Peddle Power......on Land

Continuing the bicycle theme we have real bicycles for land.

Simple vintage Bicycle with worn out painted metals. Bell on the handle bars that dings on touch and a light on the front that will automatically turn on and off depending on the time of day.

For couples that want to ride together, there is a tandum version with two seats.

The Tandum Bicycle has synced peddling animations for both people on the bike. Controls can be switched from one person to the other, without getting off the bicycle, so both can share the driving.

Rezzer versions also availble. Made using mesh.

Single seat Bicycle has a Land Impact of 11, Tandum Bicycle's Land Impact is 12.

Available at our inworld shop to try and test or on the marketplace.

Peddle Power on Water

It's been a while again and we have a number of new items, starting with a peddle boat, the Hydrobike

This junk boat is made up of floating pods tied together by chunky bars, but for power to move the boat it uses a bicycle on top. The bicycle is chained to the spinning metal peddles on the back to push forward slowly.

Because of the lack of a second seat, a passenger of the Hydrobike has to stand behind the driver and hang on tight.

The Hydrobike is the first of TUFF's mesh items with many more to come. It has a Land Impact of 14.
Visit the inworld shop to try and buy or can be bought on the marketplace. Also available in red.

Shopping & Gifting Centre

Not long ago we opened up our Shopping & Gifting Centre at our inworld shop. The Centre is a skybox that has tiles of our items grouped together that can be bought or gifted to other people.

The Centre is split across 2 levels, the upper level holds all our boats and is the TP spot, the lower level is the Home & Garden area for all our other items.

To gift an up to date viewer is required to handle the new Textbox feature. Information about buying and gifting is located around the Centre.

To get to the Centre, follow this link or use the teleport signs at each of our sim TP Hubs.

Wind Power

For collecting wind in a rustic setting, we have our new Old Windmill.

The Old Windmill uses the simulator wind and will face the direction of the wind and spin faster or slower depending on wind speed. Using the Control Box on the lower part of the central pole the dynamic spinning from simulator wind can be turned on and off.

On the lower platform is a sit animation.

The Old Windmill uses 18 prims with sculpts and has a ground space of 9.5 x 9.5m.
Can be found at our inworld shop and on the marketplace.

The Lighthouse

Lighting the way is our new Old Wood Lighthouse. The lighthouse is a large wood building standing 42m high.

Sitting at the top is a light beam that spins around with a light glow. On the base is a generator, old and spilling smoke, the generator is connected to the light beam up the top by spinning poles through the centre of the building.

The main room near the top has doors made from scrap tin and slightly boarded up windows. The doors have security built in and can be left open.

Door settings and operations are controled by the Control Box in the main room. By default the main operations which handles the generator and light beam turn on and off depending on sim time, turning on when dark, or operations can be forced on or off.

An offsim version is also available which sits inside a rocky reef. The offsim has reduced features including doors/security but has an added standing cuddle animation on the top deck.

The lighthouse uses a ground space of 18x18m. 69 prims and is built using sculpted and mega prims. Both insim and offsim versions can be found at our inworld shop or on the marketplace.

Model 2 Rowboat Release & Cuddle Rowboat Update

It's been a while since the last update, first up the release of the Model 2 Rowboat.

The Model 2 Rowboat is a high quality rowboat that can change textures with 5 schemes built in. Colour scheme change uses 1 script and is availble in the personal boat using the owner menu and the rezzer version which is clickable on the main face.

Introducing a new feature with the rowboat is the ability to drive the boat while cuddling on the pillows. While rowing the driver can touch the boat and change Position to one of the cuddle pillows and back again. Sitting directly on a cuddle pillow will leave the boat idle.
The Model 2 also has a fishing animation seat and rod giver built in.

The Model 2 Rowboat can be found at our inworld shop or on the marketplace.


With the release of the Model 2 Rowboat and the drivable cuddle feature, we have updated all our cuddle rowboats with this new feature. Don't forget to use the built in updater in the personal and rezzer version to get the new features.

The Fishing Village

It's been a while, but us at TUFF have been hard at work with a new area we're calling the Fishing Village located in our North Of Elements sim.

The Fishing Village is full of structures including little sheds, large houses, boats, cabins, paths and plants. Around the village is a long walkway going around most of the sim and centred around the main TP point for the sim.

The main feature of the village are the large houses overlooking the walkways and ocean around. The smaller Old Wood House:

This house is made of old thick wood and includes large decking and a upper level loft with a massive window and glass doors. The lower level of the house is large and open with a staircase on one side with a back door under the stairs.

Also in the area and based off the smaller house is the Large Old Wood House:

Wider and slightly longer, this house has a much larger upper loft area and includes the same massive loft window and glass doors. On the lower level is a back dock cut into the house and is surrounded by windows and glass doors.

Included in this larger house is door security and window privacy. House settings are handled by a Control Box on the lower back wall. Manual for the large house can be found on the right column in this blog.

Connecting the different areas of the village is a path, including a dirt path:

This path is part of a collection of dirt paths and ground coverings found next to the main North Of Elements TP point. The pack includes 3 different strength dirt paths and 2 different ground coverings which we've used under a few sheds.

A small island next to the village has a number of fishing related structures, one of which is a dry dock with a sailboat on it.

The dry dock is made from sculpted polls holding the blue & white sailboat up high.

Also on the island is a large fishing boat display. This boat is not drivable and is full of detail in a moldy dark wood texture and big crain on the back.

A number of seats are included around the boat, including a fishing animation and fishing rod giver.

The Fishing Village can be found at North Of Elements and has links back to our main sim for boats.
Items can also be found on Xstreet and now the new SL Marketplace.

With these Dock Rezzers we've changed the decking to sculpts like yesterdays Boathouse update, reducing the total prims and adding a more damaged and rustic feel to the docks.

Boathouse Updates

Big round of updates coming over this week, but first we've released an update to our boathouses for the Rowboat HDs. First time since it's original release the boathouse structure has been modified.

Main part of this update is the planks of the decking, been changed from individual prims to sculpts. With this we've been able to get a look more suited for the boathouse and the TUFF style with the planks damaged edges and rough look. Using the sculpts the boathouse's prim count has been reduced by 10 prims, 24 in total for the boathouse rezzers and 23 for the boathouse structure.

Also in this update and more for the new customers is a change in the Help guide in the way of an online solution and removed the notecards (More about this in another post).
