I saw those but didn't know if I'd like them or not. That's another thing I am confused on. The body skin will be different than the head skin. Right? So how do you get the body skin to match the face skin? Especially since they would be 2 different skins from 2 different stores (stray dog and one of the ones you suggested)

So right now I have the free head from LeLutka (spelling?) and a free skin from Stray Dog. I guess the only thing I need now for a basic mesh AV is a body? Would anyone know of the free/cheap ones from the links above would be ok to start with or will they look too weird with a high quality skin/head? And also I think I heard I would need a shape for the head? Is that true?? I can't use it without a shape? Soo confused

I guess the best time to try to get in is late SLT. All have been full for me the past 15 min. EDIT: Took me 30 min just to get into the SIM but I snagged it!

This is awesome. Just getting back into SL after many breaks here and there. My AV is over 13 years old. Eek! And unfortunately don't have the funds to go mesh anytime soon so huge huge shout out to all the creators out there gifting and the community for giving us a heads up that aren't in the know about these types of things. Yall are wonderful. I heard there's other 12 Days of Christmas throughout SL starting today and in some places it's a different give every day and so it changes and the previous gift is no more. Does anyone have a list of all these events so we can be sure to not miss out? Many thanks and Happy Holidays!

OMG what is this!? 12 Days of Christmas?? I'm glad someone said something or I would have ever known. Thanks all and thanks for all the suggestions and posts on the topic. Forgive my noobness but this 12 Days of Christmas.. is it only one store doing 1 gift every day for 12 days or is it multiple stores? Where does one go to get info on this?

Not going to write each and every person individually but thanks for the help thus far everyone. Will try out Muddy's next time I am able to.

Just curious if there's any stations out there that are similar to Real Life stations where it's actually got radio DJs talking in between songs, Second Life focused ads, event and sim shoutouts, etc. I love all kinds of music so I guess it doesn't really matter on the genere. I just want more ways to connect with SL, keep up with stuff, and be in the know. Please drop your recommendations or direct me where to find them. Thanks!

This account is nearly 14 years old and I've never really even used it since my PC wasn't so good at the time of creation but since it actually has a first/last name I figured I would make the switch. Never had anything on my previous account anyways. Never kept up with fashion, etc. But I'm older now and want to change all of that so figured I'd dust this guy off and start fresh since it's basically an empty inventory anyways. With that said, I am blown away with the complexity of mesh. It's honestly a headache. Props to everyone who knows what they are doing. But I for the life of me have no earthly idea what I am doing and I won't have the extra funds for a bit to go all out on a high quality mesh AV so I'd like to find some freebies (if they even exist) to practice so when I can splurge I will know exactly what I am doing and won't be freaking out for hours on end. Been doing research and found some links FabFree and VirtualBloke. Not sure how old the FabFree link is but VirtualBloke seems to be roughly a year n a half old and the instructions aren't very clear for a complete mesh noob in my opinion. If anyone knows of any updated mesh freebies for men (AV, clothes, etc) or any guides n what not for mesh noobs like me please feel free to share. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't rebake. Can't detach anything off of me. Others can see me fine but on my end I can't do anything. I can TP just fine tho. I'm not in any groups. But I joined one and swithced it off like the wiki said. That didnt help. I tried leaving it, switching different outfits.. clearing cache.. rebooting PC. Nothing is fixing this. I can log out and log in on another AV just fine with no issues. It's just this one that's a problem. And no its not my internet connection and I dont have any other instances of SL running. EDIT: The first response didn't help me and as I said it's not my internet. I can log in just fine with other AVs and they all load fine... as a precaution I reset the router/modem and still didn't solve the problem. Also tried the solutions on the link below. Still a no go. Edit 2: Just randomly fixed itself. No help needed.
