Dear community members, visitors, and customers,

recently, allegations have been made on external platforms regarding an individual associated with our broader environment. These claims originate outside of Noozara RP and outside our operational scope.

We would like to clarify the following:

Noozara RP and its associated shops stand for respectful collaboration, creative roleplay, and professional conduct across all OpenSim grids.
At this time, we are not aware of any verified evidence indicating rule violations, illegal activities, or misconduct connected to our project, our team, or our commercial activities.

External disputes, personal conflicts, or unsubstantiated accusations published elsewhere are not part of Noozara RP, nor do they reflect our values, standards, or way of working.

We remain committed to transparency, fair interaction, and maintaining a safe and trustworthy environment for roleplay participants, partners, and customers alike.

Should you have questions or concerns, we invite you to contact us directly and respectfully, rather than relying on third-party statements or public speculation.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Noozara RP – Management

Step into 2026 and Join us for 2 hours of awesome tunes and great chat with the brilliant DJ Jon Temple, spinning the sounds that will carry you straight into 2026.

🎧Great tunes and your requests and dedications
💬 Enjoy the chat
🌃 Experience one of London City’s most fabulous clubs

So come and join us at the fabulous MYYST Club and make your step into 2026 unforgettable.

@everyone 2026 has begun and its time to get to planning OSFest 2026 - yes we are starting early 😉 Tentative dates are October 9, 2026 thru October 24, 2026. Our primary goal is to have 65% events on other grids and 35% on the OSFest grid.

Choosing our theme is the next step so I created a ranked choice bot we can use to narrow choices without people "bandwagoning" or seeing spoilers. Each poll we vote on is limited to 5 choices so we will be running more than one ranked choice poll to help us rank suggested themes. When you vote, (ranking your choices), assign a number from 1 to 5 to each choice where the best choice is 5 and the worst choice is 1. So far we have the following suggestions:

Into the Future
Into the Past
Alternate Timelines
Change the World
Ancient Myths
Nautical
Ships (Air, Land, and Sea)
Architecture
Science Fiction
Futuristic Living
Fantasy
Supernatural
Mysteries and Monsters
Color (Single color per exhibit)
Physically based rendering (PBR)

Do we want to have more than one theme? Are there any more suggestions before I create the polls in the polling-channel?

2026: Learn to Create—Because Ideas Deserve to Exist

This piece began as a drawing. Lines on a screen. Nothing fancy—until those lines were extruded, shaped, and turned into something real. That moment never gets old.

I create jewelry by turning drawings into dimensional forms, and I share the how through tutorials because creation shouldn’t be a mystery reserved for a few. If you can imagine it, you can learn to build it.

My journey started in OpenSim, creating virtual jewelry people could wear in-world before ever buying it in real life. That experiment turned into something bigger: a virtual jewelry store that’s open 24/7, showcasing years of designs, iterations, failures, breakthroughs, and finished pieces. It’s a living archive of creative growth.

Here’s the truth:
There is nothing quite like seeing an idea move from your mind, to a sketch, to a finished object you can hold—or wear. That spark when it finally clicks? That’s the reward.

So for 2026, my message to the community is simple:

Learn something new

Make something with your hands (digital or physical—both count)

Share what you learn

Inspire the next creator behind you

You don’t need permission to create. You just need curiosity and the willingness to try.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could make that,”—this is your year. Start drawing. Start modeling. Start learning.

Ideas are patient. They’ll wait.
But the joy comes when you finally bring them to life. 🌹

i'm back from the holiday rush and i started working on my Japanese Expansion of VivoSim. I have redesigned the scripts in the Kurumi Tree (walnut) to provide both walnuts and the timber byproducts!

Kurumi Tree (SF Kurumi)
VivoSim Japanese Expansion

🌰 Primary Use
SF Kurumi (Walnuts) are harvested once per growth cycle and may be used in:

Savory dishes, Sweets and desserts, Sauces and pastes, Traditional medicines (such as Kurumi Aburagusuri for pain relief) & Offerings and gifts to Temples

🌿 Natural By-Products
As the tree grows, it also produces secondary materials that reflect real orchard behavior: SF Ha – Leaves, SF Shijo – Twigs, SF Eda – Branches, SF Ki – Wood, SF Maki – Firewood

🌳 Design Philosophy
The Kurumi Tree is a dual-output orchard tree, not a timber source, but does deliver wood from time to time

⏳ Growth & Care
Growth occurs over a multi-day seasonal cycle
Water is required throughout the cycle
Neglecting water will pause progress
This tree is designed to be checked periodically, not constantly
Automation options may be enabled at the owner’s discretion, but manual care is encouraged for immersion.


