Two Moons Paradise

Two moons Paradise is a beautiful sim that has several gorgeous areas. Over all it is a great place to take a date, as there lots of secluded dance areas and cuddle spots all over the sim. The main area is the beach. Here at the beach area you will find a gallery, shops and a main club. I believe the main club is formal. They do have free formal wear available for those that don't have any. Also there is a rezz area on the beach to rezz the clothes. Here you can also is area you can rezz boats and water vehicles to enjoy sailing the area. There are many things to ride at 2 moons. But I found that the hot air balloon was one of the nicest.

The winter area
The winter area is a beautiful place too relax, dance, ice skate, snow sledge, and enjoy the company of the animals. There is a place to rezz a free sled, that you ride all over the winter area. This area is very romantic with a gazebo for private dances, a cave to hide in and whisper sweet nothings and beautiful arch that would be a perfect setting for a wedding. If you are here with a group, there is nice seating area to just hangout with. As long as you don't mind the animals watching you.

The Forest area
The forest area is a magical area filled with lots of woodland creatures, dance area, lots of cuddle bubbles, swings, fairy circle and a rideable dragon fly.

The mermaid Village
One of the nicest parts of 2 moons paradise is the mermaid village. The village has lots of homes available for merfolk to rent. It also has a mer mall, rideable sea horses, underwater dance club, and a shipwreck to explore.

Space station and The Barn
There is also a space station and a barn. The space station is a perfect place to take a date to dance on the moon. The Barn has a country atmosphere where dances are held regularly.

The kind of sim:

clubbing, hangout, romantic,

How to dress for this sim

Depends on the area and events you are going to. It's very much a club, romance and date type sim. So generally I would say cocktail, formal, or date attire, if it's not a theme party, or a mermaid function.

What to do:

7 seas fishing, dancing, clubbing, mermaiding, cuddling, dating, hanging out, view art

The events going on:
There are events going on weekly, if not daily for more information check out their blog and facebook

Blake deep

The land sims in the Blake sea are wonderful, But it's under the sea, where the real magic is. If your a merfolk or a deep sea diver, this is a must to check out.

There are many things to see underwater. As you explore, you will see often see a map. This map will give you tp's to the under water sites. I won't talk about all the tp spots. I don't want to spoil the experience.

One of the best land sims is Flotsam. Underneath is even better. Here there are ruins and caves. There is also a glass under water room where non sea creatures can view the underwater world. Remember merfolk, don't tap on the glass. It scares the humans. Also here you can find the most magical underwater cave. Be sure to check out my review of  above ground Flotsam.

In Blake Roatan is an adorable underwater farm. The tuna fish are the cutest. This area is heavy with pirates, sea battles and battle training. So those under the sea, may need to take care.

The Hippodrome is located in Blake cove. It is a beautiful race arena. Looks like something you would find in ancient Rome.

In union passage you can find and underwater mer sandbox, mer mall and most especially is safe waters. I created a post for safe waters, you can read it here.

Fanci Deep is home to many merfolk and sea creatures. It's a residential community that has some of the best homes a mermaid could love. During Halloween most of residents decorated and they featured an amazing home tour. I can't wait to see what is done during Yule/Christmas


Above the water in Fanci Deep SW is Barnacle Bob's bait shop. Here you can fish (7 seas fishing) ride a dolphin, and even ride a fishy submarine. This is also a perfect place for the land lubbers to dive into the Blake deeps

Of course there are many wrecks and caves to check out through out the Blake deep. I have left out quite a bit, so don't hesitate to come and check it out

The kind of sim:

underwater, diving, merfolk, part of the Blake sea

How to dress for this sim:

deep sea diver, merfolk or some type of sea creature

What to do:

dive, explore, rp being a merfolk or sea creature

The events going on: 
There are weekly events check the calendar at Safe waters for more details.

you can find my experience here

Slaughter Creek

One of the unique aspects about this haunted sim, is its loosely based on real ghosts. It's based on the hauntings of Monte Crisco in Australia. Which is known as the most haunted house in Australia. For more information on the real life haunting click here, here, and here.

Before you come to Slaughter Creek you might want to grab an umbrella. It's raining, and there are a lot of things to explore outside.

Of course check out the Manor house. While there, be sure to find the secret rooms, and don't upset Mrs. Crawley. 

Outside there are several caves to explore, a playgrounds, several buildings and a boat tour.  Unfortunately the playground is just for show. I would have loved to play on the playground around the zombie children. But the equipment is for show only.

Also be sure to go across the bridge. There is a very spooky church and cave. Just be careful of the wolves.

Overall it's a very nice sim. A great place for haunted pictures and a fun place to explore with a group.

