Thank you Qie! That at least is a huge relief to hear. Adapting to a new head is much more difficult (and expansive) than adapting to a new skin (if I find one).

To drop a name: Its Pink Fuel. They made skins for a wide range of heads and when I switched skins a while back and was glad, they supported Lelutka + offered a really good selection of pale skins with lots of texture detail on them. Now the issue is, that they sold only appliers. There is no system layer skin in my box. Instead, they now sell a separat bodytexture for BOM bodies and have only two head BOM options, both designed for genus heads.

Those pictures are never straight from SL. They use external 3D rendering programs and pour some photoshop over it. I always take a demo first, before I buy anything from stores with this type of "enhanced" vendor pictures and highly recommend doing the same.

@Nalates Urriah I dug a bit through my inventory and found the main problem I'm having with BOM. I'm Frankensteins Monster of mesh systems. My body is fine. It can do BOM. The HUD is unfortunatly complex in that aspect, but whatever. The head can't do BOM and will probably never, as LeLutka does their evolution heads now... but forgot making a cute head, that would follow the style of "Chloe" (my head). But the nightmare doesn't stop there, as the creator for my skin seems to sleep on BOM...unless you use a freaking genus head ofc... So I would need thousands of Lindens and countless hours to go full BOM, as I would need to replace both my head and skin.

Those 2007 furnished sex dungeon homes with the RL porn on the walls? Their owner are particular terrible when it comes to decoration.

<stares> I'll buy the entire store. <Sims shopping music starts playing>

I was here when we just had system layers (I joined in 2010). So I never struggled with system layers. I used them just fine until I switched to a mesh body. But BOM is just... The whole HUD section for that stuff on mesh body parts is ten times as complicated as appliers were. With appliers you just wear the thing, click a button, done. Now I have this wild puzzle of some mesh parts can do it others can't. I had such a nightmare getting a new skin, because with BOM it suddenly mattered what system skin I was wearing, but I also need an applier, because the head can't do BOM. But if I get a new head, then I'm not sure if it still supports my big collection of make up appliers... So I don't really feel like stuff got easier.

You just got lucky with your houseboat then 😉 I had some awfully shallow boats in the past, with water not deeper than 3m.

First half of Christmas decoration was put up today in the office. The tree will follow after the 29.11.

BOM is the one step that makes everything so much more complicated. Another fking system to balance on top of it all. I did well with appliers and mesh in general, but this thing... I hate it. But its now shoved down our throats, if you want anything new these days. And I feel like creators use it to squeeze more money out of people.

<googles when Thanksgiving is>

Once I get home, I might be tempted to clean out my houseboat as well.

That is in no way "a Karen".

I once got a private message on the forums. A long rant how I could dare to be so rude to his girlfriend. I had no idea what he was talking about until I investigated a bit and found out that he was talking about a thread, that was like 5 years old at that point.

I'll keep my hopes low. Especially because releases on US timezones are awful for me.

@Daniel Voyager I hope before that happens, we'll see more growth down south, to connect the elements of Belli more with each other. I lived in the "upper pickle" as my first house in Belli and it already felt disconnected. Now seeing this raw edge on the Loghome continent and how isolated the Stilts are going to be...ouch. You won't be able to go sailing from there. But still, a really interesting picture... maybe Satori and Belli touch noses...in a far away future.

My "today" is already over in a few hours 🙁

Kraftwork is having some losely christmas themed furniture for this weekends Saturday Sale. Could fit well into Loghomes, Trads or Campers.

<Must resists snarky comment about christian nut jobs> Judgeing by her profile, she won't have a problem with Gor. Its probably shoe stores, that sell flipflops.

lol, who are the "satanic creator's Stores"? I'd like to shop there.

My grandparents owned a house in this style (although with red brick walls, instead of white). The roof needs different care than a normal roof. It usually needs to be redone every 30-50 years and you can't celebrate with firework close by.

The only holidays coming up for me are Christmas and New Year. We will probably not visit my grandmother this year, but if restrictions aren't increased until then, I intend to visit my parents. What I will be missing a little bit are the Christmas Markets, I love some of the food... maybe the city will allow some booths to be up in the inner city for at least some take-away.

Weird, I also thought generation X is like the "default" age group for the SL population.

I know people have already made shapes like that even before mesh (wide hips, big butts, big breasts, tiny everything else) with the default bodies sliders, so there is a market for that.

I hope its not during my work hours... still two weeks before I'm sceduled for home office again.