🧩 Japanese Ingredient Set
To support Japanese recipes and naming conventions, the following replacements are used: SF Kurumi → Walnuts

All names align with Japanese-themed recipes and future expansion content.

🛠️ Technical Notes (for Advanced Users)
This tree includes internal configuration and scripting changes to support Japanese ingredients and orchard behavior. These changes are already applied and require no modification for normal use.

🌸 Thank you for supporting the VivoSim Japanese Expansion.

NORGE rebuilt with terraformed mountains (*) on this vast 8x8 var region - I confess I've never liked much the effect of it, tried many times then I kept building with mesh mountains for years.. and now once more, I tried and finally liked what I see.
Old SIM was great but I lost a lot of space. Now, one can actually "use" the mountains". So I`m starting slowly building trails to one go around.

Allow me to introduce the forum troll

The forum troll deliberately tries to cause conflict by posting provocative or derogatory comments. Their goal is to annoy others and/or provoke angry counter-comments.

How do you get rid of a forum troll?

- Report the troll to the forum operator

Only a forum administrator can ensure that an account can no longer post anything on their forum. Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to permanently keep them off a website through administrative measures. The forum troll is skilled at hiding behind one or more pseudonyms. Persistent trolls protect their true identities by concealing their IP address or using a proxy server.

Forum trolls thrive on any kind of attention they receive. Whether it's polite requests, threats of consequences, or counter-insults, any reaction from another person serves as fuel for the troll and encourages them to continue their disrespectful behavior.

What should you do if the troll cannot be permanently banned by the forum operator? The most important measure is:

“Don't feed the troll!”

Since every response, every comment, and every mention of their name is food for the troll (and permanent banning by website operators is difficult), the only way to get rid of the troll is to “starve” them, i.e.:

- Ignore the troll.
No matter how provocative and offensive they may become, show them NO REACTION. Remain silent! No matter how difficult it may be when you are personally attacked verbally, the troll MUST have a reaction in order to continue. Persistent trolls are like junkies going through withdrawal: at first, they will become even louder and more offensive in order to provoke a reaction.

- Mute the troll.
Constant, recurring insults are stressful for any normal person, even if you don't respond to them. Most forums offer a “block” function so that certain people can no longer contact you. Use this option and block the troll. Unfortunately, with persistent trolls who change accounts, you have to repeat this process over and over again, but eventually... eventually, your silence will wear the troll down to the point where they give up and look for another place to vent.

- Together we are strongest!
It is nerve-wracking to be repeatedly targeted by a troll. Many trolls are highly manipulative. They like to portray themselves publicly as victims and/or try to get other members to take their side. That is why it is important for the entire forum community to stand united against the troll by collectively ignoring this person.

Always remember: every single word, every mention of their name, every reaction is the fuel that keeps the forum troll alive. If just one person throws the troll a piece of bait in the form of a reaction, they immediately draw energy from it to continue...

There are so many better things you can do in your free time than waste precious time on trolls. So do what makes you happy and have fun instead of letting bored people bring anger and sadness into your life!!!

p.s.: Comments for this post are not useful. Why? Some of you will find this post helpful, others will probably find it stupid. But as already mentioned: every comment pleases and feeds the troll – and I personally would rather starve the troll than allow it to have fun at my expense...

Gestatten, der Forentroll

Der Forentroll versucht absichtlich durch Beleidigungen Konflikte zu verursachen, indem er provokative oder abfällige Kommentare veröffentlicht. Sein Ziel ist es, andere zu verärgern und/oder wütende Gegenkommentare zu provozieren.

Wie wird man einen Forentroll wieder los?

