I appreciate the support of the OpenSim community in upvoting reviews of my region, even though some may be unfairly critical from those who have never actually visited.
My decision to ban an avatar I deemed underage (Child or Teen) was made in good faith, though it has prompted malicious and vindictive responses. If you've had a positive experience on my grid, I encourage you to share that by voting for accurate, unbiased reviews.

GIANT SEQUOIA TREES PACK (Sequoiadendron giganteum), from Californian forests to your SIM!

And another heads up. something I`m going to do from now on,I will be offering as well "suggestions" like a big cluster of trees, different sizes and rotations, for both flat area or slopes. I noticed many here rez trees and shift copy others and it doens`t look good (looks like Clones from Starwars lolol).I bet many will enjoy that idea.

Some people collect beautiful art

I collect bricks!

Not just normal bricks;
old worn out imperfect bricks.

These are the kind of bricks that help
tell a rich story about a buildings past.

but why.......WHY would I collect UGLY BRICKS?

Because I have a few friends who love to build!


Textures Trees & Scripts

p.s. I also have a few ugly rocks and soft fabrics in my collection.

Honestly... let's be clear... there are grids that are really terrible, they are just awful, and they have the audacity to advertise themselves as if they were the best...

I wonder how users don't realize that they are in a mess and consciously decide to stay there, but we'll address this topic in the days following the holidays. For now, I want to be kind to those who deserve it...

TROPICANA KOKOMO...

PLEASE REMOVE ALL THOSE FAKE USERS THAT YOU PUT THERE WITH REDGAST VIEWER TO GRAB AN USELESS SECOND PLACE! BUT THESE GAMES ARE KNOWN BY NOW, THEN 14 USERS FOR 72 HOURS CONTINUOUSLY AND FOR WHAT? NOTHING, BECAUSE EVERY TIME I COME, NO ONE RESPONDS AND NO ONE IS THERE! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO, COMPETE WITH THE CENTRAL PLAZA OF OSGRID? IN THE SAME GRID, BUT DELETE THIS SHAMEFUL REGION MADE BY USELESS PEOPLE WHO NEVER TURN ON THEIR BRAIN...

And Merry Christmas to all Christians, happy holidays to everyone else.

In hospital fighting to stay alive again at present. Signed power of attorney no life support, no more amputations. Sorry my world's are down. I am not doing well, and no money to fix PC still. Provided I make it home again. haha! Wish me luck. Prayers, love, hugs, n high 5's everyone. :)

### **Samsara: A Realm Reborn in the Alternate Metaverse Grid**

A journey of transformation, Samsara has expanded beyond its original boundaries, growing from a humble 2x2 into a breathtaking 5x5 VAR region. This evolution welcomes explorers into a world of balance and wonder, where every corner whispers the essence of renewal.

As you step into the newly unveiled expanse, **golden paddy fields** ripple like liquid sunlight, swaying gently in harmony with the breeze. Beyond them, an opulent **palace** stands, regal and timeless, offering a perfect vantage point for dreamers and wanderers alike.

For those seeking tranquility, **lavender fields stretch toward the horizon**, painting the land in hues of purple serenity. The air hums with the gentle murmur of **beehives facing the east**, their quiet diligence a reminder of nature’s tireless flow. Butterflies dance between blossoms, carrying the whispers of affirmations, a soft reassurance that peace is always within reach.

Within Samsara’s hidden sanctuaries, silence speaks in profound ways. The **Zen Garden**, a space of reflection, invites visitors to slow down and embrace simplicity, while the **Zen Pond**, glowing softly, carries **wishing balloons** that drift like silent prayers toward the horizon. Deep within the woods, **temples rise amid ancient trees**, shielding their wisdom behind veils of mist. And perhaps the most sacred secret lies beneath the fog, a **hidden Zen retreat**, where the world fades away, leaving only stillness.

For those craving movement, a **peaceful boat ride** awaits, gliding over waters that mirror the boundless sky. Whether you explore through stillness or motion, **Samsara is more than a place, it is an experience**, ready to be embraced.

