Ruthed In Second Life





Ruthed
 

I logged in as Mayia today and she didn't rez for the life of her!!

I was a bit upset - who am I kidding! I was pissed and sad at the same time.  I couldn't see my AV, her eyes all white, her skin was very...noob, her feet and her hands were huge, the shape...her huge hips, voluptuous breasts, cute nose and lips were gone - wiped out.  I couldn't edit appearance nor put on fresh skin and shape from my inventory.  I kept login in and out, even tried other AV's but they looked fine, it was just Mayia with the issue so I called for help!

Sweet and loving Skye to the rescue...she diagnosed me as being 'Ruthed' and mind you, it is the first time I've heard that word in SL and I have been there for 4 years (yesterday was my 4th Rez Day).
I guess it has happened to her before because she went searching in her inventory for a notecard on how to fix the matter.  While she was doing that I went on to do my own homework, I went to google...and there I found my answer, you can try one of the solutions below: 

1.  Make sure your inventory is completed loaded...if that doesn't work
2.  Try putting on an article of clothing from your inventory
3.  Rebake (Ctrl+Alt+R) or (Advance, Character, Rebake Textures)
     ...if all else fails
4.  Advance - Character - Character Test - Test Female (cause I am female of course)
Takes you back to your noob form :) sure was weird to see myself like that after so many years. *sighs*

Now, when I went to fix myself up, put on my shape and skin, I couldn't find the right skin, and the shape was not the same, maybe I forgot to save them, ugh, I always forget to do that!!.

I am not the type to change skin or shape constantly, I am often happy with the outcome of my girls and they stay the same.  Mayias' skin and shape have not changed in over two years :) and it was really a downer when I couldn't put her back to the way she was *cries* do you actually think I gave up?  pffft got another thing coming...I am known to probably slow down, give up? that is not a word in my vocabulary!

To make a long story short...I did it!  She looks like her old self again :) and if you are wondering, yes, I am a bit OCD *chuckles* It wouldn't be the same if she looked different..at least not to me.




She is my first AV, the first of many *grins* you can check out my Second Life Profile but I must warn you, if you don't have an acct you really can't see much...sorry
Above all it was a great and fun night...I saw myself as a noob and trying old skins and shapes I saw all the changes I made through the years - like growing up, until I found a shape and skin I felt comfortable and happy with, I really didn't see the need to make any changes, just glad she is back to ol'self again

At least I am not Ruthed anymore!
