Physical Gap Between Head and Body Fix

[simplemint]

I have attached a photo to this post showing the physical gap between my head and body - I'm not sure how to fix this (if it even can be fixed), so any advice you have would be much appreciated!

For reference, I am wearing the new Lelutka Lilly head (the one given for free at the moment) paired with the Kalhene Anya body. I am using a BOM skin from 7 Deadly Skins as well. The shape is the default given with the Lilly Head. If it matters at all, I am in the Firestorm Viewer.

Kalhene has similar proportions as the Maitreya Lara, but it does not have a neck fix option, and neither does the Lelutka head, so I am not able to change anything related to the neck there.

I've tried going to edit my shape to add more body fat, add more body thickness, and also change the length and thickness of my neck, but so far, I have not been able to fix the neck using any of these methods.  

I have not had a problem with a physical neck gap with the Logo or Genus heads that I've worn before, so I'm not quite sure what the problem with this specific head is. I really like the head and would love to wear it without a choker or something to cover up the gap! 

UPDATE
Thank you to RowanMinx! The issue was that I had not updated my Kalhene body to the newest version, 3.5, which comes with a Lelutka head fix. Adding that fix closes up the physical gapping. Though there is still a seam, that definitely beats having a gap! I was on 3.4, so if anyone else stumbles across this thread and has the same problem, try updating to 3.5.

Since she said she used the default Lily shape, that isn't it.  My only though is that if the neck is set at "5 body fat" say and you changed your body fat to 7 or so (the body looks bigger than the head to me in the neck area) then that could be it. If you did NOTHING to the shape that came with the head then is sounds like an incompatibility with the body. Since that is a not one of the more popular bodies that could be it.   

@Skell Dagger would be the one to comment on this :D.    Many of us have lived with chokers though LOL.   Nice, I agree when choker are a CHOICE and not a necessity.  

I suspect that if the same thing happened with Lara we would have heard about it here already (a few times) :D.

Always start with one of the shapes provided with your head.  Then adjust the facial and body features to look the way you want.

Thank you so much! I will pop in world to grab the neck fix and see if that solves anything. I was thinking, like @Chic Aeon, that it was perhaps an incompatibility between the Kalhene body and the Lelutka head but I'm glad to hear that Kalhene has addressed that. Fingers crossed! I'll update the first post with more info if it does/does not work.

The whole body is updated so if you have the 3.5 version, I imagine it would be in a redelivery?

I have the 3.4, so that explains the neck fix not being included in my version!

I just updated to the 3.5 and the neck fix fixes the physical gapping. Thank you so much! There is unfortunately a seam at the neck, which I think is a bit more pronounced than it usually would because of the neck fix, but it's much more manageable than a gap.

It can also be just SL weirdness.  I've had mismatches occur at my wrists for SLink hands, or ankles for SLink feet.  They disappeared the next time I logged in.

I've had the same problem and found that if I attach a SL alpha for body that leaves your SL head intact, then I could attach other shapes until I found one that filled in the gap; of course, then I had to readjust the shape to the body I wanted.
