die in den Gefängnissen und KZs gesessen haben, mit den Nationalsozialisten vergleicht, dann tut er das wider besseres Wissen. Und das ist eine Brunnenvergifterei übelster Sorte.
Hans-Joachim
Kulenkampff
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hitler's Enabling Act was signed by all parties. Only one party refused to sign it—the Social Democrats. And the very next day, they were sent en masse to prisons and concentration camps. And when I then say that the National Socialists were also socialists, I am deliberately distorting this historical narrative to gain votes and unsettle people before an election campaign. If someone goes and compares the socialists who were imprisoned in jails and concentration camps with the National Socialists, they are doing so knowingly. And that is poisoning the well in the worst possible way. Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff

Sometimes when you do nice things for people, someone will take notice. Thanks for the article, Hypergrid Business!

Dystopia. A dystopic city theme built for play and fun.

Explore the harbor, the old amusement park, the Sexposure - or, if you dare - Dr. Volkhard's old abandoned asylum, and many many more places. Whether you want to just walk around and take in the scenery or role-play, this is the place for you.

60 second visitors who perform a brief scan of the land you've worked on for years with all your heart and love, and then - after not really checking anything out - not the details you've painstakingly added, created, crafted and carved -- or -- anything -- hilariously rooted to the spot where they arrive -- not moving an inch to look around --

And then ZOOM!! ... take off as if the devil were on their tail ...

My dears, I'm being accused here of wanting to generate traffic. I can assure you that's not the case. This is a Sim where you can also live. It should be obvious that avatars will be there from time to time. I offer this stuff here so that there's something new every now and then, and I'm happy if you enjoy it. I don't really care how high the traffic is. I don't think I'll benefit from it in the end. I also don't want to take any of your traffic away. Therefore, I will remove this feature that the Sim displays here.

ihr lieben, mir wird hier unterstellt, ich will traffic generieren. Ich kann euch versichern, das dem nicht so ist. Das ist eine Sim, auf der man auch wohnen kann. Da sollte klar sein, das sich da auch mal Avatare aufhalten. Ich biete das Zeug hier an, damit es auch ab und an mal was neues gibt und es mich freut, wenn ihr Spaß daran habt. mir ist das relativ egal wie hoch dabei der traffic ist. Ich glaube nicht, das ich am ende davon etwas hab. ich will auch keinem etwas weg nehmen von seinem Traffic. desshalb werde ich dieses Teil, was die Sim hier bekannt gibt auch wieder abbauen.
