✨ Feature Requests

Currently, we can attach a maximum of 38 attachments, but since objects attached to the "HUD" position are also counted in the total, it's sometimes impossible to wear more. This phenomenon is particularly noticeable for furry users. After equipping the necessary furry parts, there are often only 5-6 attachment slots left, along with some commonly used HUD adjustments for body or other parts, leaving almost only 1-2 slots, or even none, for clothing. I hope there can be a separate limit on the number of objects attached to the HUD position, independent of the attachment count.

So., many years ago when I played Runescape (long long time ago) at some point there were many people abusing the game, or griefing people like I often encounter in Second Life as well. Both in random places, as well as new residents landing spots and the firestorm help sims. At a certain point they introduced Player Mods, in order to assist the Jagex employees to act faster on this kind of behavior, those player mods had limited powers compared to the company employees, but could still do some direct action to solve issues with griefers. I imagine that perhaps this would be interesting for SL as well, as I come past griefers almost daily at random places, and it seems to take a long time for LindenLabs to track/react to all abuse reports submitted by dozen of people, sometimes 40 times about the same griefer. A Player Moderator (PM) would be able to handle this faster, and with a PM abuse status / temp. ban it would be easier for LindenLabs to deal with this kind of behavior faster? (not sure what category this goes too... so I picked avatars)

I would like to get more avatar followers for Premium and Premium Plus members. That would be really an advantage, because I always packed my avatar full of stuff!

I suggest an enhancement to the Bakes on Mesh (BOM) system by introducing an opacity option for BOM layers. As a designer, the current limitations of BOM force us to add additional mesh layers, particularly for makeup applications. This increases mesh complexity and necessitates the use of complex HUDs. Enabling opacity control on BOM layers could eliminate the need for extra mesh layers, thus optimizing mesh complexity and enhancing overall performance. Additionally, this would allow for greater flexibility and creativity, as BOM makeup layers wouldn’t be limited to one or two mesh layers (depending on the number of mesh layers created by a designer). With the recent introduction of 2k BOM textures, the capability to adjust blend modes directly on BOM layers would be highly beneficial for both designers and users. It would offer more customization options and improve the user experience. It would positively impact the creative community and contribute to a more streamlined and efficient design process.

How about this: on the page to offer partnership to someone ( https://secondlife.com/my/partners.php ) let's add an option to offer to share your last name with your partner. If your partner accepts the proposal, their last name will be replaced with the last name of the offering partner. The partner having their last name replaced will keep this new last name as long as they remain partnered and will have their last name fall back to their previous last name if and when unpartnered. Using this option will add extra cost to the partner offer, about the same as what is paid to change last our own last name. Will be paid by the offering partner. At any time, any partner can decide to break the partnership. The one who does the break will have to pay as much for having their previous last name back or they can select an cheaper option to break the partnership and revert back to a regular Resident last name.

(Full disclosure, first feature request I have done) Facelights and other worn lights are a contentious topic, loved by some, hated by others. We do have the ability to not render worn lights, this solves the problem for you, but not for others, especially photographers trying to capture a scene, or venue hosts who want their guests to experience the atmosphere as intended. There are places where builders have taken great care to ensure a lovely ambiance, until somebody waltzes in with what often can be pretty obnoxiously bright worn lights. And I guess extra light sources could make slower machines work even harder rendering what's on the screen, which might explain why some people complain about FPS drops at crowded events. Today this issue has to be handled through either asking them to manually check each of their attachments for something with 'light' in the name, or looking for them visually. Getting people to abide by rules set for a venue has a tendency to often end up in displeasure for the "offenders" and arguing, while with a scripted function, there's nobody to argue with. It's just automated venue management that could maintain carefully crafted atmospheres without confrontation. This could even help avatars who forgot they left their facelight on, with venues giving them a gentle automated reminder rather than public callouts in chat. I'm no coder, so exactly how is way beyond me, but could it be possible to make llGetAgentInfo() provide this info? sort of like it does today for scripts and attachments? This is stuff that's already implemented and accepted by the users, so I guess it shouldn't be problematic "politically"? All one would really need is to be able to know if an attachment is a light source and get the name in return, if one would want to be fancy with it, one could also get info such as the intensity and/or radius of the light source as well, to accomodate an acceptable level of personal lights. I have no idea how this would be done without breaking existing stuff, I am just putting the idea out there as something that could make SL a better place 😊

Second Life has always been about resident creativity, but we’re missing a chance to connect with the wider culture. Other platforms are pulling in celebrity designers and brands, and it’s working. It brings press, new users, and energy. What if SL set up an “Icon Series” of its own? Give professional designers a clear path in, pair them with experienced SL creators to handle the technical side, and spotlight their work with proper events and promotion. Add royalties and limited‑edition drops so it’s worth their time, and make sure the collaborations get visibility outside SL too. This would turn SL into more than a niche sandbox, it would be a stage where fashion, art, and entertainment meet. Residents get prestige experiences, and designers get a new digital frontier.

38 attachments is not enough these days! I am constantly having to remove this to add that. Avatars are more evolved nowadays than they were in 2008. We wear multiple HUDs, mesh bodies' heads, ears, teeth, eyes, accessories, spankers, AOs, Dance HUDs, naughty bits.. the list goes on. Why limit us to just 38 attachments when we are not limited to how many system layers we can wear?

Currently when someone is wearing an avatar with a deformed skeleton and they change to another avatar their skeleton will be borked. Reset skeleton currently only fixes the visuals for the person themself and others also will need to reset skeleton to fix their view of the person. Relogging seems to be the only current way to reset the skeleton fully. If a full reset skeleton were possible via lsl it would make it super easy (via HUDs or scripting inside the avatars) for people to reset their own skeleton fully so that they are viewed correctly by all.
