LamiaAmorist Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I just bought a premium membership along with being a new member that had not yet launced for the first time. I launch the game and my avatar is a male despite choosing a female during account set up. I can't figure out how to fix this. Also all the graphics are gray despite the fact my computer is brand new top of the line from best buy, one of the fastest best computers they had available. Any suggestions?

LamiaAmorist Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Kay well.... that is a little overwhelming, I played SecondLife years ago.... I don't remember it being so complicated. Is there anyone who can tell me how to change the sex of my avatar? If I could just do that for now I would be happy. People "in the game" are not very helpful at all.

Imagin Illyar Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 It's really easy to switch to a female. Just right click on your avatar and select Edit my Shape. In there you can select male or female and adjust many sliders to change your looks. Open your inventory (click the suitcase icon on the sidebar on the right side) then scroll down to Library and open the Clothing folder. You'll see many initial avatar outfits there, some male, some female. Just drag a folder from the inventory onto your avatar and it will change outfits. Hang in there, it is a bit overwhelming at first but trust me, it gets easier with familiarity. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Huntress Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The male of female shape is set by (drumroll) your shape. To change to a female, the fastest way is to put on a female shape. Open your inventory. Go to the Library > Clothing and pick out a female avatar. Just right click and wear any shape you find there. You could also edit your shape and click the "female" radio button.
