For my short simploring tour on Friday, June 26th, I picked Mimmo from scoop.it SL Destinations.

Mimmo is an adult homestead, the landmark description is short but very precise:
“Photogenic spots. Beautiful stream, take photographs, explore, collaborate – Hang out. RENTALS Available!“

Mimmo is group owned, founder of the group is Eli (Elise Sirnah), who is partly owning Mimmo. I couldn’t find out, who else is owning Mimmo.

Impressions of Mimmo (1) – at the landing / community area

The landing at Mimmo is quite at the highest point on a high plateau next to a fence area with an exhibition. It looks like there was a photo contest just recently. From the exhibition area stairs and a road leads to the open community area with places to sit and chat, a big open house, more places to sit, several huts and a really nice oldtimer that offers poses for photographers.

I saw 4 residential houses for rent, three of them are a bit apart from the mainland and hence offer privacy. The rest of the sim is public and provides many lovely spots to sit and cuddle or to take pictures for example at the fish&chips stand or at the painter’s hut on the beach.

Mimmo is just what the description promises – a beautiful home that offers many photogenic and romantic spots. It’s just a joy to wander around and to explore it. The concept with the large community area and the seperated residential houses is not unusual but the rental area and space is much smaller than the public area. The focus of Mimmo is clearly not business. At the time I visited, there was at least one house available.

I enjoyed my short tour. Thank you, Eli for providing this sim to the public.
REMARK: Graice Shade Keela (graice2) is the other owner of the sim as Eli told me after this post was published.

Simploring 2019 (66) Mystic Timbers – Extra worlds

On Saturday, June first, I continued exploring Mystic Timbers (read Simploring 2019 (65) Mystic Timbers). This time I focused on the 6 places offered by the teleport board next to the landing point at Mystic Timbers: Rain City, Road to Nowhere, Red Room Spa, Roofs of Paris, The Rendezvous, The Retreat. All these places are located in the sky above Mystic Timbers. They offer particular backgrounds for photographers and some can also to used for roleplay or for adult scenes. That’s why Mystic Timbers is rated adult.

I started with Rain City. As the name implies, it rains there. Rain City offers apocalyptic urban street scenes with crashed and burning cars. Most of Rain City is just facade. You can enter a boxing studio though and I did. I even tried boxing against a sand bag.

The subway entries aren’t fake as well, if you walk down you get some great bakdrops for subway stations. And there’s also a red light district that can be used as backdrop. Of course I posed there a bit although this time I wasn’t dressed for it but still in my summer outfit from our Friday night party.

Road to Nowhere is a scenery of motel located at a lonesome highway in the middle of nothing, a desert is around the motel. The bike in front of the motel offers some nice poses and the scenery itself it once a again a nice backdrop.

The Red Room Spa is an adult place, very luxurious with a big spa, some bdsm gear, a lovely bathroom, a seperate corner for dressing, a stylish living room and a big hall for party and events.

The Rendezvous is one single room with windows looking out to London City. Basically it is a bedroom, for sure nice to meet your loved one.

Mystic Timbers – The Rendezvous and Roofs of Paris

The Roofs of Paris is a scenery that I did see before, yet I don’t remember where. The landing is on a roof. I didn’t find any poses, you have to rezz those yourself for taking pictures with this background. But be careful, you might fall …. down to Msytic Timbers

The last place I visited was The Retreat. Again that is just one room. All furniture is covered with sheets as are the pictures on the walls. But the furniture has adult poses and the rug in front of the fireplace has whole scenes. It might be a great place to take Jenny to, as it is not that obvious what’s hidden there.

All the 6 extra worlds offer different backdrops and sceneries for photographers and together with Mystc Timbers itself there’s almost everything covered. Not that I persoanlly miss that, but sc-fi is not covered, nor fantasy (but there’re enough other places for that).
Mystic Timbers is owned by a group of 9 people: Graice (graice2), Soffy Ronwood, Elise Sirnah, Grace Sixpence, Morgan (morganmonroe1), Lofty Lemur, Bee (filipa emor), Silivren (Neida Rae) and sol (solking)Thank you all for providing Mystic Timbers and the 6 extra Worlds to the public! I enjoyed my visit and had fun exploring the different areas.

Simploring 2019 (65) Mystic Timbers

For my simploring tour on Friday, May 31st, I picked Mystic Timbers from scoop.it SL Destinations. Mystic Timbers is located in a full region rated adult. As far as I could find out, Mystic Timbers is owned by sol (solking).

According to the landmark description Mystic Timbers is in the English countryside. It has a bustling harbour, promenades and a narrow beach, there’re vibrant shops to persue at your leisure and there’s a gallery. Mystic Timbers is intended to be a place for photographers and bloggers or just to have fun and to enjoy the environment.

Mystic Timbers – overview

The landing point is in the town close to the harbour. Right next to the where you land is a teleporter board to access 6 different places, that are on skyplatforms. Also quite close to the landing point I found an office with a bit more information. Although Mystic Timbers is an adult sim, you should refrain from nakedness at least on the ground level. You can rent some of the houses at Mystic Timbers.

I decided to postpone a visit to the sky platforms and to explore the ground level first. I started with the gallery and had just a short look inside and at the current exhibition called “Winter and Kazrakk”. I postponed a more detailed visit to the gallery as well.

Impressions of Mystic Timbers (2) – the beach and the main street

I started my visit walking to the beach and I had a look at the 2 small beach houses. Then I walked along the main street of the town. It is quite picturesque and some of the shops are occupied. At the end of the street you reach a lovely park. In it’s center is a pond with some ducks, a swan and a swan boat. And of course there’re several spots to sit and enjoy. Close to the park is also a spot just for photographers where you could pose in front of decorated pieces of a ruin.

Impressions of Mystic Timbers (3) – around the park

At one edge of Mystic Timbers is a farm with all what you expect there, farmers market, a tractor, horses, a stall, a windmill, almost every farm background is available. Along the shore of Mystic Timbers you find various residential houses, from a small hut to a larger manor. As far as I checked none of those are furnished, hence I assume they might be available for rent.

Quite outstanding is the large rotunda. From there you have a nice view on the lighthouse and and to the beach. A large and nicely decorated terrace invites to take a break and to enjoy. Inside of the rotunda is swimming pool that is used for sea plants. You can for sure spend some romantic time in the rotunda.

What else? I saw the ruin of a gazebo and the chapel with a graveyard. I saw some hidden romantic spots to cuddle. I saw many backdrops for pictures. And I saw what seems to be an artists’ colony with  funny houses (one seems to be an old circus trailer).

Mystic Timbers is a quite varied sim that offers a bit of everything for photographers and for people who just like to enjoy a lovely picturesque environment. Thank you sol (solking) for providing the sim to the public! I enjoyed my visit and exploring it a lot.

P.S.: When this post was published I talked with sol who told me that actually a group of 9 People own Mystic Timbers. I asked for a list …. and here it is. Mystic Timbers is owned by: Graice (graice2), Soffy Ronwood, Elise Sirnah, Grace Sixpence, Morgan (morganmonroe1), Lofty Lemur, Bee (filipa emor), Silivren (Neida Rae) and sol (solking). Thank you all!
