I decided that I wanted a custom manicure, but was disappointed to discover that the UV mapping for the fingernails and toenails only allowed for a single color (or texture) to be applied. So. . . I remapped the UVs and now each nail can be unique. I've only made one "polish" so far but have saved all of my working files (blender, photoshop, etc) out on GitHub if anyone else wants to play around with it or make their own. I didn't modify the meshes at all, but since I changed the UVMapping for the nails, I rigged and re-exported those as .dae files that will work with the universal texture. The fingernail texture is on Aux1, and the toenail texture is on Aux2. I also put them in a box in the welcome area of my region.

My GitHub: https://github.com/Araminta/araminta.github.io

In order to make things easier, I've started making off-site lists with shopping destinations which I can update when necessary.

So far, I have a list of shops that offer legal mesh clothes either for the Ruth2 family or for the system body (Damien Fate, Clutterfly) which bodies from the Ruth2 family may be able to wear nonetheless.

Here it is: https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/wiki/jupiter_rowland/Jupiter(27)s(20)Ruth2(20)and(20)Roth2(20)Wiki/Mesh(20)clothes(20)for(20)Ruth2

Since it's part of a personal wiki, I can update the list if something should change, or if I should stumble upon new shops.

Another list which I want to make but haven't started yet will contain shops that offer layer clothes that could be useful for BoM bodies, of which there are several now, especially in the Ruth2 family.

I'll also link all lists on the group pages to make them easier to find.

Unexpected find at All Free Shopping Spree (https://opensimworld.com/hop/89839):

At about 186,261,22, in the middle of a hodgepodge of Athena and HG items that aren't even shoes, hangs this box. It's labelled "chaussures ruth free boxed" and contains a pair of high-heeled sandals.

Which, as the name indicates, are rigged for Ruth2. Most likely the only box of clothing on this entire sim that is. They also have to be one of only two pairs of high-heeled Ruth2 sandals; the other one is Taarna Welles' reBoot Luella Mytho Sandals High set. She also made a set of medium-height Mytho sandals, by the way.

Creator of these sandals is Robin of Wood from HGluv, old home of LuvMyBod. So I dare say they're safe.

By the way, the box is full-perm and can be picked up, just in case you're working on a Ruth2 fashion store.

My 2022 Christmas gift for the community, at least for the Ruth2 v4 users:

Nail polish for Ruth2 v4.

Two boxes with BoM nail polish in 31 colours altogether. One box contains the 22 original colours from the Ruth 2.0 nail polish applier plus one bonus colour. The other one contains the 8 nail polish colours from the Ruth2 v4 HUD, but now covering the whole nail. Both sets come with a Readme notecard with instructions.

They're currently only available in the Westend (https://opensimworld.com/hop/80119) at my R2 shop (at 44/67/22, opposite the Statue of Liberty), but I've passed copies to Ai Austin, and I expect it to appear on the official R2 sim soon. I'll also roll them out to other sims offering Ruth2 v4.

Both boxes are full-perm (or should be; drop me a note if they aren't) and licensed under Creative Commons CC0. You can copy the boxes or buy the content.

Have you ever stood in front of those Ruth2 v4 or Roth2 v2 boxed and wondered which one of them you actually need? Well, the labels on these boxes aren't as self-explanatory as they try to be. So before you go home with boxes that you don't even need, I'd like to help you with shopping guides.

The first one is for guys and therefore for Roth2 v2.

So the confusion starts with the bodies themselves. There seem to be two of them, one with a red "BoM" label, one with a blue "0.8.2.1" label. What's up with these?

The "BoM" body is the regular, fully-featured one. The one labeled "0.8.2.1" is the same body with the same BoM and Bento capabilities, but with reduced scripts in order to be compatible with OpenSim back to version 0.8.2.1; the one labeled "BoM" is only guaranteed to work under OpenSim 0.9.1 and newer.

This is also why the "BoM" body comes with a three-page HUD whereas the "0.8.2.1" body doesn't, and it can't be controlled via the regular body's HUD. This means no alpha HUD (which is near-useless and unnecessary in BoM mode anyway), no hand controls and no turning BoM off or changing the alpha mode. On the plus side, it comes with its own pair of Ferd Frederix elf ears.

Otherwise, the box contents are identical. You get the body, BoM-capable mesh eyeballs, one classic/BoM skin, one pair of classic/BoM eyes, one bald hairbase, one shape and a pair of dark grey layer underwear that can be changed in shape. It's basically all you need to start as the body already comes with a head, but you'll probably want more.

