How do I use Pepe Body Skin appliers?

[Aceedia]

Hi, I've just bought the lel evo x Sagittarius skin and also the Pepe skin - toned (which I assumed was the body applier) but it doesn't seem to work. It all works for my face and looks amazing but the body not so much it doesn't even do anything when I add/wear it. My body is Maitreya and my head is evo x, If anyone could help that would be great!

Did you purchase the maitreya version of the pepe skin?

[Aceedia]

Yes, when I open the folder it lists all the body types and Maitreya is definitely there. All the icons next to them is a little person though? I don't know if that helps lol.

Then that's an actual skin and not an applier. Have you enabled BOM on your body?

Here's also a great video to learn how BOM works

 

[Aceedia]

'Maitreya Lara body: Maitreya has opted to keep the ‘onion skin’ layers (in the form of additional wearable objects) and is using a BOM relay. You can use any other appliers on top of this (as well as layering system stuff beneath), but you cannot use a skin applier. If you use a skin applier then—since the BOM relay is a skin applier in its own right—you will simply replace the BOM ‘bake’ textures on your body and BOM capability will stop.' 

I was reading through the website you just sent. Does this mean I won't be able to use it with my body? and yes BOM is turned on with both my head and body.

Try removing body alphas, it helped me when I tried using a BOM body skin. With body alpha on the skin didn't appear for some reason

Nothing I'm doing is working. Thank you for your help though!

No, once you enable BOM to your maitreya body (within the HUD), detach your alpha layer and wear the skin it should show up.

I've enabled BOM within the Maitreya HUD and removed the aplha like you said (the only one in the folder) but it's still not showing up at all, I just have no body instead then lol.

You might be wearing another alpha.  Such.as.one included with a mesh head.  Take off any alphas in the head folder also

If you stand naked on a posestand in your room, you should have no alpha layers on.

The only exception in such a case is the eyes, if you use eyes appliers. If you have "missing eyes" that are skin color or black color, then you need an alpha for the eyes only. The alpha layers for eyes in the Evo X head folder has strange names. It was not intuitive what I should use. It is an eye layer that hides both the eyes and the body.

... I do not remember the names, but try to take off and wear the alpha layers until your eyes show up and no other part of the head or body is missing.
