Update on Garden Towers Mall: Lone Wolf has moved my region to a different server, giving us an improved experience. All the hair and women's clothes have been tested by my alt from another grid. The assets should all be okay. I'm also in the process of adding some new items.

Hidden beyond the reach of maps and memory, veiled by time and shadow, lies Pendle Hollow , a long forgotten realm where the land itself hums with ancient magic.secrets. Stir along the cobble streets where few have dared to seek, but those who do will find a place where beauty and darkness exist together. We welcome you to get lost in the accent maze with towering stone wall that sits at the front the gates of Pendle Castle. You will also find a forest with a winding path that weaves through the shadowy woods, cloaked in mist and moonlight , branches whispering secrets in the wind leading the way deeper into the unknown and suddenly it opens into a radiant, moonlit clearing. Here, in a perfect circle of wildflowers and glowing mushrooms, a witch coven!

Just put some new stuff out here at the mall in our Holidays & Seasons section. There is the little ghostie vamp, Babystein and big brother Frankie and then there are a couple of Frank In a Steins (Hot dogs in beer steins). I'm also going to be adding some new Christmas and spring items. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Xara bei BK-Mode – Stil in Serie, Charakter in jedem Pixel

Xara ist keine Modepuppe. Sie ist ein wandelbares Statement, das sich nicht in Kategorien pressen lässt. Ihre neue Kollektion bei BK-Mode ist ein visuelles Manifest: neun Looks, die nicht nebeneinander existieren, sondern miteinander sprechen – über Stil, Selbstbewusstsein und digitale Präsenz.

Die Outfits sind wie Kapitel eines Mode-Romans, geschrieben in Stoff, Farbe und Haltung. Sie erzählen von Stärke und Verspieltheit, von Eleganz und Rebellion, von Momenten, in denen ein Avatar mehr ist als nur ein Bild – sondern eine Stimmung, ein Ausdruck, ein Erlebnis.

Was Xara trägt, ist nicht nur schön. Es ist präzise kuratiert, mit einem Auge für Kontraste und einem Gespür für Wirkung. Die Kollektion spielt mit Silhouetten, Texturen und Attitüde – und schafft dabei etwas, das selten gelingt: Mode, die nicht nur sitzt, sondern dich sichtbar macht – wenn du bereit bist, mehr zu sein als bloße Kulisse.

BK-Mode liefert hier keine Einzelteile. Es liefert ein Gefühl. Und Xara trägt es mit jeder Pose.

A few weeks later ..

Well I am a little more clear on what's going on and what to do. We're going to look into having Una ( Masala Estates) possibly host E Grid next year, early. I want to do it, believe me.

And for right now, I made a mistake saying E Grid was flat out closed -- its still UP. But all those lagging regions are down, they are still existing, but down. We currently have Paradise up, and all the rental lands. They will, barring weather crap or that sort of thing, stay up!

Thank you to those of you who messaged me and gave reassurances and support!

We love you and hope to return the E to its former State xxx

*** PS if you have a rental with us, please please be sure to renew that rental box :) That tells us who is still there and who isn't !

I am extremely pleased to announce completion of a webpage terraformer page that allows extreme landscaping abilities. It even allows using a black and white picture. We are the only grid that has it. :-) To try it go to this page and login with your name and password, it is the same as firestorm. https://maze.bz/loginterrain.php if you want to try it just hit sign up. Accounts with me are free...
There is a help button with instructions. After you tp to the sandbox sim to create. I look forward to seeing your creations.The terrain in the picture was done with a black and white picture.

The Mistress Commando is not a collar replacement, but adds enhanced RLV functions. It can be worn with a collar.
Mistress Commando allows one owner to be set. There is no "public" mode.
Warning: Mistress Commando is more strict and controlling than a standard OS Collar.

Owner "keyholder" can make the wearer tall or short, make them pee, shut off im/local "quiet", obscure all names/locations, completely black out their view "blind", hitch wearer to nearest object w/ watchdog enforcer, make wearer "kneel" and "m*st*rb*te", wear cuffs, srtangle them until death, send wearer to TP location.

Basic Land Hygiene And Griefer Protection
1. Please add to or offer corrections to this list.
2. Consider giving this list, or one like it, to anyone renting land from you.
3. Send this link to people you think might want to read these tips:
https://opensimworld.com/post/123825?msgSuccess=Posted

