TO THOSE GRIDS THAT BLOCK US...

There are 7 of us, me who made the grid for the others, and 6 students, who rotate. We don't even change our avatar, we still have the same clothes, skin...

We like to go to the list of new regions to see what people have made new. If you don't want us to go, why advertise them on this site?

If you're afraid we'll rip you off, we dare you to find something on our grid that's not for sale. Even, when there is some special work, we post it and next to it we put a link to your grid (as in the case of Cherry Manga, Flora, Lani...).

We are not your competition in anything, we don't rent regions, we are not interested in users (although they are welcome if they prefer to be here).
As we said in another post, if someone wants something of what we do, ask us, we almost always forget to put it in copy or for sale).

In fact, the Welcome region, we have made it with links to this site and to places that we believe that anyone who comes to Opensim should know, because of their work.

On the other hand, we are disappointed with the people... it is sad, when they pass by you and even if you say hello, you do not receive the slightest sign of friendship. This is what hurts us the most (in our homes we are always forced since we were kids to say "hello" when you arrive and "goodbye" when you leave), indifference is punished with a "scolding".

We are so few and this is the relationship we are looking for... not even a "hello"... but a "don't come closer, I won't let you".

So, after this rambling, I leave you with the image of the endangered species of freshwater fish, which I'm sure we have stolen from Kittely or some similar site :))))

Long live freedom and death to the Troll!!!

Whatever we say is a lie is a lie and breaking the rules is a violation. We all know which SIMs are breaking the rules and submitting fake attendance data. We also know why they do it.
I removed their names from here. Only shame remained.
I am ashamed to discuss this matter further.

Thank you for the stones with which you beat me.
================================================





Calm the hysteria!
no one wants you to close regions or stop your work.

I want ONLY and ONLY FAIR GAME!

Is it that hard?

All you know names of SIM with fake visitors list.
Again - i delete shame list.

Excuse me, but it is offensive to me to do this.
I don't know about you, with what impudence and shamelessness you shout that I am driving away the thousands of customers from your overcrowded SIM.
People leave OPENSIM because they go around the beacon popular places looking for PEOPLE and only find bots or abandoned avatars.
No one comes from SL to buy free rags (yes they are lovely!), people want to COMMUNICATE!!!

I know you won't understand me. It's just that you've already closed yourself up in your made-up happiness and don't want to go out and socialize. You can blame me for all your sins. do it! You can post from your dozens of clones created to mimic crowds of supporters.... Ban me, report me, shame me!

And don't shout that someone banned or restricted you! The only one punished in OSW is me, and again because I told the truth that the number of visitors was fake! I confessed and I was punished because the rules are like that!

Want me to delete this SIM and everything on it? OK, but will that erase the lie? Will it bring at least one new user to OpenSIM? Will it remove the six traditionally parked dolls from the new beach party region (yes, yes - the newcomers follow tradition)?

OPEN THE DOOR AND GET OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE.
COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE, NOT YOUR OWN COPIES!

And don't worry, I won't make a new list. It's pointless, it's disgraceful.
P.S. No matter how much you don't like the truth, it doesn't change the facts. No matter how many times you repeat lies, they will not become truth.
You are only spoiling the good impression of your other actions...

Hello,

I am actually nobody of consiquence, but I write this for those who want information about me. I stated to many of you that I would not go into detail because I dont want to speak bad. But attacks are aimed at me and my friends so I write this under protest. Read if you care or are just curious; pass if not, as it makes no difference to me.

