Fall Comes To Some Linden Home Neighborhoods, New Copperfield Heights Sims

 

September is when autumn comes to the temperate areas of the northern hemisphere, notably Canada, and most of the USA and Europe. And it's come to a couple Linden Home areas in Second Life:  Copperfield Heights and Aspen Ridge

 

 With the Aspen Ridge, I could see leaves falling down. 

 

Hearing some chatter in the Bellisseria group, and checking the forums, I heard there were some new sims in development in the Copperfield Heights area: Promised Pony, Masked Marvel, Paz Mundail, Cowpath Ridge, and Wind River Bluff.

 

 It is unknown when these sims will be open, but Bellisserians playing the "Game of Homes" are hopeful it will be very soon.

A Glance At The Warblood City Autumn Carnival

 

 In Warblood City, their Autumn Carnival is going on. This family-friendly event is fun for just about everyone. There's rides, such as the ferris wheel. There are games, such as a few shooting galleries. There are performances. There's raffles in which you can get tickets for a chance at a nice prize. And there's the food. 

 

Avatars of all shapes and sizes are welcome, within reason such as dressing decently. The area was decked out for fall, with some pumpkins and Halloween decorations. 

 

I had a few words with one of the staff, Mina (scyredstrike Resident), who showed me around. There was a graveyard, which had zombies lumbering toward people. There was the kiddie food court. One area she was hesitant to go in as it was full of creepy dolls. There was also a Halloween walkthrough.

More Halloween Shopping And Health Island In September

Gemma Cleanslatehas been continuing her search for Halloween, and autumn, themed places. Her journey took her to two. At Wonderland Beach, there was a noteworthy hunt going on. Halloweentown was appropriately named, with spooky shops offering decore, as well as a few surprises. But this wasn't all, she would stop by Health Island to see what they had this month.

Longing Melody

 

October is almost here. While the month is best known for Halloween, it's also known in real life for the fall season taking hold as the days start to get shorter, the summer heat fades, and trees start to change color. Gemma dropped by a location in Second Life which mirrored real life as it showed trees with changing and falling leaves and other scenery: Longing Melody. It is one of the Nature Collective areas, though hadn't been by it yet. So what did she think?

Halloween Town And Moochies

Gemma Cleanslate has been on the lookout for more Halloween themed places, and places now sporting a spooky look for the season. In her article for today, her travels took her to two such places. The first was an old favorite: Halloween Town in the Townies sim. It has shops with many items for the holiday up for sale, a pumpkin-carving contest, and a haunted house with lots of scenes. Next was Moochies, which is celebrating with it's wooded area offering shadowy areas for travellers to brave when the sun goes down, and has a contest of it's own.
