I really appreciate everyone dumping at the Gracie and Dexter dump thank you! I have a nice spot for all of you dropping off houses, we love them too but they are taking up lots of room in the main dumping area so if we could please move the larger builds to the area shown here with the heart 💗 home is where the heart is. And, thank you!!!

This is now part of the west side (for sunset experience). There are two bays with two yachts at anchor. The first bay close to cemetery and Congress Center has a yacht to live on. You can choose, if you want to have the yacht as phantom without physics but then have to lay out all floors and walls with invisible Lego prims or you get the same yacht with physics optimized for opensim by Prince of Amor in Blender. The box to buy is on jetty. For some people the non physical is better solution if you want to use it with engine. The new physical yacht has much less prim impact and can be used for anything. It is your choice what you like better. For Houseboat Yacht to live on, I would recommend the physical Yacht.
The other bay is in front of the Seaside Hotel and was my very first project at old Copycat times 2022. This yacht was created by Silver Mare (alias former Captain Hook) with all BDSM stuff (under deck). I made out of it a fetish party Yacht inspired by the rl existing Torture Ship at Bodensee in Germany.

You can reach the yacht by the red helicopter that is also landing at landing point. So you have the feeling to take a ride like Christian Grey to a party lol But you can also swim or float with boat to the yachts from jetty and beach at seaside hotel.

Caribbean Shores is a peaceful place of many rental properties and a lush Caribbean sunset that just takes your breath away.

If you are renting with us there already please make sure to keep your rental box up to date! :)

Rent an Island or a Hut, many choices here for sweet seaside living.

It is already 9 months old, but here on this Website never promoted in this way. You get couple walk for opensim created by Sergio Rodriguez. As single script to walk with your real avi partner (AI Bot) or you can even use it with an NPC Companion. You can even walk stairs with couple walk.
Here my promo video for couple walk with different cam adjustments. It is already scripted for smooth cam you can change easily.
https://rumble.com/embed/v4ov3h0/?pub=4
Valerie NatureInSim has built Couple Walk in her NPC Companion since her 3.0 Version and you can even build in a script to use AI to make your companion intelligent. Just put the script in the hud and it works automatically. There are many possibilities to create your own AI NPC with different LLMs. (Not to confuse with a Bot as own Avi Account.) You can have a Companion as NPC you can talk with and also can walk as couple at the same time. It is not working for hypergridding as if you would use an AI Bot with own Avi account, but for playing around on your grid it is enough.
If you want to make movies you have to make a lot of compromises, because for fluent changes you need the hud. If Firestorm would support Quicktime of apple it would be no problem and we could record from Firestorm itself like snapshots. So there is only solution to hide huds. The couple walk hud can be removed completely and it still works. If you use couple walk with your NPC Companion then you have to size it very small to have a big screen without hud.
Thanks to Valerie for building couple walk in her NPC companion. This is opensim for open source teamwork. Sharing is caring.

Long beach is perhaps the longest beach in opensim. More than 2 km long. (For draw distance reason at 1024 I can't take full picture.) Be careful with traffic at the promenade street. Lot of walkers and skaters. So don't stand around on pavement and look in the air lol This part of Big City Life is not leaned on NYC. More inspiration comes from Tel Aviv. But is a fantasy VR city anyway. lol

Bonjour
Le depart d'Ieko
qui en a marre des problems d'assets non trouvés d'un jour sur l'autre, des textures qui partent en vancances des non visites , chaque jour.
elle s'en va, et je ne suis pas loin de la rejoindre .
Opensim n'avance pas mais recule , toujours des trucs "mieux" incompatibles entre eux , des objets meshs d'un seul tenant, ne permattant pas comme autrefois la recupération d'un élement , et puis cette maie de toujours casser ce qui marche bien, mais là, c'est général . donc un jour je ne serais plus la non plus.

We invite everyone to attend the celebration of life and memory of Trizzy Hunter on Wednesday January 29th 4-6 pm CST aka 5-7 pm EST time. After the service there will be a dance party in honor of Trizzy at her region Daggers edge. Lavia Lavine will be your DJ host for the party. Please come and remember the legacy that is Trizzy Hunter.
