I like the LaraX. I had put away the 5.3 a couple of years ago when I bought the Legacy body. Even more than the shoulders with the original Lara, I could NOT get past the cankles. The ankle and ankle-to-foot area just annoyed me with the original Lara. That and if I took any photo without sleeves, I had to edit the armpit area because it was cut so unnaturally high. Despite the dramatic negativity from one or two posters, this body is a vast improvement, in my opinion let me add, over the old Lara. I wish I would have snapped some photos. I was able to put together a couple of outfits with a combination of old Maitreya and some Legacy fits. The legs and ankles area are shaped much better on LaraX in addition to the shoulder and armpit area being more natural.

If you're using 'wear' for the 2nd item, whether it's the eyes or the head, you should switch to 'add'. If you choose 'wear' for everything, it replaces any other item on that same attachment point. If you use 'add', it does just that. Adds that item to whatever else you have on.

I just picked up one of the "reptilian" skins in a shade to match a Pumec skin I got from the weekend sales. It comes as a plain skin, and the Reptilian details are an add-on. I had the same misgivings, but was happy to see that I could wear the skin without the details, since the shade I wanted wasn't part of the other Picasso Halloween shades.

Does the store have a Discord channel? If so, you could post there, I believe. Not positive as I'm not a big user of Discord.

Body packs vs single colors: Which do you prefer?
Shiloh Lyric replied to Arwyn Quandry's topic in Your Avatar
Pixicat is an odd one. Sometimes my favorite textures are available in single color purchases and sometimes they're only available in the fatpack. I prefer the black glitter and the red velvet textures for her items, overall, and they're often in fatpacks, only, but are sometimes offered as single options. I'm sure there's a method to the madness, but I don't see it. I prefer single color purchases, but do buy some of the "fatpacks" for a single body, since I mainly wear Legacy. But only if I really feel I'll use more than 2 or 3 colors/textures in the pack. -
I use attached lights for photos sometimes, and have forgotten about them afterwards. 🫢I often keep local lights turned off in Firestorm, which I use regularly, but have them on in Black Dragon, which I use for photos. Luckily, my partner usually warns me when I'm a beacon and don't realize it. I have made it a habit to always check those after I take a photo to make sure everything is detached.

Women's expectations: Unrealistic
Shiloh Lyric replied to Paul Hexem's topic in General Discussion Forum
What "stats that show that in other forms of online social interactions"? Also, how are you defining "unrealistic"? As far as looks? As far as economic status? As far as attire? As far as the way the woman expects to be treated? It's such a broad open-ended question you're asking that it's difficult to answer. I'm hoping you can be more specific or share the "stats". -
Wings and Tram also have "windblown" hair. Doux has a couple, but one was a gacha, and I think the others are ponytails.
-
I would check Rosary for a dress or top with a similar style, Deep Static or Bondi for the glasses and Wasabi for the hair. But mostly what Ayashe said.

You may have tried this, but did you move the eyes up using the Lelutka HUD? I find that the eyes usually need to set pretty high for most appliers made for Lelutka.

You're not wearing two shapes. You're wearing a skin and a shape. An avatar is required to have 4 components, which you can't remove but only replace. A shape (the square with the head and shoulders in it), a skin (the human shape outline), eyes (obvious) and a hair/eyebrow base (the little wig looking thing). If you want to edit your shape, you need to right click on yourself, then appearance, edit shape...from there you can use sliders to change the shape of different body parts, and your over-all height, etc. I don't think you can get tiny animal size without deformers, but you can make yourself pretty short.

Clicking "wear items" on a giant folder...
Shiloh Lyric replied to duLuna Bosatsu's topic in General Discussion Forum
I have done this so many times, it's actual habit now for my partner and I to lock every single home we rez and live in. And we're kind of house hoarders. We have many and change often. Even my platform for photos is always locked. I deleted THAT several times first, though. 🤠-
I can't see the pic too well on the computer I'm on at work, but maybe check Stealthic. It looks similar to one of their newer hairs...released within the last few months, I think. I'm not sure of the name.

If the photo was taken with Black Dragon, it's also possible there was some adjusting of the facial expression with the built in poser, including eye corners (maybe? Can't remember if that's one of the options in the poser and I'm not inworld at the moment to check).
-
I had that issue, too, so purchased this and it seems to work very well with BOM skins. I'm assuming you're using it with Advanced Lighting turned on. You won't see it otherwise. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Sensations-Body-Shine-Materials-Appliers/20680036

When you are ripped off by a creator
Shiloh Lyric replied to SophieWillows's topic in General Discussion Forum
I suspect that 'help' isn't what they actually wanted. I believe they wanted a creator to be arrested for theft, or have LL intercede on their behalf as being the 'victim' of 'theft'. Something like that. They seem more upset about what they perceive as a lack of accountability than giving anyone the benefit of the doubt or just taking the "L" and moving on with a lesson learned. -
When you are ripped off by a creator
Shiloh Lyric replied to SophieWillows's topic in General Discussion Forum
If the items were at an event, or recently at an event and only just added to the store, I've found Redelivery Terminals may not be updated right away. Also, give Creators time to respond. Many have RL jobs and commitments, just like the rest of us. Or there may be a big time zone difference. Their profile should have some information on the best way to contact them or any CSR they might employ in SL. -
They look like Ikon eyes to me. Maybe Babylon...but not positive on that. I'm not 100%, but almost positive it's a hazel in one of his eye styles.

Recent come back and need some help!
Shiloh Lyric replied to Sarabella Paulino's topic in Your Avatar
It's a good idea to check Seraphim for the weekend sales galleries. There's always a LOT of skins for cheap, and almost all of them are for EvoX. That's the main head line that skin makers are creating for at the moment. The weekend sales are a good way to be introduced to what's out there without breaking the bank, IMO. -
second life photography discussion
Shiloh Lyric replied to xXSuicidalIdolXx Candycane's topic in General Discussion Forum
If you're talking about Flickr, it seems to be mostly a popularity game. I've been posting photos for years, and while they're not the greatest, they're better than some...again, I've been doing it for years. I have some photos which have broken 100 faves, out of the thousands of "followers" I have and "follow" back, but most average around 60 faves. Other people have hundreds. But, honestly, I don't "play the game" very well. If you comment and fave others a lot, you tend to get reciprocicity and more comments and faves back. I just like taking photos since it's my main SL creative outlet, and looking at the pretty photos from others. However, I'm never going to be "popular" on Flickr, so I tell myself that the faves I do get are from people who actually like my "work". -
RIP Ivy Deschanel from Sn@tch
Shiloh Lyric replied to Lysistrata Szapira's topic in General Discussion Forum
So sad. I used to visit her store weekly and bought a ton from her. I loved her style and creativity. I'm sure she's very missed by many. My condolences to them and may she Rest In Peace. -
I second Nylon Outfitters. Also, Doux has a couple. Unfortunately I'm not inworld to check the names. Wings has several which are vintage. Another place to check would be Exile. Truth might also have some, but they would be a bit older, I think.

Would you ask for a refund?
Shiloh Lyric replied to Marianne Little's topic in General Discussion Forum
I would just suck it up, honestly. Especially since it's a weekend sale item. I've actually learned to do an inventory search for weekend sales, for just this reason, since many vendors sell a previous weekend sale item. I love the automatic refund vendors, too! That has saved me lindens more than a few times. 🤠Of course, I only have myself to blame. My inventory is a cluttered mess at the moment.- 32 replies

I think I was wrong, anyway. I was thinking of another store, too.
