HOME / BASIC HELP / SAVING YOUR AVATAR

SAVE YOUR LOOK

Have you created the perfect look with your avatar? (Read more on how to personalize your look here). Don't forget to save the changes you made!

First, right-click on yourself and from the pie menu select Appearance or choose Appearance from the Edit Menu. Then, look to the bottom of the Appearance window, where you have several options for saving your avatar:

  • Make Outfit - Brings up a new window containing an explanation of what you can do here. To save your complete outfit, make sure there's a checkbox next to all the items you want included, type a folder name, then click the Save button. You can find your new outfit in the Clothing folder of your Inventory."
  • The "Rename Clothing To Folder Name" checkbox is useful if you're making an outfit with matching items you want renamed automatically. For instance, a skirt previously called "work in progress" becomes "Formal Dress Ensemble Skirt" if the folder name is "Formal Dress Ensemble". Since non-copyable items obviously can't be duplicated, they'll just be moved to the new folder after the Make Outfit process.
  • Save All - One-click access to save all the changes you've made. This won't create additional copies; it just updates everything you've done since opening the Appearance window so your alterations are stored.
  • Close- When you're done saving, click this to make the Appearance window go away. You're now free to walk the grid again, comfortable being yourself!

While avatar is used in the singular sense as it applies to you as an individual, if you make additional outfit folders in inventory, each can be considered as a unique avatar. Some Residents collect avatars for fun and self-expression: you may come across someone who's humanoid one day, a robot the next, and an anthropomorphic bunny the day after that!

To easily wear everything in a folder and effectively change avatars, just drag it from inventory atop yourself, and watch as you morph from one form to another in the space of a few seconds! Changing clothes, let alone bodies, was never this easy before!
