Have you looked at <UTILIZATOR> - Normie Head. Its only 500L and is modify. I did not see your photo before I posted, but I think Normie would work well for you. Just a thought.

As far as the price goes, keep an eye on Akeruka, they have sales what seams like quite often. Right now their Beta BoM head is 1k, it will go up to 5k when finished. Kind of soon I think, and you will get free updates. My only mesh head I use was free from AK and after adjusting it some it looks nothing like the ad poster, I even came close to my system head that I liked, but the mesh is better (IMHO). But it is a bit of work, but I really stink at this and I managed. And my alt has a different AK head that was also free, I just don’t have the funds to go plunking down 5k for a head, but I have two avatars that have free mesh heads, and that is all they use, in fact the only heads they have.

Thanks, I learned something. But I have never seen that, I don’t use makeup beyond what comes with my head, and not much of that, I’m not very good at this.

As a consumer I now have my Body, Head and Viewer all updated and I like what I see. It hasn’t changed. I don’t buy skins, I like the skin I’m in, I love my Head and Body, so I am basically not paying any attention to BoM, for me, nothing has changed. And everything was free so that was good. I have and use Omega, the Materials aspect of it is what matters, Big Time What Matters, I mean, Really Big Time What Matters. So how do I do Materials with BoM? Everyplace I look I see that BoM does not support Materials, is that true? And if so, This is a step forward? Will BoM support Materials down the road? How long? I just don’t see it being of any value to me, others love it and that is great, but I don’t see me using it at all. And people talking about it fixing alpha clashing, if you need alphas, your clothes don’t fit, go shopping! And as far as complexity goes, I am almost always lower than anyone around me, always, so that part is of no help to me. Just some thoughts from a Consumer about BoM.

I have two avatars, one lives in Meadowbrook (over 4 years now) and one in Bellisseria. I personally have more lag in Bellisseria than Meadowbrook. But everyone I guess is different. The houses in Meadowbrook have more open space in them, for me that is critical and why I like Meadowbrook houses better, but Bellisseria is pretty and laid out much better. I just live in my sky box in Bellisseria, in Meadowbrook I don’t need a sky box.

I went to a mesh body for one reason and one reason ONLY, to get rid of alpha cuts. I don’t use them, period! Okay, if I buy something cheap that has no demo, then maybe, but most of that just gets deleted if it does not fit. You can only use clothing that is made for the body you are using. A mesh body is better but way more difficult to purchase clothing for, absolutely most of the clothing on the market will not fit your body, no matter what body you have. I consider the market broken because of this making most of the clothing usable. I have resorted to using two different mesh bodies that are kind of close to each other, that gives me a larger assortment of clothing to pick from. But I think mesh is better, its just way, way more expensive and way, way less selection of what fits

I have the Maia [AK]-AKERUKA head and got a free update to BoM with redelivery. Looks like they are releasing them one head at a time as they are updated, and a number of them have already been done.

I am 5.01 feet tall according to the viewer, in my 12 years I have never been banned from anyplace because of my height. But my avatar looks nothing like a child.

If I use BoM and put on bra and panties, bake them in place, when I TP anyplace I will never again rez completely naked. What is baked on is like my skin, if my skin shows, my baked on lingerie shows, so never completely naked on TP again. I like BoM a little better all the time, if that is how it works.

For viewers: From Kokua 6.3.0 Release Notes "The primary driver behind this release is LL’s 6.3.0 release which introduces Bakes On Mesh."

Some do but its because I did not see it and there was no demo, so low linden cost mostly. And I have found you can turn off the alpha in the body HUD. But when you relog its back on, so I just don’t use them very often. But clothing I use on a daily basis has no alpha included or needed.

It took me a long time to go from the Classic Avatar to a mesh avatar, but the one thing that pushed me over the edge is getting rid of ALPHA CUTS. To me, alpha cuts are for the Classic Avatar and if you need them for a mesh body, your doing something wrong. I have loads of clothing that fits. If I see clothing with an alpha I will look long and hard for something else rather than add an alpha to my body, that is what I spent loads of Linden$ to get rid of. That is how “I” look at alphas and mesh bodies.

I think Bellisseria will have a negative impact on the privet rental business. I have rented before and lost my house because one reason or another having nothing to do with me. Being on Linden land and in a Linden house I feel safe that that will not happen. Oh wait, I have a house in Meadowbrook and the Linden’s are saying they are going away at some point after Bellisseria and the new homes are all in place. So not much different from renting in the privet sector, house goes away having nothing to do with me. The safety aspect of having a Linden home over the privet sector is gone, or will be.

