Week 6: Learning the Fundamentals of Your Viewer
This week, we will cover the basic functions of your viewer, essential for customizing your experience. You will learn how to create outfits and get dressed, utilizing the outfit system. We will go over the toolbars buttons, clearing cache and building in your AO. Volume controls for adjusting other avatars' voices will also be addressed. By the end of this day, you will have a solid grasp of the core viewer features allowing you to tailor Open Sim to your needs. With practice, these functions will become second nature. Understanding these basics paves the way for more advanced creativity down the road. Class will be starting at 10am grid time every Saturday

Not quite ready for our grand opening yet as we are still collecting art from folks who would like to get their art "out there" for others to enjoy and maybe even buy! Contact Star Ravenhurst or Myself for more information about the Le Beau Retrouvè Art Gallery and we'll do what we can to get you noticed. We all get by with a little help from our friends! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

UPDATE: I CREATED A MINI-ME AND WE TESTED IT, SEEMS TO BE WORKING. :Þ
Can someone test out this karaoke join list board for me? I do not have enough friends to test it. I left it in my sandbox at cyberdatastorm.com:8002:SandBox You can buy it for 0$ Please let me know a detailed description of any bugs.

Millions of stars lit up Caribou when I took Monkey on my shoulder for a little break from my landscaping. I sent a loving thought to my friend Veri McMaster who taught me so much. She is now with the angels, and I miss her badly.

Veri knew that our experiences in OS can have a healing effect on our brains. She went out to prove this by taking many people to adult environments and experiences. We talked much about her project, and she inspired me to read more and follow up on what she was doing.

Veri was right. Environment, architecture, experiences, good relations, can all improve our neurological health. But there is also a dark side of adult life in OS which has opposite effects.

I know it myself. For almost a year I lived through a period of exclusion and harassment. My friends were lost and lies were circulated. I was excluded from all adult events and groups all over OS. If I asked something I was told that these are only my own sick fantasies. My friends were told to ignore me or they would get excluded themselves.


I was as alone as can be, night after night, week after week. And no. I was not feeling well.

My few remaining friends saved me. But I still suffer from what happened.

This is a dangerous game. I don’t think that most people understand how dangerous it is. Lonely people who maybe have other health problems may fare much worse than I did.

I now own a major region and grid, caribougrid.com. I am happily partnered and have many new friends. Some have apologized for their treatment of me which I do appreciate.

I still suffer from the old lies that were circulated. I am not allowed into most adult events and sites. This does not hurt me anymore. I go where I am welcome and wonder about the others.

I wanted to tell this to explain my approach to Caribou. We will never exclude anyone, and we will never accept any harassment on these islands. There will never be groups that exclude others. Everyone will be welcome on these adult islands where there are as few rules as we can have.

If you have similar experiences please talk with me. We don't offer professional advice but it may help to talk, and to know that there are others as well. Such as I myself.

Caribou is Adult rated and we hope that our friends come as 18+ Avatars, at any size small or large, so we can keep these islands open, advanced and safe for all. Ask me, Jeanne, if you are not sure how we see you.

Ask me also for private homes, hideaways and second homes. From villages and tropical islands to countryside and winter snow. From your own island to a village condo. Caribou Avatars have the right built in.

Avatars from other Grids please contact me and we see what and how we can arrange. We will always find solutions.

A caribougrid.com Avatar can be created at http://hg.caribougrid.com:16002 - and life here will be easy. Please note that our server checks automatically that your e-mail address is a real one.

All is free in Caribou. Read more at www.caribougrid.com.

A warm hug to you all. Jeanne

The Magic Mirror! Have you wanted a mirror you can click on and see yourself? Well here it is... You must change the mirror from "Buy" to "Sit" after you get it home. Then just click the mirror and sit on it. Press the [Esc] key on your keyboard to see yourself in the mirror. Make sure to turn off your AO. When you are done playing with the menu animations in the magic mirror, simply stand up. Et Voila. ( Yes I know this mirror is ugly as sin, but it's full perm, and you can play with the script, and retexture this mirror any way you like, maybe even put the scripts inside a decent looking mirror? i dunno. Anyway Enjoy )
With this script it is also possible to put in other animations, such as if you wanted to see yourself dancing in the mirror. etc. A long long time ago, i made this script for a lady in digiworldz. She put it inside a beautiful mirror and gave me a copy of that mirror, but I lost it in a grid crash, and it's been so long ago I forgot her name. I would love to have a copy of that mirror again, so if you want a better mirror ask around on digiworldz.

How are your acting skills, how are your writing skills, can you work with a director, and are you patient enough to see a great story come to life? Contact me or Metal Tango at Genesis Roleplay Grid to discuss the possibilities. Blessings and much love, Lavia

The Magic Huds have all been updated today 2/20/2024. This update fixes a problem which would present itself if two witches tried to use their huds in the same region. (or 2 elves, or 2 wizards, or 2 fairies, or 2 vampires). What previously happened is that one witch would control the other witches magic at the same time as hers. This has been fixed. Now when you wear the magic hud, it brands to YOUR avatar. This stops other people who have the same magic from accidentally using your magic and casting 2 spells simultaneously. Make sense?

Hier ein paar impressionen vom Karneval in Köln. Danke allen die ein Teil davon waren.

A big shoutout to the Sons of Anarchy MC Club over in OsGrid for the copyable Choppers. These bikes are great to ride and they lean on the bends very well. They are not the fastest bikes in the world but a lot of fun to ride around the streets of Alexander City.

When you jump on any of the bikes they will have 12 litres of gas in the tank. 1 lap of the City or the Circuit will use about 4 litres of gas, so at some point you will need to get fuel. There are four fuel filling stations on the region. When you pull up to the pump go down the gears, hit page dn so the bike idles and then click the pump. Your bike will be refuelled in appx 10 seconds. There is also a Female Leather outfit at the Bike Store if you want to take a copy. Please leave a comment about Alexander City and the Chooppers. I would appreciate it.

How is organized the city splitted into the 16th regions.

Every one have the same start name: Ciudad_404_ where the can be found on the image, so on the middle there is Ciudad_404_1, and on the left Ciudad_404_2.

More than 34.000 prims, some districts of the city are not fully finished, other are half or not still initiated, but I'm still working on it (since it's a project I'm doing alone)