Which brings us to the grey boxes with the "R" on them.

The Extras box is the most important one for end users, for it may contain the "more" you want. First of all, it contains the body in various "chunk sizes": the whole body without the head, only the body, head, head with neck extension, hands and feet. Next, we have an alternative shape, namely that from Roth2 v1, previously known as Roth 2.0 RC#1. There are also a whole of eleven skins including a blank one and the one that comes with the bodies, the underwear top as a jacket, Ferd Frederix' elf ears, unisex biker hair in two colours and four different alpha layers for hiding parts of the body (you'll need these as soon as you want to turn BoM off).

The Extras box is definitely worth looking at; whether what you'll find is useful for you is up to you.

The Skins box contains the very same skins you'll find in the Extras box. However, it doesn't only contain the wearable skins for BoM. It also contains five textures per skin, two of which are meant as thumbnails for the HUD. If you've found one of the skins from the Extras box to your liking, these textures make it possible to use that skin with BoM turned off by adding it to your HUD (unless that particular skin is already on the HUD).

The other two boxes are rather special. The Resources box has the Skins box already included. On top of that, it contains the box art, the textures used on the HUD, the Ada Radius eyes that you can select on the HUD, but as wearable classic eyes (one of the reasons to get the box unless you've found better eyes elsewhere), and an underwear box that contains a pair of briefs not found in any of the previously mentioned boxes (the other reason to get this box).

The Mesh Uploads box is of no use for end users. It may be interesting for those who want to make clothes or other accessories, for it contains the various raw and unscripted meshes. Even then, you'll probably also want to take a look at the Github repository as well.

That said, if you really want to get the best out of Roth2 v2, look for third-party content. Not only will you need flexi or mesh hair since Roth2 v2 only comes with one hairstyle which is even only available in the Extras box, but you're likely to find much better-looking skins elsewhere. Don't worry, Roth2 v2 is textured in such a way that classic skins made for "duck feet" should work perfectly well on it.

Places to go for accessories for Roth2 v2 include:
Klamotto (https://opensimworld.com/hop/78282; caution, this place doesn't support BoM, so I suggest you go there first and take everything with you that you think you may need, including make-up from Deva Moda in case you consider going androgynous at some point)
Astralia ShoppingCity (https://opensimworld.com/hop/85405)
La Tortuga (https://opensimworld.com/hop/76639; there's much more to find for women than for men, but it offers the only pair of swim trunks that works on Roth2 v2 if you absolutely insist in having a bulge, and it saves you a trip to an old Linda Kellie mall because it also offers Linda's pre-Clutterfly stuff in boxes)

And if you still need the body and the grey boxes, there are various places where to get them, for example:
Shopping Village (https://opensimworld.com/hop/86910)

I have another shopping destination for all you Ruth2 v4s who like Clutterfly and Damien Fate: Marianna Monentes' Catena di isole (https://opensimworld.com/hop/88656).

Just recently, Marianna herself opened a shop named Classic Closet that offers textured Damien Fate clothes along with other things, now even including original mesh skirts by Mari.

Around the corner, there's 100 Dresses by Robin Ridley. She mostly textures Clutterfly, and judging by the name, there's a whole lot more to come than what she already has.

Of course, while you're on the grid, I also recommend you to take a closer look at Monentes Jewelry (https://opensimworld.com/hop/84210) where even guys can find something.

A store for Ruth outfits i have put together using Linda Kellie, Damien Fate, Fleep grid layers and some Remake shoes. During war time and the depression there was a push for people to make do with what they had, reuse it or remake it. This store is based on that philosophy and is my Os version. Some items are original form and others i have textured myself and so I have called the store MAKE DO AND MEND!

Klarabella Karamell is at it again. And still dissatisfied with the skirts available on the Hypergrid. So she's making new ones.

Juno is combining them with Klara's own skirt textures. Here she is testing one in combination with a Damien Fate/Klarabella Karamell jacket, a Beth Ghostraven top, Masaki Shinomiya tights, LyAvain Swansong boots and a Neo Cortex pearl necklace.

...even if they didn't wear anything that has "Athena" written on it. Especially then. And they'd still look good. It just takes a bit of searching and/or asking the right people.

(Dress by Christine LaRossa, tights by Masaki Shinomiya/Shinobar Martinek, boots by Aether Dharmapala.)

