Please word that I’m nonetheless taking a hiatus from running a blog; I solely wrote this blogpost as a result of it was essentially the most handy strategy to share a lot of detailed data, in a approach folks can simply refer again to. Don’t get me flawed, Primfeed is nice, however stuff tends to vanish from folks’s feeds in a short time, whereas a weblog is way more everlasting! Thanks.
It was one week in the past that Linden Lab by accident and prematurely launched a mysterious folder in everyone’s Second Life stock. The folder, titled Avatar Welcome Pack, contained what gave the impression to be a brand new line of starter avatars, meant for brand spanking new customers to Second Life. The folder was eliminated inside hours, however not earlier than many individuals (myself included!) had a possibility to mess around with these new starter avatars.
Effectively, as of Tuesday this week (April twenty second, 2025), they’re now formally again in everyone’s stock! Now, you would possibly keep in mind that it wasn’t all that way back that Linden Lab had unveiled a brand new line of starter avatars known as Senra, so what occurred?
Frankly, what occurred was that the Senra Blake and Jamie starter avatars have been a little bit of a failure. Effectively, okay, not a bit—a lot. They have been a bit odd-looking (significantly the heads), and so they caught out like a sore thumb on the grid. You would spot a Senra avatar from a mile away!
What’s worse, solely a only a few Second Life content material creators bothered to make and launch clothes to suit the Senra avatars. In different phrases, there was next-to-zero third-party help. I imply, I’m well-versed in SL vogue, and I feel I may depend the variety of SL shops that have been promoting something for Senra our bodies on two palms! Sure, it’s that unhealthy.
New Starter Avatars, That includes “Legacy Lite” Our bodies and “LeLutka Lite” Heads
So Linden Lab went again to the drafting board, and this time round, they reached out to established and well-known Second Life content material creators to accomplice with:
- LeLutka for female and male heads
- Legacy for female and male our bodies
- LeLapeau and Velour for female and male skins
- Wings, Stealthic, and Doux for hair
- Phedora for sneakers
- Addams, Mellow Elie, and Pare for feminine outfits
- Arcback, Chilly Ash, Gabriel and NoMercy for male outfits
Simply open your Stock window, search for and open the Library folder on the very backside, and duplicate and paste the brand new folder (known as Avatar Welcome Pack) from the Library folder into your Stock folder, and also you’re all set to go! (Please word that this system will NOT work with the person OMY animations that are used within the included female and male animation overrides, if you wish to reuse them in different AOs; you have to to repeat and paste these individually into your stock.) You an additionally watch Naria Panthar’s video on the very finish of this extraordinarily lengthy weblog postt!
There are three base male our bodies (one Asian, one Black, and one Caucasian) and three base feminine our bodies (one Asian, one Black, and one Caucasian). The boys have three curated starter seems, the place you’ll be able to simply add a folder to one of many base avatars, and also you’re executed! And it’s the identical for the ladies. The six base avatars and 6 starter seems are illustrated within the gallery on the very high of this blogpost, if you wish to scroll again and have a look (please click on on any image to see it in a bigger dimension, thanks!).
Along with the curated outfits, there are additionally separate folders labelled with every of the shop names, a few of which comprise variations of the clothes and sneakers. For instance, the black Gabriel swimsuit outfit for the lads additionally is available in a beige and a navy model. The boys’s Phedora Emerson sneakers within the males’s sweatpants outfit are available in both white or black. And there are three completely different kinds of sneakers for ladies from Phedora (sneakers, flats, and sandals), every of which is available in quite a lot of colors! Additionally, the hairstyles included are available in all kinds of sizes and colors.
Please word that the LeLutka heads and Legacy our bodies included within the new Avatar Welcome Pack will not be the fully-featured, full-price variations. These are stripped-down, bare-bones heads and our bodies that use Bakes on Mesh. What this implies is:
- There aren’t any HUDs that include these heads and our bodies. As a substitute of choosing alpha sections on a HUD to ensure your clothes matches correctly, you’ll have to use alphas that include your clothes (or discover a set of alphas, extra on that later).
