  1. I have the textures on my main, but that is because I have alts that send the textures to me. But for items like flowers, I have to log on the alt who have a Victorian. Or a lamp, the alt who had a Camper. I am paying for all the premium avatars, so I wish it was a feature where I could get all the premium home packs. The road is often between the mailbox and the water. The backside is facing another house, a hill or similar.This is the exact placement as in the preview region. Water, the road follow the water, backyard facing away from water. It is pretty to look at if you walk the road. But less useful if I should live there. One of my friends pointed out that the backyards had no pretty view, when we visited the preview region, and I said that LL would surely not design log land like that. But they did, for a lot of the landscape. I have abandoned houses because of that. I am not sure if they thought about that when they decided the landscaping. I think this is special for the log land, that the roads follow the lake and river edges so much. And when I got the desirable road - mailbox - water placement with the back facing the water, I was lucky because I prefer Overlook. So yes, I would have the option to turn the large windows in other houses toward the water and let visitors walk around the house instead. The house is for my use, not for one on the road to admire. Especially when it is beautiful water on the other side.
  2. It is so many people asking for help with shapes, so why not? It is up to the seller to price it, and people can buy... or not.
  3. Yes, and I think a lot of people have them turned off. Unnecessary images and text to load. And besides... many people type that way and don't joke.
  4. You have a problem there. Because the chin is very defined in the Dream head. I would call it a chiseled jawline. That is more difficult than making the eye opening bigger or the lips thinner. The settings for jowls could help, and also make the head forehead heavy. This could reduce the chin. I don't think you can get rid of that strong chin totally. But it is a freebie, so you can try to make it work as a head to learn on, and see if you will like it after tweaking. Or you can go and demo more heads, and buy one. The tip about <UTILIZATOR> "Normie" head that you got over here, is one of the cheapest heads you get. It was a great free head a short time ago, but the store is closed due to a dispute. We can hope it will be solved so the store can open again. If you are low on money, you can use the Dream head until you find something you like better. This video show the Genus head that is not available now. You can see how it looks and hope it will return. But the video also has a lot of other freebies that you can get now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaAKjx0DkYg
  5. A very good suggestion. And since I already talked up Pink Fuel, she sells her system skins very cheap. I notice that the head says "BoM support". One of my alts is using a different BoM head with a Pink Fuel skin. The fatpack cost only 150 L. It is well worth picking up this freebie and go looking for demo skins. And the Stay at Home club has some free skins too. Especially the BoM skin from WoW look cute to me. https://www.thestayathomeclubsl.com/appearance
  6. I was replying to HydrangeaRose. She said she had a problem with a specific head. You say you have many mesh heads, but this brand is made to be used with mesh eyes. The mesh head she talked about looks like this without mesh eyes: So I told her what I do with the same head. Using the included rigged eyes is painless. It is click and wear eyes + click and add alpha. Not harder that system eyes. And the included eyes comes with several different options. If that is not enough, appliers can be cheap or free too. I think she did not wear the eyes and alpha layer, as I wrote with the first image. That image show the included mesh eyes. My eyes in the second image is pre-mesh head eyes I wanted to keep, so I edited them in place, to show that as an alternative.
  7. You got no reply for this? The Marketplace has a redeliver option now, if you buy no transfer items. https://lindenlab.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/31000153189-how-do-i-redeliver-a-marketplace-purchase- If you bought it from a store inworld, it is often small, free-standing units with information boards. See if one of them say "Redelivery". Or it can be posters hanging on the wall. If you are lucky and you find this, click on it and it takes you to a page where you can request to redeliver your purchase. It was a huge internet outage some days ago. Cut fiber? People could not log in, and many of those who were logged in, had problems. It can simply be technical issues caused by this outage, or the Coronavirus strain the internet because so many work from home. And it is also many who has only internet as entertainment, because it is closed bars, gyms, cinemas, sports events and concerts in large parts of the world.
  8. I believe he thought a body included the head. In anatomy, the head is a part of the body. https://www.englishclub.com/english-for-work/medical-body.htm This is why demos are so important. When you unpack and wear a demo, you see what you get, and if it is not what you thought, read the description from the seller again. Contact the seller and ask, if it is still unclear. It is easy for us who are used to the Second Life mesh bodyparts, we know that in Second Life it is common to sell headless bodies, only a few exceptions includes the head. I think Bear Priestman did not sound like he was "shaming" someone, but that he was honestly confused and needed help.
