Ruth and Roth




New hippie coats for the ladies
What reason could Juno possibly have to be decked out in Klarabella Karamell?

Well, you see it right behind her: Klara has finally released her new ladies' hippie coats! She had been testing them for a while now, and here they are. And they come in three different sizes and five colours.

As you can see, it's possible to wear them over some of Klara's mesh. In fact, they may fit over Klara's miniskirt which in turn may fit over her leggings. (Juno is wearing layer tights based on textures by Klara instead.)

Get them on the top floor of the Kaufrausch Mega-Store in Santiago (https://opensimworld.com/hop/78061)! And while you're there, check out Klara's other goodies if you haven't already.
Happy New Year from our New Year's party!

Dance the night and the old year away just like we do!

Outfit information will follow if you're curious...

Now we're getting seasonal again...

...with our greetings to all the Ruths and Roths and the rest of you!

Forget the "seasonal" part in the last post
Good news for Ruth2 v4s (and system avatars that ended up here): I've taken Klara's three winter outfit boxes from the Weihnachtsmarkt to the Kaufrausch Megastore in Santiago (https://opensimworld.com/hop/78061) where they're available all year round now.

That said, the Kaufrausch Megastore is a general clothes shopping recommendation for Ruth2 v4. More will follow (as may teleporters to Klara's other shops for your convenience).

Come to think of it, I should hang up some undies in the Linda department downstairs for those who still need some...
Seasonal offer: Winter clothes that look good on Ruth2 v4!
The Weihnachtsmarkt on Dorena's World (https://opensimworld.com/hop/85273) not only offers all kinds of classic Christmas decorations, but also clothes by Klarabella Karamell. Check the wooden building right next to the landing point, and you'll find some Damien Fate mesh clothes with textures made by her. They even come with alpha masks.

Oh, and don't forget to pick up the boots and woollen hats from the booth opposite.
Women could feel a lot cosier in the cold season...
...even if they didn't wear anything that has "Athena" written on it. Especially then. And they'd still look good. It just takes a bit of searching and/or asking the right people.

The general idea of ladies' Christmas outfits...

...which are supposed to be worn like this outside in the ice and snow as well.

What female avatars seem to be expected to wear in winter...

...judging by the selection of ladies' fashion in many freebie stores. Feeling chilly already?

Autumn
Autumn is colourful, but it's also chilly. You can't (or shouldn't) bare as much skin as you still could in summer. On the other hand, there are nice things that you can wear now such as these beautiful classic layer tights by Morgaine Alter (12th House Designs) with autumn leaf print. Places where you can find them include the mixed freebie stores at Wright Plaza (https://opensimworld.com/hop/75040) and Sunny Paradise Mall (https://opensimworld.com/hop/76916; don't worry, it's online).

Juno is wearing them with a knit sweater/miniskirt combination from Shinobar Annex (https://opensimworld.com/hop/82007), a necklace by Taarna Welles which is part of the same knit dress/ensemble box and boots by Klarabella Karamell, available at Bella Klara (https://opensimworld.com/hop/81258).

By the way, the picture has been taken at The Fall (https://opensimworld.com/hop/87371).

On a sidenote: For some reason, the Ruth and Roth group had been set to show its content to members only. I've fixed this, and now all content should be available to the public.
Wednesday's dance outfits
Juno has discovered that the Clutterfly circle skirts are great for dancing because they don't limit her movement. This one was textured by Shinobar Martinek, also AFAIK the maker of the tights. The outfit is completed by a pair of Klarabella Karamell pumps, a Deva Moda shirt based on a Damien Fate mesh, and Juno has put on some Deva Moda lipstick for the photo. This goes to show how well certain garments from Damien Fate and Clutterfly can be combined.

In the meantime, I look like an entertainer from around 1980 who somehow ended up in 2021... (the entire outfit is from Klamotto).
To those of you who may have been wondering if Ruth2 v4 and Roth2 v2 are Bento-enabled: Does this answer your question?

Also, me when my sister isn't at home.

Also, a good reason to get a parquet floor. For sliding-on-socks purposes.

Also, a picture that you can probably hear.

Can you believe that everything on this woman was made in OpenSim for OpenSim?

After the shopping guide for Roth2 v2 (https://opensimworld.com/post/77385), here comes the one for Ruth2 v4. Quite a few things are different, so she deserves her own guide for those who don't know which boxes to take with them.