- Whereas Bakes on Mesh hairbases, tattoos, and make-up will work (the heads are EvoX suitable), something which requires an applier HUD will NOT work on these our bodies. You may be utilizing Bakes on Mesh/BoM (previously known as “system layers”) for every little thing!
- The heads include one set of eyelashes, which you can’t change.
- The our bodies solely include one set of fingernails, that are bit too darkish for the Asian and Caucasian avatars and too gentle for the Black avatars.
- The our bodies come solely with one possibility for the ft: flat ft. No excessive heels!
- The skins on these new starter avatars have baked-on underwear.
Whereas some would possibly see these as severe limitations (and an excuse to shortly improve to both full-price LeLutka/Legacy or another manufacturers of head/physique), it’s really not as unhealthy because it sounds. Let’s take every of those limitations in flip.
Alphas: First, many distributors do embody alphas with the garments and sneakers they promote. Second, you will get free or cheap units of alphas each in-world and from the SL Market. Heck, you’ll be able to even reuse the alphas that got here with the Senra capsule wardrobe gadgets, that are already in your stock!
Bakes on Mesh: Whereas applier HUDs is not going to work, there is no such thing as a scarcity of BoM make-up on the market (many distributors embody each a HUD and BoM variations of their make-up in the identical bundle). The identical goes for hairbases. In actual fact, when you have picked up any of the free LeLutka head items from the previous 5 Decembers, you alredy have a full set of Bakes on Mesh EvoX hairbases and make-up! Whereas there is no such thing as a HUD for the eyes, you should utilize any Bakes on Mesh eyes for these heads (and there are many these on the market, too).
Eyelashes: Now that is most likely the largest drawback for some customers, since there aren’t any such factor as Bakes on Mesh eyelashes! However maybe some enterprising individual will provide you with a workaround. The default lashes on each the female and male avatars are completely good, nevertheless, so this may not be a difficulty for you in any respect.
Fingernails and toenails: You should utilize alphas to take away the included fingernails and toenails on these our bodies, and exchange them with Legacy-compatible nails you should purchase both in-world or from the Second Life Market. Now, whereas the notecard included with these Legacy Lite our bodies says:
Please word that your fingernails and toenails will be hidden utilizing the alpha layers included in your physique folder! Additionally word that these nails are solely suitable with VELOUR & LeLaPeau starter skins!
Effectively, I seemed in every single place, and whereas I may discover toenail alphas for a number of of the curated outfit seems for women and men, there was not a fingernail alpha wherever to be discovered! Nevertheless, you’re in luck, as a result of craftier folks than I’ve already created fingernail alphas for these new starter avatars, so you’ll be able to put on different fingernails with them! Go to Blushed Crations and purchase the bag sitting on the ground labelled Blush Legacy Lite Nails SOS Package (precise SLURL; see image under). It features a fingernail alpha, a feet-plus-toenails alpha, and three tones every of fingernails and toenails, plus a shine add-on on your nails!
You may also decide up a free equipment of fingernail and toenail alphas from Eventyra on the SL Market right here. Additionally, a terrific place to choose up a L$1 set of nails that match Legacy Lite palms is Cazimi, the place you will get a pleasant base set of mesh nails which are available in 5 muted colors (I’ve examined, and you may really put on the Cazimi nails with out utilizing a fingernail alpha, and so they cowl the default Legacy Lite fingernails completely). Right here’s your taxi to Cazimi.
Ft: When you can not put on excessive heels on these avatars, there are many choices on the market (together with plenty of free/low cost ones) for sneakers to suit Legacy flat ft! And you should utilize alphas if essential to alpha out the ft and the toenails if vital, so that you also needs to be capable of put on some high-heeled sneakers and boots, relying on the design. I’ve zero doubt that anyone will quickly provide you with a high-heeled ft add-on/workaround for these our bodies! It’s not right here but, although. Give it time.