Autumn is colourful, but it's also chilly. You can't (or shouldn't) bare as much skin as you still could in summer. On the other hand, there are nice things that you can wear now such as these beautiful classic layer tights by Morgaine Alter (12th House Designs) with autumn leaf print. Places where you can find them include the mixed freebie stores at Wright Plaza (https://opensimworld.com/hop/75040) and Sunny Paradise Mall (https://opensimworld.com/hop/76916; don't worry, it's online).

Juno is wearing them with a knit sweater/miniskirt combination from Shinobar Annex (https://opensimworld.com/hop/82007), a necklace by Taarna Welles which is part of the same knit dress/ensemble box and boots by Klarabella Karamell, available at Bella Klara (https://opensimworld.com/hop/81258).

By the way, the picture has been taken at The Fall (https://opensimworld.com/hop/87371).

On a sidenote: For some reason, the Ruth and Roth group had been set to show its content to members only. I've fixed this, and now all content should be available to the public.

Juno has put up two new boxes of calf-length skirts. Again, both meshes and textures were made by Klarabella Karamell. The meshes were made for Ruth 2.0, and they work well with Damien Fate clothes.

Get them in Santiago (dorenas-world.de:8002:Santiago), just go upstairs in the building you landed in.

And yes, she's wearing one of these skirts and not a table cloth...

My Ruth store is now open! Outfits that fit the ruth body I have turned into BOM. I thought id post it here in this group before doing so in the main OSw pages. I have done my best to make the clothes work as well as i can but some alpha is required.
hop://login.osgrid.org/Tropicana%20Lakes/600/286/70

Jupiter mentioned that i should share these pics of some ruth outfits i have been working on. The clothes I am using are from Linda Kellie and Damien Fate meshes. I have also borrowed shoes from Tarna Wells Savvy and the jeans are BOM layers. When i have a few outfits done i will put them out for any who want them.

https://opensimworld.com/hop/82702
dorenas-world.de:8002:Meshmatsch

Now here's one from my home grid. A select few of you may know Meshmatsch for being the site of a jazz club, Klaras Jazzklub. That's where this picture was taken, it's Juno's standard profile picture.

While Klaras Jazzklub hasn't seen any event in quite a while, Klara has just recently added something to the sim, namely a number of shops. Her intention is to finally offer all her clothes and avatar accessories on one sim.

And she has created a lot so far and still continues to create. Before she started making her own meshes, she made textures for Damien Fate mesh templates, many of which Ruth2 can wear quite well, especially those which Klara used.

But then she learned Blender and making original mesh clothes with it. At this point, it's fair to mention that Klara is a Ruth 2.0 RC#2 herself. So all her clothes are made for this body. This also means that many of them fit Ruth2 v4 as well. At least her most recent clothes can also be worn by Athenas, but that's beyond the scope of this group.

Special mention goes to her new skirts from 2022. They're kind of universal, they come in lengths which you aren't too likely to get from SL, and they can be combined with Damien Fate mesh clothes.

Another special mention goes to Klara's mesh shoes. Klara is one of the few mesh makers to offer medium-height pumps and, just recently added, sandals. These, however, are rigged for Ruth2 and therefore too slim for Athena, but amazingly enough, they fit both Ruth 2.0's shorter feet and Ruth2 v4's longer feet, not to mention they can easily be retextured or tinted.

For the first time, you won't have to travel across the grid to gather Klara's creations (although that could be done by foot), and instead, you can get it all on one sim.

Grand opening is tomorrow from 5 AM to 2 PM SLT. (https://opensimworld.com/post/91768) Don't let the German audio play at 9 AM irritate you, though.

One more thing: Juno has made a box for Klara's new miniskirts, including two skirts as they were made by Klara and another 20 either made with textures provided by Klara or with retinted versions of Klara's denim texture. If the box can't be found at Meshmatsch, you can find it on the top floor of the Kaufrausch Mega-Store in Santiago on the same grid (https://opensimworld.com/hop/78061; you'll land right inside the building).

https://opensimworld.com/hop/75031
bubblesz.nl:8002:Savvy

Original mesh clothing? Even rigged for Ruth2? Sounds good? Well, you can get it from Taarna Welles and her sim Savvy. All female clothing under the reMake brand is rigged for the Ruth 2.0 release candidates.

As for Ruth2 v4 which is quite different in the shape of its mesh, Taarna's clothes are for advanced users who either already have a collection of alpha masks at hand or are willing to make their own ones. Even then, forget the shirts further back in the reMake shop, and the shirt and top from the Breeze running outfit may be troublesome, too.

