Changing the Avatar in OpenSimulator Within the Second Life Client

Tired of Ruth??

Changing the Avatar is rather simple but seems like a task because when you sign on you’ll notice that nothing on Ruth is editable. Open your intentory window  and righ click to the menu  of options. On the list you will see the option to make a new shape –  Create a new shape and then wear it  –  Bam  now you can edit the AV shape and sex type. If you make a new skin in this same manner  and wear it  –  you can edit the skin features, so on with the hair, eyes, shirt, pants, and shoes…

Now bear in mind this is a test software so when you log out  and relog in  –  you will start with Ruth again, but your items( despie what you name them before you logged off ) will be in your inventory as new item,  just wear again and your good to go.