Within the meantime, let me share with you a terrific place to choose up some flats! Saki Sneakers (precise SLURL) has two fatpacks of flats which match Lara/LarX, Reborn and Legacy ft for less than L$1 every! One set is leather-based and the second set is suede. When you don’t want to hitch the free retailer group to choose up these dollarbies, you would possibly wish to contemplate becoming a member of the H@S Vogue Designs group as a result of you will get some significantly vital reductions on a number of pairs of kitten-heel and mid-heel peak shoe fatpacks (solely L$10 with the group, L$50 with out). I’m dragging all my alts via right here to choose up some discount sneakers! You may also purchase the flats from the SL Market right here for L$1 every: each the leather-based flats fatpack, and the suede flats fatpack.
Skins: These our bodies are EvoX-compatible and Bakes on Mesh, so you should utilize any EvoX-compatible BoM pores and skin for the heads, and any BoM pores and skin for the our bodies (once more, applier HUDs for skins is not going to work).
I additionally needed to say that these our bodies reply simply as nicely to the top and physique sliders because the full-price, fully-featured variations of LeLutka heads and Legacy our bodies do, so you’ll be able to customise your new avatar’s form as a lot or as little as you want, from the beginning shapes included.
The place to Get Free Clothes and Sneakers for Legacy Our bodies (Together with These New Starter Avatars)
Now that I’ve talked about these “Legacy Lite” our bodies, I wish to share with you the place you will get free (or almost free) attire and footwear for these our bodies! I’ve scoured my constantly-updated checklist of fabulous vogue freebies in Second Life and picked out 17 places with essentially the most and/or the very best clothes for these new starter avatars!
However earlier than we begin, I wish to warning you: YOU WILL NEED TO READ THE VENDOR PANELS CAREFULLY! Normally, these places will provide some older items which don’t are available in a Legacy dimension, together with newer items which match Legacy our bodies. LOOK FOR THE WORD “LEGACY” OR THE LEGACY LOGO (A NAKED WOMEN’S TORSO). See the next photos for examples from my freebie-shopping travels (please click on on every image to see it in a bigger dimension).
YOU DO NOT WANT CLOTHING MARKED “THE MESH PROJECT’ OR TMP OR CLASSIC (see image one under; sneakers are an exception I’ll talk about in a minute). These gadgets have been created for a predecessor of the Legacy physique which the Meshbody model stupidly named “basic” (and it doesn’t assist that they then began calling Legacy, “Legacy Traditional” or “Traditional Legacy,” which some retailer distributors began to do as nicely. It’s complicated as fuck and aggravating as hell. JUST LOOK FOR THE WORD “LEGACY” OR THE NAKED TORSO LOGO, AS SHOWN IN THE EXAMPLE PICTURES ABOVE. Additionally, keep in mind that applier HUDs of any sort will not work on these Legacy Lite our bodies, so be sure that there’s a Bakes on Mesh/BoM model for any clothes which is utilized on to your Legacy mesh physique (see image two under).
In instances the place the seller panel comprises gadgets for each female and male Legacy our bodies, they’re normally marked somethng like “Legacy M” and “Legacy F” to tell apart between them. Additionally, any earrings or piercings rigged for LeLutka will work on these LeLutka Lite heads. Please see the next instance photos:
Now, sneakers created for the older Traditional/TMP/The Mesh Undertaking our bodies will nonetheless match Legacy ft (though you might need to regulate the foot dimension sliders in your new starter avatar to get them to suit correctly). Please have a look at the next photos that will help you determine whether or not or not the seller panel you might be clicking has an merchandise that can match these new starter avatars. Don’t neglect that you just will be unable to put on any excessive heels on these Legacy Lite our bodies! Please click on on the photographs under to see a bigger dimension, and skim the captions:
All proper, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way in which, right here’s my checklist of the 17 greatest locations to choose up free attire and footwear for these new starter avatars. Normally you’ll have to be a part of the shop group to choose up these freebies. In two instances (KC Couture and Scandalize), you do need to pay to hitch a gaggle, however in these two instances, you get a greal deal of bang on your buck (KC Couture prices L$1 to hitch for 4 pair of flat sneakers which works out to L$0.25 every, and for L$20, you’ll be able to decide up at least 83 clothes fatpacks on your feminine Legacy physique, which works out to L$0.25 per fatpack—a real discount!)
