Pros, Neutral Notes, and Cons
Other things of note to consider that haven’t been mentioned above.
Pros
- Reborn has a ton of third party support as well as first party addons for more breast and nipple options. It’s very easy to find products made for both it and for mods that have been made for it.
- A mod version of the body is included which makes it super customizable for those who are interested in the extra level of control.
- An auto-alpha system is included, allowing creators to autohide parts of the body when you put their products on. Users of Legacy will be familiar with this convenient system.
- The feet can be controlled individually, making for more natural looking poses if you so choose.
Neutral Notes
- Reborn is one of the super popular bodies right now. It’s easy to find clothing, piercings, and more in most any style. If having a large wardrobe and flexibility is important to you Reborn won’t disappoint.
- The eBody Discord is really well organized. It’s easy to mute everything that doesn’t apply to your needs and just get notifications for things that do.
Cons
- The butt doesn’t really have a “small” option. If you don’t want to have a booty this is likely not the body for you.
- The calves, ankles, wrists, fingers, and toes are a bit on the thinner side and can seem out of proportion, especially on larger shapes.

Hello. My name is kaotikchameleon.starflare (aka Kao). ♥ I love my new Reborn body very much! I am, however, having an issue with my nails (from the Reborn body HUD) not fitting my hands properly, primarily on the thumbs and index fingers). I am not sure if the issue is with the hand animations or if there is somehing I am wearing, or not wearing that is creating the problem. Do you have any suggestions? I will greatly appreciate your help!
Thank you so much,
Kao
Hi Kao! A couple things can cause avatar parts to not line up right, but with the nails I usually find it’s an issue with the skin. Are you using a skin specifically made for Reborn? If not the finger textures may not line up quite right. You can test to see if this is the issue by putting on one of the skins that comes with the body. If that resolves the problem you’ll know it’s the skin that you’re using.
If things still aren’t lined up quite right while using a Reborn skin, I’d try redelivering the body and seeing if the new body/skin combo works out of the box.
If these don’t work you may want to reach out in the customer support channel of Reborn’s Discord.
