I am pleased to announce the opening of the Selea Core Store, located in the southeast corner of the Star Ravenhurst Designs region. This project, which I dedicated over two weeks to last November, aims to preserve the body of work created by Selea Core, who left Open Sim unexpectedly around 2016-17.

At that time, Victor DeAngelo, Ms. Kal, and I gathered all the available Selea Core products. Victor also sourced additional items, re-boxing and labeling them since many were originally stored in folders rather than their original packaging. These items were subsequently offered at his shop.

Years later, I observed that many of these boxes had migrated to different locations, and several had become corrupted, containing duplicates or broken items. Consequently, I undertook the task of meticulously cleaning, repairing, and reboxing them with new labels to distinguish my collection from others. Additionally, I included rare Elven items from my collection that are not widely distributed elsewhere.

While I strive for perfection, I acknowledge that some boxes may not be flawless. However, I assure you that the Selea Core boxes available at this shop are clean, up-to-date, and ready for you to take home.

Please note that Selea Core often used Rezzers for her houses and many of her scenes, typically designed for a single 1x1 SIM. You will need to adjust the script to match the size of your region for the rez box to function correctly. If you require assistance, please feel free to reach out.
Special thanks to Victor DeAngelo for helping to preserve the work, Jupiter Rowland for sharing his SC collection with me, and Ms. Kal for leaving my boxes in her sandbox all this time so I didn't lose the collection.

Ich wünsche Euch und Euren Familien ein schönes gesegnetes Weihnachtsfest 🎄🎅 und für 2024 ein Jahr voller Glück und Harmonie, zufriedenen, fröhlichen Stunden, wundervollen Momenten und vor allem Gesundheit

I wish you and your families a wonderful and blessed Christmas 🎄🎅 and for 2024 a year full of happiness and harmony, content, joyful hours, wonderful moments and, above all, good health

Many stores where you can buy NOTHING (after all, everything is free!) are waiting for you here. To make your stay as pleasant as possible, there are 4 frozen yogurt stores in the small town - number 5 will open eventually. Or not^^.
Furthermore, there are 2 clothing stores with fashion for men and women, although something has gone wrong with the textures here - but come and see for yourself!
Brand new addition is the hairdressing salon with no less than 3 hairstyles - I can already betray that they are really the latest craze ;)

Viele Geschäfte, in denen ihr NICHTS kaufen könnt (schließlich ist alles kostenlos!), warten hier auf euch. Um euren Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten, gibt es 4 Frozen-Yoghurt-Läden in der kleinen Stadt- Nummer 5 wird irgendwann eröffnen. Oder auch nicht^^.
Ferner gibt es noch 2 Kleidungsgeschäfte mit Mode für Damen und Herren, wobei hier irgendwas mit den Texturen durcheinander gekommen sein - aber kommt und seht selbst!
Ganz neu dazugekommen ist der Friseursalon mit sage und schreibe 3 Frisuren - ich kann schon verraten, dass die echt der letzte Schrei sind ;)

The benefits of a wearable animesh horse:
- can cross sims
- can teleport
- can rez a follower co-rider poseball
and has some additional features

Have a long stroll at Neiferleaf and its connected 4 3x3 Var regions.

I don't usually support mesh bodies that have got nothing to do with Ruth2 or Roth2. But I've come across an improvement trick for Athena 6 with BoM that nobody seems to know.

The major problem is that the skin on Athena 6's limbs may look weird under certain viewer settings, much like a lighting bug. Some skin areas look brighter or darker than they should.

A minor problem is that alpha masks don't work on Athena 6 although they technically should with BoM.

The reason is because Athena 6 has a chaotic hodge-podge of alpha settings all over it. Parts are set to alpha masking, more parts are set to alpha blending (it's them which may look weird to you or to others), most have alpha off (this is why alpha masks don't work on Athena 6 out of the box).

The solution:

Step 1: Edit your Athena 6 body. All of it, not just any piece. Select it in your inventory while wearing it.

Step 2: Go to the Texture tab.

Step 3: Set the alpha mode to alpha masking.

Now the different shades of skin colour are gone, but your hands and feet may turn partially white. Don't panic, this is supposed to happen and will be fixed in the next steps.

Step 4: Set the mask cutoff to 128. If it is already 128, set it to 127 and back to 128.

The white should disappear, and your body should look normal again. Or better than what you saw previously.

Step 5: Take the body off and put it back on to save the new settings.

Also, you can now wear alpha masks like you can on the system body which might save you from the hassles that come with the alpha cuts on the HUD, and which you can save with outfits. The only limitation is that the alpha masks still don't work on fingernails and toenails.

Should alpha masks stop wearing, just edit the body and set the mask cutoff to 127 and back to 128.

The same method should work on Adonis 4 if you want to use alpha masks with BoM.

Oh, and before anyone tries this on Ruth2 v4 or Roth2 v2: You don't have to, at least not with the "BoM" bodies and Ruth2 v4 "Business". They've got alpha mode controls on the HUD. The "0.8.2.1" versions, on the other hand, are de-scripted and have no HUD, so they require this trick, too, if alpha masks don't work.

So many beautiful places to explore on Alternate Metaverse Grid- Castles, Schools, Beaches, Malls, Clubs, Live Stages, Parks, Adult Couple Regions and incredible residents. A warm friendly Adult grid with open Waters and Air, Copy your own OAR from website, low cost land packages, Regional God powers, Self restarts from web. https://www.alternatemetaverse.com

I am devastated. I loved and respected Mal, and I will miss his friendship and spending time with him, as we all will. There is a Facebook group, Friends Of Mal https://www.facebook.com/groups/friendsofmal if you would like to join in honoring and remembering him. Rest in Peace, Dear Friend. Until we meet again.

Our latest addition to the Sub-Version mall: The Garden Centre.

Large collection of unique items for your garden - many with a fantasy feel to them.

As always many many items at other stores at Sub-Version Mall.

Through life, there are people and events that take and hold a piece of our soul - sometimes the better, sometimes for the worst. Sometimes the trigger are small, apparently insignificant things.
A piece of mine was taken 9 years ago when I saw the above screenshots in the news. I sobbed for day, as I still do today. I grieved for people I had never met, as I still do today.
PRIDE doesn't hold meaning (or the same meaning) for everyone - and that is okay.
But regardless of where we stand on, of what we believe on - Love and Kindness to our neighbours shall be the Law.
This is, once again, my Starchild wish and Blessing to you all:
'May, when given the choice, you always choose kindness. For you are all Children of the Earth and Starry Heavens, but your race is of Heaven Alone'
Let us remember:
'Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth, for behold: all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals; and therefore let there be Beauty and Strength, Power and Compassion, Honour and Humility, Mirth and reverence within you.'
Blessed Pride
In Love & Grief,
Aurora Starchild

Quick (couple of) question to OS Community:
- Do many of you still use (and prefer) Gianni?
- Do many of you use perky versions of bodies?
Thinking in terms of effort (because there are ENDLESS bodies with add-ons now) and that's it's extremely hard to cater for everyone in terms of clothing.
Thinking about whether is worth

### **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.**
