Each year, we do a multi language conference to celebrate all that's good, challenging, and fun about Opensim. This year it will be April 5 and 6... more about that in coming weeks! Along with the speakers and art events in several languages, most of you probably know there's also a big Expo park that opens before the event so you can explore and learn about your fellow opensimmers. Everyone can make a booth for this expo - the deadline of Jan 31 but let Thirza know if you're running late, we'll save you a space!
Many of you (like Bloom Peters, her booth show in in the photo) have already modded the basic Expo Booth, and passed it to Thirza on OSGrid for placement in the park, but if you haven't done so yet, don't delay!
You can get the basic booth at the landing area on HIE region, and there are explainer videos in a bunch of languages at https://www.youtube.com/@hieexpo

Hello all
Perhaps it is not known for most people here. I would like to introduce something new that is more known or even common for player in new games.
We all know the problem with mesh hair and that flexi hair is not perfect too. If we would have flexi mesh hair then complexity would increase to mio. Much too much. The hair problem is not solved in many games. Even in VRchat the hair problem is not perfectly solved but right now the best solution. For clothes especially coats etc it is the same problem.
But we can also have other solution for clothes. It is not flexi but we could have animesh clothes. It looks almost realistic. Roland Francis created some animesh clothes and here you can see it in video. You get it on his Neiferleaf sim in shop at landing point. Here in this video you can see. It was not meant for showing of animesh clothes, but doesn't matter. Good job Roland!

Hey everyone, hope you are doing fine and had a great start into the new Week!

We just added new skins for female and a new skin for male. We also seperated full outfits from LovelyAmy to Crazyoutfits, wich can be found on 2nd Floor. Some male outfits are allready updated for Gianni & Legacy Meshbodys.

Also a small note about our escalators. Finaly we got them working so no need to walk anymore to the 2nd Floor but be aware that sometimes they will do ther own thing! :P

Have a great week and enjoy!

Greetings
Amelia & Hertha

Stonehaven Estates - Free plots of land for the BDSM community.

As most of you know Littlefield Grid has a very large and active BDSM population since our start in 2011. We are hoping to get more of the people in the BDSM scene together by offering some free plots of land to people from the BDSM community. They are located next to 3 of our BDSM RP regions and we have 64 plots available with 3000 prims each.
Littlefield is an adult only community, so no children, child avatars, or child play of any kind is permitted. For more info on obtaining this free land contact Walter Balazic, Dirk Mathers, or Windrunner Constantine in world.

Another look at what's coming to the newly revamped Southie Rental Community.

... yes, another rainbow ... this backdrop has to be seen to be believed!!

Opening very shortly with many rentals :)

The Opensim Worlds Fair is coming up for the month of March, and it's huge! In addition to my regular display, I was asked to create a PBR basics tutorial on their Tech area. And this pic was taken on low graphics settings to show that you don't need to have it on ultra for it to look good. I look forward to seeing everyone at the Fair :-)

For more info go to: https://www.opensimworldsfair.com/

And how long will the snows cover the Irish hills ...

....I guess we will see, but right now its the heart of Winter.

Even now, the Rainbow :)

Rentals galore.

Be sure to get your Residents group!

The many homes of New Dublin, where the Irish Rainbow even shines in the Dark ...

Come for a visit or a stay, Ireland is a beautiful place to enjoy :)

Rentals ALWAYS free. Adult region, no Child Avatars.

The 3.9 earthquake in New Hampshire this morning was my fault. i was manifesting. :D I started working on Hobomock the giant last night. He is a deity in Algonquin legend that causes earthquakes and changes the course of rivers. I must have woken him up. :)

I really appreciate everyone dumping at the Gracie and Dexter dump thank you! I have a nice spot for all of you dropping off houses, we love them too but they are taking up lots of room in the main dumping area so if we could please move the larger builds to the area shown here with the heart 💗 home is where the heart is. And, thank you!!!

or im for a teleport

This is now part of the west side (for sunset experience). There are two bays with two yachts at anchor. The first bay close to cemetery and Congress Center has a yacht to live on. You can choose, if you want to have the yacht as phantom without physics but then have to lay out all floors and walls with invisible Lego prims or you get the same yacht with physics optimized for opensim by Prince of Amor in Blender. The box to buy is on jetty. For some people the non physical is better solution if you want to use it with engine. The new physical yacht has much less prim impact and can be used for anything. It is your choice what you like better. For Houseboat Yacht to live on, I would recommend the physical Yacht.
The other bay is in front of the Seaside Hotel and was my very first project at old Copycat times 2022. This yacht was created by Silver Mare (alias former Captain Hook) with all BDSM stuff (under deck). I made out of it a fetish party Yacht inspired by the rl existing Torture Ship at Bodensee in Germany.
https://rumble.com/embed/v4d0mq9/?pub=4
You can reach the yacht by the red helicopter that is also landing at landing point. So you have the feeling to take a ride like Christian Grey to a party lol But you can also swim or float with boat to the yachts from jetty and beach at seaside hotel.

Caribbean Shores is a peaceful place of many rental properties and a lush Caribbean sunset that just takes your breath away.

If you are renting with us there already please make sure to keep your rental box up to date! :)

Rent an Island or a Hut, many choices here for sweet seaside living.
