Pros, Neutral Notes, and Cons
Other things of note to consider that haven’t been mentioned above.
Pros
- Every purchase of Maitreya LaraX Petite comes with a fullbody version of Lara Original Petite. This gives you access to a large catalogue of products that were released for the original body.
- LaraX allows for diverse shapes more easily than Lara Original did.
- Maitreya is a very established brand in Second Life. This has a big chance to boost the popularity pretty quickly.
- The clothing/underwear/tattoo layers are separate objects that can be removed to keep your complexity lower.
Neutral Notes
- With LaraX being so new at the time of this listing, there are not as many clothing options currently. That said, there are hundreds of creators with access to the Maitreya Dev kits. As time goes on we’ll see how third party support grows.
- If you already own LaraX you can purchase the Lara Petite addon for cheaper than the full body if you prefer. Keep in mind doing so will take an extra attachment slot as you need to wear both the LaraX body and the chest addon.
Cons
- LaraX Petite doesn’t come with any shapes. This isn’t a huge con since most folks will use a shape designed for their head and tweak the body to match, but it is still something of note.
