Thank you both so much for replying! Drake1, thank you! I think I will be going with the maitreya mesh body in that case as it seems the most supported for clothing options. + I'lI definitely make sure to demo Moirakathleen, thank you so much for your advice and I'm going to check that thread out now!

Ooo me too! I'm ALSO transitioning from IMVU. Now, I've literally only been on SL for two days but I'm really loving it here. I still have to develop my avatar so I apologize for not looking too grand atm but I am in the process of fixing that. You sound wonderful and if you can be patient with my noobness, I'm a very friendly fun loving person and I'd love for us to be friends and maybe do the sister thing as well!

Hello! As the title says, I'm transitioning from IMVU here to SL. So far, (two days in lol) I'm really enjoying the freedom of SL but I'm having a somewhat difficult time recreating my imvu avatar. I love the way she looks and if I can, I'd like my SL avatar to look similar! I've noticed SL does almost nothing in terms of getting you started towards individualizing your avatar... IMVU gives you a thousand or two "credits" free to go ahead and buy a cute outfit, hairstyle and/or even new skintone without leaving you looking like a noob. I've not had much luck with freebies here, most of them look atrocious in my opinion. Now that's okay, I'm fine with spending money on my avatar, but I'm not 100% sure of where I should start. Shopping on IMVU feels a lot more streamlined than here on SL. I've tried searching on the marketplace and in SL using keywords but I seem to get really outdated/ low quality results when I do that? D: Anyway I'm wondering if anyone here would be able to help me.. What I'd like to know : We have mesh heads on IMVU (I'm using one in the photos) but we don't have mesh bodies. Do you think mesh heads and/or bodies are something I should invest in to achieve my goal? If yes, should I focus first on the body/head; the "base" of the avatar, or should I go for the clothing first? Does it not matter? Honestly, any suggestions on hair creators that have nice curly hair would be amazing!! I'm having a really hard time finding them. Bonus points if you could point me in the direction of clothing creators you think might suit my style. For the record I've looked up several videos of how to apply items and clothing on SL and I think I have a pretty good understanding of that. Also price isn't really a factor so feel free to suggest anything! This is what my IMVU avatar looks like: Style 1 2 3 Body type hair goals Face details Gosh, I feel like I'm asking a lot guys sorry! Any advice you can offer would be very much appreciated!
