HG Houses with Snow Control - NEW @ Needful Things

I added to all my HG Winter Prefabs a Snow Control Panel, so you can switch between summer / winter with just one click.
Most of these houses got a Light Control Panel, too.

p.s.: More modificated HG prefabs will coming soon in "Need a new Home?" store - opposite to the Bank of Needful Things.

HG Häuser mit Schnee-Menü - NEU @ Needful Things

Ich habe meinen Winterhäusern mit Schneedach, die ich über die Jahre im HG aingesammelt habe, einen Schnee-Kontroll-Schalter hinzugefügt, so dass man mit nur einem Klick zwischen Sommer- / Winterstyle wechseln kann.
Ebenso haben die meisten der Häuser einen Lichtschalter zum Kontrollieren der Lampen bekommen.

p.s.: Mehr modifizierte HG Häuser (ohne Schnee^^) folgen nach und nach in den neuen Shop "Need a new Home?" - gegenüber der Bank von Needful Things.

New release today. I was intending to make these flowers for a while and finally did them. Day Lilies and "Tiger" Lilies. In my garden, the flowers I call Tiger Lilies are really just larger Day Lilies. The real Tiger Lilies are different, I know, but I named them as I knew them :).

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!

The next installment in my PBR tutorials is available on my Discord server. This section is on reflection probes, which holds a lot of mystery if you're not familiar with them. I get into the tips and tricks I discovered over more than a year working with PBR.

You can find the thread for reflection probes in the ⁠tutorials channel on my Discord server here: https://discord.gg/SMBaqan3Ny

Opensim is so much more than the hatey-whiney folk who so often try to dominate the front page of this site with their pointless drama, and then (which is really low rent) blame their health when they get called on it.
If you're an emotional adult, you may find the following news from around Opensim interesting. We are at the halfway point of this HG Safari season, here are a few recent posts you may have missed.

Happy Sunday, all my friends. I have a little special offer for you this Sunday...here's a fluffy and cute teddy outfit in Brown and Pink for you.

Currently only for Legacy Perky...BUT!!! More will follow for Legacy f/Lara X and Lara X Petite, I promise!!!

For those coming to the gala next Wednesday at the Art Deco ballroom at Lunaria Emporium (see previous post), this photo composite shows the difference between using a PBR viewer (at the top) vs using an older viewer (at the bottom). Additionally, your settings in the PBR viewer do not have to be high to see it this way, and unless a very old computer is being used (10+ years), there should be no appreciable difference in FPS between the viewers. Of course, we're just glad you're coming, no matter what viewer you're using :-) If you are coming, I do advise visiting prior to cache your viewer when no one is around.

🎉 Hey everyone! Today we have some great new stuff to get you going on the dance floor!
This time we've given a little more thought to the boys... but fun is guaranteed for everyone! 💃🕺
Come try them out and let the rhythm sweep you away! We can't wait to dance with you! 🎶🔥

The longer I live, the more I realize I do not KNOW anything.


" The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing ." - This quote is blamed on Socrates.


Does that mean I now have Wisdom?


I do not know, shrugs.