Come, walk the sacred paths, sail into the unknown, and uncover the beauty waiting within Samsara’s expanded world. **The journey begins now.**

[Update] Furniture Update (HUDs, props, etc)
So, my goal was to slowly do this, but it's extremely time consuming (truly - the part that needs updating is what takes 99% of the time).
I have, however, gotten around to update/fix a few!
Animations are really the same, but you will see improvements in:
Look/materials, HUD inclusion, wear prop proper rotations, as well as some child-prim movement.
See added image for more details on which have been updated!

I still have over 500 Fatpacks I am currently going through at the moment changing their permissions, however the new store set up is well underway! The old store will be getting removed once I have changed all permissions of everything and I will be decorating the remaining part of the sim. If there are any queries feel free to give me a shout. I am around for a few hours yet.

The items in the boxes should be no more than 30 items and they are completely random and I mean random, lol! You should be able to see everything in the boxes before grabbing them. Sorry if you have duplicate items in your invy from me. But this was the only way that I was able to bring you all of the items I had in my invy without the need to place them in some sort of order. Just imagine it will be like Christmas, never really knowing what you are gonna get until you unpack the box! When you land head towards the West side of the sim and you will see little stores there.

Thank you once more for supporting me, it has been a long haul and I still have a way to go, but getting there slowly but surely!

Maisey ♥

My Newest Female Avatar - Sasha - Legacy Perky. There is a style card also included that links to the wonderful stores that let me use their items that are included with this avatar. A huge thank you and please check them all out as they all have wonderful items. She is a complete avatar which has all you see as well as shoes! .... Come take a look I am learning hope you like, Any questions or concerns don't hesitate to ask.

Hi folks, you will start seeing a bit more of this around. Long story short: a bunch of as OS contributors have come together to align and improve with our shared brains!
=The Gilded Accord=

The Gilded Accord is a collective of active OpenSim contributors who came together to align and coordinate their efforts.
Its raison the etre is to align the existing efforts and labour of love of the top OpenSim contributors, fostering sharing of best practices, and cross-pollination: because the result of the sum of some part can sometimes be bigger, be the exponential improvement that is born out of many creative minds working together!
Its vision is an OpenSim hyper-world that enjoys free, quality items.

The aims of the Accord are to:
1. Offer a forum for active creators from different grid to coordinate themselves.
2. Foster sharing of best practices.
3. Drive standardisation on standard items, nomenclature and approach that enable further development of dependant items (i.e. appliers, auto-alpha...)
4. Maximise the each members effort by aligning on contributions roadmap.
5. Freely sharing core items (scripts, and similar) that both standarise and improve items
6. Share and align best practices
7. Weave a network of trusted, quality stores across the hypergrid.


The standards of Accord member are:
1. Respecting other people's contributions, while also encouraging consensual sharing of items across stores (particularly 'core' items like body skins, bodies, heads...that are always handy to have in different grids).
2. Standarising the use of [at least!] MOD+COPY format for items
3. Championing the use of normal and specular layers - especially for new items.
4. Making a reasonable use of physics (prioritising bounding box) and reasonable levels of LOD, ensuring a smoother loading on hypergrid.
5. Leverage standardised nomenclature (i.e. use the same names for body and head faces, so other people can create appliers for them).
6. Focus on items for adult avis.
7. Promotion and champion of other members work.

This sounds nice - but what does it look like?
For Accord member: A private discord server section where we can align and share. 'Hey I'm focusing on contributing X', 'Oh, then I'm going to focus on Y which complements X'.
For overall OS members: A trusted networks of stores that meet same standards, as well as regular updates on them from our discord!

Today we play a “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful of them all?” ..... ME!!!
if you have the latest version of Firestorm and you want to see or get a mirror for your house, you already have one in Tierra de Volcanes, you don't need ultra graphics, or anything special, just in preferences check mirror, and in detail Reflection: real time.
with this you can see your reflection even if you are in medium graphics... like me :)

Hello Virtual Folks!

I seem to find it hard to find a nice Gay locations, NOPE! I don't want to hear about secondlife been there, that place is Drama! Anyways, I'm creating a region that is going to be Gay friendly also its friendly for those who just want to be friends and not discriminate! I'll add the region soon, I'm still working on it. My friend gave me some gay stuff, so I'll be adding those too.

Now, I don't want hate in my post, so please if you're not supportive of Gays thats ok! Its you're right just please move on.

You don't have to be gay to visit, just don't hate.

If you have a gay region you can add it to my post and I'll visit.

Thanks for reading! HUGS
