    No need to keep the original box. The redelivery terminal at Maitreya is very dependable. Also, it's very likely that you don't actually need a redelivery as the hud very rarely breaks. It's more likely another issue causing your hud to appear as though it's not working. May I suggest you join the Maitreya Lara Friends group. I am a moderator for the group. We are there to help everyone with their Maitreya body.

    But why not keep the original box, in case the Maitreya sim is down for a restart. Is is also much faster to rez the original pack where you are, instead of going there, wait for the sim to rez, and find the terminal.

    I am the kind of person who prefer to fix things myself, and if I need a new HUD every 4-5 month or so, it is not strange. It is what's worn 24/7 in SL.

    I just want to add a bit here.  One of the reasons we recommend troubleshooting , is that often the problem cannot be solved with a relog.  So better to fix the actual problem. 

    I cannot tell you how many times a HUD problem has been caused by another HUD's transparent area covering up bits of the Maitreya HUD.  No amount of relogging is going to fix that.  So, yes we prefer to find the actual problem.  And sometimes, the fix is a relog.  That is just not the first thing I tell someone to do. 

    Just like the days of..."Clear your cache" for every single problem you run into...."Relog" has become the new "Clear your cache" :P

     

    Oh yes. That one.... been there....

    It is so many HUDs, and they minimize to a small innocent button, but cover a large rectangle.

    Plus, you have the original box in your inventory, and you can rez it again and again, to get the whole pack, body and HUD. You never get a no copy container of this body. The original is in your objects, and no matter how many times you rez it, you still have it there.

    Unless, you deliberatly deleted the original box from your inventory. You should not do that.

    More decor. I still have 100 prims left on the property, but I will stop now.

    This graveyard is to the left of the house. It was a narrow fit. I did very little changes on the set. Took off the fog bacease I used another fog. Edited the ground darker. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Mayas-Abandoned-Scary-Cemetery-Fog-Dead-Tree-Grave-Scary-Sound-Animations-Skeleton-Ghost-Crypt-Fence-Crow-Bench/15574016

    By the way, the black pumpkin is very visible, I think I edit it into some trees. It's an emitter for bats.

    Halloween - Bored with it already ?

    Why pay attention if SL sim owners or RL stores have Halloween or Christmas decor up "too early".

    Just don't buy any, does it offend you just that it exists?

    It is "Halloween shaming" in my home country, like "Why should we adapt American holidays, all American is bad for us and will ruin our traditions". They come up with horrible examples of teens who egg down houses and frighten elderly people. What does that have in common with the supercute kids that only reach up to my ribs? I have to urge them to take two pieces of candy, they are so well behaved that they don't dare to take two. So poor kids don't dare to go Trick and Treat. I buy lots of candy and nearly no one comes, even if I place out fake pumpkins and lights down at the garage. All who walk by can see that I am ready for visits.

    It is not that they dislike all new culture, but American culture. Baaad America.

    It is an exaggeration to say there is nothing to buy or no group gifts that can't be used the rest of the year.

    It is there, it is just you who has not seen it because you huff and puff over those pumpkins that's for sale now. Sure, it is pumpkins, hay-carts and ghosts. But it's not all. It is even gifts and freebies that's not Halloween themed.

    Like Magica, maybe you think she has a hair with witch hat and that's all, when it's just to scroll down and see the same hair without the hat. That's a new release.

    I will actually say that the Halloween themed stuff is not taking as much room as you think. Like COCO, she has her gift out, but she has a mainstore release just now and Fameshed release for October. So the gift is not instead of ordinary clothes, but it's an addition.

    Same is for every holiday, I might wish that free hair came without reindeer antlers and lightbulbs, but it's what the creator made for his December gift...

    And "every" freebie dress I find in February is red. (No, it's not)

    It's people who roleplay vampires and succubus all year in SL, so some of the halloween-looking stuff is actually mainstream. Like tails.

    I should add credits to my post "The Witching Hour"? But I was too tired after messing with the pose. I tried different ways to pose, different poses, different light.

    Hanging skull, arm wraps, skull earrings: aii, Threads of Fate, gacha, mainstore.

    Dress: Arcadia Iron riders hooded gown. Standard sizes. Normally I don't bother to buy clothes unless it is Maitreya fitted, but I made an exception for this one, since it was a 25L offer in 25 L Tuesdays a few weeks ago.

    Hair - that fit perfectly under the hood https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/nomatch-NOPROMISE-DEMO/7701265

    Wand: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/LGM-Wand-Pack/6007218

    Body, head, skin: Maitreya, LeLutka Simone, The Skinnery

    Ears: Mandala season 5

    Necklace: Swallow Rosary. The cross is under the dress.

    All furniture, build, hentagon star, DRD Mystery Mansion I, gacha

    The pose, oh boy that was something. It started with this: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/women-pose-11/7520141

    But when I got the hanging skull, I needed to use it. So the skull turns the left arm around like that, but I must change to Slink hands, since it's made for Slinks "Splayed" hand. I decided to use the wand, and used Slinks "Bag hold" for the right hand. Not done yet, I used the Animare pose HUD to straighten the back a little. Then I needed a poseball to drop the Pose 11 in, since my feet was floating over the pentagon. Every time after I edited the poseball, the other animations I used needed to be adjusted again.

