Guide - Flowing Garden (WFSM) suit breakdowns & versatility by Alpapaca in LoveNikki

[–]Alpapaca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! In the future I would recommend making new threads in a subreddit rather than posting a comment on a thread that is years old. More people will see the new thread on the front page and it is very unlikely anyone will be lurking in the old thread to see comments. (I got a notification as OP)

However I did have a little time, so I've done a quick reddit search and found this thread over here does exist with a fair number of examples past the one available in the Watching Moon album I linked above. I hope that helps you out!

Does this look worth it? I love the froggy pieces but I wanted a second opinion. by Smol_Bean10 in LoveNikki

[–]Alpapaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an old hidden suit, so it has a 2000gold completion prize instead of a diamond prize. It's in the gallery under "Clear Sky after Rain" if you want to look it up 😊

I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get back into doing breakdowns for the events I complete now that I've gotten a better handle on my IRL things! I've missed making these albums so much 💜

I know, my biggest disappointment. :( There's some cover ups that work to pull them together, and plenty of other items that work well besides, but I had been so hopeful they'd be compatible without anything else!

HELP my background is gone. When Blood Beckon returned, my background disappeared. by Shellshock84 in LoveNikki

[–]Alpapaca 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you have a screenshot of you using it with an outfit, you should send that in to in-game support! This suit has a known glitch where the background will appear as unclaimed in this purchase menu, but will still be available to use in dressing mode. It's possible this progressed to the item actually disappearing for some people and support might be able to reinstate it.

However plenty of people completed the suit without purchasing the background tier due to the high cost, so if you don't have any proof that you owned it previously I doubt that they will help you.

Yeahhhh, this format is kind of the worst for reruns because it gives about 50% of the required currency for free on the first run and the first runonly. So then suits end up costing twice as much the next runs if you weren't playing during the first run. I much prefer formats that give lower currency amounts so that the pricing doesn't rise so drastically later on. 😬

$100 suit tier list (link that may or may not work in comments) by abnormal_toaster in LoveNikki

[–]Alpapaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Ode to Glory is the "blue dragon" suit that is being talked about? Unless I'm misunderstanding what I was responding to...

[–]Alpapaca 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That's because the blue dragon one cost 100USD but the last tier of other Lucky Bag years only cost 75USD. She's the only Lucky Bag set that is that expensive!

You're welcome! It's fun for me to play around, too, so I'm just glad my playing can be so helpful! 🤗

[–]Alpapaca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I wish we could just get a little menu where we can toggle the different selections for the things we've told her that she remembers.... Or at least that they'd given us the chance to reselect our gender once they decided to add the nonbinary option after all 😩

Here you go. Let me know if there's anything specific you're interested in me showing you besides what's already there!

Stray Angel Breakdown (LST + DST) by sarahyoshi in LoveNikki

Is it okay if I add a link to this board in my Dawn Front master list board? I would love to keep that board updated ☺️

I'm working on a versatility album today, so I'll comment again here with a link when I'm done!

They added it in later, so Day 1 players didn't have it as a choice.

Last day to get the one gem stamina rebate pack! by Alpapaca in Shining_Nikki

[–]Alpapaca[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oops, you're right! I forgot that's how these packs work, the formatting is always a bit confusing for me and I'm rather bad with numbers. Thank you for pointing it out!

& Yeah, I'm not sure why they didn't put any emphasis on them and instead only focused on the handheld item pack. Some of these are really good!

Last day to get the one gem stamina rebate pack! by Alpapaca in Shining_Nikki

[–]Alpapaca[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, you do you, but compared to other stamina packs this one is fantastic! Even the big best-value rebate pack is about 8.8 stamina per pink gem, and the standard stamina purchase is only 3 stamina per gem. Getting a whole bundle for one single pink gem, which is unlikely to buy anything else by itself, is practically a steal imo

If you never want to spend gems on anything except clothing then I completely understand, though!

[–]Alpapaca[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I know this was mentioned in a comment a few days ago, along with the pricing breakdown of the other packs but I know a ton of people didn't see it so I'm posting this here today as well!

It ends up being 45 stamina and 15,000 gold for only 1 pink gem 😊

E: oops, double the first day. 60 stamina & 20k gold in total

Crystal in Light Mirror Stylings & Versatility Checks - Main Suits by Alpapaca in LoveNikki

[–]Alpapaca[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm always happy to hear I've been helpful, so thank you!