Beyond reMake/reBoot/Luella, it's worth taking the old La Baronnie shoes with you, at least those that aren't open shoes with built-in feet. The La Baronnie footwear was made for the system body, so it comes with alpha masks. In certain cases (e.g. the Poppy trainers), you may still want to make your own alpha masks instead.

Speaking of which, you may also take a trip over to La Baronnie on the same grid (bubblesz.nl:8002:La Baronnie) where you'll find more shoes and other accessories. Unfortunately, you can't take the Rinestone boots with you. But if you're interested in them beyond what's in the Deva Moda outfit boxes, ask me here or Juno in-world, and I'll see if I can have them passed to you.

But Savvy and La Baronnie also offer something for the guys: Not only are there men's shoes and boots under the La Baronnie brand, but the reMake hoodies and jeans (especially in combination) can be worn by Roth2 v2, given the right alpha masks. And if you should find Taarna's old Poppy jeans somewhere which have vanished from her own sims, take these as well.

What if you want to go to a formal dance, but you want to avoid unlawfully acquired content from SL? Well, Juno has mastered that, too.

Dress by Thirza Ember based on a Damien Fate mesh; find it at HG Safari (https://opensimworld.com/hop/75662).

Gloves, stockings, dessous (no, she won't show you) by Maya Rivera; find them at Surges (https://opensimworld.com/hop/80631).

Shoes by Klarabella Karamell; part of an outfit box which you can find at Bella Klara (https://opensimworld.com/hop/81258).

Eyeshadow: Elif Kling; find it at The Hodgepodge at Wright Plaza (https://opensimworld.com/hop/75040).

See here: https://opensimworld.com/post/85316

And I'm the living proof. As you can see, they go well with Taarna Welles' Poppy trainers. All that's still missing (or is it) are white sports socks for men as layer clothes.

Recommended alpha masks are Gavin Jacket (only the jacket) for the upper body and anything made for jeans or trousers for the lower body.

Bad news: You may actually have to work out now, gentlemen.

Good news for Ruth2 v4s (and system avatars that ended up here): I've taken Klara's three winter outfit boxes from the Weihnachtsmarkt to the Kaufrausch Megastore in Santiago (https://opensimworld.com/hop/78061) where they're available all year round now.

That said, the Kaufrausch Megastore is a general clothes shopping recommendation for Ruth2 v4. More will follow (as may teleporters to Klara's other shops for your convenience).

Come to think of it, I should hang up some undies in the Linda department downstairs for those who still need some...

To those of you who may have been wondering if Ruth2 v4 and Roth2 v2 are Bento-enabled: Does this answer your question?

Also, me when my sister isn't at home.

Also, a good reason to get a parquet floor. For sliding-on-socks purposes.

Also, a picture that you can probably hear.

After the shopping guide for Roth2 v2 (https://opensimworld.com/post/77385), here comes the one for Ruth2 v4. Quite a few things are different, so she deserves her own guide for those who don't know which boxes to take with them.

Again, this starts with the bodies, for Ruth2 v4 comes not in two, but in three variants: "BoM" (red), "0.8.2.1" (blue) and "Business" (green).

The "BoM" body is the regular one. It's fully featured with BoM and Bento and what-have-you and fully scripted. And it comes with a HUD that lets you control a number of things: You have an alpha HUD (useless because it has only got seven areas and not dozens upon dozens, but who needs an alpha HUD if you can wear alpha layers), you can tint fingernails and toenails (works much better with universals), you can control your finger and foot positions (not really necessary for the feet, I'll come back to this), and you have some control over BoM including being able to turn it off for the body or the eyes altogether by selecting a built-in skin or built-in eye textures.

The "0.8.2.1" body is the same as the "BoM" body in shape, but reduced in scripted functionality. It doesn't have a HUD, so all functionality that requires the HUD is missing. The body still has BoM, but it's permanently on. "BoM" and "Business" are only guaranteed to work from OpenSim 0.9.1.0 on whereas the "0.8.2.1" body is said to work with OpenSim versions all the way back to 0.8.2.1.

The "Business" body comes with basically all the same capabilities as the "BoM" body, but it's more geared to be SFW. This starts with the mesh itself which is different in two places: The "Business" body doesn't have nipples. Besides, the choice of skins on the HUD is different and smaller, again, in order to be SFW. That said, the "BoM" and "Business" HUDs are compatible with both bodies, so if you use both bodies, you technically only need one HUD.