Again, this starts with the bodies, for Ruth2 v4 comes not in two, but in three variants: "BoM" (red), "0.8.2.1" (blue) and "Business" (green).

The "BoM" body is the regular one. It's fully featured with BoM and Bento and what-have-you and fully scripted. And it comes with a HUD that lets you control a number of things: You have an alpha HUD (useless because it has only got seven areas and not dozens upon dozens, but who needs an alpha HUD if you can wear alpha layers), you can tint fingernails and toenails (works much better with universals), you can control your finger and foot positions (not really necessary for the feet, I'll come back to this), and you have some control over BoM including being able to turn it off for the body or the eyes altogether by selecting a built-in skin or built-in eye textures.

The "0.8.2.1" body is the same as the "BoM" body in shape, but reduced in scripted functionality. It doesn't have a HUD, so all functionality that requires the HUD is missing. The body still has BoM, but it's permanently on. "BoM" and "Business" are only guaranteed to work from OpenSim 0.9.1.0 on whereas the "0.8.2.1" body is said to work with OpenSim versions all the way back to 0.8.2.1.

The "Business" body comes with basically all the same capabilities as the "BoM" body, but it's more geared to be SFW. This starts with the mesh itself which is different in two places: The "Business" body doesn't have nipples. Besides, the choice of skins on the HUD is different and smaller, again, in order to be SFW. That said, the "BoM" and "Business" HUDs are compatible with both bodies, so if you use both bodies, you technically only need one HUD.

If you're serious with Ruth2 v4, I suggest you get all three boxes. The "Business" body can be useful if you're wearing layer clothes, and you don't want your nipples to poke through them (e.g. most bras). Also, keep the "0.8.2.1" body as a fallback for grids with older OpenSim versions.

Otherwise, the box contents are similar. You'll get a lot of mesh parts, though, because Ruth2 v4 is much more "modular" than Roth2 v2. So first of all, there's the body itself including Bento hands and a Bento head, but with no feet. The feet come separately, and they come in three positions (flat, 5cm/2" heels, 10cm/4" heels) so you can use outfits to change your foot position.

Both fingernails and toenails are separate, too. The toenails are separate not only because they have to match the feet, but also because they aren't affected by what BoM does to the feet, and you have to take them off under socks and stockings or if you alpha the feet out. The fingernails are separate because they come in five shapes.

Furthermore, you get a shape, you get BoM-capable eyeballs, you get eyelashes, and with the exception of the "0.8.2.1" box, you get the dark version of the unisex Biker Hair, you also get the HUD. Some classic items are in all boxes, too, namely a bald hairbase, one set of eyes, one skin and one set of dark grey underwear with editable shape. Like with Roth2 v2, the "0.8.2.1" box comes with Ferd Frederix' elf ears.

Otherwise, these can only be found in the Extras box. I strongly recommend you to take this one with you because it's much more essential than the one for Roth2 v2. First of all, it contains both the "BoM" and the "Business" body (saves you getting the "Business" box), both bodies without heads, the head, the head with a neck extension and the hands. Feet are only available in the body boxes.

As for accessories, these start with what really makes the Extras box so quintessential, namely two sets of "shoes" that adjust the height of the entire avatar for wearing heels. So wheras Athena 6 requires you to open the HUD, switch your feet to tip-toes, then edit your shape and raise your entire avatar that way, Ruth2 v4 makes the same possible by replacing the feet and the toenails (no HUD needed) and putting on the corresponding "shoes" (no editing the shape needed). This can be reversed just as easily, and it can be saved with outfits.

But wait, there's even more: The Biker Hair comes in two colours, and there are hairbase tattoos in four colours (unfortunately not in black). There's an alternative shape for realistic body heights. In addition to four alpha layers which are the most useful when BoM is off, there are three that can be quite useful on the mesh body itself when BoM is on, reducing compatibility issues that may arise from the change in shape between Ruth 2.0 RC#3 and Ruth2 v4. Granted, all three could have covered more skin, but the nipples alpha layer may save you from switching to the "Business" body when your nipples clip through your mesh clothes.

Last but not least, you get two universals for painting fingernails and toenails with BoM (another advantage of Ruth2 v4 over Athena 6), a set of white and therefore tintable underwear by Linda Kellie (I suggest you go get the full set from your nearest LK layer clothing provider, though) and of course Ferd Frederix' elf ears.

