Definitely 3. Once we get BoM you should have no trouble layering a brow on your BoM enabled head. So the sky's the limit on brow possibilities.

This, please!

That would be a shame. There's been some very thoughtful remembrances of what war is really like in the pages of this thread. To stay on topic and let the thread run it's course naturally would in and of itself show honor to those who fought.

Your reply could simply be, "off-topic." But that's not what you are doing. You are compounding the problem by escalating the issue.

All I gotta say is .. this morning has led me to drink! I wish people would read grid status when something seems out of the norm. Sure would make life easier.

Well damn! I'm so glad you corrected me. Seriously glad. One of my pet peeves is titles that make no sense. So seriously, thank you!

I'd really love an "asshat" emoji for responses.

Reading the OPs comments carefully, it doesn't seem that she's saying the hair disappears at all, but that her clothing under the hair is disappearing just as Ayela demonstrated in her pics.

One thing to keep in mind is that appliers have evolved over time. It's possible that you've purchased an applier that was made years ago and will consequently not work the same as the newer versions. Reaching out to the creator should ALWAYS be the first step in getting customer satisfaction. If you don't hear back from the creator then by all means write that review and include the fact that you didn't have any success when you reached out to the creator.

The following is a portion of a notecard we pass out in the Maitreya Lara Friends group: There are very few things that can actually go wrong with the Lara HUD. In most cases, it's not actually the HUD at all. Here are a few simple steps you can use: First, go to Avatar > Avatar Health > Refresh Attachments. This is designed to get the server and viewer back in sync regarding what you are wearing. Didn't help? Read on... 1. Does the HUD open and change tabs? If "Yes" the HUD is not the problem. Skip to 5 *** If you know you have clicked Delete Scripts/Kill Scripts in Skins & Options, Skip to 7 If "No"... 2. Check to be sure you are in a parcel that allows scripts. Try another region if you are unsure. (Maitreya Isle is a good place to test) 3. Detach your other HUDs to see if one of them was overlapping the HUD and not allowing you to click on it. We see HUDs as being flat on the side facing us. They're not. They have depth, and sometimes they can end up behind an invisible part of another HUD. The other HUD might not be close to the Lara HUD. Check them all. 4. Try to detach your Lara HUD. If it will not come off, it's not really there. This can happen when you Teleport if you have more than one thing attached to the same spot. The Lara HUD defaults to Bottom Left. If you have other HUDs attached there too, and there was a bit of lag between SL servers when you TP'd you can end up with your HUD showing for you, but the server thinks it's gone. Since scripts run on the server, not in your HUD, if the server thinks it's gone, nothing happens when you click. *** If you for any reason move your HUD to another HUD attachment point, never attach it to Center2 if you use Firestorm. The LSL bridge lives there. If your HUD was able to open and change tabs, it's time to look at the body. 5. Make sure you're actually wearing the mesh body. (This happens. Seriously). Put on the Alpha layer that came with the body. If you disappear, you were not wearing the mesh body. 6. Your body might not actually be there, even though you see it. This can happen when you Teleport if you have more than one thing attached to the same spot. The Lara body defaults to Avatar Center. If you have other items worn on that spot, and there was a bit of lag between SL servers when you TP'd you can end up with your Body showing for you, but the server thinks it's gone. If this has happened, you will not be able to remove the body and others will not see it. This is actually a very old SL problem. *** If you have something that must be on Avatar Center (like a pet) move the body to an unused spot. The pet will not work anywhere else. Shoulders and hips are not used that often and are good candidates. Do NOT attach the body to a HUD attachment point. It will look normal to you, but nobody else will be able to see it. 7. If your body is really there, and you are in a place that allows scripts, there is really only one thing left. Right click your body, and choose Script Info. You should see something like this in Nearby Chat: [Script info: 'Body10': [4/4] running scripts, 256 KB allowed memory size limit, 0.894543 ms of CPU time consumed.] If yours says [Script info: 'Body10': [0/0] running scripts you have found the problem. Your body is 'descripted'. The cure is to redeliver and replace your Body, Hands, and Feet. *** The only way this can happen is if you click the button in Skins & Options marked Delete Scripts. On earlier versions, this was Kill Scripts. Once you click that you are presented with a dialog asking if you are sure. If you accept the action, the scripts are deleted. You can't put them back. There is simply no way to do that. This was written by Gryphon Ronas, Maitreya CSR. I strongly recommend joining the Maitreya Lara Friends group if you use a Maitreya body. The group is very helpful in all things Maitreya.

