appear

[lizzie Ibor]

I'm not new to SL..   But this is really upsetting me. Last week I logged on to find myself looking like a Ruth with no eyes ? So I've read what I should do to fix it and nothing works. Because when I right click my avatar to go to appearance I have no appearance button ? and when I try to use all the wonderful tips I've been sent I get a pop up saying

"Can't change appearance until clothing and shape are loaded"

I used SLV and Phoenix but I get the same problem and the same message. it will not allow me to put a new hair base on or any clothes and I've tried rebake many times and changing my active group and clearing my cache and I do not use Norton.

I use phoenix and this is the first time I've had this problem and I cannot find a good way to fix it !!

Hello lizzie. Obviously your inventory can't be loaded. At first try to test your avatar and see if that helps. In Phoenix it is under Menu Advanced, Character, Character Tests and Test Male / Female. If it works you will see your avatar like a newbie but after you can change again outfit wearing your favorite one. Usually this command it is enough to fix your problem.

If the problem remains clear your cache: Menu Edit (In Phoenix) --> Preferences --> Network & Folder. Click clear in both Disk Cache Location and Chat Log Files Location --> OK

Alternatively (and better for me) you can log out and clear your cache manually:

C: \ Users \ (USER NAME) \ AppData \ Roaming \ SecondLife and

C: \ Users \ (USER NAME) \ ApplData \ Local \ PhoenixViewer

Delete everything in those folders and restart first your computer and after the program. Usually the folder Appdata is a hidden folder. (Windows Tools \ Folder Options \ View & enable Show Hidden Files/Folders)

Have in your mind that if you clear your cache manually you will lost all your private conversations which are saved in your computer. To avoid it copy the folder with your username in the folder Secondlife in another position in your hard disk. It is another one reason, it is suggested to clear your cache manually.

If you have more that 1 viewers installed in your computer, you must to do it for all following the same paths in your hard disk.

For example for Viewer 2 the "path" is: C: \ Users \ (USER NAME) \ ApplData \ Local \ Secondlife

Same for all the viewers you have, even you use them occasionally.

After that (i repeat restart your computer) and log in a protected land without lag like Smith, Lime or Pooley. There open your inventory, type something in search there and wait fetching ALL your items till the last one. That means you get back, you download your inventory. During the downloading you avoid to do something else like teleporting, moving, chatting etc and also is good not to run other applications. When it finishes, try to change outfit choosing one with just the necessary stuff (skin, shape, hair, eyes, pants and shirt) without any attachments.

Good luck.

try putting on a default avatar. find one in your library clothing folder and drag it on to yourself -or- right click replace.