Meldet den Troll beim Forenbetreiber

Nur ein Forenadmin kann dafür sorgen, dass ein Account nichts mehr in dessen Forum schreiben kann. Es ist leider ziemlich schwer ihn durch administrative Maßnahmen dauerhaft von einer Webseite fernzuhalten. Der Forentroll versteht es geschickt, sich hinter einem oder mehreren Pseudonymen zu verstecken. Hartnäckige Trolle schützen ihre wahren Identitäten durch Verschleiern ihrer IP-Adresse oder durch Nutzen eines Proxyservers.

Der Forentroll lebt von jeder Art der Aufmerksamkeit, die man ihm gibt. Egal ob höfliches Bitten, Androhung von Konsequenzen oder Gegenbeleidigungen - jegliche Reaktion einer anderen Person dient dem Troll als Nahrung und bestärkt ihn darin, mit seinem respektlosen Treiben weiterzumachen.

Was tun, wenn sich der Troll vom Forenbetreiber nicht auf dauerhaft fernhalten lässt? Die wichtigste Regel lautet:


"Füttere nicht den Troll!"

Da jede Antwort, jeder Kommentar und jede Erwähnung seines Namens Futter für den Troll bedeuten (und dauerhaftes Bannen durch Webseitenbetreiber nur schwer möglich ist), kann man den Troll tatsächlich nur loswerden, indem man ihn "aushungert", das heißt:

- Ignoriert den Troll
Egal wie provokativ und beleidigend er auch werden mag, zeigt ihm KEINE REAKTION. Schweigt euch aus! Egal wie schwer es auch ist, wenn man persönlich verbal angegriffen wird- der Troll MUSS eine Reaktion haben, um sein weitermachen zu können. Hartnäckige Trolle sind wie Junkies auf Entzug: sie werden zunächst noch lauter und beleidigender werden, um doch noch eine Reaktion zu provozieren.

- Schaltet den Troll stumm
Jeden normalen Menschen belasten ständige widerkehrende Beschimpfungen, auch wenn man nicht darauf eingeht. Die meisten Foren bieten eine "Blockierfunktion" an, so dass einen bestimmte Personen nicht mehr kontaktieren können. Nutzt diese Möglichkeit und blockiert den Troll. Bei hartnäckigen Trollen mit wechselnden Accounts muss man das leider immer neu wiederholen, aber irgendwann ... irgendwann habt ihr den Troll durch euer Schweigen soweit, dass er aufgibt und sich einen anderen Ort zum Austoben sucht.

- Gemeinsam sind wir am stärksten!
Es ist nervenaufreibend immer wieder Opfer eines Trolls zu sein. Viele Trolle sind stark manipulativ. Sie stellen sich gern selbst öffentlich als Opfer dar und/oder versuchen andere Mitglieder auf ihre Seite zu ziehen. Deswegen ist es wichtig, dass sich möglichst die ganze Forengemeinschaft geschlossen gegen den Troll stellt: durch gemeinschaftliches Ignorieren dieser Person.

Denkt immer daran: jedes einzelne Wort, jede Erwähnung seines Namens, jede Reaktion ist die Nahrung, die den Forentroll am Leben hält. Wirft nur eine einzige Person dem Troll ein Stückchen Futter in Form einer Reaktion zu, zieht er daraus sofort Energie um weiterzumachen.....

Es gibt soviel Schöneres, was ihr in eurer Freizeit tun könnt, als wertvolle Lebenszeit an den Troll zu verschwenden. Also macht das, was euch Freude macht, und habt Spaß anstatt Wut und Traurigkeit von einem gelangweilten Menschen in euer Leben bringen zu lassen!!!

p.s.: Die Kommentare für diesen Beitrag sind nicht nützlich. Warum? Manche von euch werden diesen Beitrag hilfreich finden, andere finden ihn vermutlich blöd. Aber wie schon erwähnt: jeder Kommentar erfreut und ernährt den Troll - und ich persönlich möchte den Troll lieber aushungern, anstatt zuzulassen, dass er sich auf meine Kosten einen Spaß macht...

