The New Line of Starter Avatars, and The place to Discover Free and Cheap Clothes for Them (Get 521 Objects for Ladies for Solely L$21!) – Ryan Schultz

Please notice that I’m nonetheless taking a hiatus from running a blog; I solely wrote this blogpost as a result of it was essentially the most handy solution to share a lot of detailed info, in a manner folks can simply refer again to. Don’t get me fallacious, Primfeed is nice, however stuff tends to vanish from folks’s feeds in a short time, whereas a weblog is rather more everlasting! Thanks.

It was one week in the past that Linden Lab unintentionally and prematurely launched a mysterious folder in everyone’s Second Life stock. The folder, titled Avatar Welcome Pack, contained what seemed to be a brand new line of starter avatars, supposed for brand new customers to Second Life. The folder was eliminated inside hours, however not earlier than many individuals (myself included!) had a chance to mess around with these new starter avatars.

Nicely, as of Tuesday this week (April twenty second, 2025), they’re now formally again in everyone’s stock! Now, you may keep in mind that it wasn’t all that way back that Linden Lab had unveiled a brand new line of starter avatars known as Senra, so what occurred?

Frankly, what occurred was that the Senra Blake and Jamie starter avatars had been a little bit of a failure. They had been a bit odd-looking (notably the heads), and so they caught out like a sore thumb on the grid. You can spot a Senra avatar from a mile away!

What’s worse, solely a only a few Second Life content material creators bothered to make and launch clothes to suit the Senra avatars. In different phrases, there was next-to-zero third-party assist. I imply, I’m well-versed in SL trend, and I believe I might rely the variety of SL shops that had been promoting something for Senra our bodies on two palms! Sure, it’s that dangerous.

New Starter Avatars, That includes “Legacy Lite” Our bodies and “LeLutka Lite” Heads

So Linden Lab went again to the drafting board, and this time round, they reached out to established and well-known Second Life content material creators to accomplice with:

• LeLutka for female and male heads
• Legacy for female and male our bodies
• LeLapeau and Velour for female and male skins
• Wings, Stealthic, and Doux for hair
• Phedora for sneakers
• Addams, Mellow Elie, and Pare for feminine outfits
• Arcback, Chilly Ash, Gabriel and NoMercy for male outfits

Simply open your Stock window, search for and open the Library folder on the very backside, and replica and paste the brand new folder (known as Avatar Welcome Pack) from the Library folder into your Stock folder, and also you’re all set to go! (Please notice that this system will NOT work with the person OMY animations that are used within the included female and male animation overrides, if you wish to reuse them in different AOs; you will have to repeat and paste these individually into your stock.) You an additionally watch Naria Panthar’s video on the very finish of this extraordinarily lengthy weblog postt!

There are three base male our bodies (one Asian, one Black, and one Caucasian) and three base feminine our bodies (one Asian, one Black, and one Caucasian). The boys have three curated starter seems to be, the place you possibly can simply add a folder to one of many base avatars, and also you’re finished! And it’s the identical for the ladies. The six base avatars and 6 starter seems to be are illustrated within the gallery on the very prime of this blogpost, if you wish to scroll again and have a look (please click on on any image to see it in a bigger dimension, thanks!).

Along with the curated outfits, there are additionally separate folders labelled with every of the shop names, a few of which include variations of the clothes and sneakers. For instance, the black Gabriel go well with outfit for the boys additionally is available in a beige and a navy model. The boys’s Phedora Emerson sneakers within the males’s sweatpants outfit are available both white or black. And there are three completely different kinds of sneakers for ladies from Phedora (sneakers, flats, and sandals), every of which is available in a wide range of colors! Additionally, the hairstyles included are available all kinds of sizes and hues.

