All are welcome at Three Hills Grid. We embrace a spirit of kindness, inclusivity, and respect, where everyone—regardless of background, identity, or orientation—can feel safe, valued, and free to be themselves. Whether you're here to explore, create, connect, or simply be, you belong.

This is a picture of the replica of the home I grew up in here in Pennsylvania. We had a huge farm house to live in and lots of freedom to roam wherever we liked. In my humble opinion, you just can't beat country life. The house, smoke house, garage and barn are all here at the mall just waiting for a new place to be set up. Blessings and much love, Lavia

"Hairpinning" Public Safety Annoucement and a small favor to ask of home Opensimulator server owners.

If you added a MAC address to a ban list, you may ban yourself, or ban all uses from any grid that uses a Loopback adapter for hairpinning. The problem is all Loopback adapters use the same MAC address. There is a different one for each type, such as WIndows, Mac and Linux.

Opensimulator servers require routers with working hairpinning so the server can find itself at the WAN's public IP. Loopback adapters are sometimes necessary at the server because not all home routers support hairpinning, a.k.a. Loopback. Only the the server can log in to itself, when the server has a loopback adapter. Others on thje same LAN can use a VPN, which moves the network endpoint outside the LAN, and onto the WAN.

Also, a lot of people think Loopback is needed for the Hypergrid. It's not. It only so the server can see itself at the external WAN IP.

I help maintain a list at http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers of compatible and incompatible routers. Please, do us all a huge favor, and if your router for your home server is not listed, please comment the brand, model number and whether loopback works or not, and I will add it.

Thank you!

🎉 OSgrid is now open to the public again! 🎉

We’re happy to announce the official reopening of OSgrid!
To ensure a smooth and stable experience for everyone, please take the following steps carefully:

🧹 Before doing anything:

Clear your viewer caches (both textures and inventory).

Reload your regions (OARs) first using the following command:

load oar test.oar --force-assets
(Replace test.oar with the name of your own OAR file)

For IARs (inventory backups), please wait a little longer before uploading. Let’s take it step by step.

🌀 At LBSA Plaza:
You’ll find a question mark “?” on the plaza. Clicking it will help you stop appearing as a cloud.
Don’t forget to wear the folder offered through it to restore your avatar appearance properly.

🔄 Simulator update required:
Make sure to update your sim to the latest code on the website:
👉 https://osgrid.org/download.php

🙏 Thank you all for your patience and support.
This slightly extended downtime has allowed us to come back stronger, offering a more professional and stable experience for the entire OSgrid community.

See you in-world soon!

How Old Is Your AV in Human Years?
When discussing SL romances, back in the day, it was common to hear people say that an in-world relationship of one year was the equivalent of 4 or 5 RL years. Now, if you own a dog, you might have heard that one dog year is equal to seven human years. It's more complicated than that. The chart has it all sorted out. Have a look, and tell us, if we thought of AV years as dog years, how old is your oldest OS AV in human years?

As for me, my oldest OS AV was in OSG, and had existed for 15 years. If that OSG AV were a dog, it would have been between 76 and 93 years old in human years now. (Lord, it was way ready to die. And I think, now, it is).

I decided to migrate my regions from OSGrid to my own private grid so I do not depend of anyone, took me some hours to set up the configuration with the HyperGrid but I did finally. I really appreciate to the OSGrid team all the effort on all these past years, when I connected my project on their grid back in 2019 allowed me to show my project which I started back in 2011, but after a long time thinking about it and learning more about how it works the Hypergrid and to setup it, I was able finally to do it and perfom the test from the outside (with a account I created on other grid), I'll connect some of my the others regions in several hours (the speedway), and I'll balance better the load of all the regions in several servers over the time since it also runs now the ROBUST. Still need to work on the backups tasks, uptimes checkers. The construction of the city, is still ongoing, and I do it when I have free time, motivation and I'm inspired (since I want to do the buildings and all in a good way, I mean, not all the same, all differents with unique things even some share the same initial design), and also the city is not only on the surfarce, I build also under what can be seen on the map. Initially I wanted to do this way, but since I didn't know nothing about Hypergrid and how to setup back in 2019, never tried, until these last days when I started to see how to configure it.

Come visit Havana @ OMG Twitztid Timez Grid - it's colorful and lots of fun. Walk the streets of Havana, visit the art gallery. Pick up some groceries at the supermarket. Stop at the cafe and people watch and when your done, kick off your heels and dance away at Havana Open Air Club - be sure to pop in and visit the locals close by.

