I have often considered my underwater worlds
to be my best build ever. It took 6 months to find things, build
destroy, build, adjust and redo. Much of the time was spent searching.

This week I realized.....the best thing I can do for Opensim
is help all of you build underwater worlds if you wish.


Textures Trees & Scripts


now offers a massive Underwater section!

Hundreds of fish, coral, 5 types of rays, sharks, octopus, anemones, kelp and much more!

Enjoy making your dreams come alive!

Amidst the darkened skies, the crackling energy of black magic surged through the air, a palpable force weaving its way through the ether. Lightning bolts danced wildly, illuminating the night with their jagged brilliance, while thunder rumbled ominously, shaking the very foundations of the earth. The power of the arcane surged, a tempest of magic and might, its presence undeniable and its influence profound

Textures Trees & Scripts is proud to partner with our friend Cyberglo and offer a Wizardry shop inside our script building. However.....The best magic is kept hidden behind a wall.......

Some people collect beautiful art

I collect bricks!

Not just normal bricks;
old worn out imperfect bricks.

These are the kind of bricks that help
tell a rich story about a buildings past.

but why.......WHY would I collect UGLY BRICKS?

Because I have a few friends who love to build!


Textures Trees & Scripts

The name says it all!

p.s. I also have a few ugly rocks and soft fabrics in my collection.

This little store has an amazing inventory! In addition to the womens fasions and costumes, you will also find an extensive selection of hair and shoes.

For the last 3 weeks, I have dealt with a intermittent issue on my grid that has about driven me nuts. I have tested, and eliminated possibilities …..without luck.

Yesterday two of the largest grid owners in open sim, Lone Wolf from Wolf Territories and Josh Boam from Aviworlds, took time from their busy schedules to help finally fix this issue. In addition , Rafael from Wolf Territories assisted. I cannot say thanks enough!

Although I work with Josh’s hosting business, this involved much more. Josh would not give up and recruited Lone Wolf.

In my opinion, maybe this is what opensim was designed to be: sharing of knowledge and helping each other.

Lone Wolf and Josh did not have to give up their time to help a tiny grid…..but they did!

Maybe we can all learn from these individuals!

Sharing knowledge is Caring



FYI. The default setting of 2 threadsets can cause major headaches depending on your region….it is way too low in some cases. You all probably know that…but I learned.

Why are people moving to friends-grid?

It’s not because of the 4 new race tracks opened at our Velocidad region.

It’s not because we have the largest, most detailed underwater build in open sim.

It’s not because the sailing here is soo fun and challenging.

It’s not because they heard about the new Friends Mall & Skatepark….opening in February.

It’s not because of our one of a kind Casino…an experience like no other!

It’s not because of the super fast servers

It’s not because of the amazing and rare horses found at our stables.

No, those things are nice
But they are not why people are moving to friends-grid

The secret is out

And word has been spreading fast!

People are moving to friends-grid
Because of our amazing residents!

That’s right……
The reason people are moving to friends-grid is

The PEOPLE.

Our community has people from all over the world…..

But we all speak the language of friendship….and we find ways to communicate and learn about each other’s culture.

We presently have a couple islands still available and we are looking for people who want to be a part of this amazing international community. There is no rent charged on these islands and they offer 10,000 prim.

We do not want everybody, but we want a few awesome people to make our community even better!

Contact Grid Hostess Zuzu Bahro or Safine Mahoe for details or go to friends-grid.com

The early morning sun paints the sky with warm, golden hues as it rises on the horizon. The gentle caress of the wind fills the sail of the boat, propelling it effortlessly over the calm and glistening water. It's a perfect start to the day, with the promise of adventure and tranquility ahead.

As you gaze out over the water, you're treated to a mesmerizing sight. Majestic whales breach the surface, their massive bodies breaking through the shimmering waves, and they emit powerful spouts of water as they exhale. Their playful antics in the water create a sense of wonder and awe, as if they are celebrating the new day's beginning.

Amongst the whales, elegant manta rays gracefully glide through the water, their wings undulating like ethereal dancers. They add a touch of grace and beauty to the scene, as if nature itself is putting on a spectacular show just for you.

It's a moment of pure serenity and connection with the natural world.

Sailing on tropical waters with friends as the sun sets can be a magical experience. The warm weather, clear skies, and tranquil waters create the perfect setting for a memorable day.

As you sail along the friends-grid, you'll likely encounter stunning views of palm-fringed beaches, crystal-clear waters, and maybe even some marine life swimming alongside your boat. The gentle rocking of the boat and the sound of water splashing against the hull add to the serene atmosphere.

As the sun begins to set, the sky will be painted with vibrant hues of orange, pink, and purple, creating a breathtaking scene. Watching the sun dip below the horizon, casting its golden glow across the water, is a moment of pure beauty and tranquility.

I have a crazy idea! I want to share a few names of places/services I have found to be AWESOME.

Maybe others can reply on this thread and we can all learn some new places to visit.


Ok. Here is my start

Camballa- home decor section. Love it!

Alternate meta verse - amazing freebies for fantasy landscaping

Flora - I love landscaping and this place is well organized

Houses - on AMV region. Massive selection of houses, tree houses, castles

Neiferleaf - this medieval region comes to life with detailed landscaping and Roland’s beautiful horses.

Agora - I need a semi truck for all the awesome clothing I find there

The rainforest is a lush, green paradise filled with an incredible diversity of flora and fauna. As you ride your horse through the dense foliage, you'll be surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. You might spot colorful birds flying overhead, hear the calls of howler monkeys, and catch glimpses of exotic plants and flowers.

As you venture deeper into the rainforest, you might encounter light showers or drizzles. This is common in tropical rainforests, and the rain adds to the magical ambiance of the environment. The canopy of trees will provide some shelter from the rain, but you may also appreciate the refreshing sensation of riding through the gentle rainfall.

After a thrilling ride, you'll eventually reach the cool waterfall. The sound of rushing water will grow louder as you approach, and the anticipation will build. Once you arrive, you'll be greeted by a breathtaking sight: a majestic waterfall cascading down from above into a sparkling pool below. The area around the waterfall might be lush and green, creating a peaceful oasis. It is a perfect day!
