Textures!

Fifteen boxes filled with Free textures, some you may have seen but many that are "fresh" compared to the usual collections.

Textures

Not sure what nationality has to do with it, but a small plot called Kuwait Freebie Texture Land is filled with texture-filled boxes that you can buy for L$0 each. You can even donate textures.

Cerridwen's Freebies/Dollarbie

Free t-shirts and a dollarbie texture set at Cerridwen's Cauldron. Wander about the sim and check out the fabulous fantasy stuff, if you have time. Then get me my own sim and a lot fo money so I can spend it here. Oh ... click the mushroom with the CC Freebies! hover text for moe goodies. And there is a group gift, too. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Griffin/81/82/674

Wiley Publishing Freebs

Join the Wiley Publishing group, click a couple signs, and you'll have a slew of animations, textures (two of which are No Copy/No Mod), scripts, and sounds. Member or not, you can also get a free Web Display kit, coffee, and a couple jackets (one for Tinies). Interestingly, there is no group joiner. Search for Wiley Publishing.

FYI: Wiley publishes the "... for Dummies" books, and software manuals. A couple signs indicate they are hiring so maybe you can get a free RL job! The build is cool, too, so it is a fun place to visit. Looks like it was made by the industrial architects associated with Kim Anubis, The Magicians. Kim is also the founder of the Wiley Publishing group in Second Life.

Nautilus: Ancient Treasure Trove

The Linden Moles, the "critters that build the infrastructure on Linden lands, have been busy again. The Nautilus sims are attractive and feature some clever builds. If you are into Ancient Rome/Greece role play they are well worth a visit. If that is not your style but like freebies, visit the Nautilus Market (SLurl) anyway to grab some free costumes, many different styles of houses, decorations, and even the textures used to make the Nautilus sims. Then go explore more Linden lands. Since the development of the Mole corps The Lab has been good at giving away freebies created by their minion. Some appear in your basic Inventory but more are available in-world.

Alazarin's Freebie Treehouses

Not long after I started in Second Life™ my brother set aside a basic 512m² lot for me from all the land he owned and took me to Alazarin's to get a free treehouse (I'd always wanted one). So when a new friend wanted a treehouse for her rental lot in FurNation I took her to the same place (SLurl).

The store has changed in the last couple years and a new treehouse has been added, the "Alazarin's Big Free TreeHouse." He also has a nifty collection of other freebies, too. Some you'll find elsewhere but many you won't. By the way the smaller treehouse (the "Novella 512 Free," pictured here) comes with all kinds of extra goodies like a long-distance (more than 300m) teleporter and a ton of textures.

She's furnishing them with freebies we found at Sn@tch (SLurL), though I could have given most of them to her. Most are reboxed "Hobo" freebs by Arcadia Asylum and available from her little shop (SLurl).

Governor Linden Gives Freebies

So I popped into Bay City (SLurl) to grab the Freebies mentioned on the official SL™ blog and who did I find? Why it was Governor Linden! Sure, there is no "real" such person, but folks were pickled tink that she was there. Lucky Kitties Kira and Lerochelle begged to be teleported in to see the 'Supreme Overlord.' Also showing up was our 'Supreme Overlord' Serenity and Angela (not pictured below, but you can see her IM greeting to me).


Ms. Linden confirmed that the Mole avies used by the Linden Department of Public Works (wiki entry) were made by the very talented Wynx Whiplash. They got the avies free, but you can buy one at Extrovirtual.

Now if you are wondering why everyone is standing around, we were watching a Linden having trouble setting the box to be sold for L$0. Yep. The issue was mentioned on the official blog, too, but I figured it would be fixed by the time I got there. It wasn't, so I offered a free "giver' script. She declined my offer and put one of her own in -- then deleted it saying that a script showing her as the creator shouldn't be released in the wild. I choked back "But the script I'm happy to give you would deliver the contents in a folder without a copy of itself! And then folks wouldn't need to unpack the box!" Honestly, it is so hard to teach a Linden :::giggle:::

About the freebs ... some of the textures in the box are awesome! I look forward to using them. However, nearly every object that my wife rezzed from the pack was merely (oh! how can I put this politely?) ... Well, I'm sure that when I check the official work done by the moles it will be better than the mole-built freebies in the pack. Hey, I'm not a great builder (here's one), but get paid to do it by many who think I'm better than average. And these items were not quite up to being average.

Still, the freebs were generally nice and maybe I'm ultra picky. All-in-all, I do recommend heading out to get this Inventory-busting goodie (lots of stuff in the box). And if you see Governor Linden, say HI for me.
