Dearest Lovelies, I write to you with greatest love and hope you are keeping safe in these uncertain times. I am currently venturing out with my pug, Puga-chanelle, visiting sites of our future estate. I wish to build a sim where new arrivals don't have to worry about being homeless or alone in this vast world of Second Life. The sim will consists of a team that will reside within the sim and aide the new arrivals as they blossom. But in order to make this dream become reality, I will need a team. I would love to come together with a designers, managers, and team players in order to discuss this idea in greater detail. As soon as I can get the team build started, we would work on how this system would work and eventually gradual linden donations. The idea came to fruition when I decided to come back to Second Life and had to learn everything the difficult way. Sure, Youtube is really a great source however, it is better if the user is shown in-world with guidance and a friendly face. Who knows? Perhaps we will make a friend in the end. Let's make Second Life more open to those that gladly decided to join us. And with that, my dearest lovelies, lets meet up for coffee and bon-bons. *°:⋆ₓₒ　Vanity Darlington　ₓₒ⋆:°*

I'm curious to know the planning process behind creating a sim. Specifically the layout. I see some amazing community sims and I'm just like, "Where did you even begin to start making something as intricate as this; how do you turn a blank sim with nothing on it into something like this?" I'm someone who's always struggled with composition and layout and can't make a pretty sim unless I have a map or reference pictures of rl places so I can replicate it in second life. It's the same thing with other games like sims and animal crossing: new horizons. My island on animal crossing looks like an actual hot mess. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to get better at this. Do you guys draw out a layout for where you're going to place buildings etc for your sims. Is there a program that makes creating maps easy? Like a program where you're just like "Ok I want a house in this exact spot, and a river in this spot, etc." I haven't come across anything like this but I would love to give something like this a try.

Alright, lets talk about Bellisseria roads and road vehicles for a second. We all have seen nicely done boat rez zones conveniently placed around the continent. They all have reazonable space and are clearly marked to let everyone know you can rez your water vehicle there. We have also seen couple air strips appearing in the area, each one with their own dedicated rez zone for aircrafts (not clearly maked but atleast they are there), but lets talk about Road vehicles and road rez zones... Bellisseria has a problem with road vehicles rez zones. Current road rez zones seems to be placeholder or temporary solutions. They are all currenly found on undeveloped regions arround the developed areas, nothing in between. They are also lacking any kind of marking to let people know of their existance. Newly developed areas seems to also not take vehicle rez zones in consideration as there is none to be found to the date of this post. I am personally hoping that these rez zones has their own space on the developers list of things to have as road vehicles are certainly important when the continent has so much space dedicated to roads alone, and a large community with big interest for road vehicles. Let's make sure they are not forgotten shall we? Is not lag, or your bad driving... the roads are actually broken. Maybe you have noticed that driving around Bellisseria is not exactly a smooth experience. You are not crazy... roads has some issues you can't really see. Bellisseria roads seems to be the first road by the LDPW made out of mesh pieces and they aren't exactly perfect. After some driving, I noticed my vehicles were pretty bouncy, specially on curves. I also had many issues with my vehicles simply refusing to move, randomly, in some areas.. just revving the engine without moving. Upon closer inspection I realized that the road custom colission shapes had various problems that caused various types of issues with the vehicles. These problems has been properly reported and we hope to see them fixed soon. More on that: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-227210 Bellisseria is a great place to take a drive! The continent is without doubt one of the top mainland areas to take a scenic drive. Let's support improvements like these to help polish that experience!

I'm currently in the middle of finishing the plans for a family fun block party style gathering at the family sim I live, Acacia Falls! While I still have a couple of weeks before it's time (Don't worry there's will be a post with actual details, times, and such) I have one final thing I'm looking to add to it: A gift basket! Would any of you happen to know of a store willing to donate a small gift card or two to a family sim for the sake of raffling out to the citizens during our block party?
