This is gonna be another one of my noob questions, but do omega appliers work on BOM avatars? I'm currently full BOM, but I bought some skin and face shines that also have omega appliers. Would those omega appliers work on a fully BOM avi? Is there something that I need to do to make them work, or something that I could do to make my avi be omega enabled? I want to get one of the face shines to work, but I don't know if it's even possible. Also, I have the same question for hair bases as well that have no BOM layers, but are 'omega'. Could these kinds of hair bases work on a full BOM avatar, or would I have to strictly adhere to either BOM layers, or appliers that are made specifically for my head?

So... I recently played gacha in a seller's store and didn't receive the items. I played 3 times for 3 different gachas and only got 1 item, rather than 3 items for the amount of times I played. What do I do? I don't think this is an unboxing issue, as I went to a non-laggy region to rez the boxes and copied the items to my inventory, only to notice that there's nothing in the folders except a notecard or landmark, or a script. This is my first time playing gacha, so this is a little upsetting and discouraging to say the least. I would've thought that playing gacha inside a reputable seller's store would've been the safest option. I've attached screenshots of what I was playing for and what the folders I received looked like when I unpacked.

Hi all. I’m new to SL and have periodically been trying to get the hang of things. I saw that Genus recently came back and that they have a gift head, but I’m having trouble applying it. I’m trying to use it with a BOM skin, but when I put on the head and tried to add the HUD to enable its BOM feature, the universal HUD did not appear at all. I had no other HUDs on that could be blocking it, so I’m very confused as to why this is happening. I’ve been trying to get the hang of SL for a while now and am super exhausted, and for each new thing I seem to learn and understand, something new pops up to confuse the heck out of me lol. Any help related to this issue, as well as any tips for working with BOM heads/bodies/skins in general, is greatly appreciated.

Thank you everyone for all of your advice and help! I appreciate it greatly, and it has helped me a lot so far. This is A LOT of information to take in, and I’m probably going to have to re-read this thread about 50 times before I fully process it all, but I really appreciate the amount of detail in the answering. Super helpful! ❤️

Hi. So I'm VERY new at Second Life and virtually know absolutely nothing about it or anything about what I'm doing, so please bare with me as I try to explain my issues. Since I'm a noob, I've been scoping out the freebie spots as a means to improve my avatar a bit and feeling out the game a bit before deciding if I would want to invest real money into this. I stumbled across a free head by Dream, and it's the Ciara Bento Head (https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Dream-Gift-Ciara-BENTO-Mesh-Head-BOM-stayathome/19279327), and I'd also found a new body, and it's the e-Body curvy version (https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/ABAR-eBODY-CURVY-v86-BENTO-AVATAR/13193218). The main issue I'm having is trying to figure out how to match the skin tones of the head and the body. I wanted my avatar to be of a darker complexion, but I can't make the head that I'm dealing with match the e-body. Keep in mind that I'm dealing with the free versions of these products for right now. I was able to change the skin tone of the body through playing with the HUD menu (I barely know what that is or how it works), but that is the extent of my success. The Ciara Head still does not match whatsoever. I've read things about skin and head appliers but have absolutely NO head how they work, which ones I'd have to buy for the products I've mentioned already, or if free ones compatible with the head and body I have even exist so that I could try them out. I'm also very confused about how skins work and how they tie into the complexion of the head and body. Assuming I had the right appliers for the head and body (whatever that means), if I used a skin, would it automatically work and apply to the entire avatar because I had the correct appliers? I'm also confused at the process of 'unpacking' certain items and how that works, because sometimes whenever I try to unpack things in my inventory, it doesn't work. I'm just very confused and hope I'm explaining myself somewhat decently. Please bare with me. I'm slowly trying to learn this game and how it works and am still VERY confused and overwhelmed by the interface. I tried playing this game before some years ago and ultimately gave up because I was super lost, so it'd be nice to get things right this time around. I'd really appreciate a thorough explanation about this. And please try to explain things the best way that you know how, as I am new and am not familiar with much of the terminology that is used concerning this game or the avatars. REALLY dumb it down for me... like A LOT. 😂 Thanks so much. ♥️
