I was out driving on mainland last night, did a whole continent. I could barely accelerate beyond first gear, because of loading time. I ran into ONE other car during the whole trip, so not too many accidents on the roads. The only problems I had was accidentally stepping on yellow lines during sim crossing.
So if you want to improve road safety, go lobby against yellow lines.

Motor bearings? SSD!
Up next: failure to park your hard-drive head will crash it!OMG! I remember parking, I was a kid and my parents had a ton of superstitions regarding what was safe for that generic XT 8080. Best gaming computer, you could turn off Turbo and play the games in slow motion, very useful to get that record time in prince of persia.

Oddly, what jumped at me when I saw the different serches shown in this thread, was how the less diverse results show mostly pictures produced on photoshoots or movie stills, while the more diverse search results show a lot of amateur/personal pictures.
The fact that media has a racist bias is and has always been true, but I think that if you filter out "artificial"* pictures, the result is more diverse in general.
* artificial as in, it was produced for a brand or product.

So, if a place labels itself 'Sci-fi' but excludes klingons, is that also misrepresentation?
(I'm playing devil's advocate, and generally agree with the sentiment that LGBTQIA+ places shouldn't exclude people)
If I was the devil I would fire you right now.
Anyway, more to the OP´s topic, Im a straight dude, and I dont even go out much to community sims, but I have seen the LGBTQI tags in the places that I go, like scenic sims, and parks, where there are often couples dance animations and places to sit and cuddle. And all of this dances and poses are made for straight, traditional couples.
So even if no one is going to ban or eject you from the sim, I think it´s still wrong to use the tags if you dont provide any ammenities for the communities that you are adverticing for.

Working conditions at Amazon are awful, but they will be forced to improve, and not via government control, but by economic necessity.
Why is that, Lindal?
Because their turnover rate is so high and they employ so many people that pretty soon they will RUN OUT of people who are willing to work for them! (Yes, really. I read an article a few weeks ago about this, it's not just me talking off the top of my head)
No they wont, Amazon has already sent millions of other shops to the grave, and will continue to do so, at some point, in many places the only job available will be amazon adjacent, and then you can choose to piss on a bottle for less than minimum wage doing full time hours of hard warehouse work, or be homeless. The abuses of the free market will never self correct, if amazon is not forced to pay decent wages and forced to treat their workers with dignity, they.will.not.

This topic actually made me try out Kupra and I totally fell in love with it. Right out of the box its way too much but it can be adjusted just fine. I am super happy with it!
This, the body as it comes out of the box is jarring, but Ive seen some users work miracles with the kupra body, really well balanced and good looking shapes.
On the other hand, the Katena body, that´s the one I never liked. BTW are the Katena and Kupra made by the same team? Their posters and stuff look very similar, and they cater to the same audience.

The avatar in the picture is the Niramyth Aesthetic Avatar. And yes, it’s very dated. I would suggest the Legacy Athletic Body as it’s closest to what you want. Then you would have to find a head…Catwa and Lelutka both have male heads. Then a skin for the head and the body. Make sure they both match (same skin for head and body). Maybe others can suggest good skin stores for guys. I would but all that info is at home and I’m at work lol
I agree with this, Legacy Athletic body seems close to what the OP is looking for, and is not as terribly dated as the Niramyth one.
However, I have always had a problem with the neckline in the Legacy body, even with BOM, that I didnt experience while I was using Signature. (although signature doesnt have the body type the OP is looking for)

Generally you want to join all your meshes into one object but use multiple materials (in Blender) and assign them to individual polys. These become different faces in SL and each will have its own texture control. You still need to UV unwrap like others are describing.
This is usually the case, except for houses or big builds that require a physics map, since the weight will scale with size/volume. You want to keep the volume as low as possible, sometimes uploading walls individually will reduce the weight of the house considerably. (and optimizing it in other ways, like making large flat surfaces be regular prims, etc.)
Just as an anecdote, I made a house that was 350li, that would go down to 50li when shrinking it in-world.
Sorry about the off-topic tangent.

Just dont copybot stuff, or more likely, stop copybotting stuff.

I make mesh clothes on commission, it would help if you give more information, like how many pieces of clothing, what bodies specifically, how soon do you need them, etc.
I personally would charge around $L 3000 for each distinct piece of clothing, full perm, and $L 500 for each extra body that you want it rigged to, asuming I have the devkit for the body you need.
Are you going to need shoes too? is the uniform unisex, or do you need pants and skirts. Do you have any pictures of something similar to what you are looking for?

