Mori no Shima Visitor Map & Guide

Edited Dec 26th.

Thanks to all those who visited our sim and left lovely comments in our visitors book. We are now preparing for a New Year's Eve celebration and the sim is closed to the public.

 

--

 

Welcome to our home sim - Mori no Shima.

 

Our sim is currently open to the public and the interior of our home will be open to the public during the 2015 Tour of Lights (December 18 - 21). We would ask that you refrain from public nudity, sex and that you treat other visitors with respect. Thanks for your understanding!

If possible, set your Graphics to High or Ultra and turn on Advanced Lighting, and set windlight to region default.

 

SOME THINGS TO DO WHILE YOU ARE VISITING US

Please explore because we have not detailed everything in this guide. Also, there is some adult furniture, which is set to group, so visitors cannot use it - sorry.

 

1. Enjoy our hospitality:

- grab some hot cider or chocolate at the front door

- get eggnog latte or gingerbread cookie in the kitchen

- get breakfast stuff from the toaster in the kitchen

- on the kitchen counter are bottles of white and red wine, and an espresso machine

- there is a tray with hot chocolate on the table in front of the cabin near the skating pond

- there is soup over the fire at the beach, please give it a stir or it will burn (Sit on the pot)

 

2. Skating:

- Set your windlight to region default and the water around our island will turn to ice. There is an invisible prim just under the surface, so you can skate everywhere you like.

- The greeter at the landing point gave you a folder with free skates for guys + girls so you're all set. Of course you can use your own skates too.

- The little frozen pond near the small cabin can also animate you to skate (just click on it), and there is a couple skating poseball set there as well.

- Out on the frozen lake you can find a group skating system for up to ten people.

 

3. Dancing:

Dancing for singles and couples is contained in sundials, which are spread around the sim (look for the hover text). Click the sundial for couple dances and the bottom for singles. This is where you will find them:

- back deck of house

- cabin near skating rink

- beach (find the mistletoe in the gazebo :-)

- dock

 

4. Sledding:

- At the end of the stairs from the big bridge to the path down to the beach is a sled, it can rez a sled for 1, 2 or 3 people, hop on and steer your way down to the ice.

 

5. Nature walks:

- Cross the bridge and walk down the path through the forest to the cabin, the skating pond and the beach.

- Take the Zipline down to the dock, walk on the ice to the lighthouse and take a ride to the top.

- Walk down the rocky path to the hanging bridge, cross the forest and go to the beach.

- The forest is full of deer and other animals, have a look and see what you can find!

 

6. Photography:

Please do take snaps to remember your visit. If you have a Flickr account, Moriko would love it if you would add her to your art so that we can enjoy seeing our home sim through your eyes.

 

7. Cats and other animals:

- Nermal is a bit stand-offish but Mori-chan is alway happy to get some petting (right-click, select "Pet..." from the menu).

- You can feed the budgies and the hamster in the kitchen by clicking on the cages and select "tend".

- There are lots of birds - try to listen to see if you can recognize them! There are chickades, cardinals, woodpecker, barn and snowy owl, crow, robin, mourning dove and blue jay.

- There are ermines in the undergrowth near the gazebo on the beach, they are fun to watch!

- The Finger Rock at the south-west tip of the island is home to a pair of eagles.

 

8. Playground:

The playground is usable by ToddleeDoo avatars mostly, and Zooby babies.

 

ABOUT OUR SIM AND FAMILY

 

Mori no Shima is the home of 2 families, who are related in real life - the Corrimals and the Inshan-Onmuras and our animals. The sim design and landscaping is the responsibility of Moriko, with input from everybody :-)

 

We hope that you enjoy visiting our home and wish you the best of the holiday season and happy new year. If you enjoyed your visit, please sign our guest book located in the front entrance. And don't forget to grab the Christmas gift :-)

 

Thank you!
