Honored to participate in the Opensim Worlds Fair this year :-) I have two areas: parcel 10 - Lunaria Emporium which is a sim-sized area, and a display in the tech area talking about pbr. Hope to see you there :-)

Here's the hop: hop://grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/OpenSim%20Worlds%20Fai...

Exciting changes are coming to Home and Gardens! Not only will we have stunning historical homes powered by Bullet physics, but an entire region showcasing some of the finest and freshest properties in the Ubode Physics realm. We've also given H&G Furniture a complete overhaul, with a wealth of brand-new items that will make it easier than ever to find what you're looking for.

All three regions will have their own dedicated beacons, so you can easily navigate to the areas that interest you most. This massive undertaking has been months in the making, and I'm thrilled to finally unveil the new and improved Home and Gardens and H&G Furniture this Tuesday, March 4th at 9am grid time.

These homes are for your personal enjoyment only - no god-modding or unauthorized redistribution allowed. I work tirelessly for the people of the Open Sim, not for any individual grid. I can't wait for you all to experience the incredible transformation we've achieved!

Because we're all about the food at Birch Grove Spring! I made/arranged (a clever person at Sketchfab named Moonlian actually made the waffles) some waffles...lol. In Norma's Diner by the Train station if anyone's wishing for some.

Brrrr lots of goings-on in opensim right now! Need a breather from the asset frenzy? Get yourself a cuppa, here are a few recent posts from the HG Safari blog *caution may contain eye candy*

Each year, we do a multi language conference to celebrate all that's good, challenging, and fun about Opensim. This year it will be April 5 and 6... more about that in coming weeks! Along with the speakers and art events in several languages, most of you probably know there's also a big Expo park that opens before the event so you can explore and learn about your fellow opensimmers. Everyone can make a booth for this expo - the deadline of Jan 31 but let Thirza know if you're running late, we'll save you a space!
Many of you (like Bloom Peters, her booth show in in the photo) have already modded the basic Expo Booth, and passed it to Thirza on OSGrid for placement in the park, but if you haven't done so yet, don't delay!
You can get the basic booth at the landing area on HIE region, and there are explainer videos in a bunch of languages at https://www.youtube.com/@hieexpo

It's with a heavy heart I announce the closure of the Hub Grid.

It was never one of those 'popular' Grids, and nor is the E Grid, but I like to think a few held it in a special sense :) We may not have been popular or well visited, or featured on the Safari or anything like that, but we enjoyed what we had. Sadly the funds are no longer there to finance the hosted Grid, so it will be shutting its doors, so to speak, immediately.

The E Grid will remain available for its rentals and may continue to offer new rentals.

If you are renting there, be sure you are wearing the Residents tag to visit your home.

Most of the E Grid will now be private, all that is not rentals.

While I am sad to announce the Hub going dark, I want to shout out to Masala Estates for their wonderful hosting and recommend them very very highly to anyone!

I am myself going on Hiatus here for an extended time. Life has changed for me and not in a negative way, but still changed. I will check from time to time, and want to thank those of you who visited our regions, for all your support. You truly made it worthwhile to stick around :)

Lange hat es gedauert aber der Druck wurde immer größer.....JA OK...ich mache es nochmal 🙂

Ihr seit ALLE eingeladen zu dieser Einzigartigen Party im TOSCA

p.s. Gäste mit evtl Hörschäden bitte Ohrstöpsel mitbringen 😉

View from our Penthouse Apartment on Park Avenue over Central Park. We can see from balcony the UFO over little New Jersey. wow. The Central Park alone is 3x1 big. Whole sim is 7x7 and with off sim mountains etc 8x8. You can do a lot of things in Central Park. Swim in lake, Windsurf, riding horses, go on Concert at the Central Park stage, gather to play chess ... and much more. Like you do in Central Park in New York City too. lol If you put on sunset or midnight environment it is the right ambient to enjoy and it is enough light everywhere. If you want some worrying scary scenes you can use the shared environment with fog lol Of course, most people use midday environment. But ambient is not the same then to enjoy all the different aspects to feel the sim alive with all the people and traffic. For videos you should look on my rumble account. I posted there more than 50 videos. Perhaps it is recommended for people with old computer to see all alive. My videos you can find here on 3 pages. Most are 1080 pt videos recorded with my MacBook.

I have various circlets and tiaras created at the back of the store by the wedding rings. I was asked to create these when I first started creating jewelry and have loved them ever since; these are always so fun to create and look pretty when worn. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry
Circlet is created using RhinoGold/Matrix Gold Software.

Firstly "Happy New Year" everybody!

zetaworld grid automatically logs out any hypergridders from dynamic dns grids from visiting them (SUPER RUDE ZETA!), so in return I've done the same, so if zetaworld residents get logged out when hypergridding to "http://snik.loseyourip.com:8002:home of merci" then that will be the reason why.

I'm more than happy to reverse my decision, assuming zetaworld does the same :)

I'm trying to be a more positive, encouraging, creative and empathic individual, but currently I'm struggling. I'll do my very best to do better in future. :)

Always happy to share grid admin tips along with general opensim support and help, generally, I don't bite, unless you do :)

Weihnachtliche Vormusik gibts wieder ab 19:30 zu hören. Schnappt Euch Glühpunsch und setzt Euch auf die Kissen ins gut beheizte Märchenzelt und hört ein wenig zu. Wir freuen uns auf Euch alle.

On Sunday, December 15th, there will be the next Advent reading with Rubeus Helgerud. From 8:00 p.m. there will be a Christmas atmosphere in the fairy tale tent at Dorena's Christmas market

dorenas-world.de:8002:Christmas market

Christmas pre-music will be heard again from 7:30 p.m. Grab some mulled punch and sit on the cushions in the well-heated fairy tale tent and listen for a while. We look forward to seeing you all.

I woke up to a message from @Ferdzee casually saying, "Oh, by the way, your grid now supports PBR." Wait, WHAT? PBR? You mean DG has PBR now? Yep! Shiny, beautiful gold—Yay! Over time, I'll be updating all my jewelry. It’ll take a while, but the future is looking golden and brilliant! Dreamgrid 5.9 is PBR! Time to update your FS viewers people :) Thank you @Ferdzee you are my Hero!! Yayy

The excitement of turning a dream into reality. It begins as a spark of imagination, a vivid mental picture of a breathtaking world—perhaps a misty mountain range, an alien landscape, or a bustling medieval city. This dream is like the first stroke of inspiration for an artist.

When you start building, the blank OpenSim region becomes your canvas, a digital palette where each prim, texture, and script is a brushstroke. The process is exhilarating as you shape the terrain, paint the sky with colors and clouds, and breathe life into your vision. You sculpt cliffs, plant forests, and carve rivers, adding details that make your world not just beautiful but immersive.

What makes OpenSim even more thrilling is its ability to provide massive land sizes without the prohibitive costs of other virtual platforms like Second Life. The expansive landscapes give creators room to explore their wildest ideas, unburdened by financial constraints. This freedom fuels creativity, allowing for sprawling builds that are limited only by the creator’s imagination.

There's also a sense of discovery as the imagined meets the possible. You experiment with elements—adjusting lighting for a perfect sunset, scripting interactive elements, or adding soundscapes that make the environment hum with life. The joy of creation is heightened when the imagined dream surpasses your expectations and becomes a place where others can explore, share, and marvel.

Building in OpenSim is not just crafting pixels; it’s the act of creation in its purest form—a thrilling dance between imagination and realization, where the limits are only bound by the extent of your dreams.

This is an excellent place to start:
