Grand Opening @ Sodom @ Paradise Lost!
DJ Xenon Darrow will spin you a set of sensual & explicitly sexy tunes!

Sodom is a new adult playground & music festival venue! When you enter the gate to Sodom, you step into an underground accentuated by Pleasure & Pain. Leave the mundane vanilla world behind. Open your mind, body, and soul to a new experience. Imagined by Xenon Darrow, this is another spectacular and gorgeous build by Contessa LaCombe, the creator of La Califfa, Desolation, the Playa, The Art Journey, and much more!

You called, we came. We have such sights to show you

Location to be specified next Saturday, the day of the event.

Hiya All! :)

Someone was asking me about getting Moonshine for the VivoSim (Satyr, Quintonia) Farming System.

I couldn't find it anywhere except this one place but there was nowhere to get a copy of it, so I decided to make it myself! :)
It was easier than I thought! :)

FYI: You CAN get drunk from this, so be careful to not drink too much if you don't want to get drunk! :0
Also, if you want to get drunk, you will need to use the HUD that I have modified and included in this box.

If you would like a copy of this complete system, modified to make Moonshine, then come on over to my place and pic up your box which includes everything, plus notecards on how to do some stuff, too.

Here is what is included in the box along with the 3 notecards with instructions on how to use the system:

SF Drinks maker (Bar) - MODIFIED
SF Microbrewery - MODIFIED
SatyrFarm Distillery
SF Yeast Container - NEWEST VERSION (OLD ONES WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS NEW SYSTEM)
VivoSim-HUD-V6.08 Beta - MODIFIED
SF Barrel Store - RESET THIS ONCE YOU TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR INVENTORY
SF Slop Barrel - MADE EXCLUSIVELY FOR ALL INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE EACH PRODUCT.
SF Slop Barrel 1 - MADE ECLUSIVELY FOR ALL FINISHED PRODUCTS TO BE ADDED TO.
Satyr Farm Well - A REALLY COOL WELL THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME FULL PERM! :)

3 EXPLANATORY NOTECARDS

This is something new that I have been getting into, must be tried & tested. I've tested this repeatedly. If you have problems with it do not hesitate to let me know & I will make any alterations needed.

RE: THE VIVO SIM HUD WILL GIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING "Sorry, you need a VivoSim linked to your avatar to use the messaging system". THIS WILL CHANGE AFTER YOU PUT THE NEW HUD ON. JUST GIVE IT SEVERAL SECONDS TO TALK TO THE SERVER! It will also repeat this: "VivoSim-HUD-V6.08 Beta: " JUST TAKE THE HUD OFF ONCE YOU ARE DONE USING IT.

I sent this to two other grids after finally finishing tweaking it. It worked on each of those grids. I will test it out on other grids if need be. But it seemed to work on those two grids that I tested this system out on.

I have this both at the landing point as well as in the barn where I make it. If you want to go into the barn, when you get to the landing point, just click again on the landmark and it will take you right there!

OR You can use two separate landmarks:

ENJOY & HAVE FUN! ;)

Aretuza on the planet Amasango is designed to be fandom RP for fans of "The Witcher" and beyond. Set in an alternate dimension or universe it follows the adventures of Garalt, Yennifer, Tissaia and others as they adjust to their new surroundings after they "die" in their original universe. This has the potential to be some really great and fun RP for serious role players who don't need a lot of "props" and are good at descriptions and textual RP as well as visual RP. Just contact me if you're interested.

