This may seem like coincidence, but still.
The #
Hypergrid is experiencing a surge of new freebie sims. Most of them are basically the same as always, only upgraded. This means that everything they offer is illegal, stolen from #
SecondLife. If something legal pops up somewhere, it's usually "by-catch" from raiding older freebie sims, mostly outdated versions of Ruth 2.0 (RC#2, RC#2 or even the test release), and the sim owners don't even know what it is that they slap against their walls. "Upgrade" means that, next to
Maitreya Lara Athena and
Slink Physique Hourglass Decadence-HG, the more recent and not renamed Legacy and eBody Reborn are being offered, along with outfits for them.
Interestingly, however, sims that are dedicated to legal freebies seem to be on the rise. In #
Groovyverse, Doctor Dave is building a sim named San Juan. @
Juno Rowland has met him already; I shall go meet him, too. Many of the shop buildings on this sim are filled with legal clothes for #
Ruth2 to wear, and Dave said he has still got lots of clothes collected from a grid he couldn't remember the name of that he hasn't put into stores yet. Next to Groovyverse itself whose founder @
Hyacinth Jean Landry not only forked her own body LuvMyBod off Ruth 2.0 RC#2, but also made mostly "body offset" mesh clothes for both Ruth 2.0 RC#2 and LuveMyBod, the only grid to offer original, full-perm Ruth 2.0 clothes in larger quantities is #
DorenasWorld.
And just recently, Froot Loops started working on a new sim on #
KinkyHavenGrid named HandMade. This sim shall only offer legal creations made in and for #
OpenSim, full stop. In fact, instead of dividing the content into themes, it's the creators who get their own "stores" dedicated to them. After all, Froot Loops only wants to offer content which she can trace back to its origins. I hope she'll leave lots of space for more. For once Dorena's World is back online, Juno and I will have lots of content to bring her.
Speaking of which, once Jeanne Lefavre is done rebuilding the #
Caribou sims in #
OSgrid, I may become a shopkeep there. Chances are good she'll give me one of the stores to fill. If I get one in the building I've already laid eyes on, I'll use the ground floor as a #
RuthAndRoth body shop like the one I already have in Dorena's World, i.e. part museum, but with more explanation and guidance on the walls. That way, Caribou will have the Ruth2 and #
Roth2 product lines offered by someone who actually knows them.
Even though I'm likely to have enough space for them, I'm not sure if I will also offer @
Sean Heavy ✅🤙🏻☯🏳️🌈's #
RuthToo and #
RothToo boxes. Sean is a pretty good shopkeep already with various shops on at least two grids (speaking of which, the two OSgrid outlets still lack the layer underwear boxes). Besides, not all older boxes seem to be full-perm, and I'm not sure if that's by mistake or intentional.
Upstairs, although there's a teleporter making up for a lack of actual stairs, I want to revive Deva Moda in a place that's easier to reach.
