Welcome to Destination Romance In Romance circles there’s never a dull time, Autumn (or Fall) is no exception, a pretty and Romantic time of the year.

We’ve found some lovely Autumn places for you to visit in this issue such as the cute Autumn Café (cover photo & below). Begin at the contents page to choose or just read right through.

If you know of a good Romantic sim which is worth reviewing, or if you have a Romantic product, service or sim and would like to link up please message me (details below).

I hope you enjoy reading and visiting these lovely places.

1. Romantic Autumn Sims (Part 1) The Autumn Café (teleport)

Set amidst beautiful Autumn trees with cuddle areas all around is the cute and very Romantic Autumn Café.

Page 4

An ideal place to meet up, the inside is cosy and characteristic.

Wander over to the counter and wow yummy treats!

Page 5

Pop upstairs with your drink & snack to relax,

or take it outside and try one of the many romantic cuddle areas.

Page 6

The seats have some lovely romantic animations, like this kissing one.

Page 7

A cuddle seat in the shape of a leaf fits in well with the theme and the lights help create that romantic atmosphere.

You can also look out on the beautiful river running by.

Page 8

This sim may be small but there are plenty of cuddle seats to enjoy, this one with the candle in a hot air balloon is great!

The lights are beautifully done and enhance the scene in night mode.

Page 9

There are some nice colours. This backdrop of bright orange and yellow help make this cuddle spot more romantic and special.

Some sense of humour or quirkiness adds fun… careful as you sit down in case this pile of books topples over!

Page 10

How many cuddle areas can you squeeze into one sim?

There’s nothing you can’t use for a cuddle area is there?

Rustic leaves cover the floor making this an ideal Autumn sim to visit even with friends.

2. Romantic Autumn Sims (Part 2) Country in Moonlight (teleport)

If you both like to listen to Country and enjoy the Country then this Romantic sim is for you especially in the Autumn.

Page 12

You can walk around the lake and discover some stunning private areas like this tree swing decorated with hanging lights,

or a nice seat surrounded with flowers looking out onto the lake.

Page 13

Grab a hot drink on the way round from this cute little stall,

or even an ice cream!

Page 14

Country in Moonlight has been nicely arranged, like this nice seating area with Autumn colours hanging over and lighting dotted around.

Why not grab some flowers for the lady you’re with?

Page 15

There are many nice views to enjoy, you can gaze across the lake or even jump on the cuddle boat and view the scenery around.

Find the cave below to enjoy some intimate time together and watch the waterfalls as the candles and fire burn away. Very cosy!

Page 16

Maybe you’d prefer to dance the night away in a lovely over-arching dome. Again note the hanging lights and even the love-heart on the floor.

Full of beautiful Autumn colour, and very Romantic, a worthy sim to be included in our Romantic Autumn sim review.

3. Romantic Autumn Fashion In the last magazine (issue 7) we saw how the clothes you wear can add to the whole romantic atmosphere. In the next issue we hope to look at romantic fashion ideas to get your heart beating and set the trend.

Wearing themed matching sexy looking clothes can create an intimate feeling between you both, such as designer Halloween clothes.

Page 18

You can look the perfect couple by wearing colours which fit in with the season. This also makes for a perfect photo.

Making yourself look attractive will only add to the Romance!

4. Romantic Autumn Sims (Part 3) Four Bridges Project (teleport) Projects are usually experimental are one-off’s, but I hope this won’t be a ‘one-off’ because it has a lot to offer the Romantic couple.

Look

When you arrive you immediately have a fantastic opportunity to rez a free paddle boat and paddle down the river, admiring all the Wonderful tree colours along the banks of the river.

You can even choose the colour of the boat and whether you have a canopy over your head or not. Whoever jumps in first steers!

Page 22

As you go along the river together you take in some stunning scenery.

I think this must be one of the bridges, can you find all four?

Page 23

Why not stop off for a cuddle and just relax together. The sim is well planned as you can see with this cuddle area beside the river.

We stopped off and found some more interesting areas.

Page 24

Even a love-heart in the sand! There are other ways you can look around the sim. If you don’t like travelling on water take a tour in this hot-air balloon and cuddle on the way.

Page 25

You can trot around on horseback, although watch out if you try to cross a bridge as you can easily to fall in – splash!

At the end of the date walk along the wooden jetty, turn to midnight and watch the lovely lanterns float around in the sky. A truly lovely place.

5. Romantic Autumn Sims (Part 4) Ariella Romantic Realm (teleport)

Ariella is well worth a visit for its breath-taking beauty alone.

Page 32

Lets take a look around. Stroll along the beautiful beach area and view the stunning Autumn sunset together.

Even more romantic if you dance by the water’s edge!

Dance posts are like exotic flowers.

Relax cuddling on the bench together.

Page 33

A boat awaits you for a romantic ride down the river.

One amazing difference about this sim is that you can climb up and admire beautiful views of the Romantic realm.

Page 34

Sit together or dance while admiring the awesome views.

Page 35

What can we discover in the above picture? A circular plaque sits on the wall. If you touch the palque you can rez some pose balls and then walk together as a couple.

Hold hands, go arm in arm, or even have a piggy back ride if you wish.

In my view every Romantic sim should have one of these couple walking animations. Try it out.

Page 36

There are some nice touches like these hopping bunnies near the landing area. Spot the other animals around the sim.

Delicate hanging lights curtain the way inviting you forward.

Page 37

Colourful Autumn trees abound, one is magical with unicorns underneath!

If you need relaxing music and are looking to chillout together in a beautiful location then Ariella is the place for you.

Page 38

“A place for people to meet, hang out, and maybe find a special someone”

TELEPORT Actually Love was established in 2016, in honour of the late Avid Miami who owned a prior dating agency called Love Actually. Sadly he passed in March of 2015 and his business was going to be closed for good.

Ariel Jurassic (Co-owner of Actually Love) could not let that happen and could not let her good friend and former lover's dream die, so she opened Actually Love!

Ariel says ‘it’s exactly what Avid Miami's place was all those years ago, but more up to date and ever improving. I can happily say that his dream lives on all these years later.’

6. Romance in the Clouds (teleport) In Issue 7 we listed the best Romantic Ballrooms in Second Life. Now we look at another one called ‘Romance in the Clouds’.

At Romance in the Clouds you can dance under the moon and stars.

Dress is formal but no need to worry if you don’t have any formal attire as a free tux and gown are kindly provided.

Click on the appropriate box below this tree to receive a tux or gown courtesy of the venue.

Page 40

Go onto the ballroom floor to dance in the clouds, click the love-heart to request dance balls and you can even purchase some flowers for your dance partner!

Page 41

There are some romantic seating areas around the edge if you need a breather, or head off to romantic location on your date. Plenty to choose from, see the long array below!

Page 42

You can even have a meal in the restaurant,

which is elegantly designed, the only drawback in my opinion is that it was quite noisy with extra sounds added in.

Page 43

There are some nice touches like these Cello players serenading you,

and a glittery dancefloor surrounded by many lit up trees and love-hearts, so get on your dance shoes and drift onto Cloud 9!
