Well, I finally got all my stuff. And after a while, I found out that not only could I not edit any of the things I purchased, but it looked worse than the default ones.
All in all, I got to say, editing your appearance is probably the least user friendly thing I've tried to do in anything ever.
Also, my avatar keeps disappearing chest deep into the ground everytime I go to edit something. There's only so much a guy can take and I don't think I'll be logging into Second life anymore. Maybe if it gets a LOT more user friendly I'll give it another go, but it's been out for ten years, so I'm not going to hold my breath. Good lord was that experience a nightmare...
