New Release: Sol et Luna, a steampunk watch.

This time I made a simple wrist watch, it obviously shows the time but also the date in an unconventional way.

The wrist band can be either brown or black, it's controlled by a menu that appears on click and it comes for system avatars and ruth v2/4.

You can resize it to make it fit properly on your avatar and as always all the textures are included for your customisation needs.

Don't forget to read the manual.


Happy Saturday!

Thanks so much to our wonderful hosts on 3rd Rock and Neverworld grids and tothe thirty odd brave souls who came to see two great sci fi builds. If you missed it, catch the highlights of Week 1 of the new HG Safari season here:

Product update: Arcadia’s Art Deco Set.

I’ve made a bunch of changes in this set to improve it:

- Created specularity settings for the whole set, so now it reflect lights more realistically and it looks better.
- Changed the geometry and collision cage for the armchair, so now it won’t clip on low LODs and the collision will be more accurate.
- The armchair is not a single pose chair any more, now it’s a full SFPoser with 16 unique animations I‘ve made for it, (4 for boys, 4 for girls and 4 for couples).

Grab your fresh copy at the main shop.

Happy Tuesday!

Product update: Arcadia's Espresso Machine.

Some people told me their coffee machines didn't work in their sims.
It was a difficult fix because I couldn't reproduce the error but I managed to fix it anyway.

If for mysterious reason your espresso machine won't work, take a fresh copy at my shop or at the shop at Wright Plaza.

If your coffee machine works then there's no need to update.

Happy Thrusday!

So much brilliant creativity on Safari this week

I understand that it is very modern and populist to support a cause that we know nothing about. Just because it already has a million followers on social networks. I also understand that you denounce anyone who deviates from the flock of followers. I also understand how easy it is to show a heartbreaking photo that you know nothing about and write a stunning message underneath it ... about something else.
I just don't understand why people instantly believe in fraud and fakes. I don't understand why they are ready to go to war in defense of foreign interests.
I don't understand why and when we stopped looking for the truth...

Bald ist es soweit - noch einmal schlafen, dann startet - wie jedes Jahr - der Adventskalender auf Eternal Ice.
Alle Geschenke sind von ihrem jeweiligen Tag bis zur Entfernung des Adventskalenders erhältlich- es gibt also keinen Zeitdruck, jeden Tag nach dem Kalender sehen zu "müssen", um kein Geschenk zu verpassen ...
* * *
Soon it will be time - sleep once more, then - like every year - the advent calendar on Eternal Ice will start.
All gifts are available from their respective day until the Advent calendar is removed- so there is no need to check the calendar every day to not miss a gift....

“A crown is merely a hat that lets the rain in.”
So there all you crown wearing people. You're all wet! Ha!

oh HELLO: Outfits With Hats (or at least, some of them)

Many stores where you can buy NOTHING (after all, everything is free!) are waiting for you here. To make your stay as pleasant as possible, there are 4 frozen yogurt stores in the small town - number 5 will open eventually. Or not^^.
Furthermore, there are 2 clothing stores with fashion for men and women, although something has gone wrong with the textures here - but come and see for yourself!
Brand new addition is the hairdressing salon with no less than 3 hairstyles - I can already betray that they are really the latest craze ;)
* * *
Viele Geschäfte, in denen ihr NICHTS kaufen könnt (schließlich ist alles kostenlos!), warten hier auf euch. Um euren Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten, gibt es 4 Frozen-Yoghurt-Läden in der kleinen Stadt- Nummer 5 wird irgendwann eröffnen. Oder auch nicht^^.
Ferner gibt es noch 2 Kleidungsgeschäfte mit Mode für Damen und Herren, wobei hier irgendwas mit den Texturen durcheinander gekommen sein - aber kommt und seht selbst!
Ganz neu dazugekommen ist der Friseursalon mit sage und schreibe 3 Frisuren - ich kann schon verraten, dass die echt der letzte Schrei sind ;)

The landing point - and at the same time the starting point of the game - is located inside the town hall. You can choose between English and German instructions. Also take the note card from the info box with you - it might help to understand the game easier - and also to find the searched persons faster.

For all the singles among you: your ultimate soulmate is waiting for you on "The Good Place"! The person who fits you perfectly ... [ or maybe not ] ...
* * *
Der Landepunkt - und gleichzeitg Startpunkt des Spiels - befindet sich im Inneren des Rathauses. Ihr könnt zwischen englischer und deutscher Anleitung wählen. Nehmt euch auch die Notizkarte aus der Infobox mit - sie kann helfen, das Spiel leichter zu verstehen - und auch die gesuchten Personen schneller zu finden.

Für alle Singles unter euch: auf "The Good Place" wartet euer ultimativer Seelenverandter auf euch! Die Person, die perfekt zu euch passt ... [ oder auch doch nicht ] ...

Yes, this strange place is also on "The Good Place". But you'll have to find out for yourself what it's all about - I can't reveal everything here!

