    Heads Up (lol) - free AK head

    I want to try other heads because it is one thing I don't like with Lake, the eyelids. So far, I found no one.

    Lake has a bit of strongness and it is a longer head than most female ones. Maybe I should try the unisex head.

    I've been wearing (mostly) Lake for a good year or so, I agree about the stronger appearance. This AK head is somewhat similar, more angular. I do prefer heads that are less typically feminine. Also why I liked the Genus Strong Face but well we know that has it's problems now. The AK is a good choice and since I can use EvoX on it, I think I'm going to keep playing with it for a while.

    As an user of loads of Akeruka heads, it has it quirks: First off, always reset skeleton when you have put on the head, but that is a bit common action taken with each time you swap from head to head, even in the same brand.

    Secondary: to keep your eyes fixed or not following your cursor while taking pics, there are mood settings for the eyes in the animation tab of the hud, see picture. Also, only use the full face mocap with with neck and auto activated.

    Third: possible clipping issues eyelids with the rigged eyes: edit shape, tab eyes, set depth of eyes between 20 & 25, set pluffiness between 90 & 100.

    Thank you! I missed that tab when looking through the HUD!

    I'll try the other tips too. Great advice.

    Yes, I think I derendered 100% of plants in the Elm store. Did you find some goodies in the Nature hunt? Outdoor furniture, plants?

     

    Hit or miss for sure. The stuff below is what I'll keep. Lots I'm trashing due to low quality or not needed. A lot of junky artwork. Some items with really old texturing. But still was worth going for exploring purposes. My favorite was the Ocean Center - you MUST walk through the caverns and head downwards because way way down deep it's freaking amazing! Very detailed ocean experience. Oh and free scuba gear available too.

    Love - the aforementioned arbor. I like this alot.

    Eternal Retreat - Pretty nice garden statue; waterfall also but it's really old looking and could create one better out of Studio Skye pieces LOL

    JE de Natura - Tabletop pine tree set, would be great later in the year for mantles also. Has 2 versions of a dining table with an animated river running through it. I kind of like it though the wood texture could be better - maybe it can be fixed. Also a Twig console type table in a few versions. Not my thing but probably good for a nature inspired home/cabins

    The Lost Unicorn - Very cute cloche style "terrarrium" with a unicorn and pine forest in it but...17 prims. WTF? How unfortunate.

    Steele's - Wood French Easel, animated. This is a nice item, 4 prims. 

    DC Echo - Coffee tray, nice but not like I don't have others.

    Lone Tree Yoga - Buddha statue with candle and owl incense burner. I like these. I use a lot of Asian items in my landscaping/homes.

    Mainland Community Alliance - travel suitcase w/lantern on top. Good decor piece.

    Windy Peak - Cottagecore Wood Stump Art - Very basic, but kind of cute. Another cabin/woodsy decor item

    What the Buzz - Bee inspired items, journal (wear), Save the Bees sign which I'll def use in my garden.

    Yosemite, had a hiker's backpack there that has a ton of interesting & fun items in it.  EDIT: Not sure why but every time I clicked on an item in the box it disappeared. Maybe a SL glitch? Will have to log out and see if that resolves.

    There's 3 places I could not find the items, may or may not go back.

    After my not-so good hunt yesterday, I saw Konoha in Nature Collective’s 2023 Spring/Summer Hunt, and went over there in just seconds. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Whitlock/137/175/2600

    Konoha has so lovely plants, and they did not disappoint.

    PS: I did not have to look very long, the umbrella gives a hint when you click it. And if you know how Magnolia flowers look like, you find the prize easy. "Let me shine on the magnolias hidden by the maple ♥"

    The price is a fatpack of Cosmos in a light yellow color. Lots of parts, 1-2 Li each. The huge filler (front right) is only 1 Li. One of the plant groups appeared to have weaker Lod, the flowers disappeared faster. I use Lod 2.125 here, and they are holding up good enough for me. I have not rezzed all the shapes, it is even more. Curves and lines and lumps.

    But wait! The container the yellow Cosmos fatpack comes in, is pink/white Cosmos, that I totally prefer. And the container can be edited, so you get 3 groups of pink/white Cosmos, 1 Li each, rectangular flower bed, grass patches and a cluster of rocks. All one Li.

    cosmo_004.png.da8562e6eb0fdb4926b51b767fca7ea9.png

    The flower bed, rocks and grass can be resized big. I stopped stretching the grass here, it is only 0.7 download. So it can be bigger, or you can stop at this size and link two, making one Li.

    The front flower bed, and rocks in the back, is stretched max to stay 1 Li.

    Here is the list over participants with locations. https://naturecollectivesl.com/spring-summer-hunt-2023/

    Scroll down and see if you know more great finds, I only recognize the Konoha brand.

    Thanks for this tip, did not even occur to me to utilize the packaging!

    Here's something you might want to look for from that Hunt, it's from Love. Nice floral arch, 1 prim!

    I love this hunt.  Not so much for the prizes, as for the beautiful places to visit.  I did it last year and I think out of all the sites, I only got a couple of useful prizes, but it was worth it just to visit 

    This is a really nice hunt and I agree prizes are hit or miss but the sims included are really stunning nature inspired. 

    Most things were easy enough to find though there are 3 places I just couldn't manage and moved on.  I forgot which one it was, but you had to find a faun and there were several hidden in the forest thickets. I started just derendering a ton of plants/trees etc. to find what I was looking for. Finally, found the right faun so deeply hidden I honestly don't think I would have managed to find it if not for getting rid of all those bushes and trees!

    Merak is really high Li yes. 15 Li for that table?? 👀

    Yikes.

    It is not a sale, but I will give Bazar a friendly nod here. They can make low Li furniture, and make it look good. I wish they had sales more often, hehe. The few times thay have a sale, it is only on selected items. But I have been burnt so many times, I have been buying cheap, and can't use it because the Li is too high.

    All items are available for purchase separately in world. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/BAZARSunset-Dining-set/22877310

    Speaking of Bazar, in the inworld "Outlet" section, there's a bunch of items set to only 65L for entire sets. Not vouching for prim count etc but if someone is looking for inexpensive ways to furnish a home, worth checking it out.

    We get so used to being surrounded by objects in most sims in SL. You're really creative in using wide open space, open space is liberating and humbling at the same time.  I'd love to visit your sim.

    Thank you. It is a work in progress. I don't log in daily so it's more as the mood hits me. I garden in RL but small property so SL affords me a way to be more creative than I'm able to in RL.

    We prefer to keep our home private, however, if you'd like to visit, my partner and I have been hosting monthly music events on our land.

    The next one is 3/18/23. You can get details from Ghosty Kip's profile inworld.

    Good morning, afternoon or evening!

    Ghosty will be spinning later today 2/11/23 at 5pm SL at our homeland. Very casual, monthly get-together for anyone looking for something to do for an hour or so. All welcome!

    Join us under the big tree for an evening of progressive rock!

    Music from the 1970s (mostly) including Crimson, ELP, Yes, Camel, U.K. and so much more. Grow your hair out, don your bell-bottoms and enjoy an evening of "ambitious compositions, experimentation, concept-driven lyrics, and musical virtuosity".

    Dress warm, it's still winter!