I strongly recommend Skinnery for their body appliers. They have three different fitness levels and each comes with many options. They have a ton of head appliers for Lelutka as well.

I often change parts of hair from alpha blending to alpha masking. I do NOT do it as a whole, however, as that does tend to make the hair less attractive. Instead, using select face, I will only do the hair strands that cause the most problems. So those that nearly always cause parts of my hairline on my baby hairs hairbase to disappear and those strands that hang down and cause issues with clothing that has transparency. This is also the main reason I almost never buy hair that doesn't have modify perms. BoM will be a great help for things like hairbases and eyelashes, but it won't help with our fitted mesh clothing. So learning how to turn on alpha masking for offending hair strands is still something we're going to need to do.

This guy I know kept derendering my clothes and then laughing about it, so I made some cute little applier undies with messages for him about his being an asshat. So either wear applier undies or alpha out sections as Callum mentioned. But I'm so used to seeing naked mesh when I arrive at an event that I don't even think twice about it. Even in those G rated areas who cares anymore? We basically know that if we're wearing mesh we're going to be naked to someone for some amount of time.

Please read the description of the body you purchased, and linked here in this thread, carefully. NO where does it say the body is omega compatible. NO where does it say it comes with more than the one skintone, Ginger. This body comes with one skintone, period. I don't think anyone can help you to put a different skin on that body. Only the creator of the body can do that!

I'm going to qualify my answer before I start by saying I've never been pregnant in SL. But as a result of being asked this very question in the Maitreya Lara Friend's group so often, I decided to work on shaping the body's belly to emulate pregnancy. This is beneficial in that your current clothing will change with the shape so you won't need to buy a lot of extra clothing to work with an add-on. This also prevents the problem with join lines and matching skin tones with add-ons. The Lara belly can end up looking more like a torpedo than a belly easily if not careful when modifying the shape. If you are member of the Maitreya Lara Friends group, you can find the pregnancy helper in the proportion tool kit in the groups notices. It is free to all group members. The helper guides you through making adjustments to your shape. It's not a bunch of shapes or a hud that will change your shape. There are huds available that will change your shape as well, I've not personally seen them, but have been told they exist on the Marketplace. I'm not suggesting one method over another. I just wanted you to know that changing your shape is a real possibility if you don't want to get an add-on.

Looking at the Marketplace ad for the body, it does not appear to be Omega compatible. It states: SLUV: You can apply your existing skins (apply any skin, tattoo and system clothes without needing any applier using Bake On Mesh. So it seems that you will have to wait on BoM to apply a skin or make a skin for it since the dev kit is available and the body is fully mod. Reading the information for the head you should be able to use any Omega head applier on it. I have no personal knowledge of either the head or the body. I just read the information provided in the Marketplace ads.

No more black patches, lots of new boats added, and oh my all those little houses! I just seem to be excited------

Me too! Especially after being ever so gently reminded of that fact by Patch himself.

I agree with the previous posts about the big three bodies: Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink. Also agree completely that Maitreya is the most supported; however, that's not nearly as pervasive as it once was, so if you prefer the shape of either the Belleza Freya or Slink Hourglass don't worry about clothing so much as creators that were once Maitreya only are now adding those two body sizes to their clothing lines. The one thing I'd like to add to the list in regards to mesh heads is to carefully demo the animations that come with the head. If you buy a head that is gorgeous unanimated but the then face distorts in ways you aren't fond of during animation it can make you regret your purchase. Also, pay close attention to the main HUDs. Do you like how the HUD works? This should be a priority when selecting a head IMO. I find the video tutorials made by Strawberry Singh to be a very helpful resource when looking into mesh heads and bodies. This is a link to her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE6xvjkOu6wE-wJ-7-1x5bw. Scroll down until you see the heading: Second Life Content. You will find playlists for mesh bodies, female mesh heads, and male mesh heads. She has done a video on all the major brands heads and bodies. She goes over how the huds work and shows various skins on the heads.

I suppose search results can vary from person to person, so I'm not sure if my experience and his would be the same. When I did the search this morning I had lots of pages of items without interference from gacha items.

Gives you one hella big texas hug

I've googled it many many times .. for some reason it doesn't stick.

Why can't I ever remember what IBTL is .. dangit .. I know the peeps at google are wondering if I'm ever going to get it.

Now all this time I thought you were in the UK. Now I need a major mind shift. Not nice to do to an old lady.