    So it might look effortless, but it was not. I had the poseball, Slinks hand poses, and Animares posing HUD up. I took the pictures, saw that I wasn't right in the middle of the pentagon, moved the poseball again, attached/added the skull to get the arm in place, activated Slink hand poses, adjusted the back with Animare.

    And then I was done. Some editing in Ribbet.

    Applier for Catwa head

    in Your Avatar

    Posted · Edited by Marianne Little

    When you say the "highest current sellers" do you mean the top in Marketplace search?

    If you find skins you like with Google search, you can choose last year instead of "all".

    Also, Gacha is not as hopeless as people think. If you find a gacha skin from a existing store, they set up gacha vendors in the mainstore after the event. And on the machine/next to it, there is a demo offered. This is how it has worked for me so far, there can be stores who stopped selling gacha after an event but it is uncommon.

    When I find a thing I want, I put in the exact name in the Marketplace and list price from low to high. I was really lucky and got the *(OO)*YUKI_Pur applier for... 5 linden. And that was with bodyappliers in Omega and Maitreya included.

    This is a special low price, but it is like fishing for me, when I go looking for gacha secondhand.

    Here is the skin.... and no, it is not more on the MP.?

    Edit: I wear the very old Annie head, it is the second head Catwa made and not possible to edit. If I buy a Bento head, I would edit the head a bit rounder.

    Or try Slink Hourglass.

    You know that the outfit you link to is at least 3 years old, the review is from 2015. The ad also say that they have Wowmeh, Phatazz and Lolas appliers, and that is outdated. I would say: Don't purchase things who list those three parts. It is a true tell that it is old. Especially since it is not updated for Maitreya. Old, old, old.

    I am not sure if there is any bloggers who blog succubus stuff, but much of the stuff released this time of the year is for Halloween-themes and it is so much that can be used for a succubus. This blogger in particular, is very much in blogging the new stuff, and I bought many things after I saw it here. https://inventoryepisode.com/

    Visit http://seraphimsl.com/ and see all the fairs and events. Like the Dark Style Fair and Salem.

    There are Maitreya only things in the avatar appearance market. Many things in the genre sexy, black/red outfits.

    Take a look at the Marketplace again and compare Maitreya to others bodies. I would say that if you can make the curves big enough on that body, you should go for it. I have Hourglass on an alt, and it's not difficult to find things for her. But she still have to skip all the "Maitreya exclusive".

    I do know the house is a lot of prims, so make sure you have room for it. I went to see it for myself and Scarlet Creative actually posted on the ad that they're sorry about all the prims lol.

    My Palm View house is a lot to fill with furniture. I can do as I did there, hang curtains and have a couple of empty rooms. And not have skyboxes, only the 2 LI skybox and some poseprops.

    I plan to use the rooms upstairs when I need to set up a scene, and just fill the first floor with furniture.

    It was a bit over the top with all the stairs, but I understand it's made after a house from a movie. No problem with too many prims in RL! I hope she makes a version with just the same kitchen and conservatory, but only one set of stairs. Lots of LI to save there. It was the kitchen that sold the house to me. I would buy a new version of the house too, as long as the kitchen stays the same size and layout.

    I was trying to shrink it, it is possible with a resizer script. I resized the three parts and pushed them together. I reduced it 25% and that took off 94 Li.

    That's a lot of free LI to play with, but Scarlet Creative does not make homes for 8 feet tall people. So when the house was so small, I could not walk through the doors without hitting my head. I could only resize it down 5% without me looking like Godzilla in it. And well, 5% was so few LI saved that it's not worth it.

    What is the best mesh head for maitreya?

    For skins that match Maitreya, don't forget that Glam Affair (who makes the included Maitreya skins) often has groupgifts, participate i Fifty Linden Fridays and Collabor 88.

    I was in and took the Halloween gift, a zombie skin. It was also an August and a September gift. If I remember correct, the group is free to join.

    @ChibiDragon007one of the gifts had a Laq applier. I have a Laq head somewhere in my inventory, but I don't use it. So I am not sure if it's good.

    The skins have 5 eyebrow versions and freckles/moles on tattoo in the applier, so it is fully working skins.

    kitchen price

    I used the phrase "Herregud!", as you perhaps guess it's same as "Oh my God!"

    I was flipping through blogs and saw an amazing kitchen. I mean, wow. I have the Schulz bros kitchen and the Consignent kitchen plus the modern one for Palm View house, but this kitchen made my eyes large and round.

    I saw it was from Hive and that explains the look. So I read the next post, a very pretty house. I am tired of putting down cobweb and pumpkins, so I think I'll check the house on the MP.

    And the price, for a huge house from Scarlet Creative? 188 L!

    https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Scarlet-Creative-Magicae-House/15733135

    Wow again. I want to take down the haunted house I am decorating and set up this beauty now!

    But I will not do it before Halloween is over.

    Big picture of the kitchen in this blogpost: https://staubissecondlifeblog.blogspot.com/2018/10/practical-kitchen.html

    And the kitchen cost only 188 L too! Amazing. I am in awe.

    That uselesss piece of scripting is the first feature I usually roast in my outfits - if you work with saved outfits it is just crap and does the exact opposite of what it is supposed to do.

    With Bake on Mesh, we put alpha layers in the outfits :). I really wish we had it now, thank you LL, hurry up...please?

    And you are probably right about the script , but I hardly ever make outfits so I wouldn't know.
