Today, we pause to honor and celebrate the extraordinary Verna Avril, a beloved DJ at Event Plaza, an accomplished builder, and a cherished friend to so many. Verna has recently been diagnosed with late-stage cancer, and while the news has left us heartbroken, her unwavering spirit continues to shine brightly in the time she has left.

For those who have had the privilege of knowing Verna, you know her as a force of nature. Her music has been the heartbeat of Event Plaza, where she transforms gatherings into magical experiences, spinning tracks that bring people together and create memories that last a lifetime. As a DJ, Verna doesn’t just play music—she shares her soul through every beat and rhythm.

Beyond her music, Verna is a visionary builder and creator. She owns and curates numerous regions, each a testament to her incredible talent and love for creating beautiful spaces. Her worlds are filled with life, imagination, and wonder—a reflection of her boundless creativity and dedication.

Verna’s style and charisma are as unforgettable as her music. Always impeccably dressed in her signature short black dresses, she carries herself with grace and confidence that inspire those around her. But it’s her warmth, kindness, and generosity that truly make her unforgettable.

In this challenging time, Verna has shown us the depth of her strength. Even as she faces this diagnosis, she continues to remind us of the importance of living fully, loving deeply, and creating beauty wherever we can.
As her community, let us rally around her with our love and support. Share your stories, your memories, and your gratitude for the joy she’s brought into your life. Let’s celebrate Verna Avril—not just for what she’s accomplished, but for who she is: a beacon of light, creativity, and love.

We don’t know how much time we have left with her, but we do know this—every moment with Verna is a gift. Let’s cherish these moments together and honor her legacy, now and always.

Stay strong, Verna. You are loved more than words can express. 💖

Aussie and I will be hosting an event to celebrate our friend Verna Avril. In the meantime, please post messages for her here as she cannot be in Opensim but can read this website. Thank you in advance for posting for her!

Free rentals now available on Suburbs region as well as two larger rentals on Princess Islands.

Additional rentals are planned for Princess and Autumn regions.

All homes are provided on an "as is" basis and the facility may be withdrawn if abused.

Hi, everyone. I am now here, too. Everyone said I should (have to) come to OSW and also put my Big City Life here to find it. Ok, now I am here although I don't need drama and avoided to have much contact. My Facebook account is enough usually for my friends.
But if many people always ask for the hop address then it would be easier just to have it on OSW. Although my Big City Life is not suitable for many people at once, because it is so big (7x7) and full with stuff and active scripts, it is worth to visit. So if you come as couple then it is ok. But don't come at once with a bus of 20 people. Then it is hard to walk straight there. lol If you have gamer computer and fast internet it might be no problem. But for normal users with normal computers it would be horrible to be on my Big City Life with 20 people. So you are warned.
Just wanted to introduce myself here and say hello.
And here is my Home in opensim:

Thank you @FerdFrederix 💗

A heartfelt thank you to Ferd Frederix for opening my eyes to the creative possibilities of Firestorm Viewer. Your insights into Field of View (FOV) lighting effects have truly transformed my virtual photography and builds.

With Ferd’s guidance, I explored how to use light leaks and colorful textures in Firestorm’s FOV editor. Here’s how you can do it too:

Create or Find Textures: Use Photoshop or download light leak textures. Save them as PNG or TGA.

Upload to Firestorm: Import textures into your inventory.

Apply in the FOV Editor: Open the FOV settings, drag your texture into the designated slot, and adjust opacity, rotation, and position.
Experiment: Play with blend modes and colors for seamless integration.

Sync with WindLight: Combine with environment settings for cohesive, cinematic effects.

Ferd, your tutorials have been a guiding light, helping me turn creative visions into reality. Thank you for sharing your brilliance with the virtual community—you’ve made our worlds magic!

If you have been keeping up with the weather in the US, you know that about half of the US is dealing with blizzards, sub freezing temperatures severe enough to challenge infrastructures, and peripheral states are dealing with flooding and electrical infrastructure challenges. Two of our presenters had to bow out due to last minute inclement weather, and my own electricity is VERY sketchy. We have experienced power surges in my city for over 24 hrs, with uncertain relief. Sadly, I live in a state that has puffed out their chest about being off the federal grid, and in the last 10 years, we have paid dearly for that.

We are committed to this. We will reschedule sometime after the Hypergrid World's Fair, where WolfTEC will be have a presence! We hope to see you all there!

Join us at the Piazza at 3 pm grid time, for a couple of hours of fun and music while Rockin' Robert spins the tunes for us via his radio station Wax Radio.
The Piazza, where good friends and great music always come together.

Grace Noel, beloved by the Dinkies community, celebrated another year of life. Her friends had arranged a birthday surprise party at the Beach Club in the Funsize Dinkies World Resort. ** Happy Birthday GRACE **

The Funsize Dinkie love coming together... (If your a Dinkie and looking for a place to meet other Dinkies over Opensim, The Funsize Dinkies World Resort is a Dinkies Dream World, where friendships are made..)

I've just added some trial rentals to Suburbs which replaces the "by invitation only" housing.

Please note that this is on a "trial" basis and will be removed if the facility is abused.

Note the information boards at the landing area for what to expect and please check the TOS on the rentals themselves.

If this works well - I plan to add more rentals to Princess, Princess Islands, and Autumn regions.

This is a replica of a RL rocker I have, rusted horseshoe rocker. I created it trying to make the shoes rusted looking so they are missing a few "faces" on the mesh, to try to resemble rusted out, I am still working to make it better but this is at the dump, it is a fun addition to western themed sims.
