Whoever reads this thread will decide not to use SL as alternative reality to meet. There is plenty of choice in platforms with less drama.

Yes they rule out 60+ so mean. I'm a light one though, weight and age below 60. 70 is the new 40 where I come from.

Bought Slink Physique a few months ago and will not be switching in a while. Might buy the petite add on one day but I guess I will have to be able to make my own clothing by then...

The Sea Dome anno 2020 I was laughing so hard seeing I was 12 days on SL when I posted it all. Memories came up and I laughed some more. So I went back to see if it was still worthwhile. I decided to take a random TP from the board. What happened next was SO frightening... this monster coming up on me... fameless death by monster... I cried HELP in a friend's IM. Upon her arrival I calmed down a bit and I knew I could NOT drop this thread, because a new adventure was born. Just click somewhere in the middle of the map or on this LM: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Blake Tortuga/46/115/8 and join me to MEET the KRAKON ! And the LAVA Monster! An un-expected Adventure created by ALEY ! ❤️ JaJa 2020

The future is almost now. Get ready or not it will happen anyway. Normally ppl work one season ahead.

At least you answer super quick! I will consider it.

Maybe. Are you a good parent?

Yes great place, I have not seen all of it by far. I did find a sweet shop with some animations gift. Love your pictures!

Neverdie A pirate's fantasy 10th and last-but-not-least newby friendly SIM on my list. The tier and content are adult. The sphere is welcoming and free. ''Welcome to Neverdie Paradise. You are the honored guest of DW Diavolo. Please feel free to explore and enjoy this little piece of the Florida Keys. I ask you to be considerate of others. Skyboxes are strictly private.'' DW Diavolo The story says I crashed on Neverdie while testing my little plane and Neverleft for a while. The mornings started with a quick wash and a strong breakfast. On a normal day I would guard my newfound treasures, chat with the birds and check the pools for leftover food and clothing. I often watched fireworks all evening and also payed visits to some neighbours. I should mention dear 12. She really likes company and the way she serves beer can make a pirate drink about anything. Do not mention the rum and she may even give you a hug. I finally left in one of the old rowing boats, hoping nobody would miss it ... and well, if so, feel free to use my old plane as shelter.

Lovely!

It took some effort to find your place, when I searched maps for ''no salvation'' I ended up in some Anglican Salvation Church. After that I googled it and found a shop, I went there and stepped of the shop's land then flew down to entrance of a castle. I hope it is indeed your castle... if not please give the landmark for yours. You were not there... Will return... http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dragon Rose Isle/78/150/21

And finally I found my Haven. All the way north, looked like my favorite sim here. Full of nice views, relaxing - not too claustrofobic. Good spending time as SL tourist. But I found there's definitely something dark going on... will have to return for further investigation! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Haven Shire/123/44/23 <3 JaJa

Raglan Shire, a ''tiny'' exploration A kind friend offered me a TP to this world. A cluster of 8 ''tiny'' sims: Raglan Shire, Haven Shire, Galaxy, Raglan Commons, Morning Shire, Heron Shire, Athen Shire and Gullwing Coast. The tier is general and my explored area's are family friendly. Let's start with a free tiny avatar! Free Tiny Avatars: - The chubby penguin I used is available on marketplace: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Chubby-Penguin-avatar-FREE/2223794- The very recommendable San Jose shop has several avatars and clothing: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SJSU SLIS/207/202/32 In the Raglan cluster itself: - The Welcome Center at Raglan Central has two avatars: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Raglan Shire/106/200/59 - Willow Creek at Raglan Commons has an avatar and a clothing set: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Raglan Commons/21/103/22 A sidenote about the "JaJa" tag Now that I am at SIM 9/10 and about to make a detour to favorite freebee item(s) I feel I should explain here my use of the "JaJa" tag. In my first language JaJa means YesYes. On here it stands for my original struggle as noob account not a week old, but with intention to get to the core right away. No time for classes or groups or casual chats. Go right away where you came for, do not wait to become experienced in SL. I am coming out with a list of 10 SIMs for noobs as me to visit where you can autodidact your own way into SL without getting instant-infected by the complications many old accounts suffer from. For the list ofcourse just click my tag. The JaJa tag in short means you DO NOT NEED: - SL age - SL Lindens - change standard avatar, viewer or settings - high performance PC - enter groups or interact with people beyond your personal choice My route thru the Raglan Cluster: I took the cross-sim Balloon from Raglan Shire hub for a first overall sight. You might have to wait a bit, but then it comes, be awake and hop on a free toadstool seat. Passing Galaxy Island. Self proclaimed surfer´s heaven, but all surfers must be dead now, either by Tsunami or by shark attack... I did not gamble my life this time, I'll just dare others to add an action picture this time. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Raglan Galaxy/124/131/22 Next stop is Raglan Commons. Despite it being tennants land, it is very welcoming to tourists. Do explore by bubble! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Raglan Commons/235/174/23 Passing Heron Shire. Had to run for my life after accidently opening the bridge! I made a tour on a very cute duck to recover before I moved on. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Heron Shire/160/207/22 t.b.c.

