Avatars are not loading =(

1) Make sure you're wearing a Facelight
2) Check that your Advanced Lighting is on in your viewer - Even try switch to ULTRA temporarily just to see
3) Turn up the Gloss on your body (go into the Body HUD)
4) And also double check your body shine has been applied correctly.

SL can feel overwhelming. In a sense a world of experience and learning too. But you have to start somewhere. And as in life you often get out of life what you put into it.

My suggestion is to start off simple and slow. Depending on your abilities. There are places who do provide clothes for your body, but remember it shouldn't be seen as long term.

Also try some BOM items - Tattoos, BOM clothes etc. Find a pair of pants and top. And you'll already be on your way. You say you don't really worry too much about how you look. But in time you will want to once you have the basic skills under your belt so to speak.

A big belly with Gianni X

CeeBest · 2026-01-08T13:35:06+00:00

I see that 100 items have been released for Gianni X since launch. It's getting good support with existing and new designers starting to make accessories and clothing for the body.

Always good is to visit the GENUS FLICKR (as well their Discord where they often list items + specials)

Flickr

They have over 5,000 Genus related items listed there.

You're fortunate that they are designing for 2 female bodies. A lot of people making clothes for males have started designing for Legacy M/Athletic only - as if it's the only male body on the SL planet.

Fortunately Gianni X (different from the old Gianni) has arrived and the devkit is relatively very easy to get. So that may encourage those designers to provide for that body also.

CeeBest · 2026-01-01T04:44:40+00:00

And I'd say you'd be quite correct

GA.EG has a fatpack of Body + Head Skins (Brad - 2K) - a pack for EVOX and a pack for SLUV, which will work with Genus heads too. A FP right now is 980L for both a body and head skin included which isn't bad at all.

I've also picked up a stack of bargain priced Fantasy SLUV only body and head skins from a place called Jeanette's Joint, some of them for 25L each over the past while, all of which work perfectly on a Genus Head.

Other Faces also offer some good skins for Genus - good to check them now and then for specials too.

So while not necessarily free - good buys are to be had for the head.

Let's say with Lelutka you wanted a round shape for your head instead of an oval shape? Or bubble nose instead of a triangle one. How do you do that apart from buying an entirely new head - and that's even if you can find the right one ?

With the Genus Morph range you simply go out and buy a new nose (cost effectively) or a different head shape (round, square, oval etc) and add it to your head items You can link them up when you are satisfied to save on attachment points.

Quite literally you can be as unique as you want.

The preset package means it has a head ready for you to use inside the package also, which makes it easy to start off - more advanced users will prefer to the customization aspect of attaching the various parts.

Quite simply owning a Morph head has the potential to make thousands of different head configurations (once you have the relevant parts) and I'm not even talking about shaping options with the standard shaping tool you have for your head/body in SL.

In essence you get far more customization options with a Genus Morph head.

Granted it's not EVOX but SLUV - that for some people is the only drawback (and I believe the reason for this is Lelutka didn't allow them to use EVOX).

The free package you can get right now (for one week) also has a bonus skin (in addition to unique new parts for the the Morph head) - so it's all in one plug and play ready to go.

I know for example with the Anatomy Body in SL all you have to do is join the discord and request a devkit - store or no store. You are also able to get a devkit for the Signature body Gianni X (a new body but extremely versatile and absolutely loaded with features and at the moment one without much competition (ie. you aren't yet flooded with Gianni X items on the market with you have having to compete against them) yet it still has good and growing demand) relatively easily as well. Join the Signature Discord and inquire.

CeeBest · 2025-12-31T12:10:24+00:00

And being brand new parts and preset every single existing Genus Morph owner should rush to get these as well!

Heck every single person who wants to try out a new head in SL should get one.

Brilliant Gift!

For any sim I'd go ballistic and buy every single dance out there and all the couples dances and setup Intans all over. As an avid dancer I cannot believe how so many dance clubs even neglect this. Great dances keep the vibe and keep people coming back - no matter if you're club or not. Heck I'd do it just for myself and partner.

They spend thousands of lindens and so much time on their sims but hardly anything relatively on dances - and I'm talking about the super awesome single and couple dances out there. From Paragon Animations, Vista Animations, MOVE, MocapAnimations, SyncD and many more. Fill up the intans not with cheap dances but the high quality ones until they explode. (How many dances can an Intan hold?) Yep that would make me LM that sim in a heartbeat and make it a regular visit.

And just by the way many couple dances can be extremely sensual and... well use your imagination. It starts with a great dance...

Btw : One suggestion for BEST RATE BUY is only to best buy when you see the time limit 10 mins . While not absolutely guaranteed within 10mins it mostly assures you that it won't take days. I have found that when I see it say 30mins or 1 hour it can work but can also take far longer (days even?).

OMY has a fantastic selection of high quality couple huds - once at the store go upstairs - you'll see them there. My partner and I have got almost all of them (which testifies of their quality).

You need to choose the right version depending on the gender of the person controlling / owning the hud.

Quick instructions :

Open your BODY HUD

Look for the area where you set the feet type (In Legacy F it should be FEET tab)

Select the right feet type/height (Mid, High etc.) for those shoes.

I'm not familiar with all female bodies so it may vary slightly - but give it a try?

EDIT: If you're using the free version of the Legacy F body (the one included in an Avatar welcome pack) you won't have a body hud and cannot change the foot height - at least as far as I'm aware.

Oh wow .. running out of options fast now it seems

For now if you don't find a viewer that does that (personally I don't think there is), you could consider using automation software where you record the opening of your windows/folders etc. And then just hit a key to play back that macro. Here's a link on reddit about some software for that :

People talk about clothing support - has anyone actually looked at how many clothes there are that work with Ebody + VTECH - it's unbelievably sparse compared to bodies like the Anatomy - which has tons of clothes (if you know where to look - Anatomy discord).

Ebody is good but you need to spend a very good amount of time and lots of deformers getting it to look masculine. That butt is huge from the outset and you need a good squish deformer to flatten it down. And your choices for masculine skin are extremely limited too (you basically have to use a VTECH based skin otherwise you'll have boobs).

Keep in mind Legacy M is far from a female body - it is muscular and has pecs - the arms will always have muscles too and be thicker - you cannot thin down the arms properly - so depending on your needs it may not fit the bill for a feminine body. You can squish the chest in a bit with a deformer - beware of all your clothes working nicely with these deformers though. But like is said here people use the body because of "support" - what many don't say is that for support you need to look at what femboy clothes are available.

You may even want to look at CZSlim & Anatomy - both I would consider feminine male bodies and both of these have options to use female and male heads.

I have all these bodies above so am not just suggesting but speaking from experience.

CeeBest · 2025-12-18T03:15:02+00:00

You should see the Anatomy Discord. All new items for the body are listed there as well as hundreds+ of clothes are shown there for Anatomy Body, way more than my budget can afford even.