I joined Opensim out of curiosity when a close friend of mine showed me something he thought I would enjoy; he was right. I used his account to learn to navigate and explore, it was fun! Then we made my OSG account and I began to explore on my own and meet people. I did not find many until I came across a popular sim. I became friends with that sim owner and they welcomed me in and I started to meet people. Many were very helpful in teaching me and coaching me on OPensim and AVI creation. I listened and learned. I am a pretty fast learner. My first AVI was an atrocity, but entually I got her as close to me and my look as possible, which I found super fun. I had so much fun, I am a shop aholic and this scratched that itch.
A few weeks later I was asked by the grid and sim owner to take part in getting people to sign up. I agreed and then was given a small house that I could decorate. All fine and good. Then out of the blue the grid owner offered me a sim and I told them that I had never ran a sim so dont expect too much (The sim was a shopping area). Then the grid owner gave me a larger house and I was impressed. All seemeds sureal.
A few days later I had invited a friend to the house. (Adult activities were being had betewwn two adults) Out of knowhere the owner of the house poofed in and banned us both from the house sending me naked into the grid landing area. SO apparently the grid owner gave me the house that belonged to another grid manager and they did not agree, but I wound up being the one who was treated like garbage and then they removed the sim they had given to me from me (Luckily I had not invested time in it).
Disgrintled and having a bad taste in my mouth. I could not stay in the grid. The Grid owner constanltly harrassing me for things, even after I was treated poorly for no reason. ALong comes another grid owner who would like to start a similar sim. I eventually agree, because I could not stay in this grid. They were the knight in shinig armor picking up the damsel in distress. All is ok. They show me around their grid and explpain how amazing their grid is, which was fine. Im still cautious and reserved about this venture not wanting to alienate my friends, but was assured that they would understand. EVentually I agree and start to learn how to build etc etc etc. The grid owner doubted that I had any build skills, but quickly I had proved otherwise. All was good. The sim was opened and advertised. People statred to come and the sim rose in ranks. We only were running on the premise that we do it good and do it best, the rest will follow. I was ok with that. If the sim was not good it would die. MAny people started to come and they liked the sim. It became popular.
During the run, only a few people had to be banned and the ban was mutually agreed upon. Soon after though the bans were unilateral. I was fine with this at first becasue it wasn't my grid and the grid owners experience is much more than mine. So I just accepted it. Then we would get people that would come and they brought their friends with them and they would have fun, but then they would get banned. It happened again and again. I would field the complaints from these users and honeslty was powerless to do anything about it. I was met with "Oh Jamie, you dont know what I know." So even though I disagreed and no information was given to suport this, only conjecture and heresay. I let it be becasue..this is not my grid.
Then I was presented some information that I was not thrilled about, I eventually logged out for the day. When I logged in, the grid owner snapped at me. I responded that I will never be talked to like that EVER. I then asked about the information that I was given and allowed the grid owner to explain. Again they advised me that I have no idea as to what the truth is and that the person presenting me this information is insane and that they have a messed up life. (Honestly the explanation and the fact the grid owner snapped at me out of the blue was pretty telling, as I had never even mentioned it to them nor would they have any information that I had known). They apologised and I was ready to let it be. I logged out a little ruffled. Next day I was ready to log in and just work the sim, but was slapped in the face with accusations and allegations from no where. So I simply resigned. Thats it. I just would have nothing to do with them or the sim (Hostile work environment).
I update my OSG profile that I will not be part of any grid, nor will I create an account on their grid, becasue so far its worked out terrible twice. Since I have left, people have asked why I left and my answer was this.

"I will not talk bad, but I just resigned."

I provide no details as to why etc etc. I was then told by those people their experience with the grid owner and it pretty much matched mine in the end. But I would not confirm their story, I would only say Im sorry you had that experience. I have not attacked the sim or the grid owner. The first grid owner I mentioned previously, I have publicly said that they are a moron, but this specific grid owner I have not. The only one I have ever spoken in detail to was to the one that gave me the info. Everyone else, I just stated I resigned. I know some people must enjoy drama, I for one do not. That is why I pretty much have not responded to the digs and jabs this grid owner has slung my way. You can see on OSW I have not responded nor will I; its not part of who I am.

Here are some of the things this Grid owner says, of which I have either not responded to, or have the ability to respond to. I have removed the names of peopple and added the (Jamie) to help in understanding.

To the grid owner. I have no interest in the success or failure of your grid/sim, it will survive or fail based upon your actions/management alone. As you have stated that if I were replaced by an NPC, no one would notice; have at it. I have not attacked or said anything bad about you, your grid, or your sim, excluding the one person who provided me the chats between you and them, of which we (you and I) discussed. I did not leave the sim, based on that chat transcript alone, but the subsequent actions on your part towards me; especially when you stated that this was a mistake. Each passing day I see what you say about me only re-enforces this.

You claim I am a man, and I am not. I do not have to validate myself to you or anyone else, I owe no one anything. I am thankful that I did not send you more photos of me or call you, because then I would be dealing with you in real life. This shows that my precautions are justified. Regardless, these points can be taken:
1. If I am a girl, I know that no woman should be treated like the way you treated and are treating me and others.
2. If I am a man, and if I had daughters, I would never want them to be around a person like you.