  9. The skin is very important. I suggest you pick up skin demos to try with the head demos you got, and as Skell said, use the starter shape. My default head look deformed under my mesh head. It is because I exaggerated the sliders to get the look I wanted. Animations that LeLutka has is the most natural, I think. But I am biased since I favor LeLutka. I think the face expressions also gives the head a softer look. When that is said, Catwa is a good head too. But please, do not demo only Catya because "all" have it. It is so many other Catwa heads and you can make yourself look not just cute, but a bit different since the majority buys Catya. A head like Steffi is not so common. https://www.flickr.com/photos/53013200@N04/40069114560/in/dateposted/ For every head, the default shape is the start, then use the shape sliders to open the eyes, make them wider and larger. The eyebrow shape is often set low, or the brows are drawn low on the skin itself. Pick the shortest eyelashes for the most natural look, not the ones who curl up and out like the longest false lashes. Large lips are often easy to make smaller and thinner. Work with the sliders in small steps. Lips without dark colors and hard lines makes the lips look natural. Even as totally new to editing, the eye size and opening, and the lip fullness are easy to work with. And many skin sellers include the shape and the eyebrow shape with the skin, so you have a place to start. Try Pink Fuel for the most cute, youthful look. She has appliers for the most heads. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mochimilena/36775196914/in/dateposted/
  10. And what edits would that be? I have not edited my posts. if you imply that Bellisseria Citizens was mentioned before your post, you should prove it.
  11. Actually, I had no idea, Gingr Ghoststar were just a name. I wanted to be sure if she posted for the homeowners' association group before I jumped to the wrong conclusion. She said nothing about what group she posted for. Just "we" and "our group". I found the wording in the post odd. If GG was posting for the HOA low-key griefer group, I would post exactly what I meant about that and its members. But I waited, to let her reply first. I was in the Bellisseria Citizens group but had group chat muted almost all the time, I did not pay attention to names. I do not read profiles to find out more about the poster. I let the post speak for itself. The last post on the page 1 was the first time Bellisseria Citizens was mentioned in this thread.
  12. I suggest that you read it again. No one mention Bellisseria Citizens group. No one has said that the ones who roleplayed they were from a homeowners' association had anything to do with your group. There has been people roleplaying police that pretend to have some power to dictate others. These HOA pretenders are just a new version of that. I will not have some strangers come to my house, my parcel and roleplay something that gives them entertainment. I am not going with that. Now I understand why you said "we" and "our group". You thought it was about Bellisseria Citizens, so you did not have to type the name. And that everyone else understood it was about Bellisseria Citizens, but it was not. I, for one, had not thought about that group at all before you posted the first time. I can see the difference between griefers groups and people who have groups that does not bother people.
  13. So true. And DEMO is the most important, because a body is not just a body and a head is not just a head. It is different brands. And avatar apparel designers and skin/makeup designers etc. create for some brands of heads and bodies, but maybe not for the brand you bought. It is also very complicated to customize, but Bakes on Mesh makes it easier because we can skip the applier stuff and what layers to turn on and off. Especially for oldies like me who remember how it was to wear skins and add layers. It is natural to go back to it.
  14. Here are me, set up with Bakes on Mesh on body and head. You can see how many tattoo layers I have. And also the tattoo on underwear layers. Most of this is from before mesh, so I can use a lot of my old stuff. We can use 62 layers with Bakes on Mesh (BoM), that is for clothes and tattoo layers together. While a mesh body and head that uses appliers, are locked to the 3 onion layers + the head layers. The one that I use have 4 makeup + 1 hairbase slots. I am over that, and nowhere near 62 layers, so I can add chest hair if I want too (lol) and scars and more tattoos and more makeup...