I additionally point out a couple of different shops in passing the place the group be a part of payment is greater than L$20 (e.g Past). When you have further Lindens to spend, then you definitely would possibly wish to contemplate becoming a member of these retailer teams to choose up much more gadgets for these new starter avatars.

Two Issues with the New Starter Avatars (And The best way to Repair the Second One)
UPDATE 5:46 p.m.: I needed to alert my readers to 2 potential issues with these new starter avatars.
The primary drawback is the extra severe, and one which each I and Blush Bravin have encountered, the place the chin depth sliders don’t appear to reply in any respect when utilizing a head with the Legacy Lite feminine physique. This drawback was confirmed by one other individual on the SL Boards, wesleytron, who posted the next at this time:
On 4/22/2025 at 5:35 AM, Blush Bravin mentioned:
One factor I seen whereas enjoying with the brand new head/physique form, the chin sliders don’t appear to reply when making an attempt to regulate the chin. **Edit: It’s not all of the chin sliders. The one I seen was the depth slider.
It’s each the CHIN DEPTH and CHIN ANGLE which might be affected – and in my checks to this point it’s on ALL mesh heads, not simply the Welcome Pack ones, and contains heads not made by Lelutka. The ‘nerfed’ form persists after each a reset of the skeleton and a relog.
There’s both a deformer within the Legacy physique affecting bones it has no enterprise affecting, or an error within the Legacy physique rigging. Both approach, that is one thing I feel Linden Lab ought to check out and ensure is fastened earlier than making any official announcement in regards to the pack.
Oops, too late! I might contemplate this a major problem, particularly because it appears to be taking place with any head you employ with the Legacy Lite feminine physique (I used to be utilizing the LAQ SupremeUHD head with it, and the chin obtained all of a sudden very deep, and I couldn’t use the chin depth slider in any respect! I obtained round it by adjusting among the different sliders a bit, however the avatar nonetheless has a really pronounced deep chin! And there ought to be ZERO cause why attaching a mesh physique messes with the bones of the top and face!
Right here’s my instance, to indicate the issue. The image on the left is my LAQ SupremeUHD head with the Senra physique. The image on the best is similar head, with the very same head and face physique sliders, however with the Legacy Lite feminine physique hooked up as a substitute of Senra. Discover how a lot deeper the chin will get—and what’s worse, is that you can’t regulate the chin depth sliders in any respect! They’re utterly disabled whenever you put on the Legacy Lite physique. (Additionally, now that I examine them side-by-side, the eyes look a bit wonky, too! Nevertheless, I can at the very least regulate these utilizing the LAQ HUD.)
I’ll proceed to mess around with this, and see if I get wherever, however I needed to report the issue to see if different peope moreover the three of us have seen it, too.
UPDATE April twenty fifth, 2025: Apparently, a LOT of different Second Life customers have seen this drawback, too! Once I posted about it on Primfeed, fellow freebie fashionista Aline Passiflora of FabFree replied:
Beachy [Piers of FabFree] and I each had this drawback with our normal Lelutka heads. I seemed very very similar to a Hapsburg. 😉
The ever-informative Google AI says:
The “Habsburg chin,” also called mandibular prognathism, is a particular facial function characterised by a outstanding, elongated decrease jaw, usually inflicting an underbite. This trait was significantly noticeable in members of the Home of Habsburg, a outstanding European royal household. Whereas not a dying sentence, it was linked to different well being problems and the “Habsburg jaw” has been linked to inbreeding inside the Habsburg household.
