💗Thank you @CherryManga💗 Each piece you create challenges the norms and brings a new perspective that is thought-provoking.

New release of v3.2 the animesh horse script (can be worn or rezzed as vehicle) and optimized it for PBR viewer compatibility. I did some efforts to make the script more ubOde friendly (yes, with room for improvement) and the horse now has many new features for you to play with.

A better alternative to Mixxx, winamp, & Butt. If you want to play music in dreamgrid, this is the way to go. I use XMPlay to play the mp3's. You just put a bunch of music in a folder, then in XMPlay select the folder, click the repeat button and you are done. XMPlay is very very very tiny and uses very few cpu resources, unlike mixxx and winamp and others. You may notice in the back of XMPlay im using an encoder, it's called AltaCast. AltaCast picks up the sound from XMPlay and sends it right on over to iceCast which is built into the dreamgrid package. AltaCast however, is another free download, again it is very tiny and uses very little cpu.
In my opinion, you want fast tiny programs, b/c it leaves more cpu for running sims, and frees up a lot more ram which is what avatars visiting your grid need. So with this simple combination it's a win win. It works perfect and is flawless, i never have to restart it or have any problems out of it, and i've been using it 24/7/365. I love it.

Explore the cemetery area at Lunaria Emporium. Click the Gothic sign in the lobby to experience a truly dark and mysterious build, and make sure Shared Environment and sounds are turned on. Featured on Octoberworld on Kitely by Storylink Radio.

Lydia Deetz, our enigmatic NPC, vanished in a burst of dark energy, her form dissolving as if swallowed by the shadows she had always been so drawn to. But the darkness was not her end—it was a gateway. Moments later, she reappeared in a different realm, her eyes filled with the knowledge of the in-between, her spirit rekindled. She lived again, more attuned to the strange and supernatural, with a deeper understanding of the secrets that only death and rebirth could reveal. Is it possible for an NPC to teleport? Yes but the true question is how did Lydia make her way to the door that visits God and gives her life? Ferd went to that door last night to teleport down to main sim and it was "stuck" so he investigated to see that our dear Lydia was there in the coffin alive again and stuck there in the coffin. When he reset her the teleport worked again. We have a true paranormal event that happened here Mwaaahaaha because I only placed this NPC in Beetlegeuse house and the Coffee shop. We are actually being haunted by Lydia how cool is that? 👁️👁️

As you step into the Witchy Woods, an otherworldly hush envelops you, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and ancient pine. Gnarled branches twist overhead, their silhouettes dancing against the pale light filtering through the canopy. Shafts of sunlight pierce the gloom, illuminating patches of vibrant moss and clusters of mushrooms that seem to glow with an ethereal light.

The path winds deeper into the heart of the woods, where shadows play tricks on your senses. You catch fleeting glimpses of movement—a flicker of a tail, a flash of feathers—as woodland creatures slip between the trees, their presence both comforting and eerie. The sound of a distant brook murmurs like a secret, drawing you further into the labyrinth of nature.

Every step reveals more of the woods’ haunting beauty. Delicate webs glisten with dew, suspended like jewels between the branches, while the soft rustle of leaves carries whispers of forgotten tales. Twisted roots snake across the forest floor, inviting you to pause and consider the stories they hold, as if the very ground is alive with memories.

A sense of magic hangs in the air, tangible and electric, making the hairs on your arms stand on end. The woods feel like a realm where time bends, a place where the mundane slips away and the mysterious reigns. You can almost hear the soft strains of an unseen melody, a lullaby sung by the woods themselves, beckoning you to lose yourself in their enchanting embrace. As twilight deepens, the shadows stretch and flicker, transforming the landscape into a dreamscape, where every rustle and sigh feels like a promise—of secrets waiting to be uncovered, of wonders yet to be revealed.

The Haunted Halloween Isles are a series of islands created by Zuzu Bahro and Safine Mahoe for your Halloween fun!


Zombie Hunt - This year the Zombies want revenge at the hunters from previous years and have set traps amongst the barren, desolate ruins and lava pools. You begin to panic as you suddenly realize these are not simply mindless creatures, but a remnant of humanity that had retained a dark intelligence. You will not get out alive!

Pumpkin Patch- This Island offers the vibrant autumn colors and a huge assortment of pumpkins and fall decorating ideas for you. Enjoy the scenic walk as the red, and golden leaves fall from the trees. You will find pumpkins and Jack o lanterns of every size and shape.


Friends Castle - Explore all the rooms in this historic castle and find the exciting adult spots with your partner. Later, you can head up to the towers to enjoy shooting the pirates village with cannons. Right click on the cannons, Mount and then click each cannon in the battery. The targets will explode when enough damage occurs.


Haunted Forest - The forest is beautiful, but the other worldly creatures have turned it into a place that will give you nightmares! You will find some fun adult spots in the haunted forest if you dare!



Friendsville Cemetery - A beautiful little peaceful village situated on an island . The scenery is charming with the church, lighthouse and much more; however, something is mysterious at the cemetery.


Ghost Town - This ancient port town has been taken over by ghosts! Under the town is a huge 3 level cave complex for the brave explorers. Make your way outside to the Gardens of Ghosts and use midnight setting

Witchy Woods - you will follow the winding path through the woods and up the mountain to reach the coven of witches. At the mountain top home you will find a whole community of witches as well as huds.



*Please realize we have allowed sharing on many of the items; but a few items we cannot.

The Lotus Club is now available at the Emporium! Modeled after the original club at Luxor, this one comes fully loaded with accessories and can be modified and copied. The base size is 160m x 110m. Click on the Egyptian sign in the lobby to get to the display area.

Teaching myself pbr materials. Very different process to get those materials into OS. This is the clearest comparison yet of the difference between legacy materials and pbr materials. The one on the left was the best I was able to do with regular materials using only the original diffuse, normal, and specular textures. The one on the right uses all the original textures and shows them correctly.

The Pacific Northwest is home to the Cannabis Information Center, an engaging and interactive outdoor venue brought to you by Leafly with permission. Nestled within a natural, woodsy setting, the center features informative displays housed in charming gazebos, offering visitors a welcoming and immersive experience.

Pick up your Gummy Garden gummies, and other gifts!

A question I often get asked is, "Why are some OARS exclusive for Dreamgridders only, I thought this was a free and opensource platform with sharing?" Yes it is however, the reason some OARs are exclusive to DreamGrid users is that they contain purchased items with licenses that must be respected. Or the Creators of these OARS only offered them to Dreamgridders it is their license to share with us exclusively. By limiting the distribution of these OARs to the DreamGrid platform, we ensure that we are honoring those licensing agreements.
