In a totally different light-- here's me singing Santa Baby in rehearsal for a concert in a virtual world, Kitely. Please disregard he crappy animations (they're about as good as they can be for the moment). I hope you like the singing. https://youtu.be/lcJXRis7KD8

Due to the copybotters I feel like i just better destroy my whole land because there is no way to check everything to see if it was stolen or not. I cannot have a region with stolen things on it, and then use it to advertise a more fair economy. So this may be the end then. I removed the link to this land from my website. This was already the second time I rebuild everything, I may not be doing it a third time. Logins are disabled, possibly forever.

Brownstone Apartments are here for you in many flavors Low Poly and with ubODE Physics, textures included for your mods, and few extra stuff for your urban projects as always FREE, PREMIUM and FULL PERMS to share with no mercy!!! Enjoy!!! :)

ANNOUNCEMENT. The Moana department of sanitation needs your help! Tons of nice bikini's, sarongs and swimming trunks have been discarded in the water near the Beach Club. Come help clean it up!

Instructions: sit at the pier in the middle of the bay (or teleport to "fishing"), grab a fishing pole from the vendor there and start fishing by clicking the pole or saying "Cast" in local. There are 7 different packs to find for 7 different fabrics (see the ad above), each containing a bikini with matching sarong for Athena, LaraX, Legacy and Reborn, as well as swimming trunks for Legacy Male & Athletic, Jake/Ares and Gianni. These are original limited editions that can't be found at any store in the Hypergrid. Have fun!

Needful Things – News

1. Sim Renovation
Needful Things is now 8 years old—and it’s time to replace the old houses with updated versions. Unfortunately, this will take some time, as a few shops are also moving to different locations. At the landing point, there’s a notecard at the Region Guide Terminal showing the current locations of the respective shops.

As always, we recommend searching for the items you’re looking for on HyperCat first and then locating the objects on Needful Things itself using the area search.

https://ww2.hypercat.info/

Once the renovations are complete, we plan to implement our own search and teleport system—Sixtus Majus will take on this project later.

2. No Public Nudity

Unfortunately, it occasionally happens that visitors enter the region unclothed. It’s difficult to tell whether this is intentional or simply because their clothing hasn’t loaded. However, the following rule applies to all my public regions:

!! NO PUBLIC NUDITY !!

I want all visitors to have the freedom to shop at Needful Things without feeling disturbed by the sight of naked avatars. Adult content in the shops (e.g., the NPC Factory with its sex NPCs) is arranged in such a way that you have to deliberately seek out these rooms yourself or with the camera and won’t accidentally stumble upon unwanted content.

I expect the same respect from all visitors. I really hate to put up “No Entry” signs, but anyone who stands naked in the kids’ shop in the future (like the woman in the recent photo) will be removed without warning.
I deliberately offer a small selection of accessories for children’s avatars, so the sexualized depiction of a visitor—especially in this particular shop—is completely out of the question!!!

3. Dinkie Accessories

Until now, Needful Things was a Dinkie-free zone. That has changed since Sixtus and I fell head over heels for these cute avatars. There are already quite a few shops in HG that offer Dinkie stuff—we don’t want to compete with them. But you’ll now find a few little items at Needful Things as well.
Have fun!

Needful Things – Neuigkeiten

1. Sim Renovierung
Needful Things ist inzwischen 8 Jahre alt - und wird es Zeit, die alten Häuser durch überarbeitete Versionen zu ersetzen. Das nimmt leider etwas Zeit in Anspruch, da zusätzlich ein der paar Shops in andere Häuser umziehen. Am Landepunkt gibt es eine Notecard am Region-Guide-Terminal mit der aktuellen Lage der jeweiligen Shops.

Nach wie vor empfiehlt es sich vorab auf HyperCat nach den gesuchten Artikeln zu suchen und dann auf Needful Things selbst die Objekte mittels Umgebungssuche zu ermitteln.

https://ww2.hypercat.info/

Nach Abschluss der Umbaumaßnahmen ist ein eigenes Such- und Teleportsystem geplant - Sixtus Majus wird sich diesem Projekt später zuwenden.

2. Keine öffentliche Nacktheit

Leider kommt es hier und da mal vor, dass Besucher unbekleidet die Region betreten. Ob aus Absicht oder ob die Kleidung nur nicht geladen ist, lässt sich nur schwer unterscheiden. Grundsätzlich aber gilt auf allen meinen öffentlichen Regionen:

!! KEINE ÖFFENTLICHE NACKTHEIT !!

Ich möchte, dass alle Besucher die Freiheit haben, auf Needful Things shoppen zu gehen ohne sich am Anblick nackter Avatare gestört zu fühlen. Adult-Inhalte in den Shops (z.B. der NPC Factory mit ihren Sex-NPCs) befinden sich so angeordnet, dass man bewusst diese Räume selbst oder mit der Kamera aufsuchen muss und nicht versehentlich über unerwünschte Inhalte stößt.
Den gleichen Respekt wünsche ich mir von allen Besuchern. Ich stelle nur sehr ungern Verbotsschilder auf, aber wer in Zukunft nackt im Kindershop steht (so wie die Dame auf dem Bild vor kurzem), wird in Zukunft ohne Vorwarnung entfernt.
Ich biete bewusst ein wenig Zubehör für Kinder-Avatare an, darum geht die sexualisierte Darstellung eines Besuchers - besonders in diesem speziellen Shop - überhaupt nicht!!!

3. Dinkie Zubehör

Bisher war Needful Things Dinkie-Freie-Zone. Das hat sich geändert, seit Sixtus und ich einen Narren an den putzigen Avataren gefressen haben. Es gibt schon einige Shops im HG, die Dinkie Stuff anbieten- denen wollen wir auch keine Konkurrenz machen. Aber ein paar Kleinigkeiten findet ihr inzwischen auch auf Needful Things.
Viel Spaß!