I had no idea you were hunting me down in OS and I ask you to stop. I want no part in you or your grid/sim. I do not seek to undermine you, your grid, or sims, plain and simple. I am just not a part of it and it will thrive or fail on your own merits. Please leave othergrid/sim owners alone and swim in your lane.

Even if I left and never logged in again, as I stated to you prior to my departure, you and your actions alone will be the success or failure of your grid (with or without me). You are smart about running a server and scripting, but I have to give you poor marks with regard to your personal interactions with people and conspiracies you have formulated in your head.

You should also ask yourself, why would Jamie risk all her friendships and waste all her time collaborating with some one to build a sim to make it successful only to work behind the scenes to make it fail? Additionally, to answer the question you had about me..and you should have already had the answer. WHy have I not been myself lately? Well when you have someone close to you going through some medical issues, it can wear on your mood as you worry and contemplate life without them. OS Was kind of an escape from reality.

So in the next few days I will weigh the following and decide whether my time in OS is over:
1. I came to play, meet people and have fun. AM I still acheiving/enjoying this?
2. Is any of this worth the nonsense? I can trade the time I spend here for days on a real beach in a snap.


I want to thank those people that had reached out to me and offered me a sim, a home, land, etc etc. I appreciate the offers and I have declined them. I only offer my opinion on your sims design, thats it. I look forward to stopping by and enjoying your designs.

I just want to be me.

News and updates...
Suzan Von Otto of Klamotto(https://opensimworld.com/hop/78282) messaged me last night to inform me she rigged my hair and made it two material faces, to be distributed freely with the nonrigged version. I will do this- but want to make a good hair hud for it first. Thinking of adding compatibility also with the "Decadence Hair Huds" I see floating around so people have even more choices.

2. I am making the main shops inside more cozy and finished looking. The idea is the newest or most popular things will stay right at the front outside but everything else goes inside eventually. Avatar stuff and hairs will go in "avatar magic" which is shaping into an "alternative sci/fantasy" beauty shop.

3. Just a few months away from new open source bodies and I finally fixed some errors I had with the Ruth2 V3 devkits...I have also legal copies of old maitreya devkit, among others from when I did things in SL. I have a few things I never put on the big grid and can, even for Athena users, because legal stuff for nonlegal bodies can be a "Gateway drug" to more legal content. And the problem isn't just going to go away cold turkey. So I can put my huge supply of "I made this, rigged it, it looks nice, never wore it in SL" on opensim. We'll see how it goes.

Getting closer to Christmas, thinking of an old friend. We had a lot of fun racing these. Missing her laughter and personality. We all have some good times here, try and enjoy every moment because people don't last forever. She changed my life in a way she could never have imagined. Here's to old friends at Christmas!

I have made a BOM version of the Ruth RC3 body as I like the Hud on that version. I have made a shape that will work okie with the clothes in my store though some alpha is needed. hop://login.osgrid.org/Tropicana%20Lakes/600/286/70

Cumming Soon @ Club Nakkie !!!!! The fantasy rooms 8 rooms of taboo to strange atmospheres these rooms will spice up your next encounter surround the hottest orgy bar in Open Sim see you soon @ Club Nakkie

Likely the last new thing until after Christmas!
Long 100% original, legal mesh rigged braids. They come with the usual colour hud (Thank you, Susan von Otto!) but you can of course put any texture you'd like on them. Straight to the point, classic enough to go on modern contemporary outfits or some historical things. The braids, as you can see, do a very cool looking colour mixing thing if you have different streaks in. In the new year I may add compatibility for Susan's original two texture face version. I just haven't decided yet whether to make it "two colours, one for each braid split down the middle part" or "different streaks totally separate mixed together" or both.
Have fun, don't sell or put on SL or take all the credit for it.

More hair. This is non rigged because it's short enough to not need rigging...messy double buns with loose strands on the side. It has Suzan Von Otto's very generous hud, but for one face texture only to keep this style simple. 100% legal, original and not pirated mesh. Don't sell, don't put on SL, don't run around telling folks these are your creations.

Opensimworld is such a great resource for opensim - love it! The home page has so much useful info on it.
My request - could The Box be moved further down the page? Maybe swap with Events or Bookmarks? Just because more often than not The Box is so depressingly infantile and completely useless to anyone looking for information.