Oh pricey.
The excellent news is, I’ve been knowledgeable that the Meshbody Legacy folks have been knowledgeable about this drawback. One Second Life buddy instructed me by way of Discord, “I instructed anyone from Legacy about the issue with the heads and it appears they’re engaged on it…”
Let’s hope they provide you with a fast answer to this problem!
The second drawback is much less severe. It’s one which I’ve encountered with the Caucasian LeLutka Lite male head, which is known as Eon Lite. It’s a stunning head, as you’ll be able to see under:
The issue is that (in contrast to the feminine head I examined) he by no means blinks! And this lack of blinking is a part of an even bigger drawback with these heads: with out HUDs, additionally they haven’t any facial animations so that you can choose!
Now, on this case, there are answers. The most cost effective one is to teleport over to the [C} Animesh store, join their store group for only L$5, and pick up a free group gift of a Facial Bento AO:
Unpack and attach the Facial Bento AO HUD, and you have three buttons along the bottom of your screen, to animate any combination of your eyes, nose, and mouth. Here’s a 24-second video of what my male alt looks like with the mouth and eye animations turned on:
He blinks a bit like someone whose contact lenses are bothering him, but I will take it over an unblinking blank stare! There is also a blink attachment that I have successfully used in the past with Genus heads, called Katsumi’s Simple Blink, available on the SL Marketplace for L$49, which I have not yet purchased it and tried it on this alt.
UPDATE 6:47 p.m.: Katsumi’s Simple Blink for the win! I bought and tested it, and I like the blinking much better than the one on the [C] Facial Bento AO. Nevertheless, it solely works on the eyes, not the mouth, so I might need to make use of each HUDs collectively. Anyway, drawback solved!
Changing the Pores and skin on These Starter Avatars
UPDATE April twenty fifth, 2025: Okay, I made a decision to lastly begin unpacking and making an attempt on numerous articles of clothes which I had picked up for my feminine alt, and I’ve added some photos of outfits I created utilizing the freebies from Palomma Plaza, the freebie retailer at Ajuda SL Brasil, and the Girls’ Fres Store on the Serving to Haven Gateway.
In doing so, I found a few issues. First, you might be most likely going to have to exchange the skins which got here with these Legacy Lite our bodies with ones that do not have baked-on underwear. Most of the gadgets I attempted on simply didn’t look proper, as a result of the underwear was seen. (Additionally, take into account that many lengthy robes and pants have been designed to be worn with high-heeled sneakers, and don’t work with flat ft. Bear in mind, these our bodies can’t put on excessive heels!)
So, I needed so as to add a piece to this already-novel-length blogpost, about the place to search out free head and physique pores and skin on your LeLutka Lite/Legacy Lite avatar. A lot of this data I’m merely copying and pasting from earlier weblog posts, however a few of it’s new.
First, should you do resolve to improve simply the physique pores and skin, you have to to know that these are skins by Velour, a well known pores and skin maker in SL. If you happen to do resolve to buy physique pores and skin, however nonetheless wish to preserve the top pores and skin, you’re going to need to know the Velour pores and skin tone of the six skins these our bodies use. Irritatingly, the pores and skin tones are NOT named within the included skins; they simply have names! So I needed to teleport to the Velour Mall and decide up demos of Velour skins, after which try it out to see what matched. I needed to work to get this data to you, folks!!!
