RL kept me away for some years. Before that SL just got complicated with relationships.
I finally came back using an alt i had made, and since then SL has been fine. The transition was hard because so much had changed, but I dealt with it.
As far as reasons to convince you to come back? You're expecting too much from us, because in reality it's all up to you make that decision, not us to convince you.
I did not ask you to convince me to come back, I did that last week, thankyouverymuch.

Lockdowns.
Well we never had those in here in Florida, but it's a very good reason.

A real answer would be that I still love love love exploring SL and making "virtual spaces". aka decorating. It prevents me from spending on stuff for my real place! And it was great to have SL (and Sansar) for that during our long lockdown period, which also included an 8PM curfew.
But the pose balls... now those are special.
Oh okay Ingrid, I get that. The poseballs not so much, never use them, but the decorating I totally get. I'm doing my new Victorian in Belliseria and having a great time doing it.

Wanted to ask others about it and see if they have the same reasons I did. The main one for me was that RL drove me to it. I used to read the news sites when I got up in the morning, but we all know what they have become, and it's not pleasant at all. After what we have all been through in the last 18 months or so SL is quite a welcome escape. I'm sick to death of politics and anything that even hints of it anymore, and you can't escape it anywhere online but in SL that I've seen. YouTube buries me in it when I log on there. Even in SL some will go there, and I just block them for it. That's the main thing for me, but then I also wanted to see SL on my new 70 inch monitor. It rocks.

Add me in world if you would like to make friends. Have a nice day
For my part I cannot imagine why I would want to do that.

hi everyone
while i am friendly to people in this game -
I've made lots of acquaintances but I find it difficult to make any friends, with whom I'd love to throw a party sometime
I'm pretty shy though
any tips?
Ah yes, the friends thing. I think all of us are shy to some extent, and reluctant to just IM someone else out of the blue, which is why so many just sit around in the sims interacting with no one, hoping someone will IM them. Sometimes everyone in the sim is doing this, happens a lot at Fogbound. Sometimes you just have to screw up your nerve and get proactive about it, say hi to someone who looks interesting to you and not worry about the response. What's the worst they can say? Recently at Calas I just sat down next to a nice looking guy where he didn't expect me, and we had a great talk. Another time I just walked right up to a guy and said "hi dude, how's it going?" Okay, it's a little bold for some, but you get the point.
Another idea that worked for me was really quite passive, and counterintuitive. No one was IMing me, so I put in my profile "I am a very boring person and you really shouldn't bother with me." Boom! People started IMing me all the time, wanting to talk about it and offer support. So it's a social engineering trick, but it worked
On the whole meeting people and making friends in SL is a lot like RL, just with a few added twists and cautions thrown in. Just be creative and proactive.

The US Air Force and US government is coming clean and fully admitting that there are flying objects in the sky with technology that is advanced by thousands of years. These aren’t uncommon encounters. They are very very common every single day type of encounters.
Aliens are real. What do you feel about this? Are some of us aliens right now? *looks at Gopi* 👽
Well for the sake of accuracy they did not acknowledge aliens, nor did they disallow them. It was pretty much a report saying "Hey everyone there are these weird things flying around in our skies and we have no idea what they are, we now return you to your regularly scheduled program." So a nothingburger. If aliens rent the condo next to me I'll give it some attention, until then I'm not concerned.

I wouldn't delete your clothes.. Just your folders with the links to your clothes in the folders under the main directory, Outfits.
Yes, that's what I meant, just delete all the outfits in inventory.

For almost all of my characters, I do not. I do give out my real life picture on one character but I do not communicate anything about my "First Life" in the text box....just some extended lore about the character.
Well part of the reason I stayed away from SL the last two years was people aggressively trying to pry into my RL, even going so far as to use alts to get information out of me. There could have been no good reason for their prying, and I file that under stalking. I don't use my real name on the internet, nor would I put my RL in my profile, for very good reasons.