I would like to thank Priscilla Kleenex (from what-so-ever-grid) for her tireless efforts in finding faulty settings on our SIMs and bringing them to our attention. I could once more fix a couple of flying trees I had unintentionally made moveable when I wanted to make them copyable. Without the help of those voluntary security-testers like Mrs. Kleenex I would never have noticed.

Ich möchte Priscilla Kleenex (von what-so-ever-grid) für ihre unermüdlichen Bemühungen danken, fehlerhafte Einstellungen auf unseren SIMs zu finden und uns darauf aufmerksam zu machen. Ich konnte wieder einmal ein paar fliegende Bäume reparieren, die ich versehentlich beweglich gemacht hatte, als ich sie kopierbar machen wollte. Ohne die Hilfe dieser freiwilligen Sicherheitstester wie Frau Kleenex wäre mir das nie aufgefallen.

We're all used to OpenSim's standard rear camera angle. A camera that floats more than three and a half metres above the ground. But seriously, this camera angle has got a whole lot of issues.

Sure, it can be practical when building. But first of all, it requires buildings which are even more ridiculously out-of-scale than the avatars created by fresh Second Life converts. Otherwise, the camera would constantly bump into the ceiling or even clip through it.

Besides, it suggests that this is your eye level. You don't see the world from your avatar's point of view. 3.60m (12') doors with handles on actual eye level or even higher don't seem strange to you at all, nor do living-rooms with ceiling heights akin to cathedrals or chin-high handrails.

Last but not least, high-hovering cameras are so 2000s. Nowadays, "shoulder cams" at the same height as the character's eyes are all the rage in video games. And you can have them in OpenSim as well.

Here are two settings I've found to work well.

"Standard" shoulder view, right of centre:

Camera Offset:
X -0.700
Y -0.400
Z -0.300

After two weeks of waiting, I can announce the results of the competition.

The owner of a single network admitted that he was wrong and mistakenly placed a fake beacon. This network name is now hidden.
During these two weeks a new group is attacking the title and if I have time I will update the ranking soon.

You can see everything else in the comments and review ...
From charges of throwing a party on my sim where I've ridde ....... My sim is technically unable to throw parties. I will not comment on all of them.
I will only comment on the emanation of impudence and shamelessness:
The hard-working admins who work on their sim for 18 hours without a break...... Sitting, during this time they are visited by the well-known Priscilla, but they don't even get up... They use a steel version of viewer that does not block and allows them to work even lying down... I trust them :)
And finally they threaten me that they are like Google and they set the rules... I am dying of fear that I have attached screenshots.
Tremble, all of you! As of today, the OpenSim community has a new ruler….

(Picture with my sister on it because I didn't have anything else at hand...)

Yes, I know it isn't really beach season (unless you're on the Southern hemisphere or in some subtropic or tropic area). But on the other hand, if it's too cold to go to a real beach, there are plenty of virtual beaches where it isn't too cold.

Now, what I'd like to talk with you, the community, about is: What makes a good beach? What does a good beach need in your opinion?

Generally, from my point of view, a beach should be more than just eyecandy on a sim that serves another purpose (freebie shops, event location, welcome landing, whatever). A beach should serve its own purpose, namely the same purpose real-life beaches serve. And that purpose shouldn't only be sex either.

So there are certain things I expect from a beach. Fair warning ahead: I'm biased because I grew up between a whole lot of nice beaches, and I've been to quite a number.


First of all: It should be possible to go into the water. Possible, credibly so and not hazardous. The sand should slope into the water gently so you can actually walk out into the sea (or lake or whatever) just like you usually can in real life. This is such a basic demand that you may wonder why I mention it.

Well, in many cases, this isn't possible at all. Either you have textured ground which drops off steeply from one metre above the water surface to way below. Sand can't do that, and it renders the number one key element of a beach useless.

Or you have a beach made of mesh sections. But these pieces of mesh either only barely lead into the water, or the water-side edge lies on top of the water surface, and all that washes over them are the waves. You can't even walk into ankle-deep water without falling off the edge and seeing the large hollow underneath the mesh beach pieces. I guess this is often a case of a beach built by someone who spends so much time flying above their own sim that they've literally never set a single foot on their own beach.

