    That lottery game has my attention. Is it for group only? How much does it cost to join? Is it for store credit or lindens?

    I just checked the lottery thing and this is the message I got:  ENERGY Weekend Price Event ~ Subscriber KIOSK: You have been subscribed! Click me to unsubscribe, access old messages, or see all the KioskNet subscriber groups.

    The store isn't closing in SL. It was a vague announcement at best, I think we shouldn't read too much into it. They will still be on Roblox and other platforms.

    The store IS closing in SL. The CSR's have announced that in group and her discord group is gone as well.

    It's not exactly the right thread for this, but I'll ask anyway - I'm missing two essential wardrobe items for the Lara X: A plain tube dress, and especially jeans with a low waist. Yeah yeah I know ultra high waist is fashionable right now but I need those 90s ones that barely cling to my hips. :P

    Has anyone seen either? Preferably with modify perms.

    Riot has some

    Make sure you have enough money in your RL bank account or your avatar can be suspended for non payment, then you have to chase support to get it going again.

    You can check your card is all working and hooked up to SL by buying a small amount of lindens.   

    They won't suspend your account for quite a while, i know this for a fact because i've had payment fail a couple of time because of my check being late deposited in my account, so that is a wrong assumption. Once you do have the money it will automatically be taken out of whatever payment info you have. I want to say it's 3 months before they will actively suspend your account but don't quote me on that.

  5. I feel the need to correct an error. It was NOT CSI: Miami it was CSI: New York. I saw the episode and "I" was one of the people who checked out Second Life. So, yes there are people that joined SL because of that show. Just thought I'd throw that out there and btw? The REAL SL was nothing like you saw on the show! LOL.

    Well, it's a little bit of mine and a lot of Fancy Decor + Kraftwork.

    Let me explain. I found a really nice pool but it's was too large and too white. Here's the MP link to the pool. So I decided to use the pool insert and then make a base for the pool. Like this:

    home_011.thumb.jpg.95a31036ba4a84d03b2f65f908c74918.jpg

    Then I made the pool not so deep and tinted the surround to blend with the brick texture that came with the Med Content Pack.

    I've done this many times over the years. It's kind of like how we take kitchens from houses we've bought previously to use in our Linden Homes. Only this time I'm pulling a pool out of a build to use in a different way than the creator originally intended. You probably already have a house with a pool in your inventory that you could pull out and try to do this as well.

    I actually do have a couple of pools that I could probably use and thank you so much for sharing that!

    It's been slow going getting my Mediterranean situated. Christmas has gotten in the way, but I'm making a little bit of progress. I've got so much more to do, but I'm really loving this theme already.

    I'm happy with the outside but I may still end up tweaking stuff. Here's a peak at the inside with just the major pieces in place. Still needs all the little clutter items that make it look like a home.

    I made my first mistake. Not a huge mistake since I now own a dress for LaraX but I bought it having trusted the brand and it being on sale and seeing "Lara" in tiny print on the ad hehe.

    Yeah yeah demo always, my bad. I'd probably still have bought it but I was expecting a 5.3 Petite size.

    So yeah, LaraX clothes on weekend sales already. It was Blume by the way, all of their stuff is nice (and mod!).

    I'll put it away and try to remember when I've got enough to make the switch.

    Amelia if you have the petite add on you can go to the store and do a redelivery from the desk and will get the full body petiteX

    Ya, the Picasso line has a lot of shine. When I demod it they didn't have the larax in the demo, just the 5.3..  When the shine got around the hips and waist it reminded me of what happens when a black hole bends light around it.. It definitely depends on the skin for sure.

    [BB]  has  been quick with the updates for sure. :)

    I must have demo'd a thousand skins and almost every one of them had some kind of shine. I mean, really? Does your skin shine like that in RL??? lol

    I like when creators are quick to change and [BB] is definitely not one to let the grass grow under their feet.

    A lot of that is going to depend on your skin.. like with Velour Picasso, you won't get a larax to look right in a velour lara 5.3 skin..

    They reworked the crotch on the laraX so things get really crazy around the hips and waist unless it's a larax version..

    I had the same problem with things not working well with my Itgirls queen line with the lara 5.3 version.. But I switched to the Reborn version and it works perfect on my laraX..

    I think a lot depends on how much details are in the body skin and if they have shine in certain areas  that have been worked on  and are different from the lara 5.3

    I'm currently using Not Found and Dee Talez and from what I am seeing, there isn't a difference, which I'm glad because I had a heck of a time finding skins that don't look like a ton of oil has been poured all over it. 

    Also, if you bought any Belzebubble from MP, there are a lot of outfits that they have updated to the LaraX and PetiteX

    Leave it on, should just work.

    Always has done for me when swapping BOM enabled bodies. I mean it should always just work since the way BOM works is that the body faces are set to channels (BAKED_UPPER, BAKED_LOWER) and SL handles what is actually assigned to those channels via the skin you are wearing.

    Some people are saying that LaraX might need a specific skin to look best but I've not noticed anything, I haven't looked too closely but it seems fine to me.

    Thanks Amelia, when I did try it on my skin looked ok, but like you I haven't looked that close.

    I suspect that most creators will probably drop Lara in favour of LaraX (and Petite in favour of PetiteX) going forward. Some vendors may choose to support both for a limited time, but I can't see that happening indefinitely.

    For example, almost all vendors have dropped support for Belleza's older bodies (Freya, Isia, and Venus), in favour of the new GenX bodies (Classic and Curvy). Similarly, nobody is still creating for the older eBody mesh bodies, in favour of Reborn.

    Oh absolutely, I've gotten more and more notices from creators saying they will no longer support the old Maitreya and I suppose that's ok, I just have to get used to the body that's all. Question: LaraX already has BoM enabled, now IF I take off my old body and add the new one, do I need to also take off the skin or can I leave it on? Thanks!

    I have noticed a few of mine have as well, but I'm on the side of "that's okay" going forward. I applaud that move.

    There are literally tens of thousands of outfits available for Lara, and at the best stores several hundred. I have not met anyone who can afford every single clothing item at any major store, and I'd like to meet anyone who has bought everything for Lara 5.3 at even some of the minor retailers like Seniha, Candy Kitten, Lunar, Ricielli, erratic, Ecru, Neve, Just Because, COCO, amias, Dead Doll etc.

    My own thinking (and not everyone will agree) is that there is plenty of clothing for 5.3 to last years more in SL without exhausting your wardrobe choices.

    Plus, you might even see the 5.3 stuff becoming cheaper in stores as Lara X gain momentum, just for the long tail sales profits for the creators. And if rigging for the new X is much easier, fashion comes even faster and more petite support, both pluses.

    Sorry @Annie Nova I don't think I answered your question at the end there. How many more creators? Probably most of them, given that rigging for Lara X is easier, which saves them time, effort, and struggle, and results in more clothing easier for a better ROI on their time.

    That's fine Katherine and I do agree that there is a ton of clothes out there, I just I'm just being stubborn lol I have the new body but just have not had time to do any real looking at it and I have gotten a few clothes that are including the new body so I suppose it's a win/win. 🙂
