    Cinnamon&Chai Body

    in Your Avatar

    Posted · Edited by PixelBerry

    I can't deny and say that I'm curious about this body, however with all these new bodies coming around lately I don't know whenever this is going to gain any popularity. The feet are really neat tho, but I also want to see how it responds to sliders and if it's flexible when it comes to body types.

    And uhmn the new body uv, I don't know what I feel about that, one thing is to get a new face uv with the lelutka head but another with a body, all the tattoo layers and other things I've collected over the years can't be used. And I think it also lowers the chances of getting support, as all skin creators will have to make specific appliers and work with a completly new uv for this body if they will even bother.

    Do I HAVE to transition to BOM?

    please explain why it is better, because in my opinion it's only better because it lowers complexity, in ány other meaning it's not better át áll ..only a different way to wear bodytextures..
    The only way to see high def. details is when you'r sniffing somebodies face from close, is thát really "way better" ?... it's mainly hype and oh new.. i must have it.

    You can use BOM for your body and still all Catwa appliers, you also can buy the hdpro heads from Catwa, those dó use BOM, don't picture it like it's only applier for them, they'r around since 2020.

    You seem to have already formed an opinion on bom, so I'm not going to try and change that, I have no interest in shoving bom down someone's throat.

    Bom in my opinion is better because just like you said, that way we don't need onion layers, lowering complexity. But with bom you can also layer a ton of tattoos, skin details, blushes, makeup and what not, merging it into one, like you couldn't and can't with appliers. Which means a lot for people who love to customize their avatar's fully, no more tattoos glitching with your stockings for example, or being limited to one tattoo or some other kind of applier.

    I never said that bom is higher quality texture size wise, it is the same size as applier textures. Only with lelutka evolution x can it appear slightly more high quality looking because they changed up the uv, giving the face a bigger space on the uv, but it is still the same texture size as a regular linden lab uv.

    And yeah you can still wear a bom body skin and wear a catwa face applier for example, but at that point it's just easier to wear full on bom if possible. You can also buy a catwa hdpro if you want to or a genus head, but it is pretty obvious that they don't get as much support as lelutka does, which is why I'm not going to suggest it to most.

    What you and other do, is not up to me and I couldn't care less what people do with their own avatar, just have fun and do whatever you like.

    • Bom does not replace mesh clothes, bom stockings, pantyhose and underwear is optional.
    • Bom is not lower quality than applier skins, it's the same quality, however bom is more superior as you can layer a lot of makeup, skin details and tattoos without any alpha glitches.
    • Bom has taken over applier skins, so you will most likely not find any new applier skins, especially for catwa or genus, Lelutka evolution x has taken pretty much over it all.
    • HQ lipsticks and eyeshadows are still appliers.
    • Lelutka evolution x heads have a different and a better uv than other heads, and that is why that has taken over the market.
    • You can still use applier tattoos with bom skins as long as your body still got an onion layer to use for appliers.

    Bom is way better and superior to appliers, catwa doesn't get support, well at least not much anymore, so it's better in the long run to get a lelutka x head.

    But you absolutely do not have to do any of this, you will just have to expect that there will be no new applier skins, or much skins really for the catwa heads.

    Marketplace reviews and comments are now anonymous. Thoughts?

    Eh I think this change got both good and bad things about it, there are people who leave reviews just to be a D*** towards the creator, being anonymous that way kind of sucks for the creator.

    But also in that way I will be more likely to leave reviews, honest reviews. I often do not because I'm afraid of hurting anyone's feelings if I got something "negative" to say, aka constructive criticism, some creators if not most can't even handle that.

    Don't expect everyone to be interested in using it. I may like it and so are you but many others will simply find it silly or boring or whatever. In a similar way we don't like every game that exists or every car or food or whatever. It is normal for many people to see it and say "wtf is this,  uninstall this sh...t". It's just software.

    Yeah that's true, not everyone will be interested in a virtual world, let alone an old one. Reason I joined was because my mom knew that I liked virtual worlds like Imvu so she found Second life and made me an account, but obviously someone who may not have any interests in a virtual world or something similar, will most likely not care about SL.

    Does that even happen anymore? I don't remember the last time I saw any griefers or people being inappropriate somewhere that they should not. I kinda miss those days. 

    Some weeks ago at either the Level or Equal10 event I saw this Japanese mistress dragging  5-6 chained female slaves, all of them being fully geared up with gags, Chasity belts, latex suits etc, one of them had literal rubber boots on her hands, soon after a tiny micro man appeared in front of them, I think it will be a while till I see something as weird like that again. 👽

    Oh and just now I saw a guy dripping white sticky stuff at a store having a weekend sale.

    And yesterday, a guy with his hotdog out at a clothing store. 😅

    I've said it before and I will say it again, I think most people have no issue in the sexual content that Second life has, I at least don't and love the freedom to decide what I want to do or not whenever it being sexual or not. However if I were them from the start I would find a way to separate the nsfw stuff from regular places, so it would be streaming friendly and not so "Second life is only filled with sex freaks" not my words but that is kind of what I expect most outsiders to think at this point.

