The new Avatar Welcome Pack is a huge win. Seeing brands like LeLutka and Legacy to give new users a high-quality mesh head and body is a game-changer. It’s a massive upgrade that helps new residents feel like they belong right away. That said, I think we’re missing the aesthetic diversity of the old starter avatars. The old library had a "vibe" for everyone. Whether you were into Gothic, Fantasy, Urban, Non-Human styles. It allowed people to immediately pick an identity they actually identified with. While the new avatars look amazing, they are currently very "standard". I believe it would be much more motivating for new players if they could choose between styles that let them define who they want to be in Second Life from day one. The tech is great; we just need to bring back that variety so players can find "themselves" the moment they log in.

Hello Linden Lab Team, I’d like to suggest an improvement that would provide a significant quality-of-life benefit for many users, especially those who frequently change outfits and use wardrobe tools. Problem: The ordering of BoM tattoos (and classic wearable layers in general) can be adjusted in the Appearance/Outfit window under Details (wrench/key icon). However, the layer ordering is currently only saved within the specific outfit that was stored. This means: even if a user wears the exact same set of attachments and the same BoM tattoos, the ordering can still be wrong when the outfit is worn through external wardrobe tools (e.g. CTS Wardrobe or similar systems), or when parts are rebuilt from inventory. As a result, users often have to manually fix tattoo ordering again and again. Suggestion: Please add a way to save BoM tattoo/layer ordering as a standalone preset, similar to how Shapes are saved as separate inventory items. For example: A new inventory asset type such as “Layer Order Preset” This preset could then be included when saving an outfit, and also manually applied when needed Benefits: Much faster outfit switching for users with complex BoM setups Less frustration and fewer manual corrections Better compatibility with wardrobe/dressing tools that many residents rely on Improves usability for roleplay, creators, and users with multiple style variations This would make BoM-based styling more reliable and bring it closer to the workflow quality we already have with Shapes. Thank you for considering the suggestion!

The bento update didn't add new shaping sliders we should at least get tail shaping sliders to make the tail longer/shorter or thicker/thinner.

Currently, you can only change your nickname/display name once a week. What if instead you could change it as many times as you want by paying a small Linden fee, rather than having to wait 7 days each time? I’m pretty sure thousands of residents would love this option. It gives people more flexibility and also creates an optional revenue stream a win-win.

I am proposing the ability to rig a unrigged object's origin to one or more bones (Up to 4, like mesh), alternatively, just between specific attachment points rather than bones. This would work like Blender's "Armature constraint" (Not to be confused with the modifier!) or Unity's "Parent Constraint", where it isn't performing vertex weighting on the entire mesh, rather only the origin point. This would allow for example, wearing a military light on a uniform pocket, if the pocket isn't fully weighted to the spine or chest. Another example would be a collar on a avatar that has a longer neck, such as a animal. Collars on quadruped avatars are notoriously difficult to get working properly (often appearing as floating or clipping, depending on how the head is rotated), and often require a specialized rigged mesh. I know that some collars on humans are not "worn" properly either, if the collar isn't worn exactly at <0,0,0> on the neck. The way I could see this working is by having a "Weights" option in the feature tab, and it opening a sub floater that allows specifying of up to 4 bones and their weight to that bone.

I would the ability to use my baked avatar textures on animesh attachments. I can't see a downside to enabling this, and animesh can simply inherit the bake of the avatar it's attached to. When placed inworld rather than attached, it would appear the same as a BOM body or body part with the BOM placeholder textures.

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.

Please bring back OwO and UwU back for April Fools!!!

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?

Make it possible to click an avatar/animesh, select "Sit on ..." and get a list of skeleton targets that the avatar/animesh has enabled to be sat on. This would make the sitting avatar follow the skeleton as if they were an attachment. Needs permissions handling for avatars. The avatar/animesh can define a (limited?) number of skeleton targets like "Head", "Spine", etc. by script with an offset and rotation for each.