Please notice that the LeLutka heads and Legacy our bodies included within the new Avatar Welcome Pack aren’t the fully-featured, full-price variations. These are stripped-down, bare-bones heads and our bodies that use Bakes on Mesh. What this implies is:

• There aren’t any HUDs that include these heads and our bodies. As an alternative of choosing alpha sections on a HUD to ensure your clothes suits correctly, you’ll have to use alphas that include your clothes (or discover a set of alphas, extra on that later).
• Whereas Bakes on Mesh hairbases, tattoos, and make-up will work (the heads are EvoX appropriate), something which requires an applier HUD will NOT work on these our bodies. You’ll be utilizing Bakes on Mesh/BoM (previously known as “system layers”) for every little thing!
• The heads include one set of eyelashes, which you can’t change.
• The our bodies solely include one set of fingernails, that are bit too darkish for the Asian and Caucasian avatars and too gentle for the Black avatars.
• The our bodies come solely with one possibility for the toes: flat toes. No excessive heels!
• The skins on these new starter avatars have baked-on underwear.

Whereas some may see these as severe limitations (and an excuse to rapidly improve to both full-price LeLutka/Legacy or another manufacturers of head/physique), it’s truly not as dangerous because it sounds. Let’s take every of those limitations in flip.

Alphas: First, many distributors do embrace alphas with the garments and sneakers they promote. Second, you will get free or cheap units of alphas each in-world and from the SL Market. Heck, you possibly can even reuse the alphas that got here with the Senra capsule wardrobe objects, that are already in your stock!

Bakes on Mesh: Whereas applier HUDs is not going to work, there is no such thing as a scarcity of BoM make-up on the market (many distributors embrace each a HUD and BoM variations of their make-up in the identical bundle). The identical goes for hairbases. In actual fact, if in case you have picked up any of the free LeLutka head presents from the previous 5 Decembers, you alredy have a full set of Bakes on Mesh EvoX hairbases and make-up! Whereas there is no such thing as a HUD for the eyes, you need to use any Bakes on Mesh eyes for these heads (and there are many these on the market, too).

Eyelashes: Now that is most likely the most important drawback for some customers, since there aren’t any such factor as Bakes on Mesh eyelashes! However maybe some enterprising individual will provide you with a workaround. The default lashes on each the female and male avatars are completely good, nevertheless, so this won’t be a problem for you in any respect.

Fingernails and toenails: You should utilize alphas to take away the included fingernails and toenails on these our bodies, and exchange them with Legacy-compatible nails you should buy both in-world or from the Second Life Market. Now, whereas the notecard included with these Legacy Lite our bodies says:

Please notice that your fingernails and toenails could be hidden utilizing the alpha layers included in your physique folder! Additionally notice that these nails are solely appropriate with VELOUR & LeLaPeau starter skins!

Nicely, I appeared in every single place, and whereas I might discover toenail alphas for a number of of the curated outfit seems to be for women and men, there was not a fingernail alpha anyplace to be discovered! Nevertheless, you’re in luck, as a result of craftier folks than I’ve already created fingernail alphas for these new starter avatars, so you possibly can put on different fingernails with them! Go to Blushed Crations and purchase the bag sitting on the ground labelled Blush Legacy Lite Nails SOS Package (actual SLURL; see image under). It features a fingernail alpha, a feet-plus-toenails alpha, and three tones every of fingernails and toenails, plus a shine add-on on your nails!

You can too choose up a free package of fingernail and toenail alphas from Eventyra on the SL Market right here. Additionally, an amazing place to select up a L$1 set of nails that match Legacy Lite palms is Cazimi, the place you will get a pleasant base set of mesh nails which are available 5 muted colors (I’ve examined, and you’ll truly put on the Cazimi nails with out utilizing a fingernail alpha, and so they cowl the default Legacy Lite fingernails completely). Right here’s your taxi to Cazimi.

Toes: Whilst you can’t put on excessive heels on these avatars, there are many choices on the market (together with lots of free/low-cost ones) for sneakers to suit Legacy flat toes! And you need to use alphas if essential to alpha out the toes and the toenails if mandatory, so that you must also be capable of put on some high-heeled sneakers and boots, relying on the design. I’ve zero doubt that any individual will quickly provide you with a high-heeled toes add-on/workaround for these our bodies! It’s not right here but, although. Give it time.

Within the meantime, let me share with you an amazing place to select up some flats! Suki Sneakers (actual SLURL) has two fatpacks of flats which match Lara/LarX, Reborn and Legacy toes for under L$1 every! One set is leather-based and the second set is suede. Whilst you don’t want to affix the free retailer group to select up these dollarbies, you may need to think about becoming a member of the H@S Trend Designs group as a result of you will get some significantly important reductions on a number of pairs of kitten-heel and mid-heel top shoe fatpacks (solely L$10 with the group, L$50 with out). I’m dragging all my alts by way of right here to select up some discount sneakers! You can too purchase the flats from the SL Market right here for L$1 every: each the leather-based flats fatpack, and the suede flats fatpack.

