Pros, Neutral Notes, and Cons

Other things of note to consider that haven’t been mentioned above.

Pros

  • It’s free!
  • It’s a really good looking body, especially for the price.
  • If you had their older product The Mesh Body (TMP) it will still have your outfits saved in the HUD. 95% of your old mesh TMP clothing will fit with it as well. This is basically just a redesign of that original body.
  • There is an incognito mode that hides your body from others. This can be helpful when trying to be less intrusive (such as at popular shopping events).

Neutral Notes

  • The body has 5 applier layers (skin + 4 more). The top 4 applier layers can be used with BOM skins.

Cons

  • Meshbody uses their own system for some parts of their HUD. This requires in-game media to be enabled to use it. If Meshbody for whatever reason no longer supports their body, this functionality could be lost entirely.
  • While the body has applier layers, it’s not Omega compatible so you’re limited to Classic specific products.
  • As it’s a remake of a discontinued body, it’s not getting many new products made for it. That said, you can find some new items by looking for “Classic Meshbody” products.
  • The alpha system isn’t as obvious as other bodies. The sections of the HUD make it look like the alpha are huge, but they run together. Each section has multiple cutouts included, you just can’t visualize it easily until you click them.
  • The included skins are gorgeous, however you have to use neck blenders or chokers to match head skins to the body skins. 36 shades of “Neckfade” textures are included with your body to make it easier, but it’s still an extra step of customization some people may not be interested in. No BOM skins come with the body.
