Hello ppl! :) This is my first newbie post.. I've managed so far to change my skin, clothes, accessories, makeup, everything, EXCEPT my ugly face... i had originally selected the cyborg model when signed in this game, i'm now a pretty different avatar completely, but i havent managed to change my ugly face... All around shops i see beautiful models posing with the clothes, and altough i've searched around, i cant figure how i can change that.. The skin tones only change my skin and "shades", but not my face..

Please help!

You can either use the sliders in 'edit appearance', or if you struggle to get the look you want with them, it's a 'shape' you need to buy and wear. Skins do only change the cosmetic side, not the shape.

It can take a little while in the beginning to get the look you want :)

What you need is a new shape. Lots of people sell them, and there are some free ones around too, though most of those aren't very nice - do a search for shapes and shop around until you find one that you like.

In the meantime, go to your library, at the bottom of your inventory, and open the Clothing tab. This is where you will find the default outfits that you can choose from when you start. Each outfit has a shape inside also. Try these out and you should find something better that will work until you find one of those beautiful shapes you see on the models.

Hey Vampyra, sounds like you're looking for a new "Shape" :) You can either make one yourself in appearance mode (there's a bit of explanation in the knowledge base here: http://secondlife.com/knowledgebase/article.php?id=110 ) or you can buy one. There's some boxes of free shapes at "The Free Dove", or you can search in Places for a shape store, there's lots of them in SL.

My suggestion is of course playing with the dials and settings until you get the look you want. As the shape is something you can make on your own for free and its yours. I have been complimented on mine numorous times. It just takes a little practice.

Could you still be wearing your old face? In Inventory at the top where it says search, type in "WORN" and it will show you all that you are wearing. Perhaps you are still wearing an old head shape. If so, just click on it in inventory and select take off.

Otherwise, it is is a shape issue and the old Av adjusted your head to its liking and you can change that in edit appearence.

I didn't know you could search for "worn" in you inventory it's solved a similar problem I had.