  15. Hi! Since you already bought a body and a body applier, it is too late to talk about setting up another body. If I were you, look up ReishiProphet. He is the owner of Nivaro, where you bought the body applier. See how he will be contacted and explain to him that you bought the body applier, but you need the rest of the parts. Ask for a stylecard and what head applier the model is using. I am sure it is a Nivaro skin too. Now you can put together the rest. Mesh bodies and heads are more complicated than the avatars you are used to. As you discovered, they sell appliers for bodies and heads separate, that is why your face looks different. A mesh body has 3 onion layers over each other, called tattoo, underwear and clothes. Your body hair goes on one of those. A HUD should attach to your screen, not your avatar. Try to click "Add". Do not change default attach. But, the body onion layers need to be turned on in the Belleza Jake Body HUD. You also select the layer you have bodyhairs on and tint them in the Belleza Jake Body HUD. And here is a instructions video, they wear Belleza Jake and start putting it on by 15:57. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7xBJzBWElE Since you have attached 2 bodies, that is why they flicker and vibrates. They are overlaying and clashing. When you start on a mesh head, you are in for an even harder learning process. The video over comes to that too. The mesh head used in the ad is probably Catwa Daniel. It will set you back 5010 L 😲 Then comes the head skin applier. I am sorry. A mesh body and head is some of the most expensive items for your avatar appearance. People want to look better and better and they are willing to pay. So I am asking if you want to skip learning about layering and go to the Bakes on Mesh option. It let you use skins and tattoos as you did before. And hairbases and beards. You add and take off them as before. They show up on your meshbody without having to add a HUD, and turn layers on and off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lS-0s2-pa-c The advertisement for Nivaro Lion says it comes with full body textures. You can ask ReishiProphet if that means it is for Bakes on Mesh. It is like the old system skins and tattoo layers. Next to the Belleza Jake ad it is a blue poster that say Bakes on Mesh. This gives you a small HUD that let you change the body to Bakes on Mesh. You wear the system skin and the body hair tattoo (s) you want. You go into Avatar Appearance and tint the body hair there.
  16. That store must advertise by word of mouth. I shopped a lot before I got houses and started to spend all my time on home decor. I am in the Marketplace almost every day, and I look at Apparel too - never seen it. I would have remembered those distinctive images. I have never heard of it. But now I know!
  17. You said nothing about what group you posted on behalf of in your post here. You said "we" and "our group" like you represented that Home Association Group. It isn't granted that people know who you are and what group you represent, even if you had 10 000 members.
  18. The only good thing is that I don't have to explain that I have too much pain or are too exhausted to do things and visits. It is always the same questions, are you not better yet, what does the doctor say, I read about a woman who has the same diagnose as you and got well when she took C-vitamins (insert other vitamin/mineral/prayer/voodoo here). I get tired of their loud talk and their too many annoying questions. I am mostly introvert. I miss so many other things. People/social events I actually want to visit. No library. No swimming pool, no physiotherapist, no cinema. No casual strolling in shops and looking at things. Inspecting things, lifting them up, turning them around is not allowed. Touch only what you buy. I miss times when people could walk close to each other, now I or they jump aside.
  19. I am using the Beta grid for building. My avatar does not get updated there , so she is still from 2018. I see how cute she is. But I have no idea what appliers she used for that look. I have to dig out all the skin appliers, eyebrow appliers and other appliers to recreate that look in SL itself. 😩 I have not bothered yet. It is so much easier with BoM, yes! It is just to click on "worn" and the list pops up. This skin, these eyebrows, freckles, eyeliner, eyemakeup, lipgloss, tattoos, hairbase and so on.
  20. I have heard a lot about how the Genus eyes had this glitch, so I was positively surprised when I tried on the head and eyes. They look like this when I wear GENUS Project - Genus Eyes v1.4 with the eyes alpha. It is an eye setting in the GENUS Project - Basic Animation HUD v1.3 where you can try to play with the settings. It is the eye with arrows around that you can use to look up/down/to the sides. But I have not used it. I wear the eyes with the .euphoric ~Hope Eyes Applier ~[Genus] applier. (Free group gift in store) On my other Genus head user, I am using the unrigged eyes I had, since I wanted to keep the look, and the eyes are not updated with appliers. I show a screen shot how it looks when I edit them. I use pose stand in the viewer (Firestorm) or you can use a ordinary posestand if you don't have Firestorm. I attach this clever free HUD, AnyPose Expression HUD v1.0. Its animations are useless for a mesh head, but it still works well for eye position. I pose the eyes to stare straight forward and begin to edit one eye. When it looks good, I copy the position settings to the other. Now comes the best: I use different eye positions to make sure no part of the eyes clip through the head when they move. In this case you can see the eye pop out slightly. It means I have to either move the eyes a tiny little bit closer to the nose (both eyes) or a tiny bit deeper in the head. I write it so detailed, because it can be people new to editing who read this thread. I am used to editing mesh eyes, I did this all the time with mesh eyes and the classic avatar. So it is not a new thing.
  21. Are you saying that you are a member of that Home Ownership Association group, it is not clear to me from your post.
  22. When every viewer uses EEP, what will happen like special windlights like the ones from Battlescars? Can we still use them, and will they look the same? And all our other windlights like Tusken, will all these be gone for ever?
  23. There are some chubby skins. Maybe that would work. Like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/deetalez/32580679527/in/dateposted/ Shows the body so maybe a bit NSFW. But the nipples and bits are covered.