The Ruth2 v4 Skins box goes even further than that for Roth2 v2, and all without containing sub-boxes that need to be unpacked. There are various skins by various makers, all coming with their corresponding textures right away. Three of them were carried over from Ruth2 v3, formerly known as Ruth 2.0 RC#3. Unfortunately, some textures for Linda Kellie skins are missing.

The Resources box is not nearly as important, but it can get interesting because it contains a few exclusive things again. Next to the textures the various layer items were made from, there are three textures for eyelashes. These allow you to change the density of the eyelashes from the body boxes by replacing the texture.

It also contains a number of boxes again. Unlike the Roth2 v2 Resources box, it doesn't contain any skins, but there's one box with little textures with skin tones. Another one contains Ada Radius' eye textures which you can select on the HUD, but as wearable classic eyes. The third one slightly expands upon the dark grey underwear again. The fourth one contains the box art.

The Mesh Uploads box is completely useless for end users again. Containing the raw meshes of all Ruth2 v4 mesh parts, it's rather meant for creative people.

Just like Roth2 v2, I also recommend you to look for third-party accessories. Those made for Ruth 2.0 RC#3 or older are generally useless for Ruth2 v4 with the exception of the Physics box. You may need physics anyway because Ruth2 v4 doesn't even offer these in the Extras box. And as for skins, some shops that offer at least a good chunk of the Ruth2 v4 boxes now also have my Starlight Remix skins if you happen to find these to your liking. (But I'm not here to plug my stuff...)

It's always worth looking around older sims that still offer stuff for the system body. Unlike most other mesh bodies including the entire Athena family, Ruth2 v4 was designed in such a way that she can use old system skins with no problems, i.e. the "duck feet" features of classic skins such as drawn-on toe gaps and toenails are completely left out by Ruth2 v4, as are drawn-on fingernails.

Next to early mesh clothes which don't necessarily work worse on Ruth2 v4 than Athena clothes (there are no mesh clothes specifically for Ruth2 v4 yet), it's also worth looking for layer clothes because female avatars are more likely to wear skin-tight clothes in plain sight than male avatars. This ranges from underwear and lingerie to hosiery to swimwear to some sportswear to leggings. And let's not forget make-up tattoos.

Some places worth visiting are:
Deva Moda at Klamotto (https://opensimworld.com/hop/78282; here you can get just about everything including make-up and mesh clothes, but be warned, this place isn't BoM-friendly yet)
Astralia ShoppingCity (https://opensimworld.com/hop/85405; here you can get even more of everything, especially exclusive content by Cloe Kegel)
Shinobar Annex (https://opensimworld.com/hop/82007; some of the items offered there work really great on Ruth2 v4, and the lingerie box is an essential)
Zoe's Mall at Oceanid (https://opensimworld.com/hop/80390; check the Body Shop for lingerie/hosiery items that you haven't gotten from Shinobar Annex yet)
Coney Island (https://opensimworld.com/hop/74920; go here for exclusive beachwear and various unusual "tattoos" such as body oil)
La Tortuga (https://opensimworld.com/hop/76639; the enormous choice of skins, hair and underwear makes this place worth waiting for as it starts up, and you can pick up some Linda Kellie layer clothes when you're already there, especially the swimwear)

If you're still looking for the body itself and the additional grey boxes, the number of sims which offer them is slowly but steadily increasing. One would be:
Uzuri (https://opensimworld.com/hop/86638)
Have you ever stood in front of those Ruth2 v4 or Roth2 v2 boxed and wondered which one of them you actually need? Well, the labels on these boxes aren't as self-explanatory as they try to be. So before you go home with boxes that you don't even need, I'd like to help you with shopping guides.

The first one is for guys and therefore for Roth2 v2.

So the confusion starts with the bodies themselves. There seem to be two of them, one with a red "BoM" label, one with a blue "0.8.2.1" label. What's up with these?

The "BoM" body is the regular, fully-featured one. The one labeled "0.8.2.1" is the same body with the same BoM and Bento capabilities, but with reduced scripts in order to be compatible with OpenSim back to version 0.8.2.1; the one labeled "BoM" is only guaranteed to work under OpenSim 0.9.1 and newer.

This is also why the "BoM" body comes with a three-page HUD whereas the "0.8.2.1" body doesn't, and it can't be controlled via the regular body's HUD. This means no alpha HUD (which is near-useless and unnecessary in BoM mode anyway), no hand controls and no turning BoM off or changing the alpha mode. On the plus side, it comes with its own pair of Ferd Frederix elf ears.

