SandorWren Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 I changed my skin, and now I'm wearing it in every old outfit. Is there a way of preventing that?
Rowan Amore Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Not if you used appliers and it's the same head and body used in the old outfits. I guess you could make copies of the head and body with previous skin and replace those in the outfit folder but that is kind of a pain in the a**. 1

But I'm going to have to redo all of my outfits with my new head, and I have 36. Edited August 7, 2020 by Bagnu

TT120 Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Did you finally get it to match Pearl? I think I'm going to use a different skin and put the new appliers on that skin so the old outfits still have the old skin and appliers.

Well, maybe at some point.. Did you notice any seam yesterday???
Lillith Hapmouche Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 While you're on Firestorm, this handy tool can be useful: https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/fs_linkreplace ... not just replacing, but deleting outdated outfit links as well as adding some.
Talligurl Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 I don't use outfits at all much anymore, but what I used to do was open the outfit folder and then just wear the clothing items, so it didn't automatically change my skin, makeup, hair ect.
Fenimore Hapmouche Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Make one outfit with just your body stuff that you use as your 'base', then when saving any future clothing outfit, delete those base items from that, so that you have a clothing outfit that is just that, only clothing. Replace body parts in base outfit. Done. That will at least solve this for the future. 1 1

Nalates Urriah Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) The link replace feature is a time saver. I have a set of nude Outfits. They are my base avatars. I start all new outfits from these base outfits. Like Fenimore suggests. I have my Slink Original and Hourglass plus additional copies with fantasy skins. When I get a new skin I decide if I plan to update all my outfits or just use it for new outfits. If I am replacing then I use Replace Links. If not, I make a new base nude outfit for the new skin, body, hear, or whatever. This gives me great control over outfits making updates easy. Once you learn to edit Outfits in the Inventory's Outfits Folder you can make Add-Remove outfits. These are outfits without a skin, head, body, and other parts. They just have the parts I want to add. You can do the same thing with any folder using Add to Outfit or Remove from Outfit. But outfits allow one to more easily activate Gestures. Both are ideal when there is a set of something you'll want to add to a large number of outfits. As an example my Flying Shadow catamaran has a set of HUDs and gestures that I need to add. But, it is all catamaran stuff I would keep with the boat. For things that mix different things together I use an Outfit rather than a folder. It saves me putting links from other things in a folder like the catamaran folder. I think it reduces the number of inventory items I have to use. But, there are multiple ways to do the same thing.

As for alpha cuts, you can save them as a preset with the help of the included Save Sticks. A new stick per outfit. Or if you're ever really bored: make your own auto alpha attachments. https://sl-maitreya.blogspot.com/p/alpha-auto-hide.html 1
MrsSeren Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 This why I save a naked base of Seren with neko tail, ears, and any huds I regular use or jewellery plus my skin appliers I always has on is saved in favourite attachments so much easier than having several outfits. 1

Or if you're ever really bored: make your own auto alpha attachments. https://sl-maitreya.blogspot.com/p/alpha-auto-hide.html I actually went further and created an autohide hud from a tutorial. I find it saves my alphas, but if I remove my clothing, they are still there. I know about the save stick. It's fine, but when I'm with a client I want to just remove my clothing, and have my full body back. It's more professional than having them watch me fiddle around. 1
Emma Krokus Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 Perhaps you could make an extra copy of your body, with your full body, no alphas, in an outfit folder to quickly wear when you want to get naked...? Or have a save stick with no alphas to apply to yourself?

I know no one would care if my shoes were different, but I do.
Rowan Amore Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Just not your socks please. Edited August 8, 2020 by RowanMinx add 1
SandorWren Posted August 8, 2020 Author Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Socks??? Not in SL lol!!! Or RL either during sex!!! Edited August 8, 2020 by Bagnu
Emma Krokus Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 Just add your shoes and / or stockings to your naked body outfit folder:)

Emma Krokus Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 oh good point! haha in my case that would be a couple of hangars full i may just have a tiny shoe obsession

I know no one would care if my shoes were different, but I do. Ok, in all seriousness. Perhaps the outfits you use for work could contain only clothing that requires no alpha. There are several brands available that fit perfectly without having to use any alphas at all. Just make sure to put the huds in with the outfit unless you make dedicated copies of each color. Shoes especially since I often change the color for an outfit. Even clothing with the auto alpha would be preferable to having to use the alpha hud or any saved alphas. 1

I just love some of the ones that don't though.
