I'm not sure what I did different, I was chatting with my sister as I was trying to put the head on and I'm pretty sure I had used the same skin that I normally use. I really shouldn't try to put a new head on when I've had a few cocktails and am in heavy chat mode. I just remember the shock of seeing it when I was waiting for something to load. I retreated and stripped down to system avie and made sure I put things on in the correct order. I don't think I have too many of the Velour skins, I've picked up the freebies when the LeLutka 12 days of Christmas drops, but I've never actually been in the store and actually looked. I should do that since everyone seems to talk about them so much.

Wow. 29? I start to panic after two. But, in my defense, I was sporting a LAQ head at the time and I went from no line to a really obvious line. (I honestly don't remember what I was trying to put on.) Now, I can't even remember how to make the LAQ heads work so they're languishing in my Inventory and pouting because the never see daylight. Well, SL daylight. And even as recent as the new Billie head I ended up taking the tattoo layers off. Not only did I have a very obvious neck line but there was a line on my head that looked like she was wearing a mask, it went around the entire front of her face from forehead to chin and cheek to cheek (HA! I love that song). I think I read that you have to be careful with the older makeup with the new heads because they might not be compatible. Or my cold is making me hallucinate things.

You guys are so brilliant! I can't thank you enough for all of this info. I honestly thought that if it said "skin" it was total body. I have quite a few in my inventory that I haven't played with because of the tattoo thing. I honestly can't stand them, but now that I understand better how they work I might give them a try. I'm just glad that almost all of them were freebies and group gifts so I didn't drop the cash for something I'm not going to use. (I do that with furniture and shoes) My sister doesn't really spend a lot of time inworld because she's working full time so she asks me and and I can usually help her. I can't stress enough how often I told her that the Forums are your friends. Especially if you Google the question first. If Google can't take her to the answer she has me ask all of you. I think it's because I brag about you so often that she figures it's easier for me to ask. Thank you again!!!! You guys have me out bunches. I'm sending you air hugs!!! (And you're so right Anna Nova, I'm really thankful we don't have to deal with this stuff in RL either)

LOLOLOL...I'm her YouTube video. And she's in the Lara 5.3 and a LeLutka Sewa, Siri, (it starts with an "s"). When she's wearing just her WoW skin the line isn't really there. I mean, if you're looking close you can see it. But she decided she wanted to play with tattoo layers and since she was getting pretty good with the makeup ones she bit the bullet and bought this one from the Skinnery. And when it didn't seem to work she turned to me and I haven't really messed with tattoo layers except the occasional lipstick. Is it possible it's only a head skin? I mean, do they do that?

OMG! You guys are so nice. My sister was being super polite and told me it isn't the Wren's Nest that was giving her issues it was the Skinnery, DUH. I told her she can start asking her own questions next time. Anyway. She wears a total body skin from WoW normally, but she fell in love with this one from the Skinnery. And if I understand you all correctly, it doesn't really matter what skin she wears, but she should put it on first, then the tattoo skin and then any makeup? When she showed me it looked like only her face changed but not the rest of the body with it, and it is a whole body skin. (At least she said it is, maybe she's wrong and it's only for her head and that's why it isn't working? Is there a way you can tell if it's total body or just head?) She started from scratch by going back to the system avie and putting the layers on new. And she didn't have any makeup layers on because I made sure she had cleared them as soon as she put on the head. She ended up throwing a tantrum and swearing off tattoo layers, which is gonna suck for her since half of her makeup is tattoo.

So. My sister asked me how she's supposed to layer if the skin she wants to wear is a tattoo layer and not a skin layer. She found a shape that she love, love, loved but when she adds the tattoo skin, she has a really noticeable neck line. It's supposed to be compatible with the LeLutka head she has and she's using a Maitreya body. I had thought that you add the body, you add the head, you add the skin and then you can put on the tattoo layers. Is it different if it's skin and not makeup? She normally uses WoW skins and the one she fell in love with is (I think) Wren's Nest. Am I wrong in the layering order or is there actually another step when wearing a tattoo skin.

Cool! Thank you! I didn't realize it was so easy.

