Addons are still available. PetiteX and FlatX each also include the 5.3 versions. The PetiteX and FlatX Full versions, also include 5.3 versions, are separate purchases.

Lelutka does not own the classic UV map. They will not and cannot sue you for using it. As the name "Classic" implies....it is the UV for the Classic base Avatar that Linden Lab created.

It's by Doux

The Maitreya Vintage Jeans at the Maitreya store have been updated to include the LaraX size. Redeliver them

Most only use BOM skins , tatts and skin doo dads. Mesh clothes are still the norm. Going BOM as very little to do with painted on system layer clothes for the majority of us. At least in BOM mode, we can layer all sorts of skin things, to get a look we like. Something that does not work so well with applier systems.

I have not looked lately, but both Catwa and Lelutka also had/have a Maitreya body vendor. Just added trivia ::D

Those are Avi Glam eyes..... as indicated on the Ad pic you've posted

Ahhhh ok...this is great to know. I totally missed this. I am so used to doing things the way I have for so long, I did not see past my frustration lol. Thank you and carry on !

Seems mostly a bad one to me. A lot harder to find specific stores/creators ..actually, almost impossible now. Been experimenting a lot today and bummer for anyone looking for those specific stores they need/want. And that is just the consumer side. As a designer, myself.... this is worrisome as well. Anyone looking for my store or name is pretty much SOL. Luckily, my inworld store does just slightly more in sales. Still, MP just as important to me.

I can no longer search MP using a residents name/creator name. Is this working as intended? And if so... why? Would be super odd o.O. I am hoping this has been addressed and is an unfortunate bug.

Sad news. Her freebie dungeon/basement was amazing to my poor newb AV in 2010. She was generous, funny and always positive. RIP Ivey

I knew her and very proud to have been her friend. She was one of the sweetest, kindest people you could ever meet in SL. Free Dove was her passion. It was a lot of passionate hard work that went into keeping it open all these years ....and keeping it free for all. She is missed.

Hair is by Monso and it is at Fameshed atm.

Hair is by Doux. The bangs are separate, there are a few to choose from at Doux...not sure which bang set is being used.

This is exactly right on. The only way to change the materials is by using a Materials only applier. I don't have any experience with the new Belleza, so I don't know if a dev kit is available for something like that. A modify version of any body would allow that to be done in edit mode.

Research. A two second google search would have made your post unnecessary: https://secondlife.com/destination/slea

This is so confusing. ALM does not add much in the way of vibrancy, color and detail in the diffuse texture. It never has. People have been making lovely vibrant textures for years in here....no ALM needed. ALM is about the materials and the effects of the in game lighting, that can add ADDITIONAL detail and a pseudo 3d texture to an object....for those that wish to go all out. So, I don't understand what you mean by "second texture looks like ALM is on but it's done in Photoshop." The second texture is going to look just as it does in or out of ALM.

Any clothing item that uses the newer version of the auto hide script , introduced with the V5 bodies can be removed. Instructions here: https://sl-maitreya.blogspot.com/p/alpha-auto-hide.html Older clothes do not use the newest version. I have also seen some newer clothes still using the old version, which is something the designer needs to update. The other alternative, is to use the Delete Scripts function on the Maitreya HUD.. MISC Tab. That will delete scripts from the body, auto hide will no longer work...but that also means nothing else on the HUD will work either. Nail polish appliers will no longer work. Alpha cuts on the Alpha tab will no longer work. The body would essentially be saved just as it was when you deleted the scripts. These days, if you use BOM mode.. you can better get away with this option, as you can now use custom system alphas instead of using the HUD alpha cuts. And of course using BOM layers do not require any sort of scripting.

Personally I like the shape. I am a big fan of the "not quite perfect" look. I think it adds character and also stays just out of reach of the uncanny valley issue. Not that it should matter what I think in any way. Really, if it looks off to you...then it just does.
