Only in SL can you go to a snowy sim in a skimpy dress and not feel the cold

[Trying to put on Essenz shoes with Maitreya]

First off try changing the foot shape in the hud it looks like the shoes need the high foot option if that's not the answer try editing the position of the shoe right click and select edit you may be able to drag the shoe up to the foot. If you have access to Slink or Slink compatible mid and high feet try those options and see if you get the same problem on the Slink

The only similar demo i can see on the marketplace requires Slink/Maitreya high feet

Gatcha should be banned, but not from Martketplace. It should be banned from in-world too. 

Gatcha is just a form of gambling and illegal in most countries in the world.

Gatcha should, if ever, only be allowed to people over 21,

Gacha's exist in RL too and they are marketed towards children with toy's and figures of cartoon characters i see them in the supermarket they have them at the end of the checkouts/exit area in vending machines explicitly labelled as a Gacha when i was a kid you'd see similar outside the newsagent put 20p in and out would pop a plastic egg with a random flimsy adjustable metal ring inside that turned your finger green

["Darn, you have been logged out of Second Life"]

I wouldn't be surprised if the WiFi is the problem it's entirely possible the WiFi in your system is being turned off or reset. your router is losing signal/connection, locking up or not locking on to the internet. If the viewer loses a connection to the net for long enough you'll get logged

Why would you want breasts that were differently shaped from each other or hang differently?

Perhaps there should be separate sliders for left and right side features of the face too.

*shrugs*

To better replicate how un-symmetrical they are in RL perhaps there could be a setting built in the body where by when you're clothed or in lingerie they come up to your chin as soon as you let them roam free they flop down to your belly  or maybe just accept what we get in SL isn't always going to be perfect as we want

Even then everyone is different or I'm not natural since I neither have kids nor been pregnant.

You're fortunate. Size, weight changes and gravity haven't been so kind to some of us 

[I'm endlessly frustraited with my shape.]

I would think the OP's issue is down to the type of clothes/lingerie and mainly size apologies for the dress alphas still showing, On me boob size 80 gravity 30 from the side they do look a bit angular in the included Maitreya bra not enough to bother me. When maxed out to 100 they were more angular looking. As i see it for a larger bust the nipple placement is higher and perkier (even with more gravity), than what it naturally should be in RL really they should be a bit lower down and point more downwards then they wouldn't have the "weirdness" the OP isn't happy with

[How to find out when a sandbox cleans?]

you should be able to right click on the ground and select 'about land' or 'parcel info' something like that if the general tab doesn't mention a return time click the objects tab and it will show you the auto return time

[what is with all the accounts under the water?]

They're not just in water i've seen them clustered on a few sims across Jeogeot in the nearest sim to my parcel they're on a patch of abandoned land when my alt went and had a look a few days back a couple of Av's had a good cam no doubt wondering why i was snooping

[Discussion about wandering around the mainland grid]

Wandering the Mainland can be fun being on Jeogeot i had to pay a rent box for a booth i rent today and decided rather than TP home i'd get my bike out cycle home. The strangest thing i saw was a load of presumably bot av's just dumped in a sim standing there doing bo diddly. i've also seen the same thing in an abandoned parcel in Bieup a fellow welcome centre bordering sim 

[What are you doing today!? :D]

Had a browse round the Shop & Hop inworld if anyone remembers how packed the SL14B shopping event was this takes place in the same sims and is comparatively rather quiet. most stores have freebies ranging from applier skins (for the most popular bodies) to homeware's, jewellery & shoes

With out doubt taken from Daz this body and this body look more or less exactly like bodies in this package on the Daz store 

[my shape is a polygon!]

If you are using the system body that's your problem even with a good skin and cleavage you are never going to get a smooth body the central bit decollete has long been my least favourite part of the system body. if you want a smooth body you need to go mesh i was recently able to afford to do it and while the system body has been perfectly serviceable i like how smooth and natural looking a mesh body is, if your tit's are your main concern they'll look much more akin to RL ***** than the unfortunate system implant look

[LL Shopping Events - How exactly do they pick merchants?]

Didn't realise this was inworld too saw it on the marketplace and my initial reaction was LL showing favouritism to certain stores over others like it has done in the past it's encouraging to see merchants were allowed to apply to be part of the promotion rather than hen pecked by LL

will have to make the time to visit the inworld event as there are brands i like taking part

[How many of you try to make your avatar look like your offline selves?]

When i first started in SL i wanted to look like me and tried to make myself look like me but that soon went out the window the moment i discovered red prim hair i only stuck with shape eye and skin colour although i made myself tall because i didn't want to be as midget sized as RL. I remember there was once a service where you could have your RL self made in to a skin even if it still existed there's no way i'd inflict my ugly mug on the grid

fantastic info folks thank you. So I guess I need to buy another property really.

Before you go to the expense of buying a larger parcel look as see if you can find areas you could do what i call "eprimamising" it's quite easy to find furniture items that when not in use occupy a single pim/1Li or you could source a lower LI home (if you are not in a Linden home) if your home and/or furniture is copy/mod you could always try getting rid of some unnecessary prims/Li (which may be slightly advanced for a newbie) if it goes wrong you can always rezz a fresh version and start over. if reducing your prim usage is a no go by all means find a larger parcel

[How to use old skin with new mesh body]

7 hours ago, VeronicaVelvet said:

Hi I have a really old skin made by Linden (newbietemplate Linden) the account is from 2002- 15years old. that says it is able to mod and copy and I want to use it on a Maitreya mesh body. Can I do this and is it not infringing on someones copyright? ? Is there a way to do this? If so can i be directed to a place where i can get instructions on how to do this? I would be sooooo grateful thank you *hugs*

 

also if it could be used on another mesh body would work too Slink or whatever. Thanks

It is possible to adjust the body colour in the HUD when i was using an old skin, i demoed the body and using the closest pre-set skin tone then used the 'colour picker' to fine tune the body's skin to perfectly match mine, Slink has a skin tone HUD too so you can adjust the body skin to yours but i found i couldn't get it to go pale enough but will work out well if you are more tan

[How did SL gain its "bad" reputation?]

Before i joined in '08 SL had already been given a bad rep by the media as a place where paedophiles would hang out at virtual playgrounds with kid av's. but on the other side through true life magazines and magazine programs it was seen as a place for dating as people told their stories of how they met via SL but got married and had children in RL