- Male A (Asian) pores and skin Koa – matches the Velour Ivory pores and skin tone
- Male B (Black) Isaac pores and skin – Velour Brown
- Male C (Caucasian) Saad pores and skin – Velour Medium
- Feminine A (Asian) Iseul pores and skin – Velour Icy
- Feminine B (Black) Jamila pores and skin – Velour Brownie
- Feminine C (Caucasian) Lupita pores and skin – Velour Sienna
If you happen to can not afford to purchase Velour physique skins, in Ryan’s All-in-One Information to Freebies in Second Life, I wrote:
In search of free physique pores and skin to go together with that free head pores and skin you picked up? Nuve affords free feminine physique pores and skin in 30 pores and skin tones (human and fantasy colors) right here (no group wanted), Amara Magnificence affords free feminine physique pores and skin and add-ons right here (no group wanted), Leronso affords free physique pores and skin right here (free group be a part of), and Boataom affords an older, however nonetheless completely serviceable, model of their physique pores and skin for six completely different manufacturers of mesh our bodies right here (look excessive up on the wall for the Group Reward signal; free group be a part of).
And don’t fear if the pores and skin tones of your head pores and skin don’t precisely match these free physique skins! You possibly can decide up free neck fades from Purple Magnificence, Velour, and Not Discovered, to match Moccino, Velour, and Not Discovered female and male head skins! Purple and Velour additionally provide free EvoX ear skins in case your head pores and skin is lacking ear pores and skin.
In my earlier blogpost, Second Life Steals, Offers, and Freebies: The place to Discover Free Physique Skins to Match LAQ Pores and skin Tones, I really talk about the above-mentioned free pores and skin choices in way more element, in addition to a few others. That weblog publish was about matching LAQ head skins, however the data applies to anyone who’s in search of free physique skins!
Now, should you can not afford expensive head skins, you can be blissful to know that there are a couple of shops which have free feminine EvoX-compatible head skins that can work for these new strarter avatars. Right here’s one other quote from Ryan’s All-in-One Information to Freebies in Second Life:
Each December, LeLutka normally affords two free EvoX Bento mesh heads (one male and one feminine), as a part of an enormous freebie giveaway with dozens of collaborating shops providing free items of skins, make-up, jewellery, and so forth. All collaborating shops set thier retailer group be a part of payment to free throughout this occasion, so that is the time to hitch that expensive pores and skin retailer group without cost! If you’re in search of free pores and skin retailer teams to hitch the remainder of the 12 months, the 5 retailer teams of Alexandrite, Boataom, Leronso, Purple Magnificence, and Tres Beau are free to hitch all year long, and all provide free group items of a number of fatpacks of ladies’s EvoX pores and skin.
All of those free pores and skin choices I’ve mentioned are for feminine avatars. Sadly, for males, free and cheap head and physique pores and skin choices are almost non-existent; you’re most likely going to need to shell out for name-brand head and physique skins. Brabos (SLURL) does have two free group items of male EvoX pores and skin fatpacks should you be a part of their retailer group for L$50. The Kris and Camden skins are available in pores and skin tones which match physique skins bought by Velour and Not Discovered.
Oh, I simply remembered that there’s one other place the place you’ll be able to decide up free, Velour-compatible EvoX female and male head skins! It’s LeLapeau. Be a part of the LeLapeau group without cost, teleport to their retailer, and there are eight reward packing containers on and below a few espresso tables (precise SLURL). Two of those items are EvoX skins for males, and the opposite six are EvoX skins for ladies (together with one in fantasy pores and skin tones).
(There’s additionally an Easter egg hunt occurring, the place you’ll be able to decide up some extra feminine head skins that match the Velour Chantilly pores and skin tone. You possibly can see one of many six eggs on this image, LOL! They’re not that tough to search out, however you’s greatest hurry!)
Lastly, I ought to point out that there’s a free set of three EvoX-compatible full-body pores and skin (i.e. head and physique pores and skin, plus ears) out there at Palomma Plaza from Alaskametro. Right here’s the precise SLURL (keep in mind that Palomma Plaza has a central spawn level, so you’ll have to use the Present on Map function in your SL viewer for this SLURL, after which comply with the purple arrow/beam to get to this precise location).