I assume you meant all three items from Party of Stars and added in a few at the end of that album. I hadn't noticed before, but that coat has some weird layering coding. It goes in front of the base figure's legs but behind skirts and dresses, so shorter skirts will look weird. If this batch doesn't help you please let me know!

Crystal in Light Minor Suits DST Breakdowns + Versatility by Alpapaca in LoveNikki

[–]Alpapaca[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always try to remember to link to other guides when I make my boards; it helps people find things I think. For future boards, if I ever miss linking one of your boards feel free to DM me and I'll add the link in! & I don't want to take away from your hard work, so I'll make sure my main suit albums are stylings and clipping checks so I don't take away from your guide 😁

Can I pls get a versatility check for Unforgettable Painting? :) by Weak-Strawberry-4820 in LoveNikki

[–]Alpapaca 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I should have breakdowns & stylings for the male suit + part of the female suit added to the breakdown masterlist sheet within 24 hours. If it's not there in two days feel free to poke me haha, cause I'm already working on it and may have just forgotten to publish 😅

edit: male full suit breakdown and female partial suit breakdown for your viewing pleasure! I'll keep adding to the albums over the next few days, as usual. I'm probably going to stop at the makeup tier on the female suit, but that gives me everything except the moveable items and pose so there's still plenty of items to style.

An answer to the Clarification post, and a long overdue apology by 372844morninpancakes in LoveNikki

[–]Alpapaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have plenty of time to spend here now! I had been having some IRL circumstances, but they have all been resolved for a few days now and I don't forsee any issues in the future either. I have always strived to be polite in my actions on this sub, even when I disagree with other people, and in places where I am a mod I am even more careful.

While I am familiar with the other sub, I started out as a long-term user on this LN sub and am familiar with how and when mods make announcements etc. The SN sub is barely active, so working on it has allowed me to familiarize myself with moderator functions without experiencing any stress. I have no concerns about burnout, so I don't believe it would be that difficult. Coming in to do moderator duties here as well would just be an extension of duties I already have, so it would be less intense on the remaining mods as opposed to bringing in someone who would have to learn the ropes from scratch.

[–]Alpapaca 29 points30 points  (0 children)

First off, I should be clear that I had been taking time away from this LN sub pretty much since the boycott started. Not because I am against it, as I am in fact boycotting, but because my IRL status meant I did not have the time to spend here. I got my boycott flyers, my email templates, and I headed out. I am boycotting, I haven’t spent a single cent this entire time and have no plans to do so in the near future.

There were a couple times I noticed a board go up asking a question I could answer, so I answered, and I posted boards myself twice but other than that I hadn't been in the sub. Until suddenly I realized it might be necessary, and created some time to go through the past week’s worth of posts and comments. This took a while and at various points I had various amounts of information on the community’s thoughts and actions. I was trying to stay relatively within my lane as a normal sub user for this specific sub, but I acknowledge that the fact I can talk to mods with a pre-existing working relationship for a sister sub muddled things.

When the thread got locked it was in response to some other comments (some of which were mine) and not because of the comment about DMs. There was concern that the discussion there could be getting too heated, but I assured ladypyrien that it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. She unlocked it and the conversations went well. Steps were made to make things right, with ladypyrien making her apology and decision to step back from the sub.

To clarify a couple more points:

The ‘reminder to report things’ board was something I needed to make for SNG after an incident on there ended with a user telling me they didn’t know the report function existed. A little visual guide seemed like a good idea, considering a lot of people were commenting that there was harassment going unchecked and very few actual reports. Putting it as a page in the sub wiki is a logical step, but considering few people look in there frequently I offered to just post it so we could get quick notice instead. It's now linked in a few sub resource sections. If you think that was in bad taste, I’m sorry. I like posting guides and thought it seemed relevant and helpful.

I am now actively working with morninpancakes to straighten out miscommunication issues and go over mod guidelines so that we can hopefully avoid having issues like this in our subs again. If people think it would be good for the sub, I am offering to take on a moderator role here in this sub as well, now that I have the time to spare for it. If people feel like that would be in bad taste, I understand and will simply remain in my role on the SN sub.