Skins: These our bodies are EvoX-compatible and Bakes on Mesh, so you need to use any EvoX-compatible BoM pores and skin for the heads, and any BoM pores and skin for the our bodies (once more, applier HUDs for skins is not going to work).

I additionally needed to say that these our bodies reply simply as properly to the top and physique sliders because the full-price, fully-featured variations of LeLutka heads and Legacy our bodies do, so you possibly can customise your new avatar’s form as a lot or as little as you want, from the beginning shapes included.

The place to Get Free Clothes and Sneakers for Legacy Our bodies (Together with These New Starter Avatars)

Now that I’ve talked about these “Legacy Lite” our bodies, I need to share with you the place you will get free (or practically free) attire and footwear for these our bodies! I’ve scoured my constantly-updated record of fabulous trend freebies in Second Life and picked out 17 places with essentially the most and/or one of the best clothes for these new starter avatars!

However earlier than we begin, I need to warning you: YOU WILL NEED TO READ THE VENDOR PANELS CAREFULLY! Most often, these places will supply some older presents which don’t are available a Legacy dimension, together with newer presents which match Legacy our bodies. LOOK FOR THE WORD “LEGACY” OR THE LEGACY LOGO (A NAKED WOMEN’S TORSO). See the next photos for examples from my freebie-shopping travels (please click on on every image to see it in a bigger dimension).

YOU DO NOT WANT CLOTHING MARKED “THE MESH PROJECT’ OR TMP OR CLASSIC (see image one under; sneakers are an exception I’ll focus on in a minute). These objects had been created for a predecessor of the Legacy physique which the Meshbody model stupidly named “traditional” (and it doesn’t assist that they then began calling Legacy, “Legacy Basic” or “Basic Legacy,” which some retailer distributors began to do as properly. It’s complicated as fuck and aggravating as hell. JUST LOOK FOR THE WORD “LEGACY” OR THE NAKED TORSO LOGO, AS SHOWN IN THE EXAMPLE PICTURES ABOVE. Additionally, keep in mind that applier HUDs of any type will not work on these Legacy Lite our bodies, so make sure that that there’s a Bakes on Mesh/BoM model for any clothes which is utilized on to your Legacy mesh physique (see image two under).

In instances the place the seller panel comprises objects for each female and male Legacy our bodies, they’re often marked somethng like “Legacy M” and “Legacy F” to tell apart between them. Additionally, any earrings or piercings rigged for LeLutka will work on these LeLutka Lite heads. Please see the next instance photographs:

Now, sneakers created for the older Basic/TMP/The Mesh Undertaking our bodies will nonetheless match Legacy toes (though you may need to regulate the foot dimension sliders in your new starter avatar to get them to suit correctly). Please have a look at the next photos that will help you determine whether or not or not the seller panel you might be clicking has an merchandise that can match these new starter avatars. Don’t overlook that you simply won’t be able to put on any excessive heels on these Legacy Lite our bodies! Please click on on the images under to see a bigger dimension, and skim the captions:

All proper, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way in which, right here’s my record of the 17 finest locations to select up free attire and footwear for these new starter avatars. Most often you’ll have to be a part of the shop group to select up these freebies. In two instances (KC Couture and Scandalize), you do must pay to affix a bunch, however in these two instances, you get a greal deal of bang on your buck (KC Couture prices L$1 to affix for 4 pair of flat sneakers which works out to L$0.25 every, and for L$20, you possibly can choose up a minimum of 83 clothes fatpacks on your feminine Legacy physique, which works out to L$0.25 per fatpack—a real discount!)

I additionally point out a couple of different shops in passing the place the group be a part of payment is greater than L$20 (e.g Past). You probably have further Lindens to spend, then you definately may need to think about becoming a member of these retailer teams to select up much more objects for these new starter avatars.