Otherwise, the box contents are identical. You get the body, BoM-capable mesh eyeballs, one classic/BoM skin, one pair of classic/BoM eyes, one bald hairbase, one shape and a pair of dark grey layer underwear that can be changed in shape. It's basically all you need to start as the body already comes with a head, but you'll probably want more.

Which brings us to the grey boxes with the "R" on them.

The Extras box is the most important one for end users, for it may contain the "more" you want. First of all, it contains the body in various "chunk sizes": the whole body without the head, only the body, head, head with neck extension, hands and feet. Next, we have an alternative shape, namely that from Roth2 v1, previously known as Roth 2.0 RC#1. There are also a whole of eleven skins including a blank one and the one that comes with the bodies, the underwear top as a jacket, Ferd Frederix' elf ears, unisex biker hair in two colours and four different alpha layers for hiding parts of the body (you'll need these as soon as you want to turn BoM off).

The Extras box is definitely worth looking at; whether what you'll find is useful for you is up to you.

The Skins box contains the very same skins you'll find in the Extras box. However, it doesn't only contain the wearable skins for BoM. It also contains five textures per skin, two of which are meant as thumbnails for the HUD. If you've found one of the skins from the Extras box to your liking, these textures make it possible to use that skin with BoM turned off by adding it to your HUD (unless that particular skin is already on the HUD).

The other two boxes are rather special. The Resources box has the Skins box already included. On top of that, it contains the box art, the textures used on the HUD, the Ada Radius eyes that you can select on the HUD, but as wearable classic eyes (one of the reasons to get the box unless you've found better eyes elsewhere), and an underwear box that contains a pair of briefs not found in any of the previously mentioned boxes (the other reason to get this box).

The Mesh Uploads box is of no use for end users. It may be interesting for those who want to make clothes or other accessories, for it contains the various raw and unscripted meshes. Even then, you'll probably also want to take a look at the Github repository as well.

That said, if you really want to get the best out of Roth2 v2, look for third-party content. Not only will you need flexi or mesh hair since Roth2 v2 only comes with one hairstyle which is even only available in the Extras box, but you're likely to find much better-looking skins elsewhere. Don't worry, Roth2 v2 is textured in such a way that classic skins made for "duck feet" should work perfectly well on it.

Places to go for accessories for Roth2 v2 include:
Klamotto (https://opensimworld.com/hop/78282; caution, this place doesn't support BoM, so I suggest you go there first and take everything with you that you think you may need, including make-up from Deva Moda in case you consider going androgynous at some point)
Astralia ShoppingCity (https://opensimworld.com/hop/85405)
La Tortuga (https://opensimworld.com/hop/76639; there's much more to find for women than for men, but it offers the only pair of swim trunks that works on Roth2 v2 if you absolutely insist in having a bulge, and it saves you a trip to an old Linda Kellie mall because it also offers Linda's pre-Clutterfly stuff in boxes)

And if you still need the body and the grey boxes, there are various places where to get them, for example:
Shopping Village (https://opensimworld.com/hop/86910)
This just in:

Aurora/Georgetown (https://opensimworld.com/hop/85377) will most likely be the next place to offer Ruth&Roth. Upon her recent visit to pick something up, and in agreement with Tigerkitti Eberdene, my sister Juno has left all Ruth2 v4 and Roth2 v2 boxes which are useful for most users at the First Things shop. It's up to Tig to place them somewhere better, but the whole sim is still pretty much a WIP.

Oh, and this pic shows how much Juno loves skirts and dresses, especially in summer. Even her idea of maximum summer casual includes a denim mini.
To quote Aaack Aardvark, did you know?

One of the traditional killer features of the Ruth2 family is that the feet are separate whereas they're firmly attached to all other bodies.

Now you may wonder how this can be a killer feature? Well, it makes adjusting the foot position much easier. You don't need a HUD, and you can save and recall the foot position with outfits.

Athena and all Athena spin-offs require you to open a HUD and change the foot position there, and you still have to go to the inventory to find and attach the "shoes" needed to adjust the height unless you keep them under your favourites. As the foot position is HUD-controlled, it cannot be saved with outfits unless you keep multiple copies of the same body with different foot positions. Not to mention that the HUD doesn't always work. As this is so uncomfortable and unreliable, most female avatars walk around on tip-toes permanently.

Also, Athena 5 only came with height-adjustment "shoes" for 10cm (4") heels. Athena 6 doesn't have any height-adjustment "shoes" at all anymore.

