Open Sim Grids
In my last post, I decided to venture in to the untamed islands on the frontier of the Metaverse: The Open Sim Grids. Today I introduce 4 good grids to start out on, and I will introduce others in the weeks ahead.

So I need to make one last There.com post just to say goodbye. The pic above is the first screenshot I took in There. Most of the people in the screenshot, especially Twiddler, Marykins, and Emilia are people I knew in The Sims Online, and they encouraged me to sign up for beta.
