New R. Lion Couple HUDs
This is a new system item for OpenSim, made for couple animations and designed to give more control over who can start the animation.
Blue HUDs:
Either partner can wear it and start the animations.
Red HUDs:
Only the selected gender can wear it and start the animations. For example, if the HUD says Men, only men should wear it.
Please read the manual before using it. This is not the sit-on-a-prim-old-style couple animation setup, so you will need to learn how the HUD works, how to start animations, and how to save your settings. You don't need rez permissions to use this, but you do need scripts permissions.
Also remember: OpenSim is not perfect. Avatar heights, shapes, hover settings, viewers, and animations can all behave differently. You may need to adjust hover up or down until the position looks right.
Available now at the store. Look for them in the Couple Animation section.

Ensemble Update:

Ensemble now has a default wear mode of add instead of replace (replace can still be chosen - its just no longer default for new outfits).

In addition - Ensemble now supports multiple images per outfit. One image can be selected as the "main" image but when clicking that to enlarge it - you can cycle through the images.

This also follows through to the link view - anyone with a link can also see all images for an outfit.

I would like to wish you all a very safe and happy 4th of July. I am going to be leaving open sim for a bit as my creativity has moved into a new direction. for many years in SL, I was a builder , a dj, a club owner, did tribute bands as well , and here in open sim I did some DJ ing here and there, and some rework projects and scripting of cars. AI has opened a new door for me with the writing of songs I have done over the years, so I will leave you with this one I wrote and posted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hamQ4RjH0zk

For all those who have shared and all that that cared , thank you and wishing you all the best.

My personal view on poaching. A detailed response to the post below from AnsjelaAmat

POACHING AS CARE.

Sometimes it seems like poaching players is about competition and the fight for an audience, if you view each player as a moneymaker, but you can look at it from a different perspective and see it as genuine care and a desire to unlock someone's potential. When someone invites players to join them, they truly notice them: they see that they have great ideas, that they want to create, and they try to create space for that. There's even something touching about this: after all, a person doesn't just sit in their region and count souls, but seeks out those who will be interesting and wants them to feel better.
It's great that there are so many different regions in the virtual world—players have a lot to choose from, and each corner strives to showcase its uniqueness. Some invite you because they believe that this is where people can discover new ways. We all have different tastes, and that's wonderful—some prefer peace and quiet, while others prefer vibrant projects and constant events. Diversity makes our world richer, and finding "your place" is an exciting adventure.
After all, the most valuable thing in virtual worlds isn't the land or the buildings, but the people who bring them to life. Let there be more spaces where players are seen, appreciated, and supported, and more stories where a simple invitation becomes the beginning of something truly amazing. Let everyone find a place where their ideas are warmly welcomed, and where they find people nearby with whom they want to create something amazing. If you're being lured away, go away—don't be afraid or ashamed. Perhaps for some of you, this will be a chance for a happy virtual life. After all, you can always go back if you don't like something. And don't let someone else dictate your opinion.
