Library Legacy Body Makeover for Free
Well ALMOST completely free :D.
A newish thread on the forums about styling your Legacy body for 150 lindens sent me on an adventure this afternoon. I am guessing it will linger into tomorrow as the sun is on its way toward dusk.
I haven't done a "free avatar" post in a long while and with the very nice new items to be found in the LIBRARY of the viewer it seemed like a good project. My plan is to keep it simple and try to make this a lasting post so no event gifts and the like -- just items that will likely remain available for awhile.
This is "me" more or less. I used my own shape and didn't fiddle as I will never be using this gal except maybe for a rerun next year. Shown on the right is all I am wearing. I could NOT get the system eyes to work for me at all even after a relog, but I already knew they were mightily ugly from my Legacy guy post -- so first step.
Off to the Marketplace for free eyes.
These have been around for well over a decade and were already in my inventory. There are three versions of eyes - all London Fog to choose from.
My journey continued -- oh so many places. This project turned out to be more difficult than I expected. On the plus side my finished outfit is "me" so extra points for that. And I will be keeping some things as they all had LaraX versions (I think anyway). Since both pants and top were rigged well there were NO alphas needed. Woot on that.
I found some nice skins at Paloma Plaza but the library Legacy body has the toenail painted on the main texture it seems so if you want to wear a bikini you will need (for now) to live with odd looking nails, wear solid shoes (flats only) or purchase some add-on nails (a good thing to add the the Library offerings). I ended up using the library body skin and the no eyebrow head tattoo from Paloma as I am VERY picky about eyebrows. There are some good hairs at Paloma Plaza also but most of the clothing wasn't to my taste (sadly).
Quite a few items were found on the Market including some wearable demos. And Coco Designs filled out the look with a super cute top and some sandals.
All told I spent 2 linden for the VERY nice leggings pack with full color hud and earrings also with color hud.
My look and links to the items used BELOW.
PS. The built in bra on the skin used really needs those "wings" taken off. You can see them just a bit under my top and they aren't covering anything "sexy" at all. So a plain bandeau strapless bra would do the job much better and be more useful. There are plenty of good points to this body though and it is a big step up from what we have had for free in the past.
EDIT: For a nail "fix" in order to use your favorite skins please see yesterday's post.
