People have been asking me why I took out the furniture and other things. I have been adding them and some new ones ever since I appeared in the sky. When you land, grab the teleport to get to the items.

Hello everyone, we will be shutting down our mall until 3:00am SLT due to the upload of the new OAR and checking all vendors that everything will work.

Teleports to the region are not possible until then. We will open the new mall punctually at 0:00 our time (GMT+1) (3pm SLT). You can look forward to many new things. A detailed list will be announced later.

Even though our grid is only 1 year old, we have learned a lot in OpenSim and got to know a lot of new experiences and nice new people.

I have also added in the texture store all the scripts we have found or created. Working on this amazing find if you are a builder, the textures and scripts are a great. Some of these scripts come from when I first started SL, and they only get better with age.

We're testing PBR textures, and the results are stunning! This ring, originally created in Second Life, showcases Opensim's full PBR support, bringing every detail to life. Interestingly, when I upload my jewelry to Second Life, the scale appears much larger, but in Opensim, it matches the exact size I designed. This ring was one of my first creations and earned me an Avi Choice nomination for Best New Jewelry Store in SL! I had to nano that ring though because of the huge scale and would not reduce down to the SL Avatar. In opensim it has worked beautifully thanks to @FerdFrederix~ PBR is in its earliest stages but I am loving the results so far. This will be in the store soon. 💍💗 This image is inworld with Sunrise lighting. Lighting affects the color of the metal if the sky is red orange sunset the gold will be red, Fred pointed this out to me yesterday, so a bright mid day you will see the brightest results. I have fun playing with the sky to see what the metal will look like each sky it looks different. Fred's ring compared to mine though that he textured is beyond beautiful, he made the diamond glossy, and translucent and it is just beautiful, so gemstones can be transparent with a tint of color, so many options and we are having fun! All this is coming soon...

Why has the "What Are You Looking For" group grown to 130 members in a year? Well, there is this recent post by Tainted Angel:

"I have over 60 free oars that I give away free, and I'm always adding more. Most buildings are furnished as well. I use Dreamgrid and they'll work for opensim and secondlife. As long as you can upload an oar, there's plenty to choose from. Hope this helps".

While you are here, check out Pixey's Costume shop! There are costumes there that she has made for you from items collected around open sim and she has retextured them and made new and exclusive outfits for you! Happy Halloween!

Old concrete walls exude a rugged charm, their surfaces marked by time and the elements. Pitted with irregular holes, these imperfections create a textured landscape that catches the light in interesting ways. Stains of various hues—rusty browns, faded greens, and deep grays—tell stories of weathering and wear, as moss and lichen cling stubbornly to the cracks. The rough, mottled surface feels cool to the touch, while the air carries a faint, earthy scent of dampness and age. Each blemish and discoloration adds character, transforming the wall into a canvas of history, where every mark holds a memory of its past.

My most recent build for our Japanese themed region. The Watatsumi Pagoda Temple. It isn't completely finished as I need to add doors and furnishings but otherwise it is complete. If you love Japanese culture and history you may well enjoy this region and the things we've built like the emperor's palace and courtyard garden, the samurai house and some Japanese houses that are beautiful and simplistic in harmony with the land. There are shrines where one can relax and meditate and paths that lead to interesting things. Drop in and enjoy a self guided tour on horseback if you like. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