So. A quick question for you guys in regards to combining AO's. Is it possible to take some walk animations out of one Vista AO and put them into a different Vista AO? My sister just bought a dance AO from Vista and isn't sure how to add it to her current AO. And she is very fond of the walks in one AO and the standing animations in another. Is she stuck or can she combine the bits and bobs.

It's why I gave up mine. Set between a lake and a hill, waterfall and a water rez zone right next to it. I had it fixed two times within a month. My sister was right across the lake from me and she had the direct view of the waterfall from her back yard. She ended up having to give up her house for the same reason. I miss that house but it was just too frustrating to have it break whenever I felt like redecorating, which is usually about once a month unless I have an idea for a different house style half way through the decorating progress.

I'll let her know. Thank you so much!

Oh my gosh. Ayashe, Rowan thank you so much! That was exactly what she was looking for. You guys are awesome!!!! Thank you!!!

Hi guys! So. My sister has decided she HAS to have a nose ring that attaches to an earring. She bought a hair that had the look in the pic and she fell in love. But trying to find one is proving to be a bit more difficult. She gets either the nose ring or the earring from the search engine. Do any of you have any idea where she could find something like it? She's currently wearing a LeLutka head. Thank you in advance!

In regards to the "Mediterranea", maybe who ever picked the name is a Duran Duran fan? It's one of their best songs on their "All You Need Is Now" album. I used the name on an ocean side Traditional once.

You get a reminder to give up your home from Wendi. I know this because I was putting in a ticket for my sister and didn't realize that I hadn't logged out of my account. I waited and waited and couldn't understand why she wasn't getting her Fantasy parcel. I checked my e-mail later that day and found a note from Wendi stating she'd love to give me the parcel as soon as I gave up the one I had. That's when I realized my mistake. I apologized and resent the ticket under the correct name. Soooo...yeah. You can actually hang on to your current home and send a ticket for the new one. But I really wouldn't make a habit out of it. I'd hate to make Wendi mad.

Wow! That is a fantastic location. Congratulations.

Very true. But since I have no "grass" on my plot the cactus don't look that bad. I am literally surrounded by the sand/seashell floor. My sister said that it reminded her of Zorro, so I went in that direction. Unfortunately I didn't come with Antonio Banderas. Dang it.

Thank you so much! I'm off to buy some (more) trees! Happy Holiday's!

PrudenceAnton, which trees did you use? That's the issue I'm having with my landscaping. I'm leaning towards cactus and Joshua trees but I really would like a tree or two. It just looks so naked and they didn't include any trees in the content pack.

I'm still hoping for the quintessential Palm Springs Mid Century Modern. All palm trees and cacti. And every house comes with a pool. Oh, and the colour scheme would be easy since most of the MCM out there is white with bright day glo doors. That's my dream anyway.

I think they look divine no matter what thread I've seen them in. Post as many as you want for those of us who don't post any.

I can do that. I was also told to get a neck applier that was supposed to "fix" the issue and all it did was give me a discolored lump where the neckline was. LOL...so I guess it did it's job by making the neckline go away. I never knew to look for gloss settings or anything else. Honestly I've only ever just hit 'add' on the body and head and 'wear' for the skin. I only open the HUD if I need to switch the makeup (since I wasn't using tattoo makeup out of fear) or to fix the feet for shoes.

Awesome! TBH I stopped wearing tattoo layers because I would get a very obvious neck line as soon as I started to apply them. I actually gave up my LAQ heads because of the neck line issue because I could never make those go away even though I wore the skin that went with the head. Now I'm LeLutka/Belleza with a Belleza skin and the neck line is not an issue. Now I can redo the order of things and wear some of the makeup I've spent too much money on. You guys are amazing. Thank you! (Has anyone else had an issue with the LAQ? I'm only ever told to wear the skin that goes with the head and to fix the neck width. Which I did and it did nothing. Oh, and "you can always wear a choker".)

Not to sound like a dork, but, there's an order to apply the layers in? I just put stuff on as they appear in my inventory. It's not always a pretty picture and I guess I know why. (And my sisters avie is often worse with how she applies the layers.) Would you mind letting me know what the order is please?

No. Unfortunately you have to give up one to get another.