Cloud Nine Gardens of Grace A group of islands with stunning nature and covered in so-subtle animation spots. I felt at home within a couple of minutes. Most spots are romantic, but some are real funny and there's also Tai Chi and Lotus. The tier is moderate, but it is also a Memorial SIM so rules apply: Aridis Inaka's 'Crow Bot : Welcome to Gardens of Grace. Please feel at home and respect those visiting this sim. Absolutly no nudity and no solliciting. Thank you. When I arrived it was dark night so I waited... And when the lights grew strong again I went back to the entrance for my Rose Petal Ride. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cloud Nine/128/128/34 Afterwards I got lost but Sim Guardian Maleficent helped me out very kindly. <3 JaJa

Found it. It has nice views and sphere! To be honest I should not go there when drunk, most first option clicks spawn buy popup screens. Good luck with the community

Took me some effort to refind it. But once I found it back, it was actually simple: all the way east. And I have to add a warning for new accounts! One place though I can't find back, it a beach with a little house and some laundry hanging in front of it. I think I got there after falling in water which I tried to escape walking instead of tp out. The ''visit location'' goes to a big shop in city area.

Village of Ahiru Edo Japan Sim Lovely retreat place, adapted to renters AND tourists. Read rules at entrance or just don't go in houses with a tennant mailbox. Lots of other things to find. The tier is moderate. No flying. Teleports are only possible thru the SIM Map. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ahiru/64/44/2502 I first helped out the locals repairing their fishing nets. They gave me tea and a bath, good trade! Then, near the end, pink blossoms and birds whistling, wouldn't this be the meaning of life? So glad I found the sim still in spring and I want to see all the other seasons. Landscaper Hatsumomo: I love managing Ahiru SIM and changing the seasons. I hope you enjoy the various spaces I make there. Seeing people spend time in them is one of the greatest rewards! <3 JaJa

Very convincing SIM, thanks for the tip. I got totally lost (which I like) and also found some outer area's. Will definitely return.

Went to the place, love it! We also found that golden dancing Palace and danced the old jazz-blues. Maximum lag though for my PC as I also made pics and had forum open...

Moonglow Castle Mahulu, vulcanic environment, cycles for day-night, sunny-misty, sun-moon. General tier. Moonglow castle, so much to see inside, take your time for every step. Sensitive souls should take someone to hold their hand. It can be so bloodchilling... http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mahulu/68/40/90 Afterwards dance off that chill at Hell's Gate. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mahulu/201/120/86 Quote from Owner Sin Speculaas' profile, by James Michener: "The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, he simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.''

Da Vinci Gardens General tier, romance-themed, filled with castles, spectacular nature, nice content and other people. My favorite for the great choice in tours and the Space-Disco. I started on a very high tower, if you follow: enjoy the view and do not forget to check that ceiling! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kalepa/210/132/63 Then... jump down for a tour. Dragon, gondola, feet. ***** Some other realms of the Da Vinci Gardens: Egypt Plenty guided tours and a quest; I won Lindens and died on a pile of skulls. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kalepa/95/125/1965 Winterworld A very white world. So many castles. Animals too. Slayride and skating! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kalepa/203/122/2802 Ancient Realm Do fly with the owl. A river and again many castles. Picknicks! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kalepa/196/60/2238 Renaissance More castles, rose gardens, dancing halls en swings! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kalepa/209/102/25 Atlantis Ride a seahorse or dance like one. It is also very mermaid-friendly. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kalepa/60/4/3 Then finally DISCO in SPACE. Dance !!! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kalepa/184/233/495 <3 JaJa

Went for a quick look. Found a pod-tour so after some attempts I managed to hop on and saw the area rezzing as I went thru. I will have to come back here another time, cause I fell asleep somewhere.
