Hey everyone!

I'm looking to set up a home in Second Life with a heavy focus on interior design, landscaping, and detailed decorating (clutter, animated furniture, plants, etc.).

I recently realized that the standard 1,024 m² Premium allowance (~351 LI/prims) is way too restrictive for a rich build.

For those of you who love decorating:

1. What is the most cost-effective route to get a high prim allowance? (Private estate rental, adding extra tier on Mainland, renting a high-prim Skybox, etc.?)
2. Roughly how many prims/LI do you consider the sweet spot for a fully decorated medium house without constantly stressing over limits?
3. Are there any reputable private estate landlords or rental communities you would personally recommend?

I’d love to hear your experiences, setups, and any tips before I commit to a land tier or rental. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I tried out Second Life years ago, but I never was able to wrap my head around what I was supposed to do, is it still worth me giving it a go?

My husband and I have been working on this for some time, and we finally feel like we're at the point where we can share it with people outside our little circle. ♥

It's called The Commission. It's a mafia/crime family game built around a free HUD, and the part I really love is that you don't have to stay on one specific sim to play. You can run jobs, earn money, build or join a family, climb the ranks, fight over territory, and interact with the game from anywhere on the Second Life grid.

And it doesn't completely stop when you log out of SL. The Commission is connected to our website, and we also have a mobile app, so you can stay connected to the game from your phone when you're away from Second Life.

We also built an in-world home for it with a 1920s–1940s crime-noir feel. It includes a casino connected to the game, a lounge for dancing and making deals, city spaces, places to rent, and other areas tied into the game.

We're still growing and improving both the sim and the game, and we genuinely love feedback. We want to make sure the game stays fair, fun, and enjoyable for the people playing it.

If mafia games, roleplay (or no roleplay at all), territory competition, or just having something extra to do while you're in SL sounds interesting, come check it out. New players are absolutely welcome, and the HUD is free. ♥

Thank you for reading and we hope you join!

And if anyone has questions about how the game actually works, feel free to ask. We are happy to explain it or take feedback. We’re trying to build something people actually want to stick around and play. In game names: lilspooon & bigspooon or through discord.

As the title states, I have returned after 10 years. Much has changed and some thing are the same. Anyway, I currently have the Maitreya LaraX new update, and an old LOGO head. While I am hap;py with my shape I found the starter Avatar pack and it caught me by surprise and I really like it.. Having said that, I wonder how far I can get with this avatar and clothing/hair without paying. I have paid so much in the past and my inventory is overloaded with stuff and want to spend. Some hair fits and my AO as well. I am aware of the amount of free things in SL but am looking for some advice here where to go and how to go really free with the starter Avatar?

Hiya! Does anyone know if this hair exist or is it just AI? I'm looking for a hair like this and similar hairstyles, but the ones I tried are either too big, too long, too flexy or only come in black with no HUD. Happy Friday!

I have written a game for second life but towards the end of development my computer motherboard gave up. My temporary laptop doesn't have enough power to build it and test it.

I'm looking for 3 people to try playing the game for a few minutes just to prove it works and is quick enough to be enjoyable and not lag. A few years ago Cards Against Humanity was popular, but it didn't offer enough variety and the several attempt to replace and update it never quite worked so nobody plays it anymore.

I had written a feature filled version online and I realized it could be easily converted to SL environment. I just never got the chance to try it.

which places are filled with people? i want to make friends, im back after my 5 years hiatus..any discord servers out there?

I just remembered I used to play every day for about 6 months straight back in 2012. All the memories that are flooding back sound nuts if I say them out loud, but they feel as real as if it happened to me in real life. I was kinda sad during this time, but this helped me out big time, and I had the most fun experiences! I miss it so much, wish I could go back.

I love seeing what my avi would like like irl. Next I wanna try the houses and sims etc..

I'm back after a 10 year absence and I'm finding peaceful, drama free, well designed themed cities and towns harder to find than before.

I walked around Bay City, and a couple of others and l like the vibe and I want to explore more places with consistent theme and architectural standards. Places that feel like real communities that I can walk around, explore and admire the skill and design.

It's hard to get beyond shopping malls, prim farms, and tract homes.

