Thank you so much for your help! I ended up going with Lucybody Natasha as it works perfectly with clothing for V-tech and is BOM enabled. Still bummed I can't wear most men's clothing (like tank tops and t-shirts) and that the v-tech options are so limited, but am very grateful for this forum and appreciate your help immensely!

Thank you! I ended up getting Maitreya flat chest, only to discover that there are very few androgynous/unisex clothing items (same issue with V-tech). Seems like most creators cater to femboys so their clothing is more feminine . Unfortunately the male clothing does not fit right either.... some Tweenster clothing works, but very limited options. Right now I'm wearing a Tweenster hoodie, but it's literally the only option I could find that works:-/

I would like to be able to wear men's clothing, and am wondering if Maitreya with V-tech would work or if I would actually need to wear a male mesh body (I don't want male bits or breasts, just want to be able to wear men's clothing).

Thank you so much for your help!

I am dual logging using Firestorm and noticed that my ear shape and hair appears different from my alt's perspective. I'm wondering what causes this issue.

I'd recommend trying all available fishing games (there are several) and determine for yourself which is most profitable, and only fish during 2x multiplier events. The profit I made from normal fishing (1x events) was around 4L per buoy, but each game is different. At 2x events, I made 10-13L per buoy, but some games pay out much less (even with the most expensive rods, which I don't recommend unless you plan on fishing all day, every day)

The only reason I am opting for a laptop is because I am unable to sit at a desk. I was actually using my desktop in bed, but ended up injuring my shoulder from the setup (mouse and monitor on the side of my bed). Both the i7 and Ryzen 7 have the same setups, with exact same Display, Memory and Storage. The AMD specs are: AMD Ryzen™ 7 4800H (2.9 GHz base clock, up to 4.3 GHz max boost clock, 4 MB L2 cache, 8 cores) Integrated: AMD Radeon™ Graphics Discrete: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1660 Ti (6 GB GDDR6 dedicated) There are other models available, but the ones I listed are within my price point ($1200). Thank you for letting me know about the stream!

I am currently in the market for a new laptop. I've narrowed it down to a particular model, and am trying to decide which CPU to pair with a GTX 1660Ti. Would Ryzen 7 be a better choice than i7 10750H? I'm mainly concerned with thermal performance as I spend many hours in SL each day.

It crashes to black screen, monitor and pc both turn off. This happens on every viewer I have tried. I'm afraid to replicate the issue to copy and past the info but will do so at some point when I am not needing to use my computer. I appreciate your going out of your way to help me!

Thank you for all of these helpful tips! I cleaned out the inside of my pc, have tried adjusting the settings on the SL viewer and have also tried every viewer on the third party list, altered all of the settings but my pc is still crashing when playing SL. I thought it was an overheating issue but I used Open Hardware Monitor software and the temps were fine prior to crashing. The irony is that I am able to play other games like Skyrim just fine. Not sure what it is about SL that is so taxing on my computer.

Thank you so much for your advice! I would have never known these things without your help - so grateful!

Wow I didn't know that! What advanced graphics settings would be good for someone whose pc tends to overheat on Medium settings? Chic Aeon, thank you! I was mainly concerned about just solo play, so this is good to know:)

Wondering if it is better to wear a non-mesh avatar if one is having computer issues and can barely run SL as it is even on low graphics settings.

lol very true. I appreciate everyone's help and feedback! Do most people use special windlights? I have been in SL for almost 10 years and only use sunset and midday lol. Still so much to learn!

Thank you so much! But then everyone else will still see me looking like that lol

When I try out skins on various mesh heads they do not look like the creator's photo. When viewed in Midday lighting, there are white areas under the eyes, on the nose, above the mouth and on the chin, dark shadows under the eyes, etc. that makes it look less realistic and less warm toned than the photo. Is there any way to fix this? I am not sure what I may be doing wrong. I am using the provided shape.

My current AO makes my avatar (a toddler sized mesh avatar) sink down into the ground during certain animations. I am wondering if there is a workaround, or if the problem may be with my mesh av itself (or perhaps my toddler size). Thank you in advance for your help!:)