If you're serious with Ruth2 v4, I suggest you get all three boxes. The "Business" body can be useful if you're wearing layer clothes, and you don't want your nipples to poke through them (e.g. most bras). Also, keep the "0.8.2.1" body as a fallback for grids with older OpenSim versions.

Otherwise, the box contents are similar. You'll get a lot of mesh parts, though, because Ruth2 v4 is much more "modular" than Roth2 v2. So first of all, there's the body itself including Bento hands and a Bento head, but with no feet. The feet come separately, and they come in three positions (flat, 5cm/2" heels, 10cm/4" heels) so you can use outfits to change your foot position.

Both fingernails and toenails are separate, too. The toenails are separate not only because they have to match the feet, but also because they aren't affected by what BoM does to the feet, and you have to take them off under socks and stockings or if you alpha the feet out. The fingernails are separate because they come in five shapes.

Furthermore, you get a shape, you get BoM-capable eyeballs, you get eyelashes, and with the exception of the "0.8.2.1" box, you get the dark version of the unisex Biker Hair, you also get the HUD. Some classic items are in all boxes, too, namely a bald hairbase, one set of eyes, one skin and one set of dark grey underwear with editable shape. Like with Roth2 v2, the "0.8.2.1" box comes with Ferd Frederix' elf ears.

Otherwise, these can only be found in the Extras box. I strongly recommend you to take this one with you because it's much more essential than the one for Roth2 v2. First of all, it contains both the "BoM" and the "Business" body (saves you getting the "Business" box), both bodies without heads, the head, the head with a neck extension and the hands. Feet are only available in the body boxes.

As for accessories, these start with what really makes the Extras box so quintessential, namely two sets of "shoes" that adjust the height of the entire avatar for wearing heels. So wheras Athena 6 requires you to open the HUD, switch your feet to tip-toes, then edit your shape and raise your entire avatar that way, Ruth2 v4 makes the same possible by replacing the feet and the toenails (no HUD needed) and putting on the corresponding "shoes" (no editing the shape needed). This can be reversed just as easily, and it can be saved with outfits.

But wait, there's even more: The Biker Hair comes in two colours, and there are hairbase tattoos in four colours (unfortunately not in black). There's an alternative shape for realistic body heights. In addition to four alpha layers which are the most useful when BoM is off, there are three that can be quite useful on the mesh body itself when BoM is on, reducing compatibility issues that may arise from the change in shape between Ruth 2.0 RC#3 and Ruth2 v4. Granted, all three could have covered more skin, but the nipples alpha layer may save you from switching to the "Business" body when your nipples clip through your mesh clothes.

Last but not least, you get two universals for painting fingernails and toenails with BoM (another advantage of Ruth2 v4 over Athena 6), a set of white and therefore tintable underwear by Linda Kellie (I suggest you go get the full set from your nearest LK layer clothing provider, though) and of course Ferd Frederix' elf ears.

The Ruth2 v4 Skins box goes even further than that for Roth2 v2, and all without containing sub-boxes that need to be unpacked. There are various skins by various makers, all coming with their corresponding textures right away. Three of them were carried over from Ruth2 v3, formerly known as Ruth 2.0 RC#3. Unfortunately, some textures for Linda Kellie skins are missing.

The Resources box is not nearly as important, but it can get interesting because it contains a few exclusive things again. Next to the textures the various layer items were made from, there are three textures for eyelashes. These allow you to change the density of the eyelashes from the body boxes by replacing the texture.

It also contains a number of boxes again. Unlike the Roth2 v2 Resources box, it doesn't contain any skins, but there's one box with little textures with skin tones. Another one contains Ada Radius' eye textures which you can select on the HUD, but as wearable classic eyes. The third one slightly expands upon the dark grey underwear again. The fourth one contains the box art.

The Mesh Uploads box is completely useless for end users again. Containing the raw meshes of all Ruth2 v4 mesh parts, it's rather meant for creative people.

Just like Roth2 v2, I also recommend you to look for third-party accessories. Those made for Ruth 2.0 RC#3 or older are generally useless for Ruth2 v4 with the exception of the Physics box. You may need physics anyway because Ruth2 v4 doesn't even offer these in the Extras box. And as for skins, some shops that offer at least a good chunk of the Ruth2 v4 boxes now also have my Starlight Remix skins if you happen to find these to your liking. (But I'm not here to plug my stuff...)

It's always worth looking around older sims that still offer stuff for the system body. Unlike most other mesh bodies including the entire Athena family, Ruth2 v4 was designed in such a way that she can use old system skins with no problems, i.e. the "duck feet" features of classic skins such as drawn-on toe gaps and toenails are completely left out by Ruth2 v4, as are drawn-on fingernails.