I have the Tonic Fine and it can use slink shoes. I have a lot of shoes and have never seen any that don't fit.

What will become of the old Premium homes? I know they say the old homes are going to disappear but I hope it will be a long long time. I have been in my older Linden Home for years and dearly love it. I looked at the new homes and don’t like them, well I can’t really say I don’t like them, its more like I hate them. The tiny little rooms that “For Me” are completely useless, I have no interest at all in decorating, I just can’t do it. I made an alt Premium for a month and got a new home rather easily, very lucky I guess. I put up a sky box and wow do the people in Bellisseria love their sky boxes, they were everywhere! Hopefully the Lab will make future homes with more room in them, or I guess I could just leave it empty and live in a sky box. That is what my alt did for the three or four days she had her house in Bellisseria, then she abandoned it and went back to Basic.

Ayela said: Remember, just because something isn't illegal, doesn't mean that a business is legally obligated to provide you with that service. That’s an understatement. But still does not answer my question, why keep me out of the sim. And no I do not expect an answer, I just find it nonsensical.

I live in Florida and what I don’t understand is why I can’t even go in the sim. I understand I can’t gamble but that can easily be taken care of, the same as it keeps me out of the sim. I like the live entertainment in SL and when there is a show in a gambling sim, I can’t go see the show, has happened. Why keep me out of the entire sim and not just keep me off the gambling equipment? But I do admit I know nothing about it because I don’t gamble any how. I’ll be back in a minute, I need to go get my lottery ticket. And that is another thing, gambling is rampant in Florida, but I can’t gamble in Second Life????? (LMFAO)

Any chance the Alchemy Viewer will get updated now?

I have had glasses for years, don’t even know when I started. Got these not long ago, just updating my look a little.

I really liked Kirsten's viewer and when Nirans Viewer came along it was a pleasure to use. But Black Dragon leaves me cold. Its not that I don’t like it or think its bad, I just don’t have the skills to use it, at least that is the best I can come up with thinking about why I don’t like it. I have installed it two or three times only to just give up on it. But seeing this post I now know why Nirans Viewer felt so good to use, it was a beautiful piece of work. My viewer of choice now is Alchemy and I’ve been using it for well over a year now. I keep Kokua installed and updated along with the Second Life viewer but I use Alchemy 90% of the time now, but the poor thing hasn’t been updated for about two years now. I will hate to see it go away, its comfortable.

Have the trailers set so every time you change styles instead of just disappearing it burns down before the new trailer style appears, or have that so it happens randomly when changed.

Some people, like me, like love the old Linden Homes. But they are packed so tightly its ugly, the sim I am on has almost 50 homes in it. (Meadowbrook area) So, as the old homes become empty, remove them, when enough are gone, make the rest 1024 foot print giving them more prims and a yard. Meadowbrook has a line of empty sims on its north side, start the 1024 lots there and make it so only Meadowbrook residents can move there, from an old Meadowbrook house, as they move, delete the old 512 houses. And like Bellisseria make it so you can pick your home style from the homes that are already in use in Meadowbrook. If you leave a buffer between the lots like has been done in Bellisseria, it would look a lot nicer and attract a lot more people. Make half a dozen sims that can be randomly put down, no fancy paved roads, LOL, make dirt roads, its old. Just a fun thought. IMHO

What would you call a normal height of an avatar, my avi is 5’ 1” and I am smaller than most almost every place I go. LOL, I see a lot of bellybuttons.

I just measured them, my 512 house the ceilings are 5m, my house in Bellisseria is much less than that, they are lower than a lot of builds in SL. The Bellisseria houses are just tiny, lower ceilings and smaller foot print, and there is no way around that, they are just small.

Over the years I could take photos of the region I am in and the ones around me and shown it to be busy, other time I could show it almost empty, it changes. But I agree, not a community, but its not built with that in mind from the way it looks to me. I think Linden Lab has learned from their first Homes and have made improvements. Looking at them there is no comparison at all between the old and the new, they are completely different, the land the houses, everything. And it looks like the improvements are paying off for them, but Bellisseria is very young, we will see how it goes, but I have high hopes for it. But with that much land to place a house on I am hoping they provide something with more floor space and no tiny rooms, even like the old Linden homes, make a subdivision for different style homes. Without looking I believe the old homes are on 3 or 4 different continents, we may see that with the new homes also in time. And just a side note, when I first got my Linden Home, I would get the message that no houses are available like what I was looking for, very much like Bellisseria is now, just saying.
