For many years, R. Lion has been one of the best-known names in OpenSim. Thousands of residents have furnished their homes, landscaped their regions and customised their avatars using the vast collection of free content created and distributed by Richard Lionheart and the R. Lion team.
Originally located on the Watersplash Grid, R. Lion became a landmark destination that many considered an essential stop for both new and experienced OpenSim users. During 2026 the stores disappeared from their long-time home, prompting widespread speculation throughout the OpenSim community. Fortunately, R. Lion has now found a new home on CaveGrid, where the regions have been rebuilt and continue to expand with new products and updated stores.
The iPleasure region is designed as a shopping destination rather than a traditional scenic region. Visitors will discover an extensive collection of themed stores covering almost every aspect of virtual life. Whether you’re furnishing a home, building an entire estate, creating a public venue or simply looking for the latest avatar accessories, there is an impressive amount of content to explore.
Among the many departments are complete mesh houses, furniture sets, kitchens, bedrooms, living room collections, gardens, trees, plants, outdoor décor, roads, building components, lighting, decorative objects and countless accessories suitable for almost any style of build. The stores are particularly well known for providing high-quality content completely free of charge.
Avatar customisation is another major attraction. Dedicated stores offer mesh heads, bodies, clothing, hair, footwear, jewellery and accessories for both male and female avatars. Regular updates continue to introduce new products and improvements, ensuring returning visitors frequently discover something new.
The region also includes animations, scripts, club equipment and utilities that are popular with venue owners and estate managers. One recent example is the continually updated Calling Post system, demonstrating that R. Lion remains actively involved in developing practical OpenSim tools alongside the extensive library of mesh content.
A visit to R. Lion can easily take several hours. The enormous selection of products means it is well worth arriving with plenty of inventory space and allowing time to explore every section. Even long-time visitors regularly return to discover newly added stores and updated collections.
Although many people were concerned when the original Watersplash location disappeared, the move to CaveGrid has ensured that one of OpenSim’s most valuable free resources continues to thrive. For builders, estate owners and everyday residents alike, R. Lion remains one of the premier shopping destinations in the Hypergrid.
R. Lion remains one of OpenSim’s most iconic destinations, offering one of the largest collections of free, high-quality mesh content available anywhere on the Hypergrid. Whether you’re creating a new home, developing an entire region or upgrading your avatar, iPleasure is a destination that belongs on every OpenSim resident’s itinerary.
