I still haven't recovered from all the socializing last weekend, so I've been inworld on Cora and did a bit of self-care by updating this alt.  They have a new skin and hair, but I just raided their inventory for an outfit because I have no idea where to shop for neutral clothes (and shopping is still being out in public)

I was cycling through items in the jewelry folder when I noticed Cora had no fingernails.  Well, I just put on a new skin, so I'm trying to figure out what happened.  My mind is thinking that everything is BOM now, so do I need BOM nails?  The only thing I really changed was the skin.  Does BOM skin cover nails?  I don't remember this happening on any other avatars.  I open the body HUD and start clicking all the nail colors.  Nothing happens.  It can't be appliers, right?  I am using a BOM body.  I try all the nail appliers anyway.  Nothing happens.  Uummm...  I look on Marketplace for BOM nail polish. Yeah, that's not the problem.  No such thing.  I am about a half hour into obsessing over the nails by this time.

I considered looking for a tutorial to find out where I messed up, but first, the body HUD one more time.  I'm clicking all over the HUD hoping for a miracle or at least a light bulb appearing over my head, when I click the nail length thinking maybe the nails are just tiny. 😄 The nails appear!  Yes, at some point in time I had turned them off.  I can't remember when.  Cora has been wandering around SL for months or years (who knows how long) with her nails turned off.

This adventure in dressing an avatar has been brought to you by 12 1/2 years of being in SL and still not knowing what the hell I'm doing.

So, here is a picture of updated Cora... and it doesn't even show the hands. Gawd!!! 

The rest of you make having a new outfit everyday look effortless and then there's me. 😊

Remember. Your get to see all your mistakes. We get to see ours. You don't. We only take pictures when we have it right. And we may take several pictures and do some post-processing to make the BEST picture... which is the only one we post. And we likely are never going to tell you what we think is wrong with the image/outfit/look we posted. So while you know know what is wrong in your image... (wrong often just meaning not they way you wanted things) we don't. So, that is a nice shot and I  thought it very nicely done. If you hadn't said anything, I would not have know there was any problem.

While this section of the forum is a good place to ask questions and get help... I suspect many of prefer a separate thread for when you as for help.

I'm so going to hell. Or Middle Earth. Thoorg-Nira would be honored if you'd join her for a dinner of tortured souls and a nice chianti

If you ever find yourself in the 5th of 7th circle of Hell, tell the tormentors you know me :P