Ruth 2.0 and thereby also Ruth2 v4 have feet in three different positions plus corresponding toenails and, if needed, height-adjustment "shoes". If you want to change the foot position, just detach and attach feet, toenails and, if necessary, "shoes". Not only don't you need the HUD, but you can save the foot position together with the avatar height (by means of these "shoes") in outfits. So if you change from a casual outfit with sandals or sneakers to a more fancy outfit with heels, your avatar will automagically adjust her height but also the position of her feet. Just put on a different outfit. You can theoretically even do this in places where scripts are turned off.

And yes, I wrote "three positions". Flat, the tip-toe position for 10cm (4") heels that you see on almost every female avatar out there, and there are also feet plus "shoes" for 5cm (2") heels. And yes, they are useful. Another advantage of the Ruth2 family over Athena & Co. is that fitting rigged mesh shoes with 5cm (2") heels are available. They aren't as many as the countless Athena-rigged 10cm (4") heels, and they're currently only available from one maker in one grid, namely Dorena's World, but on the other hand, there are exactly zero Athena-rigged shoes with 5cm (2") heels to be found anywhere on the Hypergrid. You'd have to use a resizing script on Ruth2 shoes or try your luck at manually fitting old unrigged shoes.

To those of you who may now say that you'd rather stick with the HUD because that's what you're used to, and forcing you to replace your feet by taking the HUD away from you would suck: Ruth2 v4 has got foot positions on her HUD as well. And while Athena 6 has got three positions, two of which are useful and one useless, Ruth2 v4 has six (!) positions, four of which are useful and two useless. Apart from the positions for flat shoes and two heights of heels, there's also a specific one for going barefoot. You can only adjust Ruth2 v4's flat feet, though, not the raised ones.

Oh, and Ruth2 v4 doesn't need to wear the "broken ankle" fix because it's already built in. You can toggle ankle lock on the HUD if you have to.
Dermatologists HATE this trick: Now you can have a skin like Juno Rowland, too!

I've rolled out a massive skin pack this weekend, the Starlight Remix skins. As the name indicates, they're based on Eloh Eliot's Starlight skins, but "remixed" by yours truly. I've mostly reduced the shades (which looked like dirt on the skin) and the highlights (which made the skin look like metal) and compiled the resulting textures into a whole of 138 skins.

The Full Set which you can see on the picture contains eleven skin packs. First of all, I've made skins with all eight skin tones suggested by Eloh Eliot in his raw files. The names are by me:
- Snow
- Pale
- Fair
- Tan
- Bronze
- Chestnut
- Coffee
- Mahogany

Pale and Fair skins are also available with freckles. The Snow skins are also available with baked-on clown red lipstick.

Most skin packs contain twelve skins each: with or without baked-on eyeliner, with or without dark-haired eyebrows so you can Eloh Eliot's original eyebrows as well as eyebrow tattoos, and last but not least, three levels of SFW/NSFW. The Snow skins with red lips are also available with full baked-on make-up in case someone may find these useful.

All skins have a resolution of 512x512 for the head and 1024x1024 for the upper and lower body.

The skins are "classic" skins for use with Ruth2 v4 in BoM mode. They also include all textures to use the skins on Ruth 2.0 and forks or include them in Ruth2 v4's HUD so that they can be used without BoM (instructions are included).

They will, however, not work properly on the system body due to the high resolution. Also, I cannot guarantee that they'll work on any version of Athena or Athena-based bodies because they don't come with neck skins.

Right now, the hotfixed skin pack is available at the Westend of Dorena's World (https://opensimworld.com/hop/80119) in my R2 shop in the southwest corner and the Lunaria Emporium (https://opensimworld.com/hop/86652) thanks to Luna's quick reaction. More shops are pending. As of now, the pack at Needful Things is not hotfixed yet. If you've found the pack at the Westend earlier, go grab the hotfixed version.

And yes, Juno has been running around the Hypergrid with a Starlight Remix skin for weeks already.
For those of you who were curious about Juno's outfit in this post (https://opensimworld.com/post/75829), here it is.

It's called the Knit ensemble fat pack, it was made for Ruth 2.0, you can get it from Shinobar Annex (https://opensimworld.com/hop/82007), and it contains several dresses, several two-piece combinations, nylon tights, two pairs of Craven boots plus a shoe base, alpha layers for the system body (needless to say they work on Ruth2 v4 as well) and even a complete Ruth 2.0 RC#3 body with high feet down to the HUD. This, however, is what the outfit can look like on Ruth2 v4.
Juno. Ruth. Bob. And an unknown model on the cover of a magazine. Taken at the beauty shop at Rayvn's Roost.