Überarbeitete Sound Vendoren in der "Sound Machine"

Nachdem die Original Sound Vendoren, die ich vor ein paar Jahren von einem Freund geschenkt bekommen habe, die dumme Angewohnheit hatten, die Scriptengine zu triggern, mit dem Ergebnis, dass die Skripte regelmäßig versagt haben, habe ich mich endlich dran gemacht, die Vendoren auszutauschen.
Sie sind vielleicht nicht mehr so schick wie die alten, dafür laufen die Skripte jetzt aber ohne Gemecker...
Und wo ich gleich am Überarbeiten war, habe ich gleich noch einige neue Sounds dazu gepackt... :)

Revised sound vendors in the “Sound Machine”

After the original sound vendors, which I received from a friend a few years ago, had the annoying habit of triggering the script engine, resulting in the scripts regularly failing, I finally got around to replacing the vendors.
They may not be as fancy as the old ones, but now the scripts run without any problems...
And while I was revising them, I added a few new sounds... :)

Join us at the Piazza at 3 pm grid time, for a couple of hours of fun and music while Rockin' Robert spins the tunes for us via his radio station Wax Radio.

New Year, New Skills: Ignite Your Inner Creator in OpenSim This 2026

As the calendar flips to 2026, there's something electric in the air—a fresh start, a blank canvas waiting for your bold strokes. In the vast, ever-evolving grids of OpenSim, where imagination knows no bounds, what better time to challenge yourself? This year, let's make a pact: commit to learning one new skill that elevates your virtual world-building game. Whether you're a seasoned grid-hopper or a newbie dipping your toes into hypergrid adventures, picking up a fresh ability isn't just about adding tools to your inventory—it's about unlocking doors to entirely new realms of creativity.


Think back to those early days of OpenSim, when resources were scarce and ingenuity was king. Creators didn't wait for the perfect mesh import or the latest PBR shader; they dove in with what they had, turning simple primitives and scavenged freebies into masterpieces. It's that spirit of resourcefulness that still fuels our community today. If you've ever marveled at how a discarded texture or a forgotten sculptie can transform into something extraordinary, you're already on the path. But why stop at admiration?

2026 is your invitation to become the alchemist. One skill that's ripe for the picking—and perfectly suited to OpenSim's DIY ethos—is the art of modding. It's not about starting from scratch; it's about seeing potential in the overlooked. Remember that full-perm lamp gathering dust in your inventory? With a bit of tweaking, its base could become the foundation of a futuristic throne.
Or take a humble plant asset: stretch it, tint it green-blue, and suddenly you've got alien foliage for your sci-fi outpost. As I explored in a recent piece on turning "found parts" into new worlds, modding is like virtual recycling at its finest—it breathes life into old items and sharpens your eye for innovation.But modding is just one gateway.

Maybe scripting calls to you: imagine crafting interactive objects that respond to avatars, like a door that whispers secrets or a fountain that dances to music.

Or dive into texturing—mastering UV mapping and bump maps to make your builds pop with realism. For the bold, there's even world management: learning to tweak server settings or set up your own region could turn you from visitor to visionary host.

The beauty of OpenSim is its openness; skills here aren't locked behind paywalls. Free tutorials abound on forums, YouTube channels dedicated to virtual worlds, and even in-world classes hosted by fellow creators.Here's how to get started without overwhelm:Set a micro-goal: Don't aim to master everything at once. Pick one skill and dedicate 15 minutes a day. For modding, start by deconstructing a freebie—unlink its parts, experiment with rotations, and reassemble into something wild.

Build a "skill scrapbox": Just like a modder's inventory of shapes, curate resources. Bookmark guides, join OpenSim Discord groups, or follow creators on OpenSimWorld for inspiration.
Share your progress: Post your experiments on OpenSimWorld. Feedback from the community isn't just helpful—it's motivating. Who knows? Your first modded creation might spark someone else's journey.
Embrace the fails: Every twisted prim or glitchy script is a lesson. In OpenSim, "mistakes" often lead to the most unique discoveries.

Learning a new skill in 2026 isn't about perfection; it's about growth. In a world where we can fly, teleport, and shape reality with a click, why not level up your own abilities? You'll not only enrich your grids but also connect deeper with our vibrant community—sharing knowledge, collaborating on builds, and inspiring the next wave of creators. So, what's your new skill going to be? Grab that inventory, fire up your viewer, and let's make this year legendary. The hypergrid awaits your spark!
