Saddle up and ride into something truly special. This FREE Stagecoach has 4-person seated capacity - so bring friends, a shotgun and come take a copy.

I've added five new timed trial runs at the Outworldz New Silver Stirrup Stables at https://opensimworld.com/hop/94167

This beautiful region was custom made by Joe Builder, and reworked by Fred and Marianna to jump, race, and count coup on your mortal enemies (score fake internet points and brag/spam in the chatbox).

You may also pick up the Stagecoach at Spirit of Dreams at Three Hills Grid at Spirit of Dreams: https://opensimworld.com/hop/93661. Marianna has a special tribute to her and my ancestors. Take a horse or coach and head toward the Windwalker in the sky and jump over the large log.

I'm setting up a new shop called MODERN TORTURE on 1 Red Light Blvd in the famous Stark Red Light District. I just have two items now but will continue to add new items. One is a head bag that makes the wearer blind (can be used in #RLV folder for added fun) The other is a metal pin chair that is very uncomfortable to sit on.

Working on this new shop is very fun. Guys keep coming by cat calling me through the window (i fake AFK) This one dude is out there right now talking on his phone probably lying to his woman telling her he's stuck at the office working late, so i'm playing possum. Definitely need to get some curtains put up in here.

Fantastic news, everyone! Adani and I have been absolutely buzzing, working hard to completely repair those tricky color HUD problems that popped up on the Xengine grids in the Legacy region! I've just finished replacing all the scripts, and I'm so thrilled to say we're officially reopening the area! If you happen to run into any little issues at all, please don't hesitate to give me a shout, and I'll be right there to fix it up for you as quickly as I possibly can. Oh, and to all the guys out there – I know I don't have a huge amount of men's wear ready just yet, but I've put everything I have out for you, and I'm beyond excited to announce that the men's side of the Legacy region is now OPEN!

Hello everyone, OpenSim friends! 🌟 After a few weeks of well-deserved relaxation, I'm back with lots of new stuff to get you going like never before! 💃🕺 We have new dances for all tastes: from Country Line to K-Pop, including a series dedicated to boys with three fantastic dances, and of course the legendary Club Groove TikTok dance! 🎶✨ There's really no need to wait, it's time to have fun and let loose! Come try them out and get ready to dance!🎉

The List That Really Matters.

I recently listed the shops that were recommended in the What Are You Looking For group in the past six months as a way to encourage these and other shop owners to join the group and help people find stuff they are looking for.

But here is the list that really matters. If anyone helps people find stuff in the What Are You Looking For group, their help is acknowledged and their regions promoted. It’s the least I can do to thank our members who make the effort to help people find what they are looking for. It’s been three months since I’ve done that. Here are the people who have helped in that time.

• JamieWright. Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. Visit their profile for info on their regions. https://opensimworld.com/user/JamieWright
One thing I especially love about Jamie's shops is that they are supportive of the 2SLGBTQIA+ (2Spirit/Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic + many more) communities.

• Felix Mafia. Visit his profile for a list of his regions. One of them, Kingman City, has been a place for 5 years to find the finest animations. https://opensimworld.com/user/FelixMafia

• FallenAngelAbsent. Visit her region Circus. It features Bumper Cars (my favorite as a kid!), and the Ghost Train.
hg.osgrid.org:80:Circus

• Mistressdalgato offers many things on her Virtual Beach Grid region. I’m going to highlight just one: Free little land without the need for a local account. See her profile for more info. https://opensimworld.com/user/Mistressdalgato

• Jupiter Rowland Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. He has no regions. He's just a freelance helper who is one of the most informed people in OS about where to find stuff.

• RafaGuzn: A mystery man from Mexico.

