Hi lovely Starchild Shoppers!
I know some of you have been facing challenges accessing the store. It's been a bit up and down due to some blanket country-wide DDoS attacks (you've probably seen other services WW impacted as well).
Anyway, up now, but might be up and down until things stabilise. I have enabled an uptime notification, but if it's not up: it's not you, grid might be down!
Love and stellar blessings!

🎉 Tour Script — UPDATED! 🎉

If you've been using the classic OSW keymotion touring script for your boats, carriages, cars, or balloons — it just got a serious upgrade.

📍 Region-Crossing Support
Your tour vehicle can now travel across region lines and come back, instead of being stuck looping inside one sim.

🔄 Resume Feature
Hit STOP mid-tour, and your vehicle no longer snaps back to the start when you continue — it now resumes from the nearest waypoint, right where it left off.

🔓 Two versions available:

Anyone (public access) — open to all
🔒 Group Only (group-gated) — restrict the controls to your own group

Same notecard-based route format you already know, same simple touch menu — just with cross-region travel and a real resume built in.

Grab it here: https://opensimworld.com/library?view=170

Questions? Drop them below — happy to help anyone get it running on their own build. 🚤🎈🐎🚌

To be or not to be? - Ask the oracle

A mysterious new place awaits you on Fleetwood Beach. At its center sits The Oracle – a mystical Buddha who does not simply watch over everything in silence, but actually speaks with visitors.

Approach the Oracle and begin your personal audience with a click. For ten minutes, you can ask questions, share your thoughts, or simply engage in an unusual conversation. The Oracle responds calmly, with dignity, and with a slightly mystical tone.

As the audience begins, the atmosphere changes: a mystical sound starts to play, a cosmic veil appears, and golden-blue energy effects accompany the beginning of the conversation.

After ten minutes, the audience ends automatically, the effects disappear, and the Oracle is ready for the next visitor.

Important: Only one person can speak with the Oracle at a time, and only that person can read the Oracle’s answers. You can easily reach the Oracle via the teleport pads.

Visit Fleetwood Beach and discover what answers the Oracle may have waiting for you!

Come Visit Corazón del Mar ❤️

Take a walk through the colorful streets of Corazón del Mar at 3HG, my Cuban-inspired region.

Wander beneath the banners, explore the old streets and buildings, and discover the many details throughout the region. Gifts in the silversmith shop.

✨ XARA – Glamour mit einem frechen Funkeln ✨

Diese vier Ladies stehen da, als hätten sie gerade beschlossen, die ganze Stadt in eine persönliche Bühne zu verwandeln. Ihre Outfits? XARA pur – selbstbewusst, charmant, ein bisschen unverschämt und absolut bereit, jedes Schaufensterlicht in Konkurrenz zu schicken. Zwischen glänzendem Asphalt und Abendhimmel wirken sie wie eine kleine Gang, die genau weiß: Wenn wir auftauchen, wird’s glamourös.

Und natürlich hat jede ihren eigenen Charakter – von „Ich bin die Ruhe vor dem Fashion‑Sturm“ bis „Ich bin der Sturm“. Ein Hauch Drama, ein Schuss Humor, und so viel Stil, dass selbst die Straßenlaternen kurz überlegen, ob sie heller leuchten sollten. XARA zeigt hier nicht nur Mode, sondern Attitüde: Glamour, der Spaß macht.

🧢 Cooler als der Pausenhof erlaubt!

Wenn Style zum Spielplatz kommt, wird’s bunt, frech und einfach richtig lässig. Diese vier kleinen Trendsetter zeigen, dass Mode keine Altersgrenze kennt – von DJ‑Yoda‑Power über Palmen‑Coolness bis Cowboy‑Charme und Pixel‑Look. Jeder hat seinen eigenen Vibe, aber zusammen sind sie das Dream‑Team der Kinder‑Fashion.

Ob beim Toben, Chillen oder einfach beim Groß‑werden – hier trifft Komfort auf Charakter. Und ganz ehrlich: Wer so aussieht, braucht kein „Erwachsenwerden“, um schon jetzt die Mode‑Welt zu rocken.