As uninviting as this part of the region is - inside this building are the "guest books" in the form of geodes, which you can break open and leave your name as a visitor. Some of you may already know this from my region "Stella Polaris". But of course you are welcome to like "The Good Place" here on OSW, if you like the region - or the game ...
* * *
Ja, auch dieser merkwürdige Ort befindet sich auf "The Good Place". Was es damit auf sich hat, müsst ihr aber dann doch selbst herausfinden - ich kann hier doch nicht alles verraten!

So wenig einladend dieser Teil der Region auch ist- im Inneren dieses Gebäudes befinden sich die "Gästebücher" in Form von Geoden, die ihr aufbrechen und damit euren Namen als Besucher hinterlassen könnt. Mancher von euch kennt das vielleicht schon von meiner Region "Stella Polaris". Aber natürlich dürft ihr "The Good Place" auch gerne hier auf OSW liken, wenn euch die Region - oder das Spiel - gefällt ...

The park - isn't it pretty? Isn't it wonderful-wonderful?
It would be, if it weren't for the unicorn with the flatulence - and the rainbow only looks good from outside...
* * *
Der Park - ist er nicht hübsch? Ist er nicht wunder-wunderschön?
Er wäre es wohl, wenn da nicht das Einhorn mit den Blähung stünde - und auch der Regenbogen sieht nur von außen gut aus...

The train station - from here you can get anywhere! Or almost. The stops are necessary to follow the story. And to collect prizes. And to strain your nerves ...
* * *
Der Bahnhof - von hier aus kommt ihr überall hin! Oder fast. Die Zwischenstopps sind notwendig, um der Geschichte zu folgen. Und Preise einzusammeln. Und um eure Nerven zu strapazieren ...

oh! HELLO!
The story so far: Grid offline for far too long. Now, back online. Shop closed, and, now completely remodeled, reopened. New and renewed outfits coming soon.

Sorry. We are open. oh HELLO!
grid.copykat.ovh:12000:Xinashi

If you don't know about oh HELLO, here's the skinny. The shop offers carefully curated outfits -- with options. If one item in the outfit is part of a fat pack, you get them all. The outfit is a complete look that you can customize. Cool, huh? You also get a preset body alpha HUD, because, why not? I set one up for my own use, so it's easy enough to toss a copy into the box.

Nothing you could do or say is right.
I already know just what I like.
Bad girl, need a bad girl, need a bad girl
'Cause the bad boys just don't cut it
We got what they want want, what they want want
They can look but they just can't touch it
Bad girl, need a bad girl, need a bad girl
'Cause the bad boys just don't cut it...

The Art Factory is about art and artists. At The Art Factory, we display art; we appreciate art; we learn about art; and, we promote art. We have over a dozen galleries dedicated to in-world artists, where they show their innovative creations. As such, we are continuing our feature - Meet the Artist. This week, we interviewed Antonia Ling, owner of Antonia Ling Gallery, Inspired By Gallery, Metropolis Poster Shop, and a 2001 themed gallery.

Antonia, tell us about yourself and your art.
“It's not easy to talk about myself. What have I to say about my person? Not much... really. I like photography and I like to photograph. I love to photograph old churches when I'm in Denmark. Or ships in the harbor... often details. Not the big ones, I prefer little old boats of the local fishermen. I like to photograph old cars and colorful flowers. I love art from the 1920s to today, I love a lot of the german BAUHAUS and their Master like Kandinsky, Alberts or Lazlo Moholy-Nagy.”

What are you doing currently?
“I try to photograph a bit. At the moment I deal with cyanotype. It fascinates me...”

What is your inspiration for art in world?
“I do what I do because I like to do it. When one in a million likes it... I'm happy.”

Thank you so much for your interview, Ms. Ling. We love your ongoing contributions to The Factory.

Pink Floyd - In the Flesh! Or is it In the Mesh? Ernest and I spent all day bringing album cover art to life today. A different spin on art, but the installations are pretty amazing to see! Come by Battersea and see for yourself!

Formed in 1965, Pink Floyd are probably one of the most loved groups of the Psychedelic era. Their 15 studio albums from 'Pipers at the Gates of Dawn' to 'The Endless River' spanned 47 years.

Floyd were renowned for their sonic experimentation, live performances incorporated lavish light shows and quadraphonic speaker systems. Concept works such a 'The Dark Side of the Moon' and 'The Wall' played on repeat on many bed-sit turntables of the 70's booming out the dark themes of alienation, war, insanity and dystopia.

Art surrounded much of Floyds output, cartoon illustrator Gerald Scarfe provided his disturbing ink-splattered caricatures for the rock opera 'The Wall' and their albums most often featured the work of surrealist graphic designer Storm Thorgerson who also produced covers for Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel, the Alan Parsons Project, Genesis, The Muse, The Cranberries and Biffy Clyro.

Housed in the re-creation of Battersea Power Station on the Art Factory estates, the artwork of Pink Floyd is presented along with 3D recreations. Pink Floyd radio is permanently live when ever you need a sound track to close you eyes to and become comfortably numb. Look out for live shows and events coming soon.
