There’s something relaxing about decorating in a virtual world. In my latest livestream, I spent an hour inside AvatarLife, an OpenSim alternative to Second Life, working on my platform in the sky. No quests. No chaos. Just pure creative energy.

My goal was simple: make the space feel peaceful.

The first thing I did? Add more sakura trees. You can never have too many cherry blossoms, right? I spread them around the platform and instantly the space felt softer and more alive. After that, I placed more flowers across the ground to fill in empty areas. It’s amazing how much small details change the mood of a build.

One practical addition was an invisible wall around the edges. Since the platform floats high in the sky, visitors could easily fall off. Now they’re safe, even if they get a little too curious exploring the edge.

I also cleaned things up by removing rocks I wasn’t using and adding a couple of benches. The benches made the space feel more welcoming, like somewhere you’d actually sit and relax.

The biggest challenge? Finding the perfect centerpiece.

I tried placing a campfire, but it didn’t match the calm garden vibe I was going for. I removed it pretty quickly. I considered adding a pond, but I couldn’t find one that fit. I even checked out a river kit at the Omni Outlet, but it just wasn’t what I had in mind.

So most of the stream became a creative experiment, placing trees, moving objects, adjusting layouts, and seeing what felt right. And since uploading textures costs AV$, I worked with what I already had.

Even without a final centerpiece, the platform feels closer to becoming my dream sky garden.

Hey everyone!

I just wrapped up another fun hour in AvatarLife, the OpenSim alternative to Second Life, and I wanted to share what I got up to! My main goal today was to work on my massive platform floating 2000 meters in the sky, pretty cool, right? But as usual, I needed more stuff, so I went on a freebie hunt.

First stop was AvatarLife Mall, but sadly, no freebies there 😅. Not giving up, I headed to London Town – Camden, hoping for a better luck… but then I got distracted by Fish Coin!

Luckily, I did grab the Fish Coin Free Rod from the Welcome Area and finally decided to give fishing a try. It was super relaxing watching my avatar fish hile also tuning into Josh Strife-Hayes on YouTube talking about the Stop Killing Games initiative. I hear they were presenting it to the EU Parliament, fingers crossed it makes a difference!

Before ending the stream, I tried figuring out if I could exchange Fish Coins for AV$, but no luck finding info yet. Maybe next time I’ll dig into that.

Catch you in the skies, happy building and fishing! 🎣🪂

I just wrapped up another hour in AvatarLife, the OpenSim alternative to Second Life, and this session was all about collecting goodies and starting something new, my sky home!

Back to the Omini Freebie Area

I headed back to the Omini Freebie shopping place to see what I could find. There are so many free items there, and I wanted more landscaping options.

This time I picked up:

• A bunch of different grass textures
• Sakura trees 🌸
• Ground flowers
• Some rocks
• And… a male lion 🦁 (because why not?)

I also checked out the houses again, but honestly, none of them really felt like “me.” So I decided to do things a little differently.

I Finally Got My Free Home

The admin gave me access to a free home, which was super nice! But instead of just using it as-is, I had another idea.

I placed a platform 2000 meters up in the air.

Yes… I’m building in the sky. ☁️

I’m going to keep the house on the ground for now, but my real project is going to be my own custom sky build. There’s something really fun about having your own peaceful space way above everything else.

Unpacking and Landscaping

After setting up the platform, I started unpacking everything I grabbed:

• The rocks
• The flowers
• All those grass textures

I spent a surprising amount of time just going through the different grass textures to find the one I liked best. It’s funny how small details like that can completely change the feel of a space.

The sakura trees are going to look amazing once everything comes together. I’m already picturing a soft, peaceful sky garden vibe.

And yes, the lion will absolutely have a place somewhere up there.

So Much More to Do

There’s still a lot left to build. One hour barely scratches the surface when you’re creating a space from scratch. But that’s part of the fun, taking your time, experimenting, and slowly shaping your own world.

Would you build your home on the ground… or 2000 meters up in the sky? ☁️

I recently spent an hour exploring AvatarLife, which is an OpenSim-based alternative to Second Life. If you enjoy virtual worlds where you can customize your avatar, explore different places, and collect free items, AvatarLife might interest you.

Here’s what I experienced during my first hour.

Starting at the Welcome Area

I began in the Welcome Area, which is usually the first place new users arrive. It’s designed to help players learn the basics and find useful locations.

While I was there, I picked up some objects for the Podex Affiliate system. I also received 100 AV$ from someone before I even started my livestream, which was a nice surprise. AV$ is the in-game currency used in AvatarLife.

Camping to Earn AV$

One interesting feature I found was camping spots. There were:

• Dance campers
• Chair campers

These are places where you can sit or dance to earn AV$. However, it didn’t clearly say how long you need to camp to earn money. That made it a little confusing for beginners.

Still, it’s a simple way for new players to start earning currency without spending real money.

The Bump Car Area

There was also a bump car area. The idea is that players drive small cars and bump into each other for fun.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t very exciting because no one else was there at the time. Bump cars are definitely more fun when you have other players to interact with.

Claiming a Free Home

One of the highlights of my visit was the Free Homes area. I was able to select a free home for my avatar.

Now I just have to wait for an admin to assign the home to my account. If everything goes smoothly, I’ll soon have my own place in AvatarLife. For a free virtual world, that’s a pretty nice feature.

Checking Out Omni Free Items

I also visited the Omni Free Items location, and this was impressive. There were many free items available, including:

• Homes
• Complete avatars
• Clothing
• Accessories
• Other useful objects

For new players, this is a great way to customize your character without spending AV$.

Final Thoughts After One Hour

After spending an hour in AvatarLife, here’s what stood out:

Pros:

• Free homes
• Lots of free items
• Easy ways to earn AV$
• Friendly community (someone gave me 100 AV$!)

Cons:

• Some areas felt empty
• Camping instructions were unclear
• Certain activities are only fun with more players

Overall, AvatarLife seems like a solid option if you’re looking for a free OpenSim virtual world. It has strong potential, especially if more users are online and active.

I’ll be checking back once my free home gets assigned to see how the experience improves!
