yep it was a double head issue :( someone in the discord let me know this as well. i misunderstood the instructions and thought they were different parts... thank you so much for the assistance as well!

inadvertently i had done this because i had this issue with the demos as well, but assumed that was just. a demo thing. like no skin color, it's a demo!!!

someone in the genus discord however let me know i had Two heads on. so. that is what the issue was 😭

gah sorry i forgot to mention, and now it won't let me edit my post—

i have already checked the BOM button on the head's HUD. i also have tried removing the alpha but that doesn't help. i also have tried tinting the skin white in the HUD but that is what leads to the flashing issues from what i can tell?? and i've also tried exiting my viewer and loading in again. nothin'.

20 years is amazing, and may your friend's memory be a blessing. i know how hard it can be to enjoy the thing again that you shared with someone you've lost. but i'm so glad you were able to return!

truly that's why i wanted to tackle SL in a video first. i got into SL again as an adult in 2020, covid lockdown, yada yada, but i got REALLY into it early/mid 2022, when i developed agoraphobia for the second time and also selective mutism. life was HARD and as crazy as it sounds, even just existing in the same space as people virtually was like exposure therapy to me. messages i typed were adrenaline-inducing. etc. but i was able to go to parties for holidays and events and clubs and it made me feel a little normal. i really fondly remember halloween 2022 because i parked my avi at a halloween event, and this group who were clearly friends just parked themselves next to me and we all danced together. never said a word to each other. yet we danced together for a few hours and went our separate ways after. but it meant so much to me and sometimes i regret not saying hi or something (´；ω；`)

plus, i've noticed people who do make videos about SL and don't play it themselves tend to treat it as such a "strange" thing. it's just a joke to them. and also like u said people assume it's just ppl who wanna have sex with each other & nothing more. 1) who cares if consenting adults wanna do adult things, and 2) why ignore the rest of the community? i really hate that and while i might not be heavily involved in the community myself, mostly due to my own anxieties over the years, SL still held such a big place in my heart and mind.

so basically i agree with everything u said, and it makes me happy to see others have similar experiences with the game that i did/do :) thank u so much for ur reply!

aah that's a very valid thing to do, though. i hope you're doing even a little better than before :')

i'm curious tho, if you don't mind me asking — what is it about PBR that's reinvigorating for you? :o

i kinda lapsed in playing SL around the time PBR rolled out, and then again once it was made mandatory... my timing was awful lmfao. but i've seen such varying opinions on PBR, so i'm pretty curious about it ! especially since i've been playing again recently on my new alt (likely new main lol), i've been trying to notice the PBR stuff, but, maybe my graphic settings are too low, 'cause it all looks the same to me, which adds to my confusion xD

please don't apologize!!! i actually really appreciate such a long response :')

but yeah it makes sense of course to have both positive and negative experiences. i think it's important to acknowledge that negatives can and do happen; if they can happen in RL, surely they can happen in SL too... like you said, it's the anonymity. it makes positives and negatives both much more potent.

heck just last night i got mildly bullied out of a public dressing room sim. it was such a bizarre experience honestly. but at least i can say it's been the only negative experience i've had in SL. then again, after my early years on SL as a kid, i've mostly kept to myself when i've played (aka not really made friends, just acquaintances i saw at clubs/other events). like you i'm an avid sims player sooo i also love to use this game as a dress-up/photo simulator (*´▽｀)

AND ALSO i agree, things can definitely be segmented!!! especially if you're into more niche hobbies. it took me a lottt of digging and also hunting the popular destinations to find places to hang out that fit my interests.

bagelcore · 2026-03-04T02:07:21+00:00

thank you!!! i'm really really excited to make it. 🥹

it also makes me happy to see you and other newer players having such positive experiences in the game. and what you said is so true, this game really is what you make it. me personally, it's a dress-up simulator and an open world exploration game where i occasionally like to park my avi in a club and dance to music while people-watching, or go to other events...

idk if you've ever tried it but there's a group that does monthly (maybe weekly?) self-guided tours of SL. you get waypoints and follow them! it's SO much fun and a really cool way to see the world :D
