I would like to address some people's questions about why they can't access my store or are banned.
There may be various reasons for this. For one thing, your grid is or has been blocked by OSGrid, or you are a HG Blocked User...but I think the main reason is that you simply took my stuff and offered it for sale under your name on your grid or store without asking me or my permission. You were even so cheeky that you altered the images that normally bear my logo. To get to the point... I'm sick of risking my ass for those people and investing my time so that they can take credit for other people's work!!! Even if you keep trying to come up with ALTs, your ass will be banned, as some have found out in the last few days. So keep your ass to yourself on the grids, get something going of your own, but don't think I'm a stupid little noodle. I'm better skilled than you can ever imagine, and I'll catch you again and again.
and by the way...you have a Mouth and can ask before you just grab others Works!!

It's the summer here and so HG Safari is on break until September 3. But the Safari blog continues, and here are a few recent posts you may enjoy.

Hey lovely people! Just wanted to give a heads up that is getting veeery busy at work at the moment, in case you see me a bit less active around! Layoff season so...having to do double!
Also last sets I am bringing are much more complex on hudding, blending, masking, which take more time...
Huuugs!

I received the message today that the grid where my store is located will be closing its doors on June 30th, 2025. Now I think it's time to finally end my work for the OS. After several restarts on different grids, I'm tired of starting over again and again. With that in mind, I'm saying goodbye with a tear in my eye and a smile. I wish all my friends continued fun in OS. Maybe we'll see each other again sometime.

New!!!!

LETS SPREAD POSITIVITY NOT HATE!

Lately I have noticed a lot of drama, hate and bashing towards other people. I try to ignore most of it but lately it has become to much. Why do people feel the need to use hateful words or put someone down.

No matter what religion we are, gender, political views or whatever it is, cant we just agree to disagree.

I have seen a lot of people in my time in Opensim do amazing things, anyone that can DJ, build, script and anything else, is awesome to me. For the ones that constantly tell everyone they are awesome its because they are. They do a lot of things i do not know how to do or cant.

So in conclusion, I would like to say thank you to all creators, builders, scripters, and etc, because without all of you, my regions wouldn't look as good as they do. I may take things and place them and put them together but the credits go to the creators, builders and scripters.

Instead of name calling and tearing people down, lets be a little kinder, lets ignore the negative and worry more about spreading positivity.

Comment's welcome but please be kind :)

Mein geliebtes Weib, meine Siwas
Ich will versuchen dir nur zu versprechen was ich auch halten kann.
Ich kann dir die Welt nicht zu Füssen legen, sie gehört mir nicht.
Ich werde dir keine Sterne mehr vom Himmel holen denn das habe ich schon und du hast deinen Stern.
Ich habe damals gesagt dieser Stern soll dich beschützen und über unsere Liebe wachen. Das hat er getan und uns nach unserer Trennung wieder zusammengeführt.
Vielleicht merkt man erst bei einer Trennung was man wirklich verloren hat.
Wir sind wieder zusammen und nun will ich dich endgültig als meine Frau und werde alles tun dass wir zusammen glücklich sind und unsere Liebe für immer bleibt.
Siwas, du warst immer, du bist und du bleibst für immer mein Baby,

Upgraded the horse rezzer script from the popular NPC horse rezzer to an "All-in-One" Animesh Horse Rezzer, with a load of features in the animesh horse.
Tip: to avoid the horse from dying, remove the "animesh horse rez" script, and have it roam around an area of your region or parcel, follow other horses, and other options.

One of the major benefits of the animesh horse is that it can cross regions (if allowed by the sim owner).
When you own the animesh horse, you can wear it an teleport around.

After being asked several times whether I'd rebuild the old Yin Yang Town, and saying no, I've now decided to box up EVERYTHING that was once in YYT and make it available to you for free. For this purpose, I created the YYT Marketplace. I'll gradually put everything there as I find it again; the first items are already available.
You can find the teleport to the YYT MP in the CCC Main Store.

This road is an old favorite, that we all know... and we’ve brought back the best version yet!
Now with flawless resolution, if you zoom out far enough, the sim will vanish before the road does! So no more excuses like “I couldn’t find the path…” 😉

Dirt Road is a fully customizable path with a built-in texture menu.
Just click it to open the menu and choose from various road styles.
Optional side rocks can be toggled on or off.

It works perfectly with your existing landscape.
Two versions: one with terrain edge textures, and another alpha version that shows only the road.
Both include straight and curved sections.

No extra HUD needed – everything is built into the object!

Hello, I try to participate by mixing the useful with the pleasant, I wanted to make a gallery of people on Opensim, and I opted for a gallery on Flickr, more easily consultable. For this I need the help of all those who want to participate, without your help, the project will fail because it is about the people of Opensim. I take the photos, I try to capture something special in each of you, if you like it, and to bring out the image of a community in black and white, you have to come into the world to see the colors. Here is the beginning of the gallery. Thank you for your attention, friendly. Send me a message here or in world to help me and dont be shy :)

Thanks and apologies to all who are there to help me always ♥

This is now starting my 15th year of trying to improve Opensim with the DreamWorld and DreamGrid systems. I haven't done an OSCC talk for several years so I thought I'd give a quick review of some Opensim stats that I track. This data is based on anonymous data from the DNS servers ns1.outworldz.com and ns2.outworldz.com and the publicity checkbox, which generates XML for the https://outworldz.com/search function. I am also able to count some stats from known 'other' grids via a web crawler that runs hourly scans.

There are now 259 free OARs, and that includes 63 exclusive regions for DreamGrid owners. I licensed these from the creators, and collections are copyrightable. The most popular Public OARS are at https://outworldz.com/cgi/freesculpts.plx?q=OAR- and sorted by popularity are IARS at https://outworldz.com/cgi/freesculpts.plx?q=IAR- I have many more to upload still.

I do not have access to any of your assets, backups, OARS, IARS, or any personal data. My servers periodically crawl the web looking for Opensim servers from publicly available sources such as my visitor lists, the data I publish and from Hypergrid Business.

DreamGrid goes back to 2011, when it was called DreamWorld. I didn't always track much back then and periodically flushed the database. Since 2018 (6 years) , there have been 5,180 distinct DreamGrid instances. People created 12,280 different grids with it. and 3,378 were online in 2024. In that same time period of six years, I've located 2,935 standard grids. In 2024 alone, there were 2,762 unique DreamGrids online.

Sl has 18,326 private estates, which are equivalent to the 12,334 regions in Dreamgrid. However, we have much larger regions, the equivalent of 73,341 SL regions. An SL region costs $349 to set up, and $209 a month to rent (not own). The first year, one region costs $2,857, the second year $2508.

When you compare DreamGrid with the SL private estates, we've collectively saved $209,535,237 in the first year, and $183,939,228 per year after that.

**1 Year Anniversary of Starchild Shoppe: NEW LOCATION!**
1 year ago Starchild Shoppe opened its doors with a single furniture store. Since then it has expanded beyond what I could have imagined! I want to thank every single person who has crossed its door and has taken the time to thank the effort behind!
I have also heard your feedback, it is why I have consolidated all the stores into their own region with a central store (beauty) at ground, and then skyboxes reachable via the TP board. Super special thanks to Shan Naggins for making it happen! What was going to be just one new store, ended up being an entire mall set up with much more room for growth!

Sim crossing over 4 var regions with followers works extremely well IF you cross calmly and keep your objects close.
