Genus head give away Dec.. 2025=2026

 

These are the two heads that caused such a stir over the 2025 Xmas holiday events. Genus offered a free male and or Free female Generation 2026 head to already members of their registered group. No string, no gimmicks... The only condition was that you were a member in good standing in their Genus Group. You had to be already registered in their database  .. as a member.

You can imagine the pandemonium ... from the day it opened till they day the event closed, you could barely get on the sim.  The first few days,  there was no way, it was pure bedlam,. Eventually I got both heads, the male was easier to obtain... I worked on putting together a look with the male while I kept trying for the female.  One needed determination and perseverance.

What I am showing you, is  how the avatars looked within 24 hours of my getting them. I was impressed with the Hud that came with the head.. It supplied me with everything I needed, to get the look you see.  I am not the best at doing these upgrades, heads/bodies etc. I always look for "how to" videos from the people who do the videos and blog on "what's new in SL" etc.

To this end, I am a big fan of blogger, Naria Panthar    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0EuX0qwDX6__lYj1Kj6msA

It is true, I have been doing this in SL for a long time now.. close to 19 years. However, when it comes to these new heads, the skins and such, I am always a novice, learning. Avatars have come a long way since I began in 2007.

To simplify the process,  I have found it is easier to start from the beginning, I have tried to take short cuts.. it is a frustration.  When we begin from the start when building your new persona... it is easier and less complicated.

Since I am mostly female in SL. using male alts only for photography assignments etc,  doing up my first male was a real challenge. So for the male it was easy once I discovered which male body I could best work with... then it was a matter of making sure the head was compatible with the body (skins)

The event is over now .. if you got a new head, congratulations.

The package you receive has everything you need to get you started... beside where you get the free head, they had a gift board out where you could get extra skins etc.

Note that the Genus uses its own skins, the skins sold for the Evo X, Lelutka heads are not compatible with this head.

If you missed out on the free heads, after seeing how easy it was to put these looks together.. consider having a look at their heads, and if there is a free head on their gift board.  Unless you are a working blogger or photographer, chances are once you have your avatar character built, except for makeup changes, you will likely not change your head   once you get the look you want.

Good luck, have fun,
