Well then it's even worse than I thought lmao. When Legacy first came out in-world it was also 5500(a friend bought it when it was and was very angry that she'd spent so much). I will wait for it to eventually go on sale before I even bother because screw that

It's not the most expensive. Legacy is, and so far has always been. Cinnamon & Chai was pretty much dead before it even came out compared to most bodies. Belleza's biggest issue here is the price. They're essentially shooting themselves in the foot as 90% of those of us passing are because of the price. You get nothing better than most other bodies for the price. As usual for Belleza these days, they're late to the race and trying to shove a high price in to an oversaturated market when equally nice bodies recently were less. Ebody reborn is 3500L, which is less than even Kupra was when it flashed up.

The skins in the HUD look absolutely grotesque. Like someone with a skin disease or aged and marred skin. Happy Halloween, I guess?

That is a good point. I've yet to be able to get in for a demo, and as much as I love Belleza, from what i've been seeing/hearing i'll probably end up just sticking with my Reborn. Those V deformers someone mentioned do help the butt a lot.

$4400 in an oversaturated market? Ouch. They may be Belleza but even that may hurt them. Competitive prices will get you further these days, and Prima are cheaper from what I can see. We shall see, though. I know my excitement dropped like a brick lmao.

Never underestimate greed. =( Edit: Perhaps another way of doing it would be to sell the demo versions separately? Generally people are going to demo for the size/body they're after. That way customers don't get nickled and dimed, and creators still get their demographics.

Whereas it'd help with determining whats what, i'm glad they don't do this because i'd probably never buy anything again. On second thought. Do it. Definitely do it. Save me lots of money. (But in all honesty, i'd rather not buy an item twice at full price just to wear it on 2 bodies).

The shoulders depend on posture as well. You have more of a slope with a slight slouch than with a straight back. Same goes for clavicle. Mine is pretty straight(and high for that matter) with a straight back. Torso lengths are often too short on SL, but as irl those with larger breasts will often have a shorter distance from the breast to the navel thanks to gravity. Super short torsos are stupidly obvious though, but nothing takes the cake like t-rex arms or legs twice the length of your torso imo.

Edit: Nevermind. Found it.

Regalia isn't bad for what it is, but you definitely gimp yourself with how little is made for it. OP has already said they are going for a human avatar, so Regalia is best passed on.

Having demoed the Prima bodies, something about the hips bothers me.. perhaps it that you seem to need to shorten your torso for it to look good in the waist/tummy section? Curvy seems to deal better than Elite with the sliders, but I still feel like they suffer the same thing Legacy does where the leg muscles can't go very big compared to the hips. Very easy to get pony thighs with it. Overall pretty, and could be a nice "new" for Maitreya or small frame body fans. Seems like it leans better toward pear shape than hourglass. Personally I will be holding off. The market is stupidly oversaturated as is and I am not made of money to buy every body that comes along. I am waiting to see Belleza's as that is more important to me. If I have extra money later and it does well, sure, i'll get one.

Personally I think I like Ebody slightly more. Legacy still has superior hip shape for my taste(i'm not a fan of super round hips. I like a little angle), but it's slider weights lack in the legs department. You can make everything big but the legs stay just..not. Legacy's company has a foul history(they try and claim they're not the same people, but they do the exact same crap, so yeah, no). I HATE the server-sided HUD and it's too risky knowing it can go down at any time. Not to mention how often the darn thing breaks. I still like the Legacy body, but they don't have my loyalty. And they never will. I may go back to using it more again if they A. deal with the render weight issue. It hurts when a lot of them are in the room. B. Get rid of the freaking server-using HUD. It's not innovative, it doesn't make them look more fashionable, it's just annoying. C. Adjust their slider weights for the body parts to actually make sense. I've had nothing but positive experiences with Ebody So far, aside from the butt.. that takes some getting use to. It'd also be nice if they'd just fix the body instead of making us wear deformers but oh well. Overall it's pretty cute and i'd definitely recommend it miles over Legacy.

Personally find those squishy pieces a bit unnerving. Personally don't find them nice looking, but I also hold a grudge against "squishy" thanks to an issue with leg Edema irl.

I had actually brought this up to Whitney yesterday right after I got piers twice in a row(friend as well). So they should know. An explanation would be nice. Gonna be salty for a while, personally. Especially when the house I wanted to try for so badly sits empty with the owner mia. It's silly for a digital home to hurt so bad but dang.

I appreciate your optimism ❤️ I landed one on the region(still holding it) but it was the one I actually didn't really like out of the 5 lol. It's unlikely i'll stay long-term though, and will likely just cancel my sub once it comes around again. If anything in the future catches my eye i'll hop back on it, but this was kind of a blow to my interests in Linden Homes for now as it was a blunder on their end. I know a couple of other people were waiting for some of those, so I hope some of them at least got what they were after. 😃

Admiral's Landing released. However some of the OL listings were giving OP and although I had 2 people trying, both got pier and I lost my chance at my dream home to it. 💔 Not happy.

To me they look enhanced with Photoshop. Likely via Overlay layer. The skin or image quality itself is digitally messed with, so I would not be surprised.

They look kind of like {S0ng} eyes to me. They don't do demos on their eyes though, so if the eyes don't look good on your avi you're sol.

Some people on SL take some things a bit seriously, and some are probably stuck on the "furry" stigma even for animal avatars. All you can do is just leave or ignore. No-one can dictate how you choose to live on SL. Some places do have rules(albeit some bend in favoritism i've noticed), so just be mindful of where you're at and what rules may be. Just because some are ba humbug doesn't mean everyone is. The negative ones just tend to be louder and demand attention.

Just try and think of all the money you're saving lol

Kuroo has a "skinny guy" look, but as i've never actually demo'd it, I have no idea how well it's alphas would fit clothing, or which sizes for that matter. The creator rigs some things for it, but as far as mainstream bodies go, it's not really something you see out of the furry, or maybe anime community.

I will probably grab a demo on my male alt, but from a visual standpoint it looks no different than most other male bodies to me. Sometimes these threads(new body such n such, what're your thoughts?) come off suspiciously like underhanded advertisements lol. Overall though, I personally don't see myself getting another male body right now. It doesn't look bad by any means, and i'm glad it's not looking like some "fad" or muscle tumor body, but I just don't see it bringing anything new to the table atm. Heck, as it stands I won't be touching anymore female bodies for a while either. Maitreya suddenly popping up with a new one though.. that'll turn my head for sure.

"Look at how much money I have that you don't!" Flexing is really all I see out of it. I've only really seen it done to a heavy extent once, where somebody took most of the houses in one or two regions just to toss them all back the next day. I'd understand maybe if they were doing it to get a particular house by knocking out the other houses around it, but it seems a little excessive.

Saying it like that sounds embarrassingly bad. I pay $460 roughly a year for my current land rent. They better floor me if they want me spending another $200, and calling it that is not a good start(if that is the case). Though tbh doubling everything isn't exactly exciting me either.

Don't click/go to any links or log in if unsure. Your best bet may be to file a ticket or talk to support if you can(from manually going to SL's website of course).