I’ll go away you with Naria Panthar’s 40-minute Youtube livestream from yesterday, the place she demonstrates, discusses, and dissects these new starter avatars (I need to confess that I’ve been so busy compiling the following pointers and tips for my blogpost that haven’t even had a chance to observe this video but! However I do know that Naria at all times delivers together with her signature verve, wit, and occasional sarcasm.)

UPDATE 5:46 p.m.: I needed to alert my readers to 2 potential issues with these new starter avatars.

The primary drawback is the extra severe, and one which each I and Blush Bravin have encountered, the place the chin depth sliders don’t appear to reply in any respect when utilizing a head with the Legacy Lite feminine physique. This drawback was confirmed by one other individual on the SL Boards, wesleytron, who posted the next right now:

  On 4/22/2025 at 5:35 AM, Blush Bravin mentioned:

One factor I seen whereas taking part in with the brand new head/physique form, the chin sliders don’t appear to reply when making an attempt to regulate the chin. **Edit: It’s not all of the chin sliders. The one I seen was the depth slider.

It’s each the CHIN DEPTH and CHIN ANGLE which are affected – and in my checks to this point it’s on ALL mesh heads, not simply the Welcome Pack ones, and contains heads not made by Lelutka. The ‘nerfed’ form persists after each a reset of the skeleton and a relog.

There’s both a deformer within the Legacy physique affecting bones it has no enterprise affecting, or an error within the Legacy physique rigging. Both manner, that is one thing I believe Linden Lab ought to check out and ensure is mounted earlier than making any official announcement in regards to the pack.

Oops, too late! I’d think about this a major problem, particularly because it appears to be taking place with any head you employ with the Legacy Lite feminine physique (I used to be utilizing the LAQ SupremeUHD head with it, and the chin bought immediately very deep, and I couldn’t use the chin depth slider in any respect! I bought round it by adjusting a number of the different sliders a bit, however the avatar nonetheless has a really pronounced deep chin! And there needs to be ZERO motive why attaching a mesh physique messes with the bones of the top and face!

Right here’s my instance, to point out the issue. The image on the left is my LAQ SupremeUHD head with the Senra physique. The image on the proper is identical head, with the very same head and face physique sliders, however with the Legacy Lite feminine physique connected as an alternative of Senra. Discover how a lot deeper the chin will get—and what’s worse, is that you can’t regulate the chin depth sliders in any respect! They’re fully disabled while you put on the Legacy Lite physique. (Additionally, now that I evaluate them side-by-side, the eyes look a bit wonky, too! Nevertheless, I can a minimum of regulate these utilizing the LAQ HUD.)

I’ll proceed to mess around with this, and see if I get anyplace, however I needed to report the issue to see if different peope moreover the three of us have seen it, too.

The second drawback is much less severe, one which I’ve encountered with the Caucasian LeLutka Lite male head, which known as Eon Lite. It’s a beautiful head, as you possibly can see under:

The issue is that (in contrast to the feminine head I examined) he by no means blinks! And this lack of blinking is a part of an even bigger drawback with these heads: with out HUDs, additionally they don’t have any facial animations so that you can choose!

Now, on this case, there are answers. The most affordable one is to teleport over to the [C} Animesh store, join their store group for only L$5, and pick up a free group gift of a Facial Bento AO:

Unpack and attach the Facial Bento AO HUD, and you have three buttons along the bottom of your screen, to animate any combination of your eyes, nose, and mouth. Here’s a 24-second video of what my male alt looks like with the mouth and eye animations turned on:

He blinks a bit like someone whose contact lenses are bothering him, but I will take it over an unblinking blank stare! There is also a blink attachment that I have successfully used in the past with Genus heads, called Katsumi’s Simple Blink, available on the SL Marketplace for L$49, which I have not yet purchased it and tried it on this alt.

UPDATE 6:47 p.m.: Katsumi’s Simple Blink for the win! I bought and tested it, and I like the blinking much better than the one on the [C] Facial Bento AO. Nevertheless, it solely works on the eyes, not the mouth, so I may need to make use of each HUDs collectively. Anyway, drawback solved!

A particular shout-out and thanks to Dreamer Pixelmaid, who alerted me to the Yuri dollarbie flats on the Suki Retailer. Thanks, Dreamer!
