Upgrading your outfit folders

All the rehearsals in the world won’t fix a broken outfit folder or bad way of making outfit folders. It’s time to start fresh with a full copy body template of Maitreya Lara 5.3 and your mesh head.

Create a template

  1. Create a folder named #Template.
  2. Add your body, head, eyes, teeth, and shape to it.
  3. Add the Maitreya HUD and the HUD for your head.
  4. Add your skin:
    • If you want to use BOM, add your skin to the folder.
    • If you plan to use a skin applier, apply the skin to the body and head.
  5. Add the Maitreya Underwear, Tattoo, and Clothing layers to it.
  6. Customize your body with whatever you plan to have all the time: makeup, nails, public hair, tattoos, whatever.

That’s your template. Everything will be based on this.

Some people keep separate template folders for body and head. Some don’t.Your choice.

Convert an outfit folder

Then for each show:

  1. Open a two Inventory windows.
  2. In the first inventory window, open the Template folder.
  3. In the second window, open the folder for the outfit you need to convert.
  4. From the outfit folder, delete your head, eyes, teeth, body, and HUDs for your head and body. Only clothes, hair, jewelry, and any notecards should remain.
  5. From the template folder, copy everything and paste it into the outfit folder.
  6. Read the outfit notecard and add apply any stockings, tights, tattoos, or clothing as needed.
  7. Wear the outfit folder.
  8. Adjust nails, makeup, and alphas.
  9. Change into another outfit, and then change back. Does it still look right?

When you look in that outfit folder, you’ll see the new version of the body and head in there.

Repeat for each outfit you need to convert.
