Mine Own Second Life

This sim is called Marina Di Luna and it is an island where modern architecture meets classic. Romantic, and definitely with the vibes of the Balkan area (though I'm pretty sure it's more on the Italian side) you can find olive trees, flowers, courtyards, and a gorgeous sea. The realism of this sim is unmatched, granted a lot of it has to do with the environment settings. If you don't have it set to the Environment settings of the sim I highly recommend.

There are so many places to explore and take in the beauty! While I was here there were a lot of couples, to respect their privacy I tried to take the photos when they walked away. Though one did reach out to me because they were where I was taking one, oh well! There is also a beautiful cafe here if you enjoy roleplaying with a butler non the less.

I'm very impressed with this sim, not just the realism but there are so many tiny details. Like for example, there are birds flying throughout and they circle in such a manner and pattern that it just feels like your actually exploring a place in person. I felt so immersed almost as if I was wearing my VR headset. Below I will talk about the different sections of this sim and show some photos as well.

Scenic Views:

There are so many beautiful areas! There is a lot of opportunity for photo ops. I honestly, picked my outfit at random before going out to explore. But I felt I picked the perfect one for exploring this area. Between the island itself where the museum was nestled, to the beaches, to the ocean, and too the beautiful surround sim of mountains there is much to be desired and see. This is a wonderful place for my photographers. I caught so many realistic photos while here and was quite impressed by how a lot of my photos came out. The scenery is definitely one to take time to enjoy. Walk slowly and take it all in! I cannot say it more than I already have but this is a GORGEOUS PLACE. For someone who reviews locations this is one of my favorites and I definitely landmarked it.

Cafe:

There is a very modern cafe, that you walk up to first as you explore. When you first arrive on the sim, the cafe is right in front of you. It is the first thing I walked into while visiting. The decor was simple, modern, and elegant. It however, did remind me more of a hotel than a cafe, but the furniture all matched and created a very pleasant scene.

Courtyard:

The courtyard is to the left of the pool and is ginormous. There are a few statues, columns, and a nice little pond with a lot of walking space. To be fair for my taste it was a little barren and there is so much that could've been done here I felt a decor opportunity was missed but I also understood that the designer didn't want to place too many elements to where things felts crowded or too much. (This is where that couple reached out to me haha just saying)

Island:

There is an island with a bathhouse and a boat in front of it, I left this out of my photos because I wanted to leave something for all of your to explore without me. But its a little hill and it overlooks the mainland with the museum and courtyard. Every element has been placed tastefully.

Overall at the end of the day you could say I'm rather impressed. I feel this sim is perfect for an evening out. I would allot about an hr to explore. It's small but it is so relaxing and the scenery itself is worth sticking around and just looking around. My photographers, Bridgerton/vintage fans, romantic evenings with that special someone, and single explorers would love this location for a nice evening of culture and elegance.
