Getting Started
When you first arrive on the Openlife Grid you will be wearing a 'default' Avatar and clothing, whilst not all that attractive, we all need to wear something. You cannot edit your default appearance but must create, or wear new clothes before you can edit appearance. In addition you must create and wear new body parts to change your shape and change gender to male, if you are not female.
Creating a new set of avatar and clothing is fairly simple, using the Kirsten Openlife Viewer or Realxtend Viewer.
