Shiloh Lyric

I wish we could adjust finger length without having to make the entire hand larger or smaller. The fingers are just abnormally long, to my eye, on some mesh bodies, especially in relation to the palm. Some people DO have short fingers. *sighs and looks down at her hands* However, I would be eternally grateful JUST for body scale!

I've tried several, but I'm still stuck on Avalon as my favorite, although I like Billie on my alt. It's the only one which allowed me to go from Lelutka Simone to Genus Strong to, now, Avalon and feel like my 'look' didn't change too drastically across those 3 main heads I used. I feel like it's getting older now, and I keep trying newer ones, but just can't shape any, quite yet, so I feel like "me".

Oh, definitely. I do like the way Reborn shapes, and can live with the bum. I just do a lot of photos with props and holdables, and find Legacy better for those. (Maybe someone will bring out a 'morph' body like Genus has done with their head. Interchangeable parts which all work together...if someone wants long delicate fingers, they're available. If someone prefers small stubby fingers, there's an option. Someone wants really muscular calves, but not a muscular upper body? You can have that! I can dream, anyway. 😊) I do love seeing all of the great looks everyone puts together with different bodies/heads/skins. So many interesting, gorgeous and unique looks, so I definitely agree. 😁

I ended up purchasing the Legacy Pinup/Bombshell body, even though I have Reborn and the Waifu's. The reason? I take a lot of photos...it's my only real creative outlet in SL since I don't make anything. And, no matter how hard I try, I can't past the Reborn hands and fingers. Who in the world has fingers that long and that completely straight with no shape to them? I have yet to see a body with great fingers/hands (mainly because we can't adjust finger 'bones' in the shape editor, but just hands overall), but Reborn's just look downright weird to me. I wear it sometimes, but now that Legacy has the big boobs, it's worth it...to me and in my opinion...to spend my lindens on it, especially at half-price. I'll get my money's worth in photos, already took one I was thrilled with and looking forward to many more. But that's just me.

Do you mean because more people seem to prefer the thicc shape? I'm just wondering what you mean by this.

Welcome to SL!

Your HUD should look like this. And you should have 5 feet options. You wear the feet in the Legacy folder and use the HUD to change the heights. All Legacy shoes will fit one of these 5 heights. If one of these 'feet heights' don't work with the shoes, then the shoes aren't for Legacy: It would be these feet in your Legacy Perky body folder:

Well, there you go. You talked me into it!

I'm so tempted by Billie. But I splurged on the Genus morph head and I'm highly considering the Snow Rabbit head. It's hard. I should really only buy 1 of the 2 (either Billie or SR) due to budget, but I really like both of them. SR is very young looking, but would work well for photos where I want that look. Billie has so many cool extras, and I love how she shapes. This is difficult. 🤔

I believe it was the Skin Addiction group, or something similarly named. Most of the designers would upload demos to the group so you could try them before you go. I'm not home to log in at the moment to see if that group still exists. It did last year, I do know that.

If you have Simone, I would try the Lelutka Avalon, first. When I switched from Simone, that was the one I found I could shape to be most similar to my previous looks. Even looks with my former Genus Strong head. Use the shape included in the folder and try going from there. It won't work to use your current shape, but it might if you use the shape Lelutka includes and then tweak from there. At least, that's what worked for me.

It sounds like this could be related to the eyebrow/hairbase you're wearing. If you go into edit appearance and go to the tab for body parts, you'll want the icon that looks like a little wig. Click on the wrench looking think next to that and then ignore any of the tabs for hair. You just need the tab for eyebrow. Play with those sliders, especially eyebrow size, arch and point, and see if that makes a difference. Without a screenshot of what you're seeing, that's my best guess.

If it's under your ear, it wouldn't have anything to do with the Maitreya body. It would be related to whatever head you're using. Check the HUD for whatever head you have on. You may applied an ear tattoo or some other type of tattoo either via that HUD or some other applier HUD. Either way, you should have an option to clear tattoo layers somewhere on your head HUD.