Pay attention because there will be a quiz.
1. Set Edit Terrain (Everyone) to Off
2. Set Object Creation to group only. (A private land management group for example)
3. Set Object Entry to Off
4. Set Scripts to Off
5. Set Safe mode (no damage)
6. Set No Push (this does not completely disable pushes, but it makes them less powerful)
7. Set your movelock to make yourself harder to push around. In Firestorm, this is CTRL+ALT+P.
8. The protection from any pushing is to "sit".
9. Set access to group only, or to yourself and a designated approved access list. (Kick out and ban griefers from the group)
10. Set No Fly (makes it harder for griefers to get around quickly)
11. Set Teleport routing to a specific spot (keeps griefers from being able to dodge by local teleporting)
12. Set Object Return to the shortest possible time
13. Turn off avatar visibility in About Land > Options (so griefers outside your parcel can't see you)
14. Do not respond to taunts or threats. REMAIN SILENT!
15. Mute (Block) each griefer
16. Turn off visibility of particles (CTRL_SHIFT_ALT_=)
17. Protect yourself from graphics crashers by limiting the avatar complexity your viewer can render, in Preferences > Graphics. Anything lower than "unlimited" will be fine.
18. Set your preferences to not render media or play sounds attached to other avatars.

The Quiz: What is wrong with the land settings shown in the picture?

Lately I have noticed a lot of drama, bashing, shaming and finger pointing. I am not taking sides but I felt this needed to be said.

As a grid owner I feel its important to talk to other grid owners, get to know them, work with them on issues and problems.

When did it get to the point that we dont listen to other grid owners or its members? If a grid owner or a member came to me about an issue with one of my members I would hear both sides of the story.

I dont block an entire grid unless I have a valid reason or they have me blocked and no way to resolve the issue. I prefer to just block the said member if I have very good reason otherwise I talk to the grid owner.

I dont know why some have to be too busy to not care, I suppose its why I like being a small grid. I want the time to talk to my members, see there cool builds, work on the grid and support other grids.

I know that running a grid is a lot of work, I understand that it can make grid owners so busy. But I dont feel its hard to take 5 minutes or less to listen to members or other grid owners.

If we are constantly tearing each other down, accusing other grids or people, then someday there may not be anything left in Opensim.

My door is always open for anyone that needs to talk.

Faith just put out some American Flags (C/M) for anyone that wants one. If you want a flag for your country send a notecard to Faith Fromund with your request and contact information.

If the region was closed please try to enter again. Senior Moments are real! I'm sorry

We raised a whopping $323 for charity this year!

Thank you all so much for coming by and making the evening a massive success!

We raised more for charity than last year. Thank you all for your generous donations. Giving peace a chance!

Special thanks to Niki, Mathilda, Fiona, Prim, Dolfke for your generosity!

The Annual Hypergrid Community Celebration that began as AvatarFest, became OpenSimFest, and is now #OSFest2025, is a 3D virtual festival where anyone from any OpenSimulator grid can participate from any timezone!

Friday Girls Power and Richi
Let's get started Chrissy Coage Live
This party is ours! Dance, laugh, and celebrate your inner power. Because we know: Girls can do anything.

At Mall 2 you find now Mesh Objects and classic clothes close to the landing straight ahead.

Full Perm Mesh objects, Season Objects, Deco in the left side there also are my Galeries with art i made.

When you turn right at the landing you find Mesh Clothes for Female and Male, also Hair, Shoes, Accessoires, Costumes and more.

Visit the Bakery or the street cafes.

Relax at the park or visit the playground in the middle of the mall.

Texture Mall

You find all kind of full perm textures like seasons, wood, stone, sand, water, sky,
native and much more.
Also there are textures without background in seamless or cute motives to make your
own cloth or use for poofers or what ever you can imagine.
Some ready made poofers and floaters are set there too.

I have a new pregnancy system that I'm testing, if anyone wants to try it out that would be great.

It's based on the Body 'C' System (i'll use 'C' and 'P' to keep it clean on OSW). When someone 'C's in your 'P' you may get pregnant. (The father can be Male or Female and does not necessarily have to wear a "Male Attachment", but your partner must be able to activate the C system).

Pregnancy is determined by a roll of the dice based on the probability of each day in a 28 day cycle (highest probability is day 14, but there are at least small possibilities on all days).

A "day" in OS is 4 hours. So in one RL day there are 6 OS days.

The system will warn you if you miss your period in a cycle (on 7th day). There is a pregnancy and DNA test machine at the clinic. The DNA test reveals the profile of the father, in some cases the identity may be unexpected I suppose, so use with caution if you bring your "usual" partner.

Also in the clinic is a Teddy Bear revealer if you want to have a gender reveal party and know if your baby is Male or Female. It will release a plume of pink or blue smoke.

In the clinic you will find an IUD contraceptive device in case you want to "play" with someone and not become pregnant. Just wear the device for playtime and remove it if you want to try to get pregnant.

You can optionally have it automatically alter your body shape, making you larger over the course of the 280 day pregnancy. The attached photo shows a time progression. Note, you do not have to find special pregancy clothes or wear a special tummy attachment.

My system uses a keycode signature to avoid impersonation and tampering. If for some reason you lose your keycode you can reset it at the clinic - without losing your baby.

It's full perm if you want to the see the code and/or modify.

Clinic with products is in Felicidad on ZetaWorlds Grid.