    I wrote an flawed idea about it in another post, but just like how we got copy , modify and transfer tags they should of added general, mature, and adult tags for objects, that way only adult objects can be worn in adult sims etc.

    It would be too late to implement such a thing now for the most part, and people could just tag objects as something else if it was mod, but it would of lowered the chances of seeing a master dragging 5 slaves in the middle of a shopping general or mature event and other situations.

    Besides that things change over time, Second life wasn't a big lewd place at the start but slowly became more sexual oriented because of it's users. But I also think that might also calm it self down, depending on what most users use Second life for.

    I don't know why Second life got such a bad reputation for apparently only being a sexual oriented virtual world which is false, it is more than that, but for some reason outsiders don't see it or doesn't give it a chance to check what Second life is actually about, it is literally what you want it to be, this reporter saying it looks like "roblox" is because that is what he wants to see, just a "roblox" looking ass old virtual world, because he doesn't understand it and haven't given it enough time, to experience it, Rome wasn't build in one day.

    Honestly I rather want a talented resident of Second life to make a journalist type of youtube video interviewing different kinds of players, new and old, from different communities. As well as exploring popular and non popular places, perhaps more of our photogenic places to show what Second life can be when people put a lot of love for what they like to do.

    It is important to ask what Second life is for everyone, what Second life has done or helped for you, what Second life has learned you, what you do on here, what you can do on here, what the possibilities is when everyone can work together, Second life is far from limited on what it can do if different talented people work together, scriptors, animators, meshers, it's endless.

    Hair! What a bear it can be to get it positioned just right. It must be really interesting to be in your first account again, look through the inventory and snapshots, and thanks for sharing pictures here. I think you always look great. As for fashion sense, we'll always be laughing at ourselves five years later - the trick is, I guess, to get stuck in a time warp like I have done (in real life too! - stretch jeans rule even though I am now in my late-50s). 

    I just can't stress enough to everyone who is contributing to this thread though how much seeing everyone's old photos means to me. We all lived through these special eras in Second Life, flexi prims, shoes flying off during teleportation and hair up our bottoms on reaching our destinations, hideous foot crushers, and bling, oh how I loved the bling. 

    I'm glad! I had been trying to access my first account now and then for years since I had lost my password and the email was long gone, but my last try succeeded. So I'm very happy for it, nostalgia means a whole lot for me as well as you might have forgotten who you used to be, and being able to see how you did things and how you wrote things before gives me a lot of joy. :D

    Your ticket may have been closed accidentally or because of a Linden having an off day, but never think you're being a bother, unless you've opened six tickets about the same issue. And certainly if your answer can't be solved here by one of us mere mortal residents, then the Linden gods should be able to help. Is there not an option at the bottom of the closed support ticket for you to re-open it? There used to be from what I can remember.

    It is unusual for tickets to be closed without some sort of comment.  Is it possible that you got an email about it that ended up in your Spam folder?

    Nvm, for some reason when I checked my ticket it didn't show any response from them, but I checked my email and I have gotten one after all, thank you xD

    On Marketplace how do I share my Wishlist  with others who may want to choose from a list to buy me something as a gift?

    Scroll down to the bottom of your Wishlist page then click the view and share Wishlist text on the bottom, and then copy the link of the page, then you can give that link to someone or copy paste it into your inworld Second life profile somewhere.

    Is SL too hard for newbies?

    Are mesh bodies really the thing giving newcomers the hardest time? My impression from several of these types of threads is that most newcomers want to actually go somewhere, meet some people, do something (even if it's try to kill them with an AK-47). I mean, if the default female Daisy Dukes look was good enough for Lavender Storydel, i's good enough for most people who just want to go out and bug hell out of interact with the Slitizenry.

    ( Quite seriously, if that female look hadn't been quite acceptable, half of Lavender's troling research could have been snuffed out in fifteen seconds by giving her the typical look-it's-a-noob response. But they didn't, she got hours and hours of interaction.

    Looks are not the major problem newcomers have to cope with.

    Of course it isn't the most important thing and the only major problem, but it can be confusing for those who are trying to change out their standard avatar, which wasn't a problem back in the day because that is how everyone looked like.

    But finding someone to talk to is also a issue for newcomers because there are those places that kicks out avatars that aren't 30 days old or older ( because most likely they want to avoid trolls and people harassing them ), and people are spread out these days, hiding in their homes, as well as Second life is a huge place with lots of different types of sims.

    But there are also newcomers who expect  people to fall on their laps as well without taking any effort into looking for people, or communicating with people, because this is the internet. 

    But yes I also understand it's not easy to find somewhere to go or someone to talk to.

    It's like the real world, it's not easy to talk to strangers from both ends, well depending on where you are from of course.
