Any plans for the content offered at Welcome? Like all the clothes?
Granted, what Alia Soulstar has put up was gathered together throughout the Hypergrid. A lot of mesh clothes, including all male mesh clothes, are from Klamotto and not necessarily clean, although some are. But while the male layer clothes are all standard Linda Kellie fare that can still easily be found elsewhere, the female layer clothes installed by Alia seem to have all become exclusives to 3RG Welcome meanwhile, especially the underwear and the swimsuits.
And then there are Dawn Greymyst's boxes, especially the Clutterfly mesh clothes with HUD-controlled custom textures. It'd be a pity to see them go to waste when the grid shuts down.
Yes, they aren't the newest hotness. Yes, they aren't rigged for the hottest SL mesh bodies, at least not all of them. Yes, many consider layer clothes outdated. Yes, some call for all content older than a few months to be thrown out of all shops on the Hypergrid. And yes, some still call for a total boycott of any and all content related to Linda Kellie.
But then there are those who refuse to put anything illegal on their avatars. Finding clothes and accessories that are both legal and fit sufficiently well on legal mesh bodies is detective work and often requires sheer luck.
I've seen too much old but legal and still useful content vanish for good when sims shut down, when grids shut down or when sims were rebuilt. It hurts even more if you never even had the chance to pick up the sales boxes and save them which is the case at 3RG Welcome.
So I hope that at least the clean and exclusive stuff will be saved and offered someplace else.

FYI: Outworldz has loads of brick textures waiting to be used.
I haven't tested the normal maps that were probably generated from the textures yet, but they're there. A few brick textures even come with "hand-made" normal maps and specular maps.

Do you need something to generate NPC-defining notecards from an avatar?
Valerie NatureInSim has something that can do that at ValLands. https://opensimworld.com/hop/89519
Or do you need something to automatically rez moving NPCs?
Then maybe SFposer can cover that, developed by OSW's owner, Satyr Aeon. https://opensimworld.com/library?view=44 It's basically a sit animation controller very similar to PMAC, basically something like AVsitter if you're more familiar with that. But it can go way beyond PMAC and AVsitter in its possibilites while being more lightweight than both.

Thank you so much :) I am learning by trial and error. I have found that I can take some of the animesh and change or add to their scripts with some thing I have in i nventory. That works OK but a bit limited. I want to be able to make NPC from Avitars and be able to have them Do different things . Say Belly dance but it is several of the animations rather than one. As I said so far it has been all trial and error. I do like the idea of being able to control them. I have a Genie bottle that I can create a copy of my Avi and rezz her but Can't do anything else' She "Breathes " but that is about it. I picked up the Action NPC thing yesterday and the NPC appearance card maker. I THOUGHT I had it all figured out but back to square 1 *sighs

The other system I mentioned which is just a bunch of scripts from outworldz will allow you to generate the appearance from your avatar, then using the inbuilt recorder you can make it walk from where it spawns to a location then play animations or sit on objects. You can program it to say things, and change its outfit if you made more then one appearance note card.
You could make it walk into a changing room, then change into a new outfit, then walk back out and do something else.
When you have recorded a list if things for it to do, I will put the list in a note card and you can then see how the commands work, and add some more without having to rerecord the whole thing. All the commands were on the website i linked to.
in the end I found it easier to just write out the note card manually if it didn't involve making a path to walk along.
I ultimately ended up using the chat command script to listen for commands, and made a script say things to control the NPC. I made a script with a sensor to detect when an avatar was nearby and the script would say a bunch of commands to make the NPC do stuff.
NPC's are frustrating to figure out, but its quite satisfying when you finally get them to do things in a convincing manor.

It is all so very interesting. I love learning new things. This that you are speaking of now sounds like what I am looking for. I need several NPC's all different But that is just my Avi changing. Different themes, Holidays and what have you.
Thank you so much :)

This is not only about what Patch Linden has allegedly done. This is about the existence of sexual ageplay in Second Life itself which has been spoken about outside the SL bubble for the first time.
SL users are now ramping up their fight against sexual ageplay, also because Linden Lab obviously doesn't do jack against it.
OpenSim users feel like they have to do the same, also because there's no Linden Lab ruling over and overseeing all of OpenSim which is entirely governed by its own community. It's up to them and only them to combat sexual ageplay because they can't ask anyone else to do that for them.
This, in turn, will lead to a whole lot more collateral damage of which many more will claim it isn't collateral in the first place.
Child avatars will be more and more suspicious and banned from more and more places.
The Adult rating will be re-defined as "G-rated, but no child avatars allowed" more and more to the point that especially newbies will think this definition is official and end up deeply disturbed when they come across naked avatars on Adult sims.
Also, the criteria of what makes an avatar "underage-looking", which are ridiculous already now in the long-standing anti-ageplay paranoia, will be raised. I mean, sim owners already kick and ban avatars not only for being under 1.70m, but for having freckles or too small boobs or for wearing the wrong hairstyle, too brightly coloured clothes or too much pink without being a Jessica Biatchi look-alike. Many more sim owners will do this, they'll raise the minimum avatar height regardless of looks otherwise, and they'll add more criteria on top. I expect 6" heels and an even larger minimum breast size to become mandatory for female avatars in the near future as well as a deep suntan for both sexes.

Unfortunately, unless sim owners use a completely warped definition of what's "underage-looking" and what isn't. Already now, female avatars are considered underage if they wear too bright colours, or if they've got freckles, probably even if they're wearing flat sneakers instead of the usual 6' spike heels.

or are under 7' (2,13m) tall. I've had some trouble in a few places because my avatar is only 5' 6" (1,52m) despite her rather prominent chest!

There's a shop named Costume Rental at Needful Things in Pangea. The door is at ca. 77/73, that's in the western half of the first parallel street to where you land. Use the teleporter to go one floor up. There's a box with five textures which seem to be original Cornflakes textures; one is a double (2 and 4 are the same). I've used the same textures for my furniture.

There are simply terribly intolerant people in OpenSim who claim the exclusive privilege for themselves to decide who and what may exist in OpenSim and who and what must not.
If they don't like someone or something, no matter why, they pull all stops they can to rid OpenSim of them or it once and for all with the most extreme prejudice. Attacking every last post or comment of a user on OSW, manipulation or destruction of websites, manipulation or destruction of grids, DDoS attacks, infiltration of grids and circles of friends, lies and slander, even psychological terror all the way to bluntly trying to drive a person to suicide. And I'm not even making the latter up.
In this light, it's always nice to see users who, in spite of all their enemies' on-going attempts at destroying them, don't back down and carry on.

Have you even read the sim description?
Dismayland is not Lbsa Plaza and doesn't want to be Lbsa Plaza. Spax Orion banned avatars wearing mesh ABSOLUTELY DELIBERATELY with the VERY INTENTION to make their travels unpleasant. This is a DESIGN FEATURE. All the way to the perma-ban if you do try to enter the sim wearing mesh.
Complaining that you can't go to Dismayland with a mesh avatar is like complaining that Savvy or Wright Plaza doesn't offer the newest, hottest Legacy stuff or that people go naked at Stark.