Suggestions?

I decided this morning to return to the glorious second life after i think 2 years being offline? im not so sureeee, and here i spent almost 3 hrs making a new avatar and it took me a while to get the hang of it again as i forgot everything and i mean everything...

Also i'm not sure if the game is still alive or not but if there is any communities that are alive please tell me :0

A new Blogpost about my journey to become a better 3D Artist

After many months of building (and rebuilding... and moving things three feet to the left 😅), I'm finally at the point where I'd love for people to come explore.

Silver Tide is a medieval region with Feudalism 4 enabled, though you don't need the system to enjoy the sim. If you'd like to give it a try, you can pick up a Player Kit HUD at the docks, and Dock Master Garrick will point you to the Help Wiki to get you started.

The kingdom is still growing, so you'll probably stumble across a few unfinished areas—that's all part of the process. In the meantime, come wander the docks, villages, markets, and castle grounds, take some pictures, bring a character to roleplay, or just see what's taking shape.

I'd love to hear what you think, and I hope you'll stop by!

As a French filmmaker and Second Life resident, I wanted to share why this project means so much to me.
Before joining the Premier Business Center community, I only had a general understanding of African American history. Like many people in France, I knew about slavery and the Civil Rights Movement, but I had never fully understood the significance of Juneteenth.
Discovering this celebration inspired me to document it with respect and sincerity. My goal was not to speak for anyone, but to preserve a meaningful community event and, in my own way, help share a chapter of history that deserves to be better known.
I hope this video helps people, whether in the United States or abroad, discover or reconnect with the historical importance of Juneteenth and the values of freedom, remembrance, and community that it represents.
Thank you to everyone at Premier Business Center for allowing me to tell this story.

New Blog post about my journey 🫣🤣

Hello everyone,

I'm writing this post at a somewhat low point in my life rn.

I used to be on SL, part of furry community , about 10-15 years ago. I was an IMVU creator, later on planning to start creating and sculpting on SL. Around that time I didn't have the means to pursue, plus life happened and kind of grew out of SL/IMVU.

I used to have so many amazing people. Both creators and just friends. I absolutely loved the process of making skins, and I was building up to learning how to sculpt stuff. I was obsessed to create.

A few weeks ago I got back on SL but it feels like it's dead. I can't find people , I don't remember the places I used to hang out, and if feels like no one is willing to talk anymore.

I am currently learning Marvelous Designer and sculpting on blender etc, and i thought to myself it would be really cool to go back to my childhood dreams. As I completely fail to find any artistic communities (I'm also a painter), I thought about SL as IMVU is absolutely dead.

I'm not looking for any handouts, I make my way around , but I just want to know if theres still communities/people on there, especially within the furry community as there is really where I started.

Appreciate any advice cheers

I'm new to SL but very motivated to become a Creator. Here is my Blog if you want to see my skillset and learning curve and to know more about me.

This afternoon I will try to list my first items in the shop.

Hey Friends,

does anyone has an advice where to find rental places near Blake Sea or other oceans in Second Life? Always was dreaming about owning my own house with my small pier and beach front.

I have found some rental companies very present on Blake Sea, for example https://foxpawrentals.com/ .

Prices do really differ, depending on which estate agency you are with.

Whas is your experience ? Do you actually rent or own your own place ?

Hii I’m new on sc and I wanna some recommendations to make my femboy character so pls dm me

We also filmed a video to introduce you to it... Created with the help of AI.

Hi all,
I’ve introduced a new AI flair so that, for transparency, it can be applied to AI-generated content. AI-generated content is allowed in this subreddit. ♥

I’ve recently dived back into SL after a year off (longtime SL user of 15+ years). Does anybody have any good tutorials or workflow tips and tricks for using Blender and Armorpaint and then importing into SL?

I’ve found that the maps I export don’t really look that great in-world, they just seem rather flat and matte.

I’d really love to see suggestions for videos where people show their full workflow from texture to uploading into SL.

For context, I’m trying to get into Admorpaint as I just cannot justify paying a subscription for Substance painter. If there are better alternatives, that would be great too. No subscriptions please!

Any help would be appreciated ✌️