So, either way, whether or not you build your beach out of mesh: Please let the sea ground slope away from the beach gently.

This, by the way, is also why springboards on beaches are non-sense. Unless you place them on piers where the water is deep enough.


Speaking of swimming: Swim rezzers.

They come either as a single white-and-blue life-saver (where you have to explain how a life-saver floating in the surf stays in place) or as two life-savers on a wooden pole (the more elegant solution). In case you don't know them: What they do when you click on them is rez another life-saver. You sit on it, it disappears, and you assume a swimming position, complete with swimming animations. You can steer yourself while swimming. You can swim like you walk, only that you swim. If you stand back up, the life-saver reappears. If you wait for long enough, it deletes itself. One swim rezzer can rez multiple of these life-savers.

Why do I deem them important? Because you may want to actually swim. And not stand in the water. Because that's what you do on beaches (in case you don't know because you've never been to one).

Some of you may confuse them with those old-style swim balls. They're basically poseballs for swimming: You sit on them, and you swim back and forth, back and forth, and you can't control where you swim. But seriously, 2011 called, it wants its OpenSim 0.7.3 tech level back. Poseballs may still have their places, but this isn't one anymore.


Now comes something that may not be interesting unless you "play it real" like me: What do you do after you've been in the water? Lay down on a lounger or a towel?

Nope.

When I was a kid, we were taught by the adults to take off our wet swimwear and slip into something dry ASAP. Real life isn't Hollywood where your swim trunks or your swimsuit is dry the instance you come out of the water (or after the next cut). Nope, it's wet and clingy and getting cold, no matter how hot the weather is. So I'd like to have a chance to do that on a virtual beach as well.

Now, either the sim is Adult-rated which usually (but sadly not all of the time) means that nudity is allowed. Or it's Moderate-rated, and nudity is allowed (but sex isn't), whether or not it's mentioned. Or you don't really "play it real" (layer clothes: replace your swimwear directly with something new; mesh: put on your new swimwear, wear two sets clipping through each other for a few seconds, then take off your old swimwear, or replace one full swimwear outfit with another one in one go).

Or you do "play it real", but you can't be naked in public, so you have to hide. The same goes for when you arrive on a beach in street clothes with no swimwear underneath, by the way.

Ideally, the beach provides changing cabins (with scripted doors, not just static decorational dummies!). If not, there should be something that you can go behind to change. This something should be a) placed in such a way and large enough that it's hard to look behind it (camming or intentionally walking in notwithstanding), b) large and opaque enough that it actually covers you up (knee-high shrubbery isn't) and c) arranged in such a way that you can easily walk behind it and back out (a 100-metre-long hedge isn't; a long dune is if it's tall enough because you can walk over it).


As for other things, there should be a difference between "natural" beaches and other beaches.

If a beach is "natural", there shouldn't be any more facilities. Maybe a few beach towels for convenience (and plants to change behind unless you're allowed to be naked), or rezzing should be allowed so that people can place their own towels.

Everything else should be left to beaches which are officially run by someone, but then it should be there. Loungers. Beach showers or even full facilities. Changing cabins if necessary (see above). A bar or two (a halfway credible beach would have more swim rezzers than beach bars, though). Ideally a place to get something to eat. Lifeguard chairs. (The latter three work even better with appropriately-dressed NPCs giving life to them.) Shops and a party area with a dance floor and a permanently installed DJ set don't belong on "natural" beaches either.

On the one hand, a fully stocked beach bar one some remote secluded beach island that doesn't even have a landing pier doesn't make any sense. On the other hand, a beach that's otherwise so fully equipped as though it's right in front of a resort hotel is kind of incomplete if you can't get anything to drink.


A few more things concerning the above: Please, dear beach builders, if you place down furniture such as loungers or towels, sit on them. Can you sit on them properly? If you can't, do away with them because they're just a waste of space and prim capacity. It doesn't matter if you have never sat down on furniture, and you never will. Other people do, believe it or not, they do.

As an extra precaution: If the sim isn't Adult-rated, and the furniture has a menu, look at it. If there's anything sex-related, either replace the furniture with something without sex animations or edit them out.

Also, inflatable, floating items only make sense in pools. If you place a pool floater or a bouncy island in the surf in real life, it will be carried away unless you anchor it very thoroughly. And none of the floating items on the Hypergrid looks like it's anchored at all. So no floaties in the ocean surf.


