Legacy Athletic or Classic, you can't go wrong. Pair with a Lelutka head. I have found way more skin/shape options for this combo than any other. Clothing can be tricky but most designers of male clothing have come round to Legacy. So, if a guy asks me, this where I steer them. I have never liked Gianni or Jake (even updated). This is just my personal preference as far as guys' body types go. I tend to like in SL what I like in RL.

I posted pictures of both earlier, plus there are some on little islands of around 4-5 houses sharing a common sandy area.

I've seen two so far and got neither one.

Someone offline asked for pics, I am just flying around taking a few.

I think this is a good idea. It seems new accounts seem to have a better grasp on mesh bodies and BOM. I see some 10+ year old accounts that could use some advice. In a world where you can be anything you want and dress however you want, it baffles me why some choose to look so dated. I am not suggesting a ton of lindens need to be spent either. Genus is giving away their Strong head for free right now, that's a 5000L head, for free. I see some female avatars I can only assume are men (and yes, I have met quite a few who ARE men). I would say 2000-5000 based on the level and complexity of the makeover they are wanting. I would ask for a budget of what they want to spend on bodies, heads, skins, clothes, etc. and then make my fee based on that. A few tweaks here and there, a new skin, makeup, etc. probably would not charge more than 1000-2000. Best of luck to you!

Have you tried The Skinnery? They have skins with freckles but I don't know about moles. Or maybe try BOM? With BOM you could buy a freckles/mole layer to go on your skin. Removing a demo skin, you need to reapply whatever skin you were wearing before you tried on the demo. I struggled with that too for a bit.

Genus Classic, no shape, no mod, just as is.

Thank you. I note that it never says voice verified as what, lol.

I see a lot of profiles with "voice verified" listed. Does Linden Labs do voice verification?

Thank you for the tip on the deformer, I tried that it works perfectly!

I decided to buy the body. I am loving it so far, even though there are a few hiccups. I have not been able to get the shoe deformer to work properly so that is a wash. Also, does anyone else notice she seems to have a bit of hammertoe/bunions, lol. I was pleasantly surprised to find I had a lot more clothes in my closet that are made for TMP Legacy than I thought. Some just say Legacy so I was confused, thinking they meant the SL bodies. I also found a couple of my fav designers have recently been making clothes for TMP Legacy. The body is amazing, really it is. One of the best things is that you can get physics for the butt. I am still experimenting with different shapes and skins but overall, I am glad I bit the bullet and bought it. I feel like at this point anyway, I look unique. I did wince at paying 5000L for a body but, I have several heads at that price so not really much of a difference. My avatar is my hobby since I don't do much else in SL.

I am really on the fence about purchasing this body. I tried the demo and I think it's such a beautiful body. I wear Maitreya now and also have Slink Physique. TMP Legacy is by far the most beautiful mesh body I have seen. I did try Belleza but found it to be kind of, how should I say this, clunky looking. The deformer now comes with the demo but I was unsuccessful at getting it to work. Sighs. I would definitely purchase this body if only I could be sure clothes would fit properly and/or if designers started making tons of clothes for it. I remember when I first switched to mesh and how frustrated and upset I would get at getting clothes to fit or tweaking the body, not eager to go through all that again, lol.

They do look a little mad, lol. IF you can get the animations to work properly and pick the right expressions, that kinda softens them up a bit.

I have worn Catwa, Lelutka, Genus and recently Akeruka. Catwa - Never liked my Catwa heads that much and they are also so common, everyone has one. Genus Classic and Baby Face - I like the Baby Face the best, to me these are very expressive heads and while the HUD seem complicated at first, I quickly got used to it. Lelutka - The first mesh head I feel in love with and the one I wear the most. Akeruka - Most recently bought a couple Akeruka heads and I love how unique they are. The animations are not the best but I have learned to live with it. I chose each one of these heads for different reasons. I change my look often and have many different styles ranging from bbg to elegant to goth queen. I wear Maitreya and Slink Physique bodies and have not had many issues with fitting any of these heads. I always get a shape/skin combo to eliminate the dreaded neck line.

I ran into an issue getting a home. I already own a 512 parcel and when I FINALLY had a chance at one of the new linden homes, I got an error message telling me my tier fee needed to be updated. Went and did that in a separate screen and poof, linden home was gone. I have given up because I do not want to update and pay a higher tier fee on the off chance that I might get one.

The logo in the upper left corner is Genus. Maybe they are eyes that are either available for or come with the Genus head?

Thanks for the information. I did read the description and found it confusing. I didn't know warning others to read a description carefully would be a cause for flagging and removing a review. It did indeed state it was a skybox and then later that only the landscape was included. Which led me to believe various items such as trees and rocks were not included. Never did it state the product was a platform. Perhaps I am wrong and a landscape is indeed a platform. I just wondered if a seller doesn't like a review if they can remove and relist an item to negate the review.

I have a different question on this topic. Is it permissible to delete an item with a so-so review and relist it? I recently left a review for a product I bought and in looking through the merchants other items, I ran across the one I purchased and my review was gone. I double checked my account to make sure it was the same item I purchased and lo and behold, the link did not work anymore but yet it was still listed by the seller. The "leave a review" is not available to me as it says I have to purchase the item first. But I did purchase the item. This leaves me to believe it was deleted and re-listed to remove my review (the only one). It was not a bad review, just that I thought the name of the product was misleading and to make sure you read the description carefully to understand what you are getting. Yes, I did demo the product (a landscape, which turned out just to be a sky platform) and it was difficult to tell just exactly what the designer had added separately to make it more appealing.
