Demo is your friend. If a store does not have demos - you risk the clothes do not fit and you have wasted your money. If the demo won't fit or is missing the correct alpha, the full priced product will not be better. Since you are a guy who prefer suits, it is more easy for you to fit in clothes. It does not matter how many alpha layers you wear - use "Add" and add one after another. You may have to be creative. Often, I find that a "triangle" just over the suit tie is transparent because the alpha layer is cut too high. If you use a v-neck tee alpha and an open jacket alpha together, that solves it. For a suit, you need a perfect fit two places: Around your wrists and around your neck. You can actually demo clothes for mesh bodies as well. As long as the neck and wrists fit, no problem to cover all below and between. It does not matter if the suit is made for classic avatars, Slink Physique or another mesh body. I know you can buy clothes, but Kauna has had all their male clothes out for free in a mega pack. Last landmark I had for Kauna: https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Time Portal/246/130/1930 They are not made for meshbodies and has three sizes, small, medium and large. And comes with all the alphas you need. The pack has a lot of clothes for the "professional, business" type and also some for leisure, like a jeans and boots combo all guys should have. Edit: it is some mesh body sizes too, in addition to the classic ones. Some for Slink and TMP. Edit 2: The Kauna clothes can be worn with other meshbodies too. I include a link to a blogpost, because the box of clothes is huge. Really huge. And you can unpack "for ever". So it can be nice to know what to look for. I had totally forgot the shawl cardigan. https://billybeaverhausen.com/2018/07/28/kauna-is-giving-it-all-away/ Disclaimer. I picked up Kauna last summer (2020), but I don't know if it's available now.

I think you get help in the builder's part of the forum. You can request this thread moved. https://community.secondlife.com/forums/forum/303-mesh/ In this part, we just discuss, show off and use content already created. You should get help pretty quick - that part of the forum is quite active. It depends if somebody from Europe is there now, or else it is the ones from US, then you have to wait until they get up.

Yay for Irina! But I like my head so much, I will probably not change. Fabulous new male head, too...

I hate math, so after reading this... 🤯. Me pick colors? Lol, it is no one left. Banana was challenging enough. But when I see the colors on black background here, I get a better idea what "Banana" is, how it should look like, and that I was way off in both attempts. 😏 But hey, it's all for fun, so I don't sulk (much).

Nice job! So many colors look very similar. And this is after you took off some colors that were close?

When I win the lottery, I want a whole region just for my different houses. I don't have enough Li to have more than one up at a time. And I like so many. Now I dream about an underwater build... but I am not tired of the house I have on land. Oh, to have so many Li to spend that I don't have to think about land impact... Some homes:

Same here, now I spend my money on hair and clothes instead of having alts hold homes all over Bellisseria. I downgraded the last alt on Friday. One pier home, enough for now.

2 hour drive from where I live. Every year since 1854 this event has happened in late February - until 2021, when it's cancelled.

Unedited, uncropped.

Lorna Dunes was one of the regions I kept watching. But then I noticed, almost all houses on the edge of the void was turned with the large decks away. I had only 2 houses there that I was interested in. The same for Memison. I let my alt go back to basic on Friday, and is out of GoH. PS: I know the void can be filled with houses or boats... but that can be "soon" and I have moved on to new styles before it happens!

It's a blogger that's using more muscular bodies. They may be more to your taste. He is not using Actanon at all. You can take a look, and see if you like this style. I think he sell shapes too. In his blog you may also find full frontal nudity, leather, latex and reviews of different male ***** brands. You should know in case you are offended of it. Here, in this post, he keeps his shorts on 😉. https://billybeaverhausen.com/2020/11/13/lelutka-heads-2-5/ But you can see how muscular he got Legacy muscular meshbody. This version of the Legacy has more defined abs, but creators has not made much for it. You can wear most Legacy clothes with it, that is a big plus. But tight, small underwear will not fit. I think part of why you like Actanon, is that you are impressed by the pictures on Marketplace. The picture also shows another head you have to buy from another store, to get the same look. You can turn on shine on other bodies, to get that oiled look, if that's what you like. Have you even tried the Actanon body on and seen how it looks on your screen?

😁

Now I want them!

Sorry for the ugly writing. It's hard to write with only a mouse. What others have said, nothing outside the border posts. The public land is open for all that will travel around. Even if you only let phantom objects spill over the border, it can be seen as "claiming" the public space. They are connected to your land, visually seen as a part of your place, and others will not go there. Under "World" you can look under "Show more" and "Parcel boundaries". Check that, and you will see them as red lines in the sand.

It should be a "safety" setting somewhere, restricting to "Owner", "Group" or "Everyone". Try to read the notecard you got with the vehicle. Not all vehicles has this feature, it depends if the scripter put it in. If the scripts are modify, maybe this function can be added. Try to ask in the creator forums, in the "Scripts" part. I have found them to be very helpful.

She has to know, she will not tell you. Or she has used an real life image and photoshopped them on. I think the fuzzy part looks like it is cut out.

It is not the body... the clothes creator make the clothes like that. With this shape. You alpha out the body, so no matter how much muscle you have in the shape, they are hidden under the clothes. The solution: Demo before you buy. If you aren't happy with the demo, the full priced product isn't better.

I was writing a bit about the Lelutka head in another thread: My reply start here, I tried to write down just what I was wearing, using a starter avatar at first. I am using an off the shelf laptop there, with an integrated graphic card. It should represent an average user. I have not edited the images - unless resizing and putting them together, of course.

I suspect the Actanon has been relisted to get rid of negative reviews. I am sure I have seen more one star reviews than there is now. Actanon is only for those who will be naked 99% of the time, or use only the included clothing. A shame really, since it looks good. I agree that Signature is better. You find clothes for it everywhere. I would not recommend Belleza Jake, since the creator can't be bothered to update to a new neck. You will have a line between the body and the head you buy. Look for very muscular skins. They have muscles dawn on and makes you look more muscular.

So you remember what you buy, unpack and sort it? And actually use it? What a novel idea for me. I should try it sometimes. 😂

It must be some continent whose prime time is between Europeans go to bed and Americans wake up. Or is it the "other side" of the US that LL cater to now? Isn't it 4 hours or more between East coast and West coast, I am too lazy to look it up. It would be best, if they had more than one time for releases per 24 hour, and alternated between them.

And so, the weekend sales begin... I have bought way too much in the weekends. And will still buy more! 😇

And gone.

Are we back to the old game: "Look for a Linden or Mole"? I saw one avatar in Float Alone, all the time I was inworld. About 4-5 hours. Did not move, did not teleport out and return. It was still there when I went to bed. Clearly that was one of the regions people wanted, with view over open water. (Yes, I know it can be built something there... "SOON", means it can be a year.) I wonder why LL release so many border regions, and not saving some. We are back to the time when Hammond Park, Permaglow and the other attractive regions was released, with an avatar parked to wait.

I have not counted, but I would say less than 50% is released. Speaking about Stilts only, not the new boat regions by the side of them. I have clicked on regions - on houses - and it looks like it is more regions with houses "Protected land", than regions with individual names. I am sure it is more than half left. Maybe 60 - 70% left.