Because you are not willing to put your money -- or lose your money -- where your mouth is. You want to flog bad suggestions in the forums but ensure that they never impact you with reciprocal behaviour. Gaf-gaf.
I didnt know I had to be a member of the guild to post a comment, you should edit your OP to reflect that only verified store owners can post, using their main account.
Good luck enforcing it.

BTW, if you are a merchant, you are hiding behind a 3-month-old alt with no picture, sparse groups, and little activity to express your views.
And how does that affect my arguments, Sherlock Holmes ?

What type of Demo do you think is the best type of Demo that customers prefer ?
For my money, the best demo is the one that is not timed, and the demo sign is not blocking the view of the item. I also dont like some of the demo textures, because Id like to see what the original textures are going to look like. Just make sure the demo is no-mod.

So you rightly condemn such segregation as wrong in "A DEMOCRATIC CAPITALISM" and your purport to call me out for hypocrisy, yet you turn around and then justify such segregation for any reason or no reason in a virtual economy. It's only a useful tool to keep certain parties in power just as segregation is.
Just to summarize, individual control: good, discrimination: bad. I hope that clears up any misunderstandings.

No, I'm not "demanding" anything, dear, nor do I imagine that my view is "the only correct one" just because...I express it (there is often confusion on that point from people who imagine an expression of a dissenting view is an imposition on them -- they can't seem to find any other way to object to it).
Real life has worked fairly well for thousands of years, and markets route around tyrants and obstructions, long before some coder thought to coin the phrase about the Internet routing around. And generally open markets where goods are sold freely are successful, and things like the Soviet beriozka which only certain people can shop in, or ration cards with different rations for different levels of people -- they fail. So to the extent that the Metaverse can avoid this petty parochialism and Sovietism, all the better!
Thousands of years? Less than one hundred years ago there were segregated businesses IN A DEMOCRATIC CAPITALISM, and it gets worse the further back you look, so your "eternal free market" only has existed in your mind, and in the mind of libertarians. A shop owner in SL should definitely be able to refuse to sell to anyone, without the need to explain themselves why and as long the shop owner is not infringing in other parts of the TOS. I think people have given enough reasons of why it´s a useful tool in previous posts.

Do you have a favorite method of attaching it as well?
if the clothes are mesh, the clothes will fit anywhere, but if you add a prim box, when worn, it will show at the attachment spot.
So for example, you make a pair of mesh, rigged shorts. You add a prim box to it that reads "DEMO!" and then attach it to your head.
The shorts will fit regardless of where you attach them, but the regular prim box will is going to be placed where you attach it, you can edit it to move it where you want, it wont affect the clothing itself.
A way to check this, is going into the infra red sight, whatever its called, and looking at avatars, you will see a lot of invisible boxes attached to right hands and pelvises.

I'm not sure if anyone has even mentioned this and I know that this is an old post.
What you're asking for is a double edge sword. Yes someone can break it and yes it may not even look right. But I'm going to assume that you know what you're doing. So when others go to inspect your clothing as they also want to buy it, they'll go to the creators marketplace or inworld store to look for it. They may end up messaging said creator inquiring about the item. Once they see that the item for sale isn't the same as what they had saw on you, they can become upset and lash out at the original creator. This is apart of why some chose to make their items no mod, it's to avoid that headache.
It's a reasonable request, just one that many just chose to avoid.
The OPs complain is about a VERY narrow subset of clothes, namely: Fatpack, that uses tinted colouring instead of baked textures.
And to be honest, I would never buy something like that out of principle, because its basically ONE colour (The ambient occlusion texture), and then it takes all of 30 seconds to tint it.
And as a creator I would not sell my stuff mod, if I want the customer to tint it, I will put a hud with a colour palette, so they can play with the clothes, without risk of breaking them.

You cant just transfer weight and call it a day, you always have to tinker with the weight manually. If the mesh is original, UV is original, and the rigging is partly manual, what would the DMCA claim be ?
Also, there are a bunch of bodies you can get to start with, I think eBody you can get, Tonic costs like $L 100, the zooby body, etc. its only a couple of the big brands doing the dev-kit monitoring.

You get tossed into a pit of fire, where a guy with a pointy beard will poke you with a trident for eternity.
(there isnt much one can do as a creator, to police SL or the MP for abuses of terms in resident to resident agreements, if the offender is "big" enough, it could suffer from popularity loss, maybe. It´s a subject that could make you lose sleep at night if you let it, but you shouldnt.)
