My friend Kat showed me New Berlin today, specifically the German Newbie Center. I’m not much of a fan of the word “newbie”, I prefer “newcomer”, it sounds much more welcoming!
The reason Kat wanted me to visit is because the GNC has a stack of FREE clothes to help newcomers get started! Both guys and girls will find some great starter outfits here.
I grabbed a dress and some heels to show you at least one of the outfits you can easily create. The dress is sized for Lara, Venus, Physique, none of which I expect a newcomer to have. But it also comes with fitmesh versions for the five standard mesh sizes including an alpha, so that will fit a classic avatar right away. A good idea might be to include a notecard with a pointer to the standard body size information, and an explanation of the sizes.
The heels are called “Ribbon High Heels Black” which is super confusing, and they are really mids (at least they are on Maitreya). I prefer Slink as you probably know, but I use Lara’s mid feet because I only have a very small collection of mid high shoes. The shoes are in sizes for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, and Ocacin. Again, a newcomer would hardly be expected to have any of these, so fortunately it comes in a size to fit Map feet too, which are FREE on marketplace. Again, a notecard would go a long way to helping someone new to SL.
The GNC is worth a visit if you’re a newcomer, or helping one out!
Dress and heels available for FREE at the GNC
