About FurrySide

FurrySide is a creator-first OpenSim grid and virtual world built for community, self-expression, and long-term home building. If you love the idea of a 3D world like Second Life, where residents can explore, socialize, and build entire destinations together, you’re in the right place.

At its core, FurrySide is a living, user-created world. The places you visit, the outfits you wear, the décor you rez, and the experiences you stumble into are shaped by residents, not a developer roadmap.

What is FurrySide?

FurrySide is an OpenSimulator-based virtual world (an OpenSim grid). You connect using a compatible viewer and enter a full 3D environment where you can:

  • Customize your avatar
  • Explore regions and neighborhoods
  • Own land and build on parcels
  • Socialize, attend events, and join communities
  • Create and sell content

In many ways, FurrySide offers a familiar “Second Life-style” experience, powered by OpenSim and shaped by its residents.

A world created by its users

FurrySide exists for creators and the communities built around them.

Everything that makes a virtual world feel alive comes from the people inside it: builders, designers, scripters, DJs, photographers, venue owners, and everyday residents who turn empty land into places with personality.

Residents create and trade all kinds of content, including:

  • Mesh creations
  • Textures and materials
  • Animations and poses
  • Avatar accessories and clothing
  • Buildings, furniture, and full environments
  • Scripts, gadgets, and interactive experiences

If you’re a creator, you’ll find room to grow here. If you’re not a creator yet, you’ll find a world that makes you want to become one.

Why we exist

We created FurrySide to be more than “just another grid.”

We want a virtual world where:

  • Community matters and people feel welcome
  • Creators are respected and protected
  • New residents aren’t left to figure everything out alone
  • There are real reasons to log in, explore, and stay connected
  • The grid grows steadily and intentionally, not randomly

We’re focused on building a world people can genuinely call home.

A working economy you can build a business in

FurrySide has a working in-world economy designed to support creators and entrepreneurs.

Residents can:

  • Run in-world businesses and sell virtual goods
  • Purchase in-world currency (FurBucks) through supported exchange options
  • Use that currency for shopping, land, tips, events, and services
  • Cash out in-world earnings through approved methods (where available)

In other words: you can create, sell, and operate like a real virtual marketplace. Whether you want a small shop, a full brand, or a venue-driven business, FurrySide is built to support that kind of ecosystem.

(As with any economy, specific processes and availability depend on our approved systems and policies.)

Community, events, and social spaces

FurrySide is designed to feel social, not empty.

We’re actively developing and improving resident spaces and experiences that bring people together, including music and venue projects like our in-grid build of Urban Rhythm. Our goal is to create consistent reasons to log in: events, hangouts, neighborhoods, and shared places that feel lived-in.

Land, parcels, and building

If you love building and designing spaces, FurrySide is built for it.

Residents can claim land, create homes, build destinations, and develop community spaces. From starter parcels to larger projects, we’re growing the world with residents in mind, giving people a real chance to settle in early and help shape the future of the grid.

Easy to connect on OpenSim

FurrySide is OpenSim compatible and can be accessed using popular OpenSim viewers. If you’ve ever used Second Life viewers, the experience will feel familiar: log in, teleport, chat, customize your avatar, and explore.

We also provide support resources to help new residents connect quickly and get comfortable.

Discord and support

We’re building community both in-world and out-of-world. Our Discord server is being developed to offer:

  • Grid announcements and updates
  • Community chat and networking
  • Help resources and support channels
  • Event notices and schedules

We aim to keep support straightforward and human. If you need help, we want you to be able to get it quickly.
