Diomita Maurer’s Blog

Sunday, October 22nd, I was up for a simploring tour. I checked Inara Pey’s blog as well as the SL desination guide but no sim attracted my direct attention. I was looking for fall and not for an Halloweeen sim. Finally I used the inworld search function of SL for “Autumn” and I selected “Sunfall” for my simploring tour:
“Autumn has arrived! The sim is bursting with fall colors.
Wander around this beautiful landscape, spot the dragonflies dancing on the stream, climb the lighthouse tower or relax on the beach, watch the waves at smugglers rock.
Shopping too!”

Sunfall – an overview

Sunfall is a full sim, divided in three parts: Sunfall Landing, House of Spheres and Pestique Furniture. The landing point is on the beach of Sunfall Landing and I got an automatic greeting “Sunfall: Hello Diomita Maurer. Welcome to Sunfall Landing, enjoy your visit 🙂 Relax in this romantic nature sim. Wander around on foot or use the signposts to TP. Home of the mainstores of House of Spheres and Pestique.”

Impressions of The House of Spheres

Sunfall is another example how to combine business with a public sim, that also offers opportunities to walk, to sit and cuddle, to explore, take pictures and to have fun. A customer service that I appreciate. I never heard of “The House of Spheres”. This part of the sim and the shop are owned by Freya Spellhunter. The House of Spheres offers floral arrangements and decorations. I really like the presentation of the flowers in a greenhouse. And in SL flowers don’t fade but stay in shape and in their colours.

Impressions of Pestique Furniture

Pestique Furniture is the part of Sunfall, that is owned by Sara Greene and hosts her shop. Pestique offers all kind of furniture and decoration, everything you need for home and garden. The modern 3-story store does not really fit into the environment but exhibiting furniture needs some space. While I liked the greenhouse used as a store for the floral arrangements, I think also the modern building next to the greenhouse, where Freya exhibits decorations (right now of course Halloween) looks a bit like a contaminant.

Sunfall: The waterfall, the lighthouse and the sauna in the rocks

As mentioned the signposts do not point to the spots to visit but are used as TP Points to bring you around in Sunfall if you don’t go on foot. Besides the Greenhouse, the House of Spheres and Pestique, you can visit the Lighthouse, the Waterfall and two beaches. I went to all places. The sim is lovely and offers some really nice spots. In the end of my visit, I discovered a sauna that is build into the rocks. For sure a nice place for a sauna as you can enjoy the view outside. And Autumn? Well my desire to visit a real Autumn place with all the colourful leaves was not really satisfied. But nonetheless I found a nice place to go to and I appreciate this way of doing business in SL. It gives a bonus to the cutomers. Thank you Freya Spellhunter and Sara Greene. I enjoyed my visit.