Last but not least: The "dress code" on the beach (and in the surrounding areas) should be clear, and visitors should be informed about it both in-world and on OSW if the sim is entered there. Textile? Clothing optional? Nude? It's nigh-impossible to safely assume from the rating (or from the culture wherever the builder lives). Adult may mean a full-blown nudist "piggy beach" of which there are dozens just as well as a textile beach on a sim that allows nudity only in one small and well-concealed nook with one piece of sex furniture. And even Moderate may or may not allow for nudity.

Welcome to the Nautilus Turtle Bay Swingers Club !
This is a clothing optional Beach and Dance area for adult nude enthusiasts. Dress Code is Nude or Beach Wear. ADULT ONLY PLEASE.

I wish to take a moment to Thank those who endear themselves to the term Griefers, :) .
I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to those called the lowlifes and losers, those often compared to the scummy dross of life. To those who keep demanding my attention daily with repeated attempts to upset the Metaverselife grid performance, Thank You, For It Is You Who have given me the gift of Knowledge. If it were not for the Griefers,.. I would think I was doing something right.. If not for the Griefers,..

My 2022 Christmas gift for the community, at least for the Ruth2 v4 users:

Nail polish for Ruth2 v4.

Two boxes with BoM nail polish in 31 colours altogether. One box contains the 22 original colours from the Ruth 2.0 nail polish applier plus one bonus colour. The other one contains the 8 nail polish colours from the Ruth2 v4 HUD, but now covering the whole nail. Both sets come with a Readme notecard with instructions.

They're currently only available in the Westend (https://opensimworld.com/hop/80119) at my R2 shop (at 44/67/22, opposite the Statue of Liberty), but I've passed copies to Ai Austin, and I expect it to appear on the official R2 sim soon. I'll also roll them out to other sims offering Ruth2 v4.

Both boxes are full-perm (or should be; drop me a note if they aren't) and licensed under Creative Commons CC0. You can copy the boxes or buy the content.

Anyone else thinking this could be a use case for OpenSim? A Tuvalu Grid?

Tuvalu is 9 islands with 10 square kilometres altogether. In raw land mass, that'd be 10 4x4 varsims which is almost laughable. Even if you remap this to Tuvalu's actual topography, that'd be not only still considerably smaller than Wolf Territories, but mostly sailable water.

In fact, this begs for SFsail. Also, lots of tropical beaches = potential surf spots. Nothing that hasn't been done before.

Not to mention that OpenSim has vastly better graphics than everything else that labels itself "metaverse" nowadays.

I guess most other in-world assets such as buildings would be scratch-made, although creators like Bibiana Bombinante could provide some decoration.

Die Pfalz ist wieder zurück, entgegen aller Hater, Neider und Umstäden die uns Zerstören Wollten, die Pfalz stirb nicht so schnell. Wie gewohnt mit Shop´s, FKK Strand und vielem zu Entdecken, Mietshäuser kommen auch wieder sind zur zeit in Planung
The Pfalz is back again, contrary to all haters, envious and circumstances who wanted to destroy us, the Pfalz does not die so quickly. As usual with shop ́s, naturism beach and much to discover, apartment buildings are coming again are currently in planning

Have you ever stood in front of those Ruth2 v4 or Roth2 v2 boxed and wondered which one of them you actually need? Well, the labels on these boxes aren't as self-explanatory as they try to be. So before you go home with boxes that you don't even need, I'd like to help you with shopping guides.

The first one is for guys and therefore for Roth2 v2.

So the confusion starts with the bodies themselves. There seem to be two of them, one with a red "BoM" label, one with a blue "0.8.2.1" label. What's up with these?

The "BoM" body is the regular, fully-featured one. The one labeled "0.8.2.1" is the same body with the same BoM and Bento capabilities, but with reduced scripts in order to be compatible with OpenSim back to version 0.8.2.1; the one labeled "BoM" is only guaranteed to work under OpenSim 0.9.1 and newer.

This is also why the "BoM" body comes with a three-page HUD whereas the "0.8.2.1" body doesn't, and it can't be controlled via the regular body's HUD. This means no alpha HUD (which is near-useless and unnecessary in BoM mode anyway), no hand controls and no turning BoM off or changing the alpha mode. On the plus side, it comes with its own pair of Ferd Frederix elf ears.

