I wanted to leave it at that - but thought I would bring at least 1 face skin + eyes to go with the skin tones!
Bear in mind it's in a new location (since I plane to bring some more items on this theme): hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Boutiques%20NE/85/2...

Another steamy furniture, great to blend in with public venues in adult sims (bars, or outdoors). A vending machine with stocked with everything you need, from dildos to condom. Not its main use, though! Have all the fun against it with the +300 animations it comes with.You could also, make the mesh invisible and place it on any wall!

Hi folks! Been a while since I posted something. Out now is this semi-circular sofa, named by the public, sitting up to 8 avatar (4 couples) and with tons of animations.
Some of the texture available look better on a 'latex' type of shine.
Remember the furniture store is located: hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Boutiques%20NW/768/...

As some of you might have seen, the region hosting the Shoppe has divided into four themed ones, and so have we!

Just wanted to send another huge shout out at @valerieluv0 's work ( https://opensimworld.com/post/109263 )
In the past, as I guess many others in OS too, we had to have a 'paging' system for rentals, get involve in each transaction, assign permissions... it was an administrative nightmare.
Now we can manage almost 300 parcel rentals (both free and paid) spread across 8 regions (and planning on another 72!) SEAMLESSLY!

===Starchild Kin: On the Order of Celestials===
‘…the humans inquire about the Hierarchy of Angels, as they call us. They have conceived a hierarchy of what they call choirs, which does not seem inappropriate, for there is a First Song, that is also the Last...'
'...And from the First Song, that is the Last, the Song without Sound, condensing like pearls of harmonic melody, came the Seraphim, falling like rain upon the mountain, and they Sang to the Song, and there was Harmony....'

Sunset Dreams Sectional out now!
A new section PACKED with tons of animations, and sitting up to 6 people!

The couch texture comes with 2 basis tintable layers. While I have put some colours via hud, you can always tint with your own!

Uber: hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Darkhearts Boutiques/371/380/23

They say that it's the journey, not the destination... So why not have fun while you get there? And bring along another 4 friends while you are at that!
Mariner's Lustful Speed boat comes packed with +1200 animations. But I thought we could add some more, so I integrated the menu with the Underwater sex ones...because I can!
Speedboat is fully drivable and include some sounds!

Uber: hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Darkhearts Boutiques/388/411/23

No, it's not a texture HUD... This one will rezz poseballs so you can have fun anywhere!
Brand new animations in both items, and sounds!
Remember that, like the walls, you can/should make this box transparent and place it anywhere (instructions inside). They HUD only needs attaching!

Uber: hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Darkhearts Boutiques/391/359/23

Okay, this one goes out to @sodasullivan who keeps moaning about me only bringing alcohol. So some Hazelnut Coffee it is...and a 'Hidden' wine cellar.
Both items dispense drinks with hold/drink animations: Cellar 2 different ones.
Cellar frame is scripted so it moves and hides the drinks! Pourover dripping is scripted too.
All include bumpiness and shine layers and values.
Uber: hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Darkhearts%20Boutiq...

Not dead! Taken a bit to get back to next step at Starchild Shoppe: furniture review. During the first months the goal was to make available as much as I could. Now it's time to refine, some based on your feedback, it will be a slow process, but Float and Mattress are done!:
- Bumpiness and shine layers now included.
- Permissions have been reviewed so they are Copy+Mod
- Wear props have been reviewed with Matthew Stevenson's fix so they rotate properly.
- Includes a HUD, and I have added the remaining 15 textures.
The updated items will also get their vendor updated, so just click on the screen for those (rather than the usual GET button).

Hi folks - if someone hasn't tried @valerieluv0 's rental system, please do. Amazing stuff... and she is super supportive.
Small details that show that the person who designed it knows about he process (like, being able to set the picture for the main office in each box, so you can take it and drop it as you rezz them!)

For some, it seems to be sometime tougher to be kind behind pixels. Our values and standards should not change, just because there isn't an immediate and apparent accountability to what we do or say. Be kind.

[About Chelsea’s Point]
Chelsea’s Point is the [work-in-progress] result of the Darkheart’s Playground vision on a VIP residential home region, and Brandy Darkheart’s aim to offer a high-end designed home option.
It is also the labour of creativity and love (and frustration!) of Anael Starchild, who crystallises this vision in a residential region with furnished homes with fully landscaped surrounds.
[What is different about Chelsea’s Point?]
Darkheart’s Playground already offer free land to all grid member, and parcels with higher prim allowance to VIP members who support the grid through its Patreon tiers.
Many of us do however come from virtual worlds where there are designer homes and parcels for those who want the perks of a fully furnished home integrated into a landscape, without having to go through ordeal of landscaping of furnishing it themselves!
People who have been there also know that designer sims or home in other virtual words have a waiting list, and a custom ones goes for around 800$!
Chelsea’s Point offer a holistic cohesive designed blended across each parcel. Each home is fully integrated into the landscape – parcelling only happened AFTER the design was ready.
[Why ‘work-in-progress’?]
The full scope of Chelsea’s Point is a 4x4, that is…16 ‘sims’. While it might not be sound like much in OpenSimulator, the level of detail has been matched to other virtual worlds where the focus is at a ‘sim’ level.
First Phase is now ready, and we wanted to make it available as we continue landscaping the rest of the region.
[How can I rent a home?]
Any DH VIP member can rent a home at Chelsea’s Point – check out our tiers at Patreon! Once subscribed, please contact @Anael Starchild in-world.
For the initial first 2 weeks VIPs who do not own a residential region (i.e. tiers of 5$ or 10$) will take priority – this is to ensure that we priorities members who might subscribe for access to them.
[What are the ‘specs’ of the homes?]
Each home is decorated differently, while keeping the overall design of the region and it surroundings. As such the parcels might vary.
[What are the particular conditions?]
Homes are rented AS IS: i.e. With everything that is included. New furniture can be added indoors, or outdoors if it doesn’t conflict with the overall design of the region. Pre-existing furniture might be replaced via contact with Anael Starchild (this is to ensure that the home can be ‘brought back’ to its original design if rental expires, and new renters can enjoy it ‘as it was’)
Rental doesn’t need to be renewed – it lasts for as long as the VIP subscription does.
Skyboxes are allowed, at a reasonable height (above 2,500 meters).
All renters, and other VIP member, can enjoy the ‘Chelsea’s Point Commons’open area.
[Next design steps]
>>>Design outline: The ‘southern’ part of Chelsea’s Point (left and right of current development) will be Phase II – and it will follow the same ‘style’ of landscaping as the current developed area. More modern to the right, more suburban to the left. Phase III will continue up to the north with a lakeside area. Further phases will continue up to the mountain range that will have a small village at its bottom.
>>>>Early ‘bookings’: If you are a VIP member, and have a vision about your ideal home style, that you think would fit within Chelsea’s Point overall design, we can take ‘advance concepts/bookings’ to design it for you and include you in the process. Please contact Anael Starchild in world for that.

So, our friend @DukoNobusho asked me for a 'couple things' and kinda got carried away on the dirty/notty side of things. So... I give ya...the Nobusho Megapack!