For reasons:
Last night someone was on my sim for 4 min and wrote a review:
"The lag dragged me out of this sim and I´m on a high end computer. Less would be more in this case or change the server!"
When I came online this morning and looked at my traffic board I was looking what could be the reason. That it is so laggy that it dragged him from my sim must be a reason different from his computer, if it is really high end computer.
I am the whole day on my sim with a MacBook Air. Not really high end for opensim. I have to emulate an Intel processor and emulate OpenGL because MacOS is not supporting openGL since 13 years or so anymore. I have even on normal 1x1 sims with an Island and house on it never more than 30 fps framerate. So I think my computer is for this game on low end but can even take videos of Big City Life as you can see in more than 50 videos on my rumble page.
So there must be a reason for it that he was even dragged with his super high end computer (if this is true and this review was honest meant)
I have a suspect. I have also an OSgrid avi but don't hypergrid with it anymore. I just park it on Lbsa. But for my MacBook Air it seems much more difficult to hypergrid with my OSgrid Avi than with my main Avi or my Avi of Wolf territories I use now often for hypergridding while I park my main avi at home.
But on the other side I see on my board that someone with his OSgrid avi was 23 min on my sim. So he must have been no problems. Usually my visitors stay 1-4 min or half hour to an hour on my sim. The first ones that just stay on my sim for few min have usually just an older Laptop or so and see very fast that their framerate is very low. So this is normal. My Big City Life is a 7x7 sim heavy loaded with thousands of scripts running. It is normal that user will go immediately when they find out that they can't walk straight on my sim. I always said that I built this sim the limit of what opensim as technology is capable of so that I can even live on the sim with my MacBook Air. And this is not a gamer computer.
But I suspect there is another reason. A resident on my sim has a new gamer Laptop (5300 Euro) and tried out with different Avis from different grids how performance is. Usually she has always 60 fps with one avi. She tried out also with 2 and 3 Avis at the same time. The interesting point is that she had with her decadence avi and her wolf territories avi 34 fps and with her osgrid avi 21 fps at the same time while staying with 3 avis on Big City Life. So her Osgrid Avi had lower framerate although it should have been same as the other while view of all 3 avis should are same/similar.
I get mostly visitors from many different grids. Perhaps when you come to my sim you should try out with avis from different grids. Perhaps there is now some technical problem with OSgrid that hypergridding is more difficult.
Just my thoughts about this case for a reason.

Merry Christmas everyone!! News from 3HG -Thanks all goes to Fred Beckhusen. I just witnessed a server move from Contabo VPS to:

AMD Ryzen 7 8845 with 16 cores and threads. The setup features a 4X x 4X x 2" configuration for high-performance computing.
Key features:
1 Gbps Network delivering reliable and fast connectivity.
NVMe M.2.5 SSD, achieving speeds of up to 6 GB/s, offering 2x the standard 3 GB/s performance for exceptional read and write operations.

I could never have done this without Fred's help , he had to copy numerous times to get full complete backup Contabo was being totally slow and useless he gave me permission to say and I quote: "Contabo sucks donkey balls"

3HG is on a shiny new server that zips right along now - what a huge difference. Fred, your patience and troubleshooting techniques is just mind blowing, I cannot believe what I just witnessed in tech skills. Your determination is what sets you apart, I honestly thought this move was not even possible (Fred says I have a big purse), again you prove me wrong. Thank you and Merry Christmas my Metaverse Santa, it is time to put your feet up by the fire 🎅🏽🎄❄️🎄💗💗💗

Roz Carr, born Rosamond Halsey Carr, was an American humanitarian and author who became widely known for her work in Rwanda. Born in 1912, she spent much of her early life as a fashion illustrator and model in New York before marrying British explorer Kenneth Carr.

In 1949, Roz Carr moved to Rwanda with her husband, where they managed a pyrethrum (a type of chrysanthemum used in insecticide) plantation. After her marriage ended, she remained in Rwanda, which became her home for the rest of her life. During the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, she witnessed the horrors of the conflict firsthand. Following the genocide, Roz Carr dedicated herself to helping orphaned children, founding the Imbabazi Orphanage on her plantation to provide care and education to children who had lost their families.