Relogging usually makes.copy items reappear in your inventory
Well not in this case. I've relogged several times now, and it's not in Lost and Found, so I guess it's just gone.

Glad the rest of the decorating is going well for you!
In regards to the Zooby german shepherd, have you tried contacting a CSR at Zooby? I've never had a Zooby, so don't know what is possbile, but perhaps they can track it or restore it or something...
Well I got that dog in Marketplace years ago, and not it's not there anymore. There's a pit bull being called Zooby, but I'm pretty sure it's not the same seller, and my original dog has been discontinued. There is a dog retrieval tool to get your dog back that registers it with the name you gave it, and that never works anymore, you just get "default dog" which doesn't work. There was also a sim where you could buy dogs and supplies, and that seems to be gone as well. Bummer in the summer...

Blame those that will create brand new alts to grief and harass sims and individuals at those sims. Sadly, it's a case of a few rotten apples spoiling things for many others for no reason other than they feel entitled to making others miserable or prevent them from enjoying otherwise great content.
The sad reality of life, unfortunately.
Yes! ^This! People like that are why I stayed away from SL for the last two years!

It is better to click on "Appearance" instead of "worn" from the inventory. We can see that there are many things that's hidden behind folders here. If you click on you and select Appearance, or on the T-shirt icon on the bottom list, you get up what you are wearing in a complete list, not hiding behind folders. You can see that I have on so much that I must scroll down if I will see it all.
This is not me per current date, I used an image I already had saved before. But how it works to show what you are wearing, is the same.
Ah! Thank you very much for those points of wisdom in SL! I've been away for too long and have forgotten a lot. It's going to take me some time to catch up. I have to say I'm disappointed to find out that my outfits include body parts instead of just the clothes I'm wearing, and now to upgrade to v 5.3 I have to delete all my outfits and start over from scratch. That's not a well thought out feature of SL.

GREAT idea. Get rid of those old outfits. They are messing you up.
I know Rolig, my plan is just to delete them all from inventory, along with everything 4.1, take off my whole body and reinstall the new one again

Please show everything worn again.
Too late for that Rowan, I gave up and put on an outfit with the old parts in it. I have next week off and I'll try to figure this out then. Thank you everyone for your patient help with this most vexing episode.

And adjust your hover height again. You are standing with your feet in the floor
No I'm not, already tried that. I had no feet in that shot, and no hands. I've just gone ahead and put on one of my old outfits to get my hands and feet back. I think we have all had enough of this for one day. I'm just going to put on a formal and go to Frank's for dancing.

Doing all of this remotely and with time lag is frustrating for everyone. I really suggest that it's time for you to just start playing. You are wearing the Maitreya body and the HUD. Take a few deep breaths and try slowly clicking HUD buttons to see what they do. By the way, take that Maitreya Body Alpha layer off too. You shouldn't need it.
THAT's a great idea. Get rid of as many unnecessary distractions as possible and just play.
Well what I meant is to relog without any outfits on that had old 4.1 parts in them.

Are you wearing the HUD from the NEW folder. Lara 5.3?
Yes.

I'm going to relog nude and see if that does anything.

They are already attached. It comes as one piece now. Use the Lara 5.3 HUD. Alpha section and show hands.
The alpha section will not let me do anything at all. The buttons do not work, I can't mask or reveal anything.

They are not separate items in 5.3. They are built into the basic body. If yours are invisible, it's because you have turned them off in the ALPHA tab in the Maitreya HUD.
I just looked and they are not off in the alpha layer. but wait, I can't do anything with the alpha layer in the HUD...
-
Okay, I can't get my hands and feet back for version 5.3.

Is there another jazz club as good as Frank's?

Don't get me wrong, I really like Frank's, but sometimes it's a bit flat there. I've looked at the other places I have LM's for, and there's never anyone there. I really enjoy putting on a formal and going dancing with nice men, but can there really be only one place in SL to do that? Seems like it. I've been away for a couple years and I'm hoping something else as good has opened up in that time. Formal dress code preferred.
