IMVU Creating vs Second Life?

Hello Mafia Fam. It's been a while. I've been feeling bored with IMVU and think it's about time to step away. I recently dusted off my old SL account. I've never really used it but I do like the graphics. I'm not really in to the social part of it so I was curious about creating. Has anyone here created for SL? How does it compare to IMVU? Can the meshes I created for IMVU be uploaded to SL?

Also, I'm assuming it'll cost L$ to upload. Are there any reputable currency resellers?

Thanks!

Okay, I did some research into this. Unlike IMVU, you don't need to pay to be creator however you do need to have payment information attached to your account. However, as you expected, to actually upload you need to pay L$.

As of 2021, 1 L$ is equal to about $0.0031 USD.

Also worth noting, you need a premium account to access adult content. I assume this also applies to uploading as well.

Also, with regards to L$:
SL Community Page wrote:
As a Premium member, you get a one-time bonus of L$1000 and receive a weekly stipend of $L300 and a 1024 square meter premium tier bonus.

As for getting L$, it appears you can buy it in worlds and online on something called the LindeX. It looks like SL has a reseller program and you're not allowed to purchase outside that but I'm not finding any recent information about it.

Hope this helps.

my account is over 10 years old. Is that considered gf? I finally got around to using it so I'm not sure if it has any perks.

ty. I bought L$ in game but was wondering if there's a bm type of shop. It cost over $50 to buy a body, hair, and head.

Yeah, though if I remember correctly, there's isn't really such a thing as BM on SL since it's all allowed.

not the sex items, I was just looking for L$ so I can go shop without it costing a small fortune. I figured if I can just upload my IMVU meshes for sale that would help too. Avatars and clothes probably have different types of rigging but maybe non interactive furniture will be easier. Anyways, thanks.

I'm not sure what the price is to upload but I do wonder if the monthly L$ you can from being a premium member is enough cover your needs. What I would do if I were you is look into the cost of a premium membership then compare that against the cost of buying L$. It might be cheaper to live off the monthly stipend.

Let us know how it goes. I am curious if it's improved at all since the last time I tried it many years ago.