The kind of sim:

Haunted, place to hangout, explore and enjoy

How to dress for this sim:

Casual clothes work, it's raining and muddy, so might go with rain boots,

What to do:

explore, boat tour, take pictures

Role play and picture taking:

The sim has lots of spots ideal for gruesome picture taking.

Who will love it:

people who love haunted houses

Safe waters foundation

Safe waters foundation is the number one spot, every merfolk should visit at least once. Here you will find everything you need to get started in the merfolk community. They even offer a cheap mer transformation kit, for men and women.

Every Friday at 7pm and Saturday at 10 am SLT is the mer support gathering. A perfect way for the new merfolk to get to know others.

Other valuable resources you can find here are advertising boards with links to shops, rentals, sims, hangouts, and rps that cater to underwater living. Also calendars that announce underwater events across the grid.

You can also find a mer garden with freebies, self guided tours, a mer mall and a mer sandbox.

I was very impressed with this place.

The kind of sim:
educational, helpful, merfolk

how to dress for this sim:
merfolk, sea creature, diver

connect with other mer folk, find places to hang out, shop etc

Pirate sims of the Blake sea

Many of the sims you encounter in the Sailor Cove West part, of the Blake Sea are residential. The exception is Flotsam, Fanci Deep and the Pirate Sims.

The Pirate sims are the home of great sea battles. You can usually catch them around 10-11 am slt and 4-7 slt. For more information, there is a board with all the upcoming events listed on it.

Blake Navy and Pirate Seaport is primarily a roleplay sim. It is the home of the Blake Battle group. Those visiting are expected to be in character and should be dressed as a pirate or in the clothing of the 17th and 18th centuries. Overall the sim looks like an old shipping fort.

On the docks you will find several boat displays from the store, Ships and bits. You can even change the ship being displayed. On the docks and along the shore are sea worthy shacks and rooms for rent. A great way to live the Blake sea lifestyle, without having to pay island prices.

The fort sits high on a hill behind the docks. In the fort are some shops and a very nice tavern named the Blue Parrot.

There is  a cave entrance, that I believe to be one of the pirates strongholds on the island. But I won't give its details away.

Those wishing to take part in land or sea battles, must get prior permission from the sim owner. Then you will need to take note of the flag flying. A green flag means combat is permitted. If a red flag is flying, it means no combat is allowed.

I didn't find the roleplay to be very active when I was visiting. But it would make for a beautiful setting for a small group wishing to play out some historical or pirate rp. It would also be the perfect background for pirate pictures.

Rib Island
Rib Island is a practice range. The perfect spot for testing out a battle ship before taking it into battle. I often found this sim on fire. So be careful!

The kind of sim:

pirate, sailing, roleplay, combat

How to dress for this sim:

pirate, pirate inspired, 18th-19th century

Storyline, rp, background:
The setting is 18th-19th century, and great for pictures and rp

What to do:
roleplay, watch and be part of ship battles, watch races, be in races

Who will love it:
roleplayers, pirates, combat rpers, people who love boats and sea battles,

Flotsam

Oddly, it was the SL coastguard that led me here. They have a big map of Blake sea there, and on this section is a big pirate symbol. So of course I had to come here as soon as possible.

The sim is like a pirate theme park, I love it! The description says spend a couple hours. I spent two days and that didn't seem like enough.

After I arrived, I carefully hide my umbrella boat. You can't be too careful, especially around pirates. I wasn't sure what to expect. But I found a typical pirate town. There are plenty of stores to gather supplies. (the stores are just for show, nothing to purchase) You can also find a Chinese laundry, an inn, tattoo parlor, bank, courthouse and of course a pub.

One thing that Flotsam offers is underwater tours. I jumped at the chance. The tour was over all very nice. But some how we ran a ground. Thankfully no one was hurt. I ended up in some place called Taurus Passage. The only one on this island was an old man, who told me all about the mermaids, that live near by. I am not sure as I believe him. But I will be checking that out soon.

Another amazing attraction is called Cap'n Nemo's underwater attraction. This is like a maze of underwater rooms. These rooms are a steampunk scientist's dream.

There is even a underwater treasure hunt. So be sure to have a diving suit ready. It took awhile to get to the first ship wreck, so be patient and don't give up.

Overall these sims are loads of fun. It's a great place to come with a group to have a day of fun. Or just by yourself.

The kind of sim:

pirate, sailing,  diving, merfolking, amusement park,

How to dress for this sim:

Like a pirate! I saw people dressing in modern wear and did not see any rules about dress code.

Storyline, rp, background:
I don't know of any on going rp's or storylines going on here. But it is a great setting for a small pirate story/pictures. Also amusement park story/pictures would work too.

What to do:
explore the nautilus, take an underwater tour in a luxurious submarine, explore Cap'n Nemo's underwater adventure, do an underwater treasure hunt,

Who will love it:
Pirates, mermaids, sailors, divers, explorers and people who just like to have fun