Otherwise, the box contents are identical. You get the body, BoM-capable mesh eyeballs, one classic/BoM skin, one pair of classic/BoM eyes, one bald hairbase, one shape and a pair of dark grey layer underwear that can be changed in shape. It's basically all you need to start as the body already comes with a head, but you'll probably want more.

Which brings us to the grey boxes with the "R" on them.

The Extras box is the most important one for end users, for it may contain the "more" you want. First of all, it contains the body in various "chunk sizes": the whole body without the head, only the body, head, head with neck extension, hands and feet. Next, we have an alternative shape, namely that from Roth2 v1, previously known as Roth 2.0 RC#1. There are also a whole of eleven skins including a blank one and the one that comes with the bodies, the underwear top as a jacket, Ferd Frederix' elf ears, unisex biker hair in two colours and four different alpha layers for hiding parts of the body (you'll need these as soon as you want to turn BoM off).

The Extras box is definitely worth looking at; whether what you'll find is useful for you is up to you.

The Skins box contains the very same skins you'll find in the Extras box. However, it doesn't only contain the wearable skins for BoM. It also contains five textures per skin, two of which are meant as thumbnails for the HUD. If you've found one of the skins from the Extras box to your liking, these textures make it possible to use that skin with BoM turned off by adding it to your HUD (unless that particular skin is already on the HUD).

The other two boxes are rather special. The Resources box has the Skins box already included. On top of that, it contains the box art, the textures used on the HUD, the Ada Radius eyes that you can select on the HUD, but as wearable classic eyes (one of the reasons to get the box unless you've found better eyes elsewhere), and an underwear box that contains a pair of briefs not found in any of the previously mentioned boxes (the other reason to get this box).

The Mesh Uploads box is of no use for end users. It may be interesting for those who want to make clothes or other accessories, for it contains the various raw and unscripted meshes. Even then, you'll probably also want to take a look at the Github repository as well.

That said, if you really want to get the best out of Roth2 v2, look for third-party content. Not only will you need flexi or mesh hair since Roth2 v2 only comes with one hairstyle which is even only available in the Extras box, but you're likely to find much better-looking skins elsewhere. Don't worry, Roth2 v2 is textured in such a way that classic skins made for "duck feet" should work perfectly well on it.

Places to go for accessories for Roth2 v2 include:
Klamotto (https://opensimworld.com/hop/78282; caution, this place doesn't support BoM, so I suggest you go there first and take everything with you that you think you may need, including make-up from Deva Moda in case you consider going androgynous at some point)
Astralia ShoppingCity (https://opensimworld.com/hop/85405)
La Tortuga (https://opensimworld.com/hop/76639; there's much more to find for women than for men, but it offers the only pair of swim trunks that works on Roth2 v2 if you absolutely insist in having a bulge, and it saves you a trip to an old Linda Kellie mall because it also offers Linda's pre-Clutterfly stuff in boxes)

And if you still need the body and the grey boxes, there are various places where to get them, for example:
Shopping Village (https://opensimworld.com/hop/86910)

Klarabella Karamell is at it again. And still dissatisfied with the skirts available on the Hypergrid. So she's making new ones.

Juno is combining them with Klara's own skirt textures. Here she is testing one in combination with a Damien Fate/Klarabella Karamell jacket, a Beth Ghostraven top, Masaki Shinomiya tights, LyAvain Swansong boots and a Neo Cortex pearl necklace.

Autumn is colourful, but it's also chilly. You can't (or shouldn't) bare as much skin as you still could in summer. On the other hand, there are nice things that you can wear now such as these beautiful classic layer tights by Morgaine Alter (12th House Designs) with autumn leaf print. Places where you can find them include the mixed freebie stores at Wright Plaza (https://opensimworld.com/hop/75040) and Sunny Paradise Mall (https://opensimworld.com/hop/76916; don't worry, it's online).

Juno is wearing them with a knit sweater/miniskirt combination from Shinobar Annex (https://opensimworld.com/hop/82007), a necklace by Taarna Welles which is part of the same knit dress/ensemble box and boots by Klarabella Karamell, available at Bella Klara (https://opensimworld.com/hop/81258).

By the way, the picture has been taken at The Fall (https://opensimworld.com/hop/87371).
