  1. It would also be helpful if some of the stores that are updating have clear labels on the items that are updated (or, a clearly-labeled sections). I was at the store last weekend of a brand that has been releasing clothes for LaraX at events, and updating a few of their older styles. I looked around for a while and couldn't figure out which styles had been updated. One of the brands you have mentioned has been putting in their notes at Facebook for the weekend sales a disclaimer that even though they may be releasing new colors for an older product, that your preferred body may not have been released when the product was created, so don't be mad that the body hasn't been included! I have no idea how difficult it is to "re-rig" a previously made mesh for LaraX, but considering that the body is fairly close to Legacy and the earlier version of Lara, it doesn't seem to me like it would take a lot of time.
  2. There are definately brands that I like (and have frequently purchased) that I have not been purchasing because their new releases at events haven't featured LaraX. @Cinnamon Mistwood - I agree with you. Not interested in the pulled up shirts or skirts that reveal the behind. I'd be spending more on clothes if some of the other brands would get on board with LaraX. I still have Legacy but I don't want to have to switch between bodies.
  3. Really getting kinda irritated at the stores that aren't updating or releasing new items for LaraX. I know some of them are dependent on third-party mesh, but otherwise there doesn't seem to be much consistency about who is choosing to release LaraX items and who is not...other than among many designers with an Asian design aesthetic, who are still designing for just Legacy and (sometimes) Ebody Reborn (at Sakura Matsuri, which just opened yesterday, I don't think there is a single item of clothing sized for LaraX).
  4. Also, delete items that are for bodies you don't have and will never own. I will never own Kupra, for example. I tend to delete the sizes for the extra bodies either right after unpacking or when filing away. The system that works best for me is to have three folders each for the current month and the previous month. One for Clothing/Accessories, one for Home Furnishings, and one for Skin/Hair/Makeup (this folder also includes things like eyes, tats, etc). Items that are unpacked after purchase are filed in the appropriate folder; the original unpacked item is put into an "unpacked" folder under Objects, and once every couple of weeks, I compress older items in that folder into an archive by putting them into the contents of a square cube and importing that back into my library, then deleting the original purchased item. At the start of each month, I file away the stuff from in the monthly folders from two months ago. My folder system for avi-related stuff is set up like this (not including the home decor organization here): Body Parts Body Heads (with sub-folers for vendor) Eyes (with sub-folders for type and a combo subfolder for eyes with multiple appliers) Skin (sub-folder for body appliers, was set up by brand but it's all Velour now so set up by body type; face skins are filed by head type, then brand) Clothing Coordinates by Brand (hose brands that do ongoing color palettes like Rowne, ISON, etc.) Costumes (subfolders by type: fantasy, scary, cyber/sci-fi, etc.) Coats/Jackets (subfolders by type) Dresses/Jumpsuits (subfolders by length; subfolders in lengths by type) Formal Lingerie (subfolders by type) Pants (subfolders by type) Sets (subfolders by type - skirt sets, pants sets, etc.) Skirts (subfolders by length) Tops (subfolders by type - blouses, sweaters, t-shirts, etc.) Swimsuits Accessories (subfolders by type: necklaces, handbags, stockings, etc.) Hair (subfolders by length plus updo, pony/pig tail, braids, hairbases; subfolders under that by brand) Makeup (includes tats and body shine; subfolders by type) Shoes (subfolders by type; subfolders under that by color plus a multi-color/multi-texture subfolder) For cleanup I do the following: Search for items for body types that I don't own (mentioned above) Search for unnecessary notecards that use certain key words - social, thank, note, etc. Review items over three years old; many can be deleted. Similar to the method I use to compress purchased items after unpacking, I compress items for holidays, which can be uncompressed next year as needed.
  5. Wow, I hope they will announce new home styles for "regular" Premium users. It's been so long since we've had a new home style, that I'm getting bored with what's available. I know, first world problems.
  6. Herbert Thepervert...I love it. But I'm just thinking about how many times I've landed in a new home and there's been Herbert next door, but there's also been nearby Vert, and Gert, and Cert, and LiliBert and and so on. Like the whole extended family moved in and took over the neighborhood with their Thepervert activities. This is where Firestorm's Derender and Blacklist comes in handy, since a lot of their belongings are also heavily scripted. And if you were in the position of being ousted from a parcel that your home position was previously set to...couldn't you log out (or force quit) and then log in elsewhere? I think you can get your correct home parcel information from logging onto the SL website and looking in your user dashboard.
  7. I meant Apple documentation. But you explained your reason, and it wasn't what I thought it might be. It's a system that's deliberately not been updated, not one that just hasn't been updated.
  8. Gavin, is there a reason why you have remained on MacOS 10? Mac OS is now up to 14.1.x. Even if you have an Intel Mac the documentation says that if it's from 2017 or later, it can run Somona (Mac OS 13).
  9. Add to brands updating garments with LaraX for weekend sales: Baiastice, Valentina E, and Thalia Hackworth.
  10. Brands have been employing different tactics as far as the LaraX process. Most popular brands are including it moving forward on new releases. Brands that depend on third-party mesh are lagging behind due to limited availability. A few brands, like Versois et Mailloux, are making a big push to adapt previous releases (in fact, their weekend sale items for the last month have mostly included LaraX). Last weekend, Fashionably Dead had on sale some previously released items that had been updated to LaraX We're to the point now that most releases at top-tier events (Uber, C88, Access, Anthem, Famished, etc.) are including LaraX. Most, but not all.
  11. Sorry for the silence on my part since the first of the year. My own freebie hunting has been curtailed since there's not a lot in the pipeline for LaraX yet. But I did want to bring up the Snowbound Hunt (see gallery here and teleport to the event here). Put on by the same people that do Spookzilla, so items are not free but very low $L - typically like $L5 - $L25, I think. The event is all in one place, so if you use firestorm and do area search, then look at the 1 LI items that are not owned by the region/event manager, you can usually track down a lot of the items. I typically make a list of the brands/items I want to locate.
  12. Good question, @Istelathis! I notice that some games are particular drains on my iPad (I don't play much on my iPhone). For example, the Don't Starve series. I would be interested to know if the SL Mobile viewer is also a big drain.
  13. So we don't rehash everything again, how about reading the thread? If you just want to see the most recent news, start a couple of pages back on page 8.
  14. I can't speak for everyone, but IMO those of us who don't yet have access still want to know about people's experiences, as long as it doesn't violate an NDA or something similar.
  15. Thanks, I'll play around with different skins from those brands. You're right about the wrinkles...with a younger, smoother skin you can't really get it above 40yo just by using the wrinkles, face shape, hair/bases etc. I think your first one looks a bit older, and with more prominent wrinkles and a more dull/grey hair shade, I think could push to 50's.. Add an older hair style/base perhaps with some balding, and you can get it even older. Of course, not every guy has got the hair loss. My dad had good hair density till his death in his 90's and his hair was dark till his early 80's. I'm having a challenge finding the right hair base. I got one yesterday from Volkstone what was very short shaved, that's not so bad but I'm continuing not look.
