So if the new starter avatar is a "basic" Legacy body with no HUD, but is BOM, what benefit does the paid body actually have? Heels for women? Nail polish? You cannot tell me any Legacy user actually saves appliers in their bonk-ass HUD and finds that useful.

I mean even alphas are BOM these days so...

I guess you can’t manually alpha the basic body? does it only have flat feet??

I have no idea lol but you change the foot height in the HUD

right. if it has only flat feet i could see that as being a huge reason many would want to upgrade, as i don’t often see female avatars in flat shoes

BoM, so alphas should work. feet's the big one.

New starter avatar? What did I miss?

Freyja Accidental new library avatars that aren't released publicly yet. The library will have "basic" content of lelutka heads, legacy mesh bodies, velour/lapeau skins, and some well known creators starter outfits.

Freyja : it leaked a lil bit early, it's hidden again, but there is new library stuff that will be added soon. stripped down legacy bodies for men and women (it's the basic legacy body, but no hud and extra bullshit geometry watermarking to make it even laggier), a few stripped down lelutka heads for men and women, addams clothes, etc

Ah, thanks Alaska & Allegory

just wear closed in shoes and alpha out the feet, there are plenty of shoes/boots options that way especially with socks etc

we can make nailpolish (and alphas) for it- tracking down the exact part of the uv will be a little bit of work, but we can put fingernails and toenails on jacket and pants (to ensure they cover all gutter in BoM clothing). fingernails are in between front and back torso. toenails are in between the legs on the lower half of the uv. both are in a

vertical row, big toe/thumb at the top and going across down to the pinky/little finger at the bottom, as if it's the right hand/foot (the nail bed is to the left, the nail tip is to the right). even easier to alpha out, just in those general areas in between used uv.

(they are pretty large sections, too- so once it's down closer than my bullshit eyeballing it out of curiosity, a reasonably amount of detail can be applied to those nails)

Thanks Allegory ! I'll look into it. Right now my interest in supplying yet more variations/refits on nail polish is exactly zero. LOL.

i'll probably lose interest before i actually DO anything about it, hahaha. if i get the (real) right part of the UV nailed down before i do, i'll share it though.

soooo hahahaha the nails are located in SLIGHTLY different places on male and female bodies. enough to make them not really work for both. because of course they are. so....yeah. you do not want to make nails for them.
