CMOQ Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I never picked this avatar. It was selected when I signed up and I didn't even notice it. How do I change it? I'm a guy, and this avatar is a female. I don't want it. Do I have to start over again and sign up all over again as a different person or something?

Paola Delpaso Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Your Library contains lots of choices. Just change to one of the pre-defined avatars from there. Moreover, If I would know your username I could drop you a newbie orientation notecard in-world. Is it "CMOQ Resident"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Boccaccio Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hi CMOQ, and welcome to SL. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Inventory-system-folders/ta-p/700095 If you look in your inventory, there's a section that says "Library." There's a folder there that says "Clothing" - and there, you will find Linden Lab's (free) avatar selections. Try a few to see what you like There's video about this: http://vimeo.com/4167344 Then...when you've been here a bit, you can think about swapping your free avatar shape / skin for ones more like what you'd prefer. And yes, as Paola mentions, there are lots of places for new SL residents to obtain free skin/shapes/clothing (I believe your account has to be less that 30 days).

CMOQ Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 I thought my name was CMOQ. What does "CMOQ Resident" mean? There's a Library? I've been here about five minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMOQ Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 I don't want new clothing. I want a different avatar. I'm a guy. This avatar is a girl. I don't want a female avatar. Do I have to register all over again just to change avatars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to register all over again just to change avatars? No, you don't need to register to change your avatar's gender. An avatar is strictly speaking genderless. What ever you dress it with or tack on will make you appear as a gender (or even as something genderless, if you want.) It's one of the many, many customization options you have in SL for your avatar. Your current avatar has a female appearance. In your inventory you'll have items which can give your avatar a male appearance, such as a shape, hair and clothes. You can also find/buy such items in Second Life itself or learn how to make them yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Luminos Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 CMOQ, if you wear a male shape your avatar will change to male. You don't need to start all over again, you can change your avatar's appearance as much and as often as you wish. There are plenty of shapes in the Library Clothing folders, each folder has a whole avatar - shape, skin, hair, eyes as well as clothing. You can mix and match items from different folders - say you like the skin from one and the hair from another, you can just pick the ones you like best. You can also buy new items or pick them up from freebie places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMOQ Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Okay, that's enough answers. How do I get people to stop answering now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalynn Carnell Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 You could ask a Moderator to lock this thread for you, or just let it go. People will see it's been answered, and will stop on their own. Just like any other forum, the thread will die eventually. And, welcome to your Second Life! Hope you have as much fun as I have had over the years. :smileyhappy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurama Bingyi Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 "Resident" is the last name given to users who chose not to input a last name for their avatar. For messaging and contact purposes, your name is technically "CMOQ Resident." When you go into your inventory, go all the way to the bottom (depending on how large your inventory is). Click on "Library," go to Clothing. All of your choices are right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
