It has been a while since I created a wedding set. Since it is May it has me thinking of weddings and flowers and thought it would be nice to create a pretty wedding set for this summer. Feuille Wedding Set has a wedding ring, engagement ring, and the pair linked. This has a resize script so you can get the correct size. You will find it in the Wedding section of the Monentes Jewelry Store. continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

Ooops! My blunder! I found that none of the huds would teleport to hypergrid visitors or look to (spy) on hypergrid visitors. So... Today I repaired the Elven Magic Hud first. Now, Finally, Drum Roll.... It actually really does work.
Over the next few days, I will fix the same problems in (1) The Witches Hud, (2) The Fae Hud, and (3) The Vampire Hud in that order, and I will post an update as I fix each one. So if you want to get an idea of how the huds Teleport to, and Spy on someone will work, just get the Elven Magic Hud. Enjoy! Please don't grief people with the hud! Remember be friendly, and have fun!

Just wanted to put a quick note of clarification for the group and visitors. I have received a few messages of people claiming to be STAFF of Amoa. This is the fact:
Glenn Xpletive and Robin Sission are the ONLY Staff members.
However The grid owners of Barefoot-dreamers Grid, can be contacted in the event of their absence. NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER BE STAFF. Glenn built the beach, terraforming, trees, waves, islands. Robin Sisson has made it the beautiful region it is. So please give a warm thank you to Robin for all of her decorating and amenities that have made Amoa such a great place.

If anyone else tries to claim they are staff, or if you need assistance, please contact Glenn, Robin, Huga or Gabe.

Everyone loves the Music
DJ LEE spinning tunes for everyone to get down and party so come and enjoy the best of funk and a mix of tunes for everyone. Wednesday April 27 1:00 pm grid time the party starts.

=== ENGLISH VERSION ===

Hello friends and fans of Stark Islands!

We are glad to tell you after 9 months of absence that we are back and will be releasing a new and optimized version of Stark Islands in the near future!

We have had some time to think through the concept and the technical foundation. The huge (server-)workload of Stark Islands was one of the biggest issues we had to fight with in the past. To offer you a better experience, we've made some important changes and are working on other important details. New Stark is the same size as before (though it may expand in time) but split in 4 different regions on different servers to reduce the workload per server.
The region will have a new footprint, based on the old main island, and the best of old Stark you will find in the new version too. We reduce prims, meshes and scripts as much as possible without changing the soul of Stark Islands. This all means a lot of work and we will need some time, though as you all know, a sim will never be finished.
When we think, the sim is in an acceptable state, we will open the gates!

We're thrilled to bring you this announcement today and hope you're as excited as we are, so stay tuned for further updates!

Wishing you a happy Easter 2022!

With love, pride and respect and all the values that make Stark great.

Mathilda and Niki


=== DEUTSCHE VERSION ===

Hallo Freunde und Fans von Stark Islands!

Wir freuen uns, euch nach 9 Monaten Abwesenheit mitteilen zu können, dass wir zurück sind und in naher Zukunft eine neue und optimierte Version von Stark Islands veröffentlichen werden!

Wir hatten Zeit, um das Konzept und die technischen Grundlagen zu überdenken. Die enorme (Server-)Arbeitsbelastung von Stark Islands war eines der größten Probleme, mit denen wir in der Vergangenheit zu kämpfen hatten. Um euch ein besseres Erlebnis zu bieten, haben wir einige wichtige Änderungen vorgenommen und arbeiten an weiteren wichtigen Details. Das neue Stark hat die gleiche Größe wie zuvor (es könnte sich mit der Zeit aber auch erweitern), ist jedoch in 4 verschiedene Regionen auf verschiedenen Servern aufgeteilt, um die Arbeitslast pro Server zu reduzieren.
Die Region wird einen neuen Grundriss haben, basierend auf der alten Hauptinsel, aber das Beste von Alt-Stark werdet ihr auch in der neuen Version finden. Wir reduzieren Prims, Meshes und Skripte so weit wie möglich, ohne die Seele von Stark Islands zu verändern. Das alles bedeutet viel Arbeit und wir werden einige Zeit brauchen und wie ihr alle wisst, wird eine Sim niemals fertig sein.
Aber wenn wir denken, dass die Sim in einem akzeptablen Zustand ist, öffnen wir die Tore!

Wir freuen uns sehr, euch heute diese Ankündigung machen zu können und hoffen, dass ihr genauso aufgeregt seid wie wir!

Also seid gespannt für weitere Updates!

Wir wünschen euch frohe Ostern 2022!

Mit Liebe, Stolz und Respekt und all den Werten, die Stark so großartig machen.

Mathilda und Niki

Well, Easter is almost here! I've made some decorated eggs on stands to add to the festivities.

The textures are included in the Peter Rabbit Egg. You can use them as is or mod them for different coloured stands or eggs. I have them on display as room size but you can of course mod them to any size from table top to giant :).
It all really depends on the size of the chickens and Easter bunnies I suppose :D.

Have a fabulous day!!