Mesh and BOM are 2 different things. Mesh isn't worn as an applier. BOM is a texture that's baked directly onto the avatar skin. Appliers bake a texture onto a layer of a mesh body or head. Mesh is a separate attachment.

Unfortunately, it looks like you're wearing 2 different mesh clothing items which don't go together. Usually, it's very difficult to layer mesh clothing items unless they're specifically created to go together by the creator. Sometime you can layer certain tops under some jackets even if they're different creators, but even that is hit or miss. If you want to wear something net under that specific dress, you might want to search for a BOM net shirt which would fit under pretty much anything.

I feel your pain. I tried to tell myself not to do it. You see how that ended up. 😊

I think Equal has some nice ones. Also, check Yasum. Thought I saw some there last week.

I picked up the head, even though I had vowed no more Genus heads. Obviously, my 'vows' to myself mean nothing. I got the Pumec skin, too. Not switching to this head fulltime, and still playing with the shape, especially around the jawline and chin area, but overall, I was pretty happy with it. It really is gorgeous. This is an 'artier' photo for Flickr, but other than the B&W filter, I didn't edit anything.

I've seen several LaraX items in the Saturday Sale gallery this morning. Asteroid Box, Blackstone, Buxom, FashionablyDead, Insanya, KC Couture, Klubb, L&BSwear, Lithium, Pink Cream Pie, Psycho Barbie, Rosary, Thalia Heckroth, Yami Yurei...and I'm sure more, but my eyes aren't good enough to see those on the Vendor pics without checking in person. That's an increase, right there, over last week, which was more than the week before. I don't use LaraX on Shiloh at this time, she still wears Legacy, but I use it on my other account, and I'm acquiring a pretty decent wardrobe...a little more each week...just through the Weekend Sales so far.

I had thought about seeing if they could restore any of the inventory. But, quite honestly, it would have only been for nostalgia purposes. That account was created in 2007 and then deleted in later 2008. So any inventory was pretty ancient.

I was recently able to recover my original avatar account from 2007, but my inventory was all gone. Of course, that was probably different in that it was a deleted account, not just inactive. I'm assuming the OP's account was not deleted. However, there was nothing, and I mean nothing, in my inventory at all when I was able to log into that account. The profile was intact, though. Even still partnered to my RL ex-husband's also-deleted account...which I promptly rectified after taking some profile screenshots for posterity's sake.

Focus Poses has a cute backdrop for New Year's Eve at Cosmopolitan and a couple of multi-person poses, along with single and couple poses.

Focus Poses and Amitie, I think, both have multi-person poses. Especially Focus. I've used them for 3 person poses before. They also sell nice backdrops. Those are 2 of my favorites. Also, Pixit, FoxCity and Secret Poses.

My personal preference is anything for a Demos is fine, except when it's JUST a box and not in a folder at all. Too often, when I'm sorting demos into the correct 'event' folder, so I know where I got it if I want to go back and buy it, I miss an item/demo which went right into my objects folder. I'm trying to make it a habit to always check that and unpack any demo which is an 'object' before I sort it.

There's actually quite a bit going on here. You're wearing 2 sets of teeth, but not the actual head. A good place to check for a head right now is Lelutka. Just put that into search for groups. Join the group, check the notices. They're giving away a free bento head until 12/21 to group members. Group is free to join. There are also 70some other stores participating and giving away skins, makeup, hair, face details, etc, to go with the heads. Lelutka EvoX heads are the most popular, so probably the best type to have at the moment. Also, you're wearing a Maitreya Lara body, but you're wearing version 5.3. That's been updated to LaraX, which you should have also received if you just bought the body. It looks like your jeans are for LaraX so may not properly fit the 5.3 version of the body. The skin you're wearing is for Kupra, which is a different body brand, so the skin details may not match well on the Maitreya body. Things like knee, ankle, toe, breast and hip shading may appear "off" if you're wearing a skin for a different body name. Try checking Skinnery again, where your body skin came from, and see if they have one for Maitreya or even Legacy might work with the LaraX body.
