I remember 2 years ago when I didn't even know how to edit-linked! Soon after I discovered landscaping and the gratification (and frustration) that comes with it.
Current project: a 16 sims joined into a private residential area for Darkheart's. A lake area in the middle, mountains at the very end (not visible).
This is the first piece of land, still in progress - just main shape buildings and cliff-ing.

Celebrating Your Special Day @ twiztidtimez grid. Twins in both worlds Kelly and Tonya were treated to a surprise little Birthday party. The wonderful creative Faith Fromund creator of [FF] Faith Fashions spoilt the ladies with their adorable little outfits. Faith is wearing her new amazing fur outfit - as Faith says "every girl has to have fur".

I was looking on Kitley MP for some things and went to the textures page. Timeless Textures is still there even though the owner of it passed away in RL almost a year ago. Their store on Second life Marketplace is shut down. If people are still buying her textures on Kitely where is the money going for those sales? I know that the most recent texture was uploaded in 2017. Should her store still be up on Kitely or has someone been given permission to use that name?

Sanremo, situata sulla Riviera italiana, è una affascinante cittadina costiera famosa per la sua combinazione di storia, cultura e bellezza naturale. Incastonata tra il Mar Mediterraneo e le Alpi Marittime, Sanremo è celebre per ospitare ogni anno il Festival di Sanremo, uno degli eventi musicali più iconici dell'Italia.

Conosciuta come la "Città dei Fiori" per i suoi rigogliosi giardini e le esposizioni floreali, Sanremo offre ai visitatori un ambiente pittoresco con vivaci viali, architettura storica e splendide viste sul mare. Il clima mite della città l'ha resa una meta apprezzata per il relax e il tempo libero.

Il Festival di Sanremo, istituito nel 1951, è un evento prestigioso che ha svolto un ruolo significativo nella formazione della scena musicale italiana. Esso presenta una vasta gamma di talenti musicali e ha introdotto nel mondo numerose canzoni e artisti senza tempo. L'influenza del festival si estende oltre l'Italia, rendendolo un appuntamento imperdibile per gli appassionati di musica e un'esperienza culturale che cattura l'essenza dell'intrattenimento italiano.

Oltre al festival, Sanremo invita i visitatori a esplorare il suo affascinante centro storico, passeggiare lungo il lungomare e gustare la cucina locale in pittoreschi caffè e ristoranti. Non dimenticate di visitare il celebre Teatro dell'Ariston, cuore pulsante del Festival di Sanremo, dove si svolgono spettacoli e concerti di risonanza nazionale ed internazionale. Con la sua atmosfera avvolgente e la sua importanza culturale, Sanremo è una destinazione incantevole che offre un assaggio dell'antica eredità e dello spirito artistico italiano. Vi aspettiamo per condividere questa esperienza unica!

When you come to visit, enable a shared environment and walk around as the whole region is parceled into a dozen or more places...I lost count. :) Even the rivers are parceled so they have their name in the viewer when you take a raft down them or cross over them on a bridge. I have made EEPs and a lot of the parcels are different so the skies will change as you walk along. They could have been changed from your last visit because I am always messing with the skies and making new ones. Or you could look up in the sky and jump on a dragon as some circle the whole region, but sadly the skies will remain the same because of where the prim is that they are attached to. But if you see something of interest, you can jump off to explore, and the sky will change. I have a new Dragon that you can navigate on your own as well, but he needs a little work. I hope you will enjoy The Land Of Xzar. See you soon!

Region owners can now to have tidal regions, where the water level will go from 19.5 metres to 20.5 up and down. It's the same level across the grid so all regions water level will be consistent. Just turn on tidal in the control panel no need to reboot.

I am reading comments on paid content and various markets in OpenSimulator. I would like to share my thoughts and ask you to correct me if I'm wrong and shed some light on the topic.

In my opinion, Kitely has the best system both as a market and a control system. After working with it for a while, they have managed to achieve a significant result. Creators can set content that they don't want to be forced into permissions as non-exportable to other OpenSim grids, thus protecting it from the infamous GOD mode that users across all grids now have. On the other hand, those who want to make their content exportable risk selling fewer copies since it may be forced and potentially distributed everywhere.

I find it very challenging for original OpenSim creators to sell products and come close to the earnings of Second Life. For instance, even if I sell a product as no-transfer, if it ends up in the grid of a user with GOD powers, it will certainly be unlocked. Unlocking content has become an instinctive practice for many users.

It's a different story for those who create original products and release them for free. Even if unlocked, they will not suffer excessive damage (I hope), and people will be more inclined to respect permissions (I hope) and invite others to get their copy directly from the original creator without forcing and redistributing it as a favor for various friends on other grids (doing it discreetly), which can happen with paid products.

I honestly don't believe this problem will be resolved as long as GOD mode is accessible to everyone. Some grids have denied GOD mode to enforce respect for original creators' content, but these are not popular among users who can get everything they want with GOD mode. They prefer, at the same cost, to obtain regions even in poorly performing grids that allow them to do anything.

Another problem is the backup copies of regions. There have been grids that did not allow the default backup of objects without sufficient permissions, but these grids had no luck or popularity. Meanwhile, those who do not apply such restrictions obviously have more success. Even reloading the OAR on a new grid, the original creator could be permanently lost, creating confusion about who the original creator of the product is and whether the object has been purchased or not.

Therefore, honestly, I think selling on more or less renowned grids is limited to one, two, or ten sales, the time it takes for the product to be unlocked, given away, or loaded into other grids via OAR. All of this, except for Kitely, which has an exceptional system for controlling the "products" leaving its platform, a system that they don't publicly share from what I understand.
