Customer Service, part two

…way better this time.

so i see this necklace on the forum, and think that it’d look nice with my wife’s new dress, and go to grab it for her…
only that its no transfer and there are no gift vendors or anything, so i’m IMing the owner…
… and she actually sends my wife the full fatpack, 10 colors or more, for the price of one… THAT is customer service dedication…

The store in quesion is Milk Motion at Cupcake

Noobs and “Edit appearance”

…they should really make the “How to change your looks” part on noob island mandatory.
Is being an eyesore an AR-able offense?
… I guess beyond a certain point it could fall under “Disturbing the peace.”

Sculptmaps are the next Business-In-A-Box

…or maybe not, I don’t know yet.
All i can say is that someone sells sculptmaps on xstreet, for reasonable prices, and suddenly more and more shops are selling the same boot or shoe, for increasingly low prices, usually just with different scripted features and maybe different colors…
Crave sells the default sculpted overknee in pastel colors, Kashoez sells it in normal leather colors, and a lot of shops are selling them in all kind of animal patterns.

Then there’s the sculpted bare foot shoe. Y’all know that moody asks 4 digit prices for those… Now something similar, made from another full perm sculptmap, is down to 25L$ per pair (unless the price has dropped any further since I last looked).

I don’t know about you girls out there, but although I’m as happy as anyone else about good shoes for good prices, but I can’t say that I’m happy about stuff becoming too commonplace…

Edit: by now the aforementioned sculpted bare foot shoe is a freebie on XstreetSL.

Ugly Bots

I really don’t see the point in having bots at your place, even to coach traffic numbers…

look at these here… “Beauties” like that would more likely drive traffic away, wouldn’t they?

Two new boats…

…ok, the first one is not that new:


WildWind VOJ-70

a few details:

  • huge genaker
  • canting keel
  • race wind

sails very nicely and fast, good for long distance racing, not so good for explorative cruising because it has a rather huge turning circle… I’d hate to take that monster up the mallard.

the other boat is the

Flying Fizz 3.0…

a few details:

  • no “sail by numbers” anymore, the first boat with actually working telltales in the sails
  • real heeling
  • tasks distributable to crew

this boat will make for interesting racing…

Stupid Mall Owners

So there’s this mall owner, advertizing a “super realistic new fashion store”, and all you get when you try to go there is “Sorry, you do ont have access to that teleport destination”.

Try it yourself here.

The Garden Of Da Vinci

Castles, Towers, Caves, Water, Tropical islands, one corner is called “divers paradise”… An underwater habitat station, a giant squid…

Ride a mars rocket, fly da vinci’s first draft of a helicopter, ride a gondola…

Lots of fun things to explore here, definitely worth coming back… And for the oldfashioned couples who only want to dance while gazing into their beloved partners eyes, there’s a dancefloor with good music…

Exploring Mexico

I found this location in the showcase under hotspots, it’s four sims with a mexican theme run by the mecican tourist office.

It’s a pretty amazing location, even if you run into something like this when you arrive…

There’s all kind of fun stuff to do and to explore there.


a cozy little campfire in the mayan ruins.


Mexican wildlife… I think that is an anteater.


You can rent horses near the entrance, which can be pretty handy.

Those horses can be ridden only once, so prepare and get several if you
intend to get off your horse to have a closer look at something.


A path behind a cascade tumbling down a cliff in the jungle.


The cathedral in the village.


The pavillion in the village square.


A jaguar.


A closer look at that jaguar.


Being pounced by a different kind of wildcat ^^

There’s way more cool stuff to see there, go and see for yourselves.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all…

…you run into someone like this.

Yep, thats a freenis.
On a noob.
A noob wearing nothing but long white underwear.
Editing appearance at the landmark location of a site that’s in the showcase under hotspots.

Too bad the sim is (M) or I’d have AR’ed him to hell and back.
