I'd recommend checking out Briarwood: https://www.briarwoodestates.online/ It's primarily an equestrian community, but the town aspect has been expanding quite rapidly the past few months.

Thank you for your replies. I'm not here to debate whether Second Life is a game or not, that is matter of personal interpretation and perspective. I managed to find my way to Caledon Oxbridge Gateway, so I'll see how that goes. UPDATE: So, I followed the Caledon Oxbridge path and learnt a couple new ticks, it's better than the SL tutorial but still doesn't cover things that seem important. Something I've noticed is most, if not all, of the popular 'quality' creators have in-world stores where they sell their content, rather than through the online marketplace. From YouTube videos I've derived that meshes, textures/skins, heads, and other elements are not universally compatible. I've visited about a dozen, and they tend to be poorly set out and don't clearly explain (a) what something is and (b) compatibility with other body parts/meshes/etc. Is there a way to find this out easily? Feels like you either know or you don't, and if you don't, you're screwed.

Hello, Can anyone recommend a step-by-step tutorial for someone who has never played Second Life before on how to create an avatar from scratch (from one of the defaults) and generally explain how it all works. I'm struggling with Second Life's poor game design, and the introductory tutorial was little help. I've found the Second Life University and other SL-related channels on YouTube to be more about pushing products than actually helping (new) people. Perhaps there is a Second Life primary school for new folks like myself who need to grasp the fundamentals first, because whenever I follow along with those avatar "tutorials" (using demo content) I'm always left with more questions than I started with and an avatar that looks nothing like the one featured... and nearby people tend to be reluctant to answer questions from the newby naked or partly invisible ken doll struggling to figure out what to do. That said, one person did compliment my rib cage and lungs earlier. I play a lot of video games with character customisation, so I get the basic concepts. Maybe it's a sign that I'm getting old that Second Life isn't intuitive enough. Anyway, I can't be the first to ask this, and I did search these forums but didn't find what I was looking for. Hopefully someone can recommend something useful Cheers
