But before I do that, I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone can tell what's happening. I currently wear a LAQ head and a Maitreya body. My head bobs around like an imbecile frequently, then snaps back out of it. If I sit and share a pose with someone, my head invariably flops, ending up inside their body or bends backwards (sometimes at awkward angles), like she's looking at something in the sky. The expressions are hard to control as well. Now I'm looking into getting a CATWA head since this one is psycho. I picked up a bunch of demos and tried them on. Even with the shapes included, the face is deformed and she won't stop making all kinds of movements (laughs, mostly, but also sticks her tongue out, blinks, etc.). I took everything off and nothing worked. I even went back to system. We realized a bunch of gestures were on, so I turned them off. Went back to trying everything on again and guess what? still has a deformed mouth, still has the animation problem. Any kind soul has any suggestions to put an end to this? TIA!

Not sure about any deformity, but make sure you're not wearing any sort of 'joint locker', like an ankle lock. That can definitely affect bento head movements.

The sequel will probably be better.

Also, I don't know where it's supposed to be attached, but I wonder if it may be attached somewhere funny it's not supposed to be.

Oh, I didn't consider that, but I'll definitely look into it.
Thanks!

I just do "add" like you usually do.
This thing is possessed :p

Is there any reason why system gestures would take over an AV like tat? Any way they can be blocked?

How do you add a pic here?
If you have a picture on your hard drive you want to post, a common way to do so is to use imgur.com. You don't need an account there. Click on "New Post". Upload your picture.

Then you need the raw picture url. In Chrome you can right click and select "Copy image address". Then go back to your post and click the icon that looks like a mountain and when highlighted says "Insert image". Paste the url and there you go.

You have changed it - it looked like Melania - Allison agreed with me ;) I like that much more.

I only have a shitty SL snapshot to go by from my inventory, but I took this the first day I saw you again in SL:

It was the squinted eyes and the scowl that made me think of Melania.

I have a couple of LAQ heads and I don't have this problem. It sounds more like an AO problem, perhaps not being properly suited to a Bento head... or if your head isn't Bento, then a Bento-compatible AO will definitely screw you up. Which LAQ head do you have?
