saemantha Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi everyone. Please accept my apologies if this has been done to death but I havnt a clue how to proceed. I have the slink hourglass body, slink hands and feet but this is all over the top of my my original sl body using the slink hourglass alpha mask for body only, classic head still showing. I would like to change the appearance of my face and in the old days as i remember all this needed was a new skin. Ive tried this but no visible change to my face can be seen and on some occassions im shoved up in the air by about 10 feet ?? and my body get sort of morphed, tall and skinny with huge hands !! I am totally lost with this and thinking this needs a mesh head etc ior is it just a simple case of changing my skin and im being a thicko Would appreciate any help please Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagadin Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Sounds to me like you need a skin that has both a system skin and an Omega applier (plus the slink Omega relay -- you add the HUD and maybe click it first to let the system know it's there then the Omega skin applier will put the skin on your body, hands and feet.) I used that setup -- Slink hands, feet and body with a system head for a while and it worked just fine. The only time I ever saw that big hands and feet thing was with a demo shape or skin (I forget which). Edited September 4, 2017 by Sagadin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parhelion Palou Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It sounds like you've applied a demo shape rather than a skin. Demo shapes usually make your hands huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demo shapes usually make your hands huge. Yes, this must be the issue with the shape change. A skin does not change the body. Have you used a skin applier when you try to change face skin? Appliers have a box symbol in the inventory, it attach to screen and you click it. An applier can not change the classic head. You need to use the skin. The skin icon is here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Inventory#Body_Parts Some creators stop making skin for classic heads. Their demo skins will perhaps have a default texture for the head part.

I already have the omega hud for slink, either that or go for a mesh head The applier is for the body, the system head needs a new system skin to match the applier skin. If you end up getting a mesh head make sure it also works with Omega -- that may require a second Omega relay (unless you get a Slink head or one with built in Omega compatibility). Demo, demo, demo before buying a new head. As I mentioned, you don't need a mesh head with the Slink body to solve your skin issue. You just need a skin that includes BOTH a system skin and an Omega applier and there are plenty of those around. Sometimes skin makers sell the applier separately, sometimes it's all bundled in a package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saemantha Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 ok got that. any recomendations as to the best place to go ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagadin Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 If you can cough up a few hundred lindens to join each group 7 deadly skins and Wow skins have lots of gift skins that are nice quality and many of them have the system & Omega versions. I'm sure others have good recommendations too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 If you like the Wow skins (via demo check), near the normal monthly gift is a box filled with tons of past group skin gifts. Cost is L$450 to join though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you want to look like? There are some skin types. Pink Fuel is very popular for their innocent faces and the body appliers have lots of options. Glam Affair have very sweet faces too. For both these stores, they were huge in system skins for the default head. Now they sell mostly head appliers. For Pink Fuel, I know there is a section that you teleport to from the main store, with all sort of old system skins. If you find the face you like there, then try the appliers in the mainstore. For Glam Affair, I haven't been in that store lately, I am not sure how many of their old skins they sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