💎 „Schmuck: Weil das Leben ohne Glitzer schon ernst genug ist“
Schmuck ist dieses kleine Wunder, das uns jeden Morgen daran erinnert, dass wir nicht nur funktionieren, sondern auch glänzen dürfen. Ein Ring hier, eine Kette da – und plötzlich wirkt der Tag ein bisschen weniger nach Pflichtprogramm. Er ist die charmante Art zu sagen: Ja, ich habe heute viel zu tun, aber ich tue es mit Stil. Schmuck nimmt sich selbst nicht zu ernst, aber er weiß genau, wie er uns besser aussehen lässt, als wir uns fühlen.

Und das Beste: Schmuck urteilt nicht. Er passt sich an, egal ob wir gerade Diva, Minimalistin oder „Ich hab’s eilig, aber irgendwas fehlt noch“-Typ sind. Ein kleines Funkeln, ein dezenter Schimmer – und schon wirkt alles runder, weicher, schöner. Schmuck ist die ironische Antwort auf graue Tage: ein stilles Augenzwinkern, das sagt „Komm, wir machen das Beste draus.“

Why have the projector running when nobody is there?

The projector automatically detects nearby avatars and activates when someone enters its 20-meter range. When the area is empty, the animation stops and the light switches off.

Less unnecessary activity while still giving you the beautiful animated effect when someone is around.

✨ CREATE THE LOOK OF REAL WATER REFLECTIONS

Place the projector near your pool, aim it toward a wall or ceiling, adjust the Focus, FOV and Ambiance, choose your color, and watch the shimmering caustics come alive.

Perfect for:

🏊 Swimming Pools
🧖 Spas & Resorts
🌴 Tropical Builds
🌊 Waterfront Homes
🐠 Aquariums
🎉 Clubs & Venues
🏨 Hotels
🏛️ Architectural Lighting
🌙 Nighttime Scenes

A small lighting effect that can completely change the atmosphere of a space.

It is a sonic tribute to those pioneers who not only shaped electronic music but also laid its foundations.
FRONT 242 have always had a vision of the future. Over the course of more than 40 years, they have shown us what is possible through the use of technology, human imagination, and creativity—utilizing instruments far beyond their intended purpose. FRONT 242 consistently embraced the latest available technologies to keep their music fresh, groundbreaking, and contemporary, all while ceaselessly pushing their sound to the limits of what is logically possible.
In the 1980s, Front 242 strived to project a visual mystery and anonymity to accompany their aggressive physical stage performances. The band's ethic is largely responsible for defining the rivethead style of industrial and EBM culture which included the wearing of military gear, such as flak jackets, camouflage, and combat boots, as well as hairstyles, sunglasses, accessories, tattoos, and piercings. Front 242 have consistently distanced themselves from far-right ideology. Their use of totalitarian and military imagery was intended to provoke and critique society, not to propagate a political ideology.


Es ist eine klangliche Hommage an jene Pioniere, die die elektronische Musik nicht nur geprägt, sondern deren Fundament gelegt haben.
FRONT 242 hatten schon immer eine Vision der Zukunft. In über 40 Jahren zeigten sie uns, was durch den Einsatz von Technik, menschlicher Vorstellungskraft und Kreativität möglich ist – indem sie Instrumente weit über ihren eigentlichen Verwendungszweck hinaus nutzten. FRONT 242 setzten stets auf die modernste verfügbare Technologien, um ihre Musik frisch, wegweisend und zeitgemäß zu halten, und trieben ihren Sound dabei unaufhörlich bis an die Grenzen des logisch Möglichen.
In den 1980er Jahren strebte Front 242 danach, eine Aura des Geheimnisvollen und der Anonymität zu vermitteln, die ihre aggressive, körperbetonte Bühnenperformance untermalte. Die Haltung der Band prägte maßgeblich den „Rivethead“-Stil der Industrial- und EBM-Kultur, der sich durch das Tragen militärischer Ausrüstung – etwa Splitterschutzwesten, Tarnkleidung und Kampfstiefel – sowie durch spezifische Frisuren, Sonnenbrillen, Accessoires, Tattoos und Piercings auszeichnete. Front 242 haben sich stets von rechtsextremem Gedankengut distanziert. Ihr Spiel mit totalitären und militärischen Symbolen diente der Provokation und Gesellschaftskritik, nicht der Verbreitung einer politischen Ideologie.