Infoabend erfolgreich Absolviert. Vorab einen Riesen Dank an die Organisatoren vom Pangea Grid. Mit viel Aufwand wurde eine echt starke Go Kart Strecke erschaffen die Spaß macht und viel Action bietet. Das fängt bei der Streckenführung an bis hin zur Boxengasse. Time Boards zeigen jedem an wie schnell die Runden absolviert werden. Bei diesem heutigen Infoabend wurde nochmals genau der Ablauf des Rennens welches am 13 Oktober statt findet erklärt. Anmeldungen zum Kart Event müssen bis zum 15.September erfolgen. Ab dem 15.September finden dann die Qualifikationen statt die gleichzeitig zur Startaufstellung erfahren werden können. Wer noch Interresse hat Teilzunehmen kann dies gerne in der Boxengasse machen. Jedes GRID kann 2 Fahrer Anmelden !!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information evening successfully completed. First of all, a huge thank you to the organizers of the Pangea Grid. A lot of effort has been put into creating a really great go-kart track that is fun and offers a lot of action. This starts with the route and goes all the way to the pit lane. Time boards show everyone how quickly the laps are completed. At today's information evening, the exact sequence of the race, which takes place on October 13th, was explained again. Registrations for the kart event must be made by September 15th. Qualifications will then take place from September 15th and can be found out at the same time as the starting grid. Anyone who is still interested in taking part can do so in the pit lane. Each GRID can register 2 drivers!!!!

I am adding scripts to the furniture that will allow you to store your items like clothing, shoes, jewelry and just about anything you want for your role play enjoyment, but you don't have to use this furniture for immersive RP you can use it as a secondary storage for your favorite outfits and other things you need quick access to without searching forever in your inventory for them. You can find the set in the "Bedrooms" department of the Furniture section. Blessings and much love, Lavia

This beautiful Pillar House was specially built for a dear friend's region to accommodate a people in her RP story. I am also making it available to others in Open Sim who would like it for their own regions. It features 3 levels, the first level being open for comfy outdoor activities like picnic or just lounging, the 2nd level is nice for living and cooking space and the top floor is for sleeping and bathing. It has a wrap around porch and is constructed of granite in various colors, polished brass and beautiful dark wengwood. Constructed to last many years, theoretically, of course. It can be found in the "Ancient Builds" department at the mall. It is full perm and free and waiting just for you! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Some of my favorite dreams are actually nightmares. I have vivid dreams that feel so real, it's like I can hold them in my hands as I wake up screaming! I quickly write them down before they escape me. I’ve read that if you keep a dream journal, after a year, you might see that many of your dreams came true in some way. Having kept dream journals for years, I can confirm this is true for me. I’m a bit psychic, though not enough to win the lottery!
Some of you have shown me bits or given hints of your projects, and I know the results will be epic. This community has incredible talent, and I can't wait to see the art each of you create.
Le Beau Retrouve Art Gallery accepts art from novices to established artists, promising to handle your work with care and respect, showcasing it to its best advantage. We believe everyone should have a chance to express themselves, so whether you're new to creating art or a well-known artist, everyone has an equal opportunity to participate and become part of the Le Beau Retrouve Art Gallery family.
I’m about to start rearranging the gallery to make way for your amazing art for the fall exhibit. Starting next week, for those working on sculptures, please stop by and see me so we can decide where to showcase your pieces on the grounds. Those creating wall art, please stop by so we can determine the best space to show off your dreamscapes.
I can't wait to meet with each of you. Thank you for being part of the gallery and my journey as an art curator.
Theme:
**Dreamscapes**:
- Art inspired by dreams and surrealism.
- Focus on imaginative, otherworldly scenes.
- Incorporate elements of fantasy and abstract expression.
Any medium, including AI Art, is allowed.

* AI Art created in NightCafe Studio

"Our virtual spaces are built on passion, authenticity, and a deep love for community. We pour our hearts into creating environments where everyone can thrive, collaborate, and feel at home. To everyone who has supported us, thank you for being part of this journey. Your encouragement and involvement mean the world to us.

Let’s continue to build, create, and uplift one another, extending our support beyond our own grids to embrace the entire OpenSim community. Together, we can achieve incredible things. 💛 #CommunityStrength #CreativeIntegrity #SupportEachOther #LoveShinesBrighter #Thankyou