• Chelsea Louloudi. This is so cool! One of her regions is Pepperland, based on the 1968 ground breaking animated cartoon, Beatles 'Yellow Submarine". lfgrid.com:8002:Pepperland

• Sharpened Razor: Visit Norti Farm for the Vivosim Farming System & Shop with new Farming Item's Freebies & Much more
utopia.outworldz.net:8002:Norti Farm

• Bink Draconia: Among their many regions is the Black White Castle. It's a "monochrome region that gives you the feeling of being in an old black and white movie”. How cool is that! pangeagrid.de:8002:Black White

• Wolf Territories: I had to take my shoes off to count all of the regions Wolf has, and even counting up to twenty was not enough. Check it out.
https://opensimworld.com/dir/?grid=grid.wolfterritories.or...

• John Sheppard  has regions devoted to Dragonriders of Pern Roleplay, and Highlander the TV Series based Roleplay. For more info: https://opensimworld.com/user/johnsheppard

I encourage you to visit these places and thank these helpful folks should you meet them. I also hope you will join us and help out. https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

Our next release to the Homelandz Public Library is a classic rather short novel that is a gripping and touching tale of 2 unlikely traveling companions, looking for work, and a piece of the American Dream. I highly recommend the modern movie remake of the black and white classic as well. The newer one features Gary Sinise as George, and John Malkovich as Lenny.

"George...tell me about da rabbits?"

Of Mice and Men is a 1937 novella written by American author John Steinbeck. It describes the experiences of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, as they move from place to place in California, searching for jobs during the Great Depression.

Steinbeck based the novella on his own experiences as a teenager working alongside migrant farm workers in the 1910s, before the arrival of the Okies whom he would describe in his novel The Grapes of Wrath. The title is taken from Robert Burns' poem "To a Mouse": "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley" ("The best-laid plans of mice and men / Often go awry").

Although the book is taught in many schools, Of Mice and Men has been a frequent target of censorship and book bans for vulgarity and for what some consider offensive and racist language. Consequently, it appears on the American Library Association's list of the Most Challenged Books of the 21st Century.

Watching the falcon close up in the shop, I found too many glitches and uglies, so.....Peregrin 2.0: remapped the mesh, remastered the textures, improved rig...
You gotta love a challenge☺.
It's painstaking time-consuming, so, making the anims now for the ready birdie.....takes some more ♫ time, patience is the key.

"Girls, we have a new addition you don't want to miss! The new Vale Outfit Complete is here! with HUD to change the shape of the feet, perfect for showing off leggings & fishnets at their best! Available in 3 fabulous colors, with all layers of material included.
Ready to shine?"

🌹 The Treasured Garden Hunt 🌹
A celebration in honor of beloved mothers.

In every corner of the grid, roses have been hidden — each one holding a never-before-seen gift created especially for this event. This hunt honors the spirit of all mothers, who deserve to be cherished and celebrated.

Explore and discover the treasures placed lovingly throughout the grid
Each rose offers a unique surprise, never before released in OpenSim
Ongoing through Mother’s Day week, with new gifts replenished as roses are found

Join us in celebrating the beauty, love, and strength of mothers everywhere.
Because every mother is a treasure — and in the Treasured Garden, they are honored with joy.

🌹 Please note: Once a rose is taken, that gift is gone — it will be replaced with a new, unique treasure. Each gift is limited, not copied, and only a few of each will be given, making every find truly special.

All items from my inventory are now available in the store! I still have textures to go through but will do that tomorrow. It's been a hard slog! But the end is near. Once that is all done I can get back to what I love to do! Please remember and give it time for boxes to reach you before attempting to buy another one.

I will work on the rest of the sim later on to make it all pretty! And yes you may see a little store tucked away in the corner with a big ? on it, time will tell what that will be, but I am sure it will be exciting for all regardless! Thank you for putting up with me whilst I do all this, I really do appreciate you all ♥

Texures, Trees & Scripts is honored to work with Maisey Moon and The Shopping District. For the Landscaping lovers, I have added two huge Greenhouses of Maisey's quality plants and trees!

