[basic advice how to change to mesh body...]

2.  Are there certain MESH bodies that are easier to find clothing for?

3.  Are there certain MESH bodies that have more choices of clothing?

For both of these Maitreya has the biggest availability of clothing if after demoing different bodies you think it's the body for you but not in your price range, yet. i had an alt try out the L$30 Sahara "Maitreya compatible" body from http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fredrix/217/15/73 (adult sim) it's not very newbie friendly in terms of applying skins as you need actual skin textures to get a UUID (there's a pack for L$1 there) and has no applier/Omega support or bento there's also a very basic L$1 head available not worth buying IMHO my alt is wearing Maitreya rigged stuff obtained free from the recent winter Shop & Hop Jumper - Evani & Trouser/Boot combo - Blueberry but anything Maitreya i've tried has fitted as well as it would on the actual body

 

 

[Mesh clothes/Alpha]

Supplied alpha suggests you are still using the system body if that is the case you need to try a larger size if included or adjust you shape to fit the clothes. If you ever decide to go mesh clothing for the particular body you go for will almost always fit right you may need to use the supplied alpha HUD to hide body parts

The shoes are unlikely to have the same size and angle needed to fit

I have found system feet shoes only need the shoe shape appropriate foot height and repositioning, some resizing might be needed to work with Maitreya feet. It's extremely difficult to get system feet shoes to work well with Slink feet 

So if you could get rid of the feet from shoes you stand a chance of being able to wear them still

 I was only told  that I should 'not jump into pressing buttons and changing things before reading more about avatars.'

That in itself is very good advice you should follow it. Soak up all the advice you are given and you will understand how system and mesh bodies work 

[AVATAR FEET]

I am using a classic mesh body 'Jenny."  So you need a foot shaper along with the alpha shoe?  Maybe thats where I went wrong.

That is exactly right. shoes for system feet are dwindling I see almost no new stuff for system feet, you can go down the route of buying Slink/Similar feet or Maitreya feet if you plan on keeping the system body. If you want to get a cheap mesh body eBody and Alatmura work well with Slink shoes as well as having their own rigging and a body called Sahara is Maitreya compatible but it's not very user friendly 

[male avatar wearing women clothes and pout on his face womans make up and hair]

Might be possible to do it by wearing a female body with flat chest add on and use male body omega applier skins instead of female then you could wear female clothing 

If that idea doesn't work I'm sure someone else will know better

[I don't understand this game]

1. Unlike the games you are used to playing very little of the content has been optimised and you are downloading the world around you where ever you go it's not stored on your computer

2. This "game" doesn't have any tasks or goals it's a case of "your world, your imagination" a good starting place would be to use the search tools to find things you are interested in

[is there easy sandbox to find and will open most things?]

You can try typing sandbox in to map there are plenty of LL owned sandboxes other sandboxes I've used little blue Island and hobo Island 

When you use a sandbox if you rez stuff either unpack with right click open or test things out. There are tools out there such as the free version of mystitool that will rez a sky platform so you can find a bit of privacy and space in the sky to unbox and test things or some viewers Rez a platform for you. It's courtesy to remove your items when you are finished but they always have a good few hours before your items are automatically returned to you if something prevents you from cleaning up

If you need to quickly unbox something there are lots of rez zones on Linden roads the sim Cheju has one they have a much shorter return time than sandboxes 

[How can I make my avatar DANCE?]

In addition to the other great answers if you have any AO you are using turned off or you may need to detach pressing F9 F10 F11 & F12 will trigger dance animations they don't loop so you'd have to continually press the F numbers 

[How much of a shopaholic are you?]

I like shopping, when I have the time I go to events and stores I've seen stuff I like in, since I started keeping up with fifty Linden Friday I think nothing of spending up to hundreds of L$ on stuff every week but at a store or event the item has to be really amazing if the same amount of L$ is to be prized off of me 

[Can I make money doing this one specific thing?]

Pole & lap dancing are more than just plonking yourself on the appropriate furniture and waiting for the money to roll in, if that's what you were hoping. you'll often work for tips and the owner will take a percentage share. Many places i'm sure will expect a nicely kitted out mesh Av these days and you have to be good at emoting and making punters want to fill your tip jar.

If you look in the inworld employment section the job adverts will often give you locations and the name(s) of people to contact if you're interested in the employment opportunity

[What mesh bodies do you use?]

So I need a body, a head, body skins, head skins, and body applier and a head applier too!

 

If you are using a mesh body and head you just need appliers

WHere would I go to get the  Maitreya  body with bento hands included and skin?

You can get the body from the Maitreya & Lelutka mainstore's (easily found using search). If you do get a Maitreya body it's included skins are from Glam Affair you should not have any trouble sourcing an applier for your Catwa at their store. There are plenty of other skin stores out there too it will not be hard finding body & head appliers

[Weird things happening (harassment?)]

If you are being orbited sitting on the ground or an object will stop that, using the feature "force ground sit" ctrl + alt + s (in firestorm) can be very useful such griefer tools can be used where rezzing is not allowed when I used to get "orbited" it was in the realms and only used to try and get me sent home but by enabling the ground sit as soon as it happened the griefer would get sent home. Elsewhere you'd have to wait till the griefer gets fed up as I'm sure tping away didnt stop it

That would work i do remember that page, it was actually a set of vendors i bought many years i remembered the panel from and a slightly different version can be made too. totally understand if a prim is just too flat and uniform

[Enhanced Listings]

The point is that there are only 8 products enhanced on that landing page, and mine is never one of them. I'll see what happens after 24 hours, but I pay for 7 days... amd that's one spent without any benefit. 

It can take a bit of time for your enhancement become active it can also be that you will have to refresh the page many many times before your enhancement shows to you. over the years any time i've done an enhancement it was the cheapest L$0 checkout one and when i went to buy a L$0 item to test my enhancement i had to refresh the page of featured items numerous times seeing the same stuff come up many tens of times before i saw my item. it may be a deliberate feature that your own enhancement is shown to you fewer times than other peoples

[5 panel frame]

A five panel frame can be made out of a prim cube but each frame will be the same uniform size which probably isn't what you want

[DISTORTED CLASSIC BODY]

If you are trying a shape demo the pretty much only things a shape maker can do to mark it out as a demo is to make the hands and feet huge and the shape no mod so it's impracticable to use and you have to buy the non demo shape
