LAQ skin and Legacy Classic Mesh body

[saramalta]

Hi, i recently bough a gift "Legacy Classic Mesh body " from their store and used it with LAQ skin but skin doesn't mix with body and shows patches of skin and distorted arm movement. What can be the issue and from where i can get cheap skins for Legacy mesh body so that it will compatible with it ? thanks

   Are you wearing an alpha to hide the system body beneath?

   Ah, yes - you're wearing a full body + head alpha then, you'll need one that only hides the body.

where can i get separate body alpha layer only as the one they gave makes whole body ? do i need to get mesh head as well as my current head is not mesh ?

   You don't 'have' to get a mesh head, no. There are body-only alphas (and usually mesh bodies come supplied with both). Here's one for example: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/SA-Avatar-Alpha-Layers-Pack-Free/1309176

   Mind that if you go BOM, you will not need an alpha. Whether your body is BOM compatible or not I couldn't tell though, and if you go BOM you can't use an applier skin.

Please see your IM's inworld, Sara.

You also have another option with the "Legacy Classic Mesh body " body - which is to click the BOM button - this will let classic skins show up on your body.

Here is a good blog to find out more about BOM (Bakes on Mesh) - http://www.virtualbloke.com/archives/3634 .

Good luck !

I think you girls need the free finger nail/toe nail fix for that BOM.  Think that's free on Marketplace too.

For the TMP classic default system avatar what ever they're calling it to use anything other than the built in skins you need to remove the body alpha and activate BoM in the HUD you need media enabled as this body relies on an external server. you can wear up to 90% of pre-existing TMP content with the body anything you see that has a "Classic Avatar" logo on it is not specifically for the confusingly titled Classic body by TMP/The Shops that they don't want you to refer to them as anymore, but for the original LL system avatar