The Little Store that keeps getting better now offers:

Tropical Greenhouse
Non Tropical Greenhouse
Two Greenhouses filled with The Shopping District plants
Textures Warehouse
Textures Too Warehouse
Scripts Warehouse
Underwater life Dome

Textures Trees & Scripts ....we just got a lot better by adding a really great person's products, Maisey Moon!

So TDS will be changing the way that you grab items at the store! I have decided to make all items full perms, only because I see my items at other stores with no credit to myself at all. So if I make everything full perm then everyone can pass out the items to their friends. I will also be boxing items based on dates that are in my inventory. I have thousands of items not out because I am just myself at TDS. So the store will still be open whilst I work in the sky to get items boxed for you to grab once it is ready. I was going to put items in boxes based on what the item is, however, I would be trawling through my invy at a snail's pace. So if you have items already then you can just unpack and delete. Watch this space and thank you for your support as always ♥

A little sneak preview of something I'm working on on a region not yet ready to showcase. Focail na mban means women's words in Irish.

Women’s Words is in the works to put Irish women writers into the spotlight; a spotlight that has too long been occupied by Irish men. The goal of focail na mban is to explore contemporary women's writing in Ireland through a diverse intersectional lens. The shop will feature different writers in rotation and offer a deep dive into their lives and work.

Happy International Women's Day!

Remove objects from your inventory that have the same name, keeping the object with the last date.
Delete Duplicates in opensim database

DELETE ii1
FROM
inventoryitems ii1
INNER JOIN (
SELECT
inventoryName,
MAX(creationDate) AS max_creation_date
FROM
inventoryitems
GROUP BY
inventoryName
) ii2 ON ii1.inventoryName = ii2.inventoryName AND ii1.creationDate < ii2.max_creation_date;

Please backup your inventory first!!! Just in case you are not happy with the results. It really will do what it says. However, there is a case where a person has merged their inventory multiple times and duplicates have the same creation date. In that case the script would leave those duplicates. Be sure to write down the size of your inventory when you start, and note the size after you run the script.

The Grove Bistro is a freebie little restaurant anyone can come and copy/buy for 0 on Birch Grove Spring. A while back I found both this cute little building (on Klamotto region) as well as a really cool collection of food on Sketchfab from a RL restaurant. I have been meaning to make a restauant combining both elements. Be aware there are some separate parts. The tables are LK from the Moonlight series and they have all the plates in them. I didn't like the square plates the originals came with so it's all on some classic round plates made by Sunny from OpenSimCreations. It was sorta supposed to be for Valentines day but the time got away on me so it's just for anytime and a cool place for your avs to go pretent to eat...lol. Not everything is free to copy/buy for 0 if it came from other creators and the perms were not so. Beside the cemetary and behind the Afree Hair Salon. Enjoy!

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.

If you have been keeping up with the weather in the US, you know that about half of the US is dealing with blizzards, sub freezing temperatures severe enough to challenge infrastructures, and peripheral states are dealing with flooding and electrical infrastructure challenges. Two of our presenters had to bow out due to last minute inclement weather, and my own electricity is VERY sketchy. We have experienced power surges in my city for over 24 hrs, with uncertain relief. Sadly, I live in a state that has puffed out their chest about being off the federal grid, and in the last 10 years, we have paid dearly for that.

We are committed to this. We will reschedule sometime after the Hypergrid World's Fair, where WolfTEC will be have a presence! We hope to see you all there!

Are you using a 4K monitor ? Are you looking to upgrade ?

I publish here some benchmark in the hope it might help those who are looking to up part their performances using Firestorm. I was myself looking to find those information before i upgraded.

This will allow you to see what performance you could get with a similar hardware. I chose Intel, but AMD is also a very good choice, so for comparison it would need to be an AMD with similar performance to get similar result, the same for the video card.

Please note, these benchmark are with Firestorm with everything enabled Ultra Detail and Distance view set to 864. With a 4k Monitor (3840x2160)

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 :)