Next to early mesh clothes which don't necessarily work worse on Ruth2 v4 than Athena clothes (there are no mesh clothes specifically for Ruth2 v4 yet), it's also worth looking for layer clothes because female avatars are more likely to wear skin-tight clothes in plain sight than male avatars. This ranges from underwear and lingerie to hosiery to swimwear to some sportswear to leggings. And let's not forget make-up tattoos.

Some places worth visiting are:
Deva Moda at Klamotto (https://opensimworld.com/hop/78282; here you can get just about everything including make-up and mesh clothes, but be warned, this place isn't BoM-friendly yet)
Astralia ShoppingCity (https://opensimworld.com/hop/85405; here you can get even more of everything, especially exclusive content by Cloe Kegel)
Shinobar Annex (https://opensimworld.com/hop/82007; some of the items offered there work really great on Ruth2 v4, and the lingerie box is an essential)
Zoe's Mall at Oceanid (https://opensimworld.com/hop/80390; check the Body Shop for lingerie/hosiery items that you haven't gotten from Shinobar Annex yet)
Coney Island (https://opensimworld.com/hop/74920; go here for exclusive beachwear and various unusual "tattoos" such as body oil)
La Tortuga (https://opensimworld.com/hop/76639; the enormous choice of skins, hair and underwear makes this place worth waiting for as it starts up, and you can pick up some Linda Kellie layer clothes when you're already there, especially the swimwear)

If you're still looking for the body itself and the additional grey boxes, the number of sims which offer them is slowly but steadily increasing. One would be:
Uzuri (https://opensimworld.com/hop/86638)

Inspired by Aaack Aardvark's post about the Arcadia Turtleneck (https://opensimworld.com/post/75815) and my own comment, here's a pic of myself (Roth2 v2, in case this has eluded you) in this piece of clothing.

Unfortunately, as far as I know and my long list of outfit reveals, I've only ever gotten it to work with very negligible occasional clipping with Taarna Welles' Poppy jeans which in turn work best with her Poppy shoes (you should be able to get both from Savvy: https://opensimworld.com/hop/75031), but this is not exactly a bad combination for cooler days or nights.

Yes, this is a nightly shot. But the "flashy" Stratoracer landing pad looks better at night.

Same dress, different styles.

Here is Juno in one of her favourite dresses, Loru Destiny's Burta Dress. It's also one of the few dresses which fit Ruth2 v4 perfectly without the need of an alpha layer so it can quickly be put on and taken off. Unlike most other short dresses, Juno says, it's loose enough for hot summer days and long enough to neither look slutty nor mean significant upskirt danger on stairs.

On the left, she is wearing it "summer casual" style with Rana flip-flops as if she's ready to go to the beach. On the right, she is wearing it with make-up and red medium pumps by Klarabella Karamell, more fit for a party (it was too warm for tights, though).

Here we are in front of the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool, now owned by our dear friend JohnWinston Vandyke (https://opensimworld.com/hop/85141). And what to wear in such a place? Why, tweed of course! As so often, my garments are from the AlCapone Menswear Store, one of the good old Gavin jackets combined with a pair of trousers from a Peak suit set and Dandy shoes. My sister Juno is wearing a Ruth2 exclusive, a tweed costume plus top, boots and necklace from Klarabella Karamell, with tights from the Vela Dreams shopping area. I don't know what the bouncer has on, and I can't see what Sir Paul McCartney who just happens to step through the door behind me is wearing.

Good advice for Ruth2 v4 and Roth2 v2 users:

Ideally, your body and everything else that's scripted (HUD, eyeballs if you're wearing them, feet and nails on Ruth2 v4) should show those yellow "Finished reading notecard" and "Free memory" messages after logging in, at least after teleporting somewhere that's running on a different server.

If it doesn't, it might be a good advice to reset the scripts in these scripted attachments. Chances are it even saves you detaching and re-attaching everything just to get the scripts back working, for example if your alpha mode acts up, or if you can't control your hands.

I am using the Ruth 2 v4 BOM body and I was wondering if anyone knows any good legal sources for singles dances that do not use face animations (or face animations that work well with Ruth). Thank you :)

The Ruth2 v4 mesh head is not usable for me, since it won't accept a shape well. Is there a compatible mesh head in Opensim that's a good quality? I see a some heads available on the Kitely Market but I know nothing about them. Until now I've only used the system head with the Ruth body