Carr authored a memoir titled Land of a Thousand Hills: My Life in Rwanda, which recounts her experiences in the country, from the time she arrived in the 1940s to the years following the genocide. Her work earned her recognition as a significant humanitarian figure, and she continued to live in Rwanda until her death in 2006 at the age of 94.

Roz Carr's legacy lives on through the orphanage and the lives of the 400 children she helped.

Fred and Deb created Virunga with Roz Carr's plantation featured here, that you can visit and leave flowers and notes in a little mailbox at the house. Outworldz Virunga 701, 194, 24 - www.outworldz.com:9000:Outworldz Virunga Thank you for all the magic you share with us Deb and Fred 💗🌷💗https://www.facebook.com/Loveboundus/

We are sad to announce The Roleplay Grid is shutting down as of August 5th, and at this time we do not anticipate a return.

The E Grid will remain running and is stable and very much still alive!

For us it was a situation of changed circumstances and cost of running TRG.

The E Grid is a grid running on our own 64 Gig Server, and so the cost is still not an issue.

Tenants on Paradise have been messaged, but if you did not receive, you have till August 5th to find a new home. We are sorry for this, and have tried to give some notice instead of just suddenly being gone ...

I am pleased to announce the opening of the Selea Core Store, located in the southeast corner of the Star Ravenhurst Designs region. This project, which I dedicated over two weeks to last November, aims to preserve the body of work created by Selea Core, who left Open Sim unexpectedly around 2016-17.

At that time, Victor DeAngelo, Ms. Kal, and I gathered all the available Selea Core products. Victor also sourced additional items, re-boxing and labeling them since many were originally stored in folders rather than their original packaging. These items were subsequently offered at his shop.

Years later, I observed that many of these boxes had migrated to different locations, and several had become corrupted, containing duplicates or broken items. Consequently, I undertook the task of meticulously cleaning, repairing, and reboxing them with new labels to distinguish my collection from others. Additionally, I included rare Elven items from my collection that are not widely distributed elsewhere.

While I strive for perfection, I acknowledge that some boxes may not be flawless. However, I assure you that the Selea Core boxes available at this shop are clean, up-to-date, and ready for you to take home.

Please note that Selea Core often used Rezzers for her houses and many of her scenes, typically designed for a single 1x1 SIM. You will need to adjust the script to match the size of your region for the rez box to function correctly. If you require assistance, please feel free to reach out.
Special thanks to Victor DeAngelo for helping to preserve the work, Jupiter Rowland for sharing his SC collection with me, and Ms. Kal for leaving my boxes in her sandbox all this time so I didn't lose the collection.

Still checking out the Smart Start.

Seems at times to be trying to work correctly, but FS keeps crashing on tp -- and updated to the latest FS and same thing.

Is this something that happens a lot with teleporting to a Smart Start region? Also, noticing my Dream grid tp boards are often not resetting to be active at all once the regions start. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.

I have my delay set to 30 seconds. Have tried 45 seconds too, and same thing. The time for a region to close down in 2 minutes. Have tried less and more, no change.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Or does this just often glitch out?

Hello Friends!

I am thrilled to announce that I have my own grid! It was time to expand my horizons, and for Le Beau Retrouvé to truly flourish, it needed the resources to bring my vision to life. My mission is to showcase the incredible talents of artists from all genres and media, along with our amazing DJs and singers in OpenSim during our events.

The gallery is a beautiful, peaceful place, a neutral territory open to all grids and all people. I hope it becomes a hub where artists and anyone else can meet, collaborate, and build a community of friends from all grids and countries. Perhaps our dream of world peace starts with us and our virtual worlds.

Land Of Xzar is also on the new grid for you to visit, and some exciting new regions will soon be open to the public. Please stop by and refriend me if you wish, as this is a new account and I will no longer be on the Genesis Roleplay Grid. Though I am no longer on Genesis, I support them as I do all grids in our community. I am thankful for the time I had and wish them well.

I am also deeply grateful for the overwhelming support I have received from my friends and the community. Your support has meant so much to me and has been an integral part of my journey.

So, what are you dreaming of?

Gallery: https://opensimworld.com/hop/91996

Welcome Region Under Construction. I will list it once it is done.

Looking for a script? Need some kind of script functionality modified?

At this time I'm not looking to take on huge projects, as I'm working on a few of my own, but I welcome any small to medium scripting needs that you may have.

Feel free to drop me a message! I'm happy to help in any way that I can.

(To ensure I receive your message, please use OSW's messaging feature!)
