Ok, I'm either a bit dim and/or impatient, but I couldn't figure out how to have a 24 hour day EEP with sun up, sun down, night, etc. that also has the setting of 'foggy' that I like, I guess when you choose a setting like 'foggy', thats the name of the windlight, it overrides the natural setting of the sun going up and under.
So it seems like either my sim is 24 hours Foggy or have realistic sun movements but I want both!
Could someone explain to this eejit how I can have a setting that looks like it's winter, nice cold light, bit foggy perhaps, like the already existing setting called 'foggy', AND a realistic 24 hour setting with sun rise, noon, sun set, night, etc.?

It also wasn't very funny, perhaps even a tat irritating.
While watching the video all I could think about was about how much better Torley was at making these kinds of videos.

I'm afraid you'll have to put on something 1920s and struggle through the city to get there
Follow Unter den Linden, go under the Brandenburg gate, there it will be.

Jo, I saw your displeasured emoticon. I must tell you, I was just being hyperbolic and silly. I've visited your sims before and thought about renting a room. I do however think overall we need to pay more attention to nature, in real and virtual worlds.
No worries, I wasn't sending goons over to break your kneecaps... just yet
But check out Tiergarten Park in Berlin, it is 3 full regions next to the city with just nature and a few villas.
Oh we also have a sort of lake beach.But it is rather cold now, as our sim has the 4 seasons.

Yes, of course. But in fairness, 1920s Berlin has been around for (almost) forever. But you indirectly make a good point: Jo has been very good at promoting her sim.

As a test, who has heard of Jo Yardley's regions, the first of which was 1920s ( I think) Berlin?
Those are really amazing, esp if you are a history lover.I have, I hear it is a stinky, bohemian place full of drunks and perverts.
PS if you love history, also check out my other sim Time Portal-

"Another idea I have is a bit of an ego related one.
How about we make it visible in people’s profile that they’re premium members!
Lots of people like this, perhaps as a bit of a status symbol. (I dont like it personally)Followed by...
"Ok this is a mean one… how about we add ‘Allow only premium members’ to region settings…
People could start clubs and sims that only premium members would have access to"How would the basics see a shiny badge if they are restricted from a premium area using the allow premium members only option. (I'd be keen for a option to click on land tab though for premium accounts only entry. Bye trolls lol).
The badge would be seen in the profile so they'd see it when looking up someone's profile.
They'd also meet premium members when they mingle in non premium only regions.
Surely there would be plenty of sims left premiums would like to visit!
I doubt many regions would go premiums-only. -
I got some of my ideas and some of your ideas and put them in a blog;
Premium accounts and how to make them (even) more appealing-

I agree, if I had the time, I'd provide you with one

This. I have been preaching exactly this now for the longest time. It started when they released mesh. Before that anyone could come to SL and start developing immediately using the in world tools provided. Even sculpture developers created sculpt packs that other developers could texture and mix up to create something new and unique. These days however it’s a market filled with 798373 versions of the same item with the top tier developers monopolising content and a distinct lack of potential developers due to the sheer learning curve now required to simply create say...a top. I love mesh, but I do miss the pre mesh days when everyone would have a go at creating, not just the select few and when there was more diversity than there is now
I agree, I'm lucky to have found inworld mesh tools or I would have been doomed years ago.
3d software makes my brain cry.
I tried to tell LL to make this mesh creation stuff part of their software, it would allow everyone to still create stuff with regular prims but then turn them into mesh. -

Both Drax and Jo are schmos, but reasonably prominent ones, Drax particularly.
Are you calling me stupid?

Seriously though, I think it is great to show a few of Drax his videos about the people in SL here, but perhaps the title 'Social' is not quite what people might expect.

- Social .. seems not to give any information about the social aspects of SL. Where are all the pictures of groups of people being social. Why isn't this page just titled "YOU CAN MAKE FRIENDS HERE". Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Jo Yardley is a wonderful person, but I've never even met her in SL. Now I'm just wondering, is this just a badly titled quest .. To find the social, one must first find @Jo Yardley for she has the answers.
Just for the record, I am a wonderful person and I do have the answers.

you can switch that on and off for roles, and so send to the selected only, same with joining in chat ( at least that is how it is intended, didn't use it in years)
Yes but that is a lot of hassle and my idea would be to make that a lot easier.
With sub-groups you don't need to do that and you could easily chat/send notes with any type of role in your group and even have chat windows open with several roles at once. -

you can send notices to certain role only... always been there
That is how you stop certain members of your group from sending or receiving notices, it won't allow you to send notes or chat with just some people in your group.

I wonder what the average number of groups needed is for RPs, music venues, and whatever else is out there that needs multiple groups to make up for the lack of roles available. Last RPs I was involved in required a rough average of 3-5 each usually consisting of (at least) the main group, "faction/guild" group, land group and for those who were mods, the mod group. The music venues we had and the ones I've worked at were about the same in number.
I'm not sure what the average number is but for Berlin we're coming close to TWENTY, if not more.
And we also use facebook a lot.
If we had more roles and perhaps the option to start a chat and/or send messages/notes to only one role in stead of to everyone in a group, we'd probably only need two or three groups.
The number of members of our main group wouldn't change.-

sim owners and estate managers have concierge support, thats a little different than basic
That's what I mean.
Live chat support is really quite handy if you own land.-

After all the kerfuffle regarding premium accounts, I started thinking about how they could be made more appealing.
Some of the current benefits aren't that appealing to many, some only to a few.
What would you like to see offered, what would make you become a premium member right away? -

Rough guesstimate from various sources is approx. 60,000. I truly do not remember where that figure was first mentioned, but it was sometime in the previous year.
If (big if because I can't numbers myself out of a paperbag) I understood correctly there are more than 60.000 unique landowners on the Mainland, these would all HAVE to be premium account holders.
But this number doesn't take into account the people who are premium members but don't own Mainland land or people who are premium account holders but who own private regions, like myself.
Source; https://www.virtualverse.one/forums/threads/mainland-census-jan-2019.1676/So the number could be a lot higher seeing as people become premium for all sorts of reason, not always just to own land.

Private region owners don’t have to be Premium.
True if you don't buy on the mainland but you really do need that chat support as a landowner, in my experience anyway.

Everyone who owns land in SL has to be a premium member, so there are at least 60.000 people paying LL these fees, which is a nice pile of dosh.
However if you own land quite a few of the perks automatically lose its shine.
I got regions and homesteads, I don't need a home, mainland space, access to premium areas, etc.
And with having to pay hundreds of RL dollars towards tier every month, L$300 a week isn't something to write home about.
But I've been raised to never look a gift horse in the mouth so... wait... oops, too late

Orphanage in 1920s Berlin opening under new management.
in Roleplay Regions & Groups
Posted
The orphanage in 1920s Berlin is re-opening under new management!
Join us today for the opening at 1pm SLT:
https://www.facebook.com/events/1109697289715956
If you're a kid looking for a place to stay in SL and are interested in history and think 1920s Berlin might be your cup of tea, come on over.
We do have a strict 1920s dresscode but t only adds to the atmosphere in the sim and our community has been around for over 13 years, so if you find a home, it will be one for ever :)
