    Processor    Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-9100F CPU @ 3.60GHz   3.60 GHz (has 4 cores)
    Installed RAM    32GB
    System type    64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
    GPU    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

    Hi! Wondering if anyone has recommendations for what I should update next or if I really need anything updated, second life runs pretty good but gets a bit laggy when there’s other Avis around or even just in busy events etc.  I just got my graphics card and more ram. I heard it’s good to get 1 or 2T of ssd and also a good cpu with lots of cores/ better single core performance. So yeah if anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated thanks ! 

    Your PC is pretty good modern and even a high end gaming PC with a better CPU and a better GPU like RTX 3070 - RTX4090 struggles with the problem with lag, when many ppl in a club etc. The problem is not the hardware.

    I would get a bigger SSD 1TB or 2 TB and if you want to update CPU go for previous generations like an i5, you save a lot of money and the gain unless you are a pro gamer or working with high end graphics/video in 4K or better, are limited.

    This question has probably been answered already, but this thread is now 50 pages long, so I'm not going through it all to try finding the answer:

    I know that much of my Lara Classic stuff won't work with LaraX unless I get lucky on alphas.  So.. what about the reverse:  How likely is it that I can make LaraX clothes work on Lara Classic?  

    Some rigged will fit remarkable well, for example Vision's Mell set, but you will get weird fits, gap around the breast.

    Else biggest problem is pelvis sticking out and typical parts of hips and shoulders, upper arms.

    Pants, underwear will have a gap behind and in front disappear into lower pelvis.

    It normally would make no sense to dress previous Lara with LaraX rigged clothing.

    Is it just me, who finds ugly sweaters got less ugly with the years? Don't get me wrong, many are fun and rigging etc perfect, but the ugliness not like real ugly as before.

    Folder named "2023 Christmas Shop & Hop" with sub folders "Home", "Clothing" etc and under clothing sub folders for my mesh bodies "Lara",  "LaraX", "Reborn".

    And I only walk through max 2-3 regions per day. On home return I take a look and decide what to keep.

    Learned to be picky with they years, else one easy drown in things, where some maybe are only used once.

    Okay, not awesome resolution here, but it gets the point across.

    TL:DR (or didn't watch) -- it's the haze density setting.  Moving the haze density slider to zero results in the mostly black hair thingie.  If anyone with actual technical expertise wants to explain why this is a thing, that's awesome; if I don't know why the haze impacts it like this, it could circle around to bite me again in some way.  But I have a practical solution for now, at least.

    Cannot give the definitive answer, maybe one with knowledge of computational EEP algorithms can answer better.

    In SL it uses as default the blue density default RGB(0,0,128), but color can be custom to any color, like black in your EEP. So a Haze Density of 0.0 will be reflected with the color used in for example your hair. Default would be a bluish reflection. One could argue the default minimum value should be 0.01.

    Haze is a term that is widely used in image processing to refer to natural and from human activity aerosols. It causes light scattering and absorption, where it is this causing the "strange" colorization, when value set to 0.0.

    Quite complex formulas behind the calculations, think of light sources like the sun, maybe even a passing car with headlights on, reflections from glass in one scene, you get the complexity behind.

    Don't forget the free group gift from Onyx LeShelle; Maitreya *Gigi Bodycon Dress* VIP Group Gift - depending on you body, breast size use of alpha required.

    Over shoulders UNA Serena Jacket Camel. Until we get updates for LaraX from our favorite creators, we have to be a little creative like over shoulders and clever use of BOM alpha.

    Environment settings for Australia

    I have an Australian sim and would like to set the day/night to Australian times. Anyone know what the setting would be? Im not bright enough to work it out lol

    Have you taken a look at About Land->Environment, the default time offset from UTC (aka Greenwich Mean Time) is -8 hours, hence SLT = Pacific time west coast USA.

    UTC offset for Australian Eastern Daylight Time (New South Wales (except Broken Hill), Victoria, Tasmania, Australian Capital Territory) is eleven hours. That is UTC+11:00.

    I have a very good video card. just looking for suggestions on good settings. I do not use fog or shadow, I even do not use the trees that are generated in-game ie non-mesh or Sculpted, I use Firestorm, Is there a suggestion also to find a viewer where we can take awesome photos, I do not feel that the filters on Firestorm are awesome enough. Any suggestion is welcomed!

    Crank everything up to max quality girl, you really need particles and shadows for stunning photos. Use "Shared Environment" in most sims, adjust gamma if to dark, only minor adjust needed or select one of the beautiful environments available.

    Use Phototools in FS to adjust minor details like depth of field.

    Your RTX 3070 can handle it without problems, only exceptions would be busy clubs and the blame there is not the GPU.

    How Does Your SL Look Today?

    Dear Mr. Linden,

    The inspection by The Association of Bad Nannies of The House of The Children, Millbank, Bellisseria raises a lot of concern for the well being of the children in it – not to mention the children below it and within the walls.

    First of all, we find the placement of the shotgun out of reach by children aged 0-6 unacceptable. We expect this to be brought in order ASAP. We also recommend boxes of cartridges to be scattered all around the floor.

    Second, the carpet with the corpse constitutes a security risk for a nanny as toddlers can hide below it. We do not like toddlers with an axe in hand to surprise us.

    Third, the bed in the nursing room lacks room for more monsters beneath. We do though appreciate the ghost on the wall, which scares the living daylight out of the little rats.

    Last but not least may we point out that the enchanted armchair on the second floor does not allow a nanny to come asleep through her shift. An old rheumatic, demented nanny needs her R.I.P.

    On these minor notes we look forward to future good cooperation and will do our best to keep the little scum in check.