As I'm already posting avatars in knitwear today, now it's Juno's turn. For those of you who like the outfit, you can get the knit dress in a big pack from Shinobar Annex (https://opensimworld.com/hop/82007), the peach lipstick from the Riverford mall at Craft Grid, and if you're also inquiring about Juno's hairstyle, it's named Milca, and it can be found at Deva Moda stores (e.g. at Klamotto, https://opensimworld.com/hop/78282) or at La Tortuga (https://opensimworld.com/hop/76639). The eyeliner is part of the skin, but I hope I can make a post about female skins soon.
Inspired by Aaack Aardvark's post about the Arcadia Turtleneck (https://opensimworld.com/post/75815) and my own comment, here's a pic of myself (Roth2 v2, in case this has eluded you) in this piece of clothing.

Unfortunately, as far as I know and my long list of outfit reveals, I've only ever gotten it to work with very negligible occasional clipping with Taarna Welles' Poppy jeans which in turn work best with her Poppy shoes (you should be able to get both from Savvy: https://opensimworld.com/hop/75031), but this is not exactly a bad combination for cooler days or nights.

Yes, this is a nightly shot. But the "flashy" Stratoracer landing pad looks better at night.
Same dress, different styles.

Here is Juno in one of her favourite dresses, Loru Destiny's Burta Dress. It's also one of the few dresses which fit Ruth2 v4 perfectly without the need of an alpha layer so it can quickly be put on and taken off. Unlike most other short dresses, Juno says, it's loose enough for hot summer days and long enough to neither look slutty nor mean significant upskirt danger on stairs.

On the left, she is wearing it "summer casual" style with Rana flip-flops as if she's ready to go to the beach. On the right, she is wearing it with make-up and red medium pumps by Klarabella Karamell, more fit for a party (it was too warm for tights, though).
One of the advantages of Ruth2 v4 over Athena & Co.: 5cm (2") heels are available, and you can easily wear them. You don't have to stick to those 10cm (4") monsters.

It's getting even easier now: Klarabella Karamell has started putting Ruth2 footwear into her shoe store in the Westend (https://opensimworld.com/hop/80119), including an assortment of medium pumps. (That's Juno's foot, by the way.) You can find more of her shoes and other clothes made for Ruth 2.0 that can be useful for Ruth2 v4 at her Bella Klara stores (https://opensimworld.com/hop/81258) and upstairs at the Kaufrausch Mega-Store in Santiago (https://opensimworld.com/hop/78061).
So I've posted a few pictures of myself any my sister Juno in several outfits. But you may have wondered what that may have to do with bodies. This is a group for certain mesh bodies after all. Why don't I post a picture of the bodies themselves, Ruth2 v4 and Roth2 v2?

Well, without further ado, here is what these bodies could look like with some work and third-party accessories. As posting nude pics isn't allowed, Juno and I are on a beach in appropriate clothing. In case you're curious: I'm wearing the Bicolor Swim Trunks that can best be found amongst the many things at La Tortuga (https://opensimworld.com/hop/76639. The best piece of swimwear for Roth2 v2 (change my mind). Juno is sporting a bikini from the PSSMG Freebie Mall on the Dereos Grid.
Here we are in front of the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool, now owned by our dear friend JohnWinston Vandyke (https://opensimworld.com/hop/85141). And what to wear in such a place? Why, tweed of course! As so often, my garments are from the AlCapone Menswear Store, one of the good old Gavin jackets combined with a pair of trousers from a Peak suit set and Dandy shoes. My sister Juno is wearing a Ruth2 exclusive, a tweed costume plus top, boots and necklace from Klarabella Karamell, with tights from the Vela Dreams shopping area. I don't know what the bouncer has on, and I can't see what Sir Paul McCartney who just happens to step through the door behind me is wearing.
Juno and me, dressed for jazz. My outfit is from the AlCapone Menswear Store plus a bowler hat from Klamotto. It can nonetheless all be found on one sim. As for my sister, jacket, top, pencil skirt, necklace and lipstick are from Deva Moda, the tights are from the Vela Dreams shopping area, and the shoes are made by Klarabella Karamell who also owns the jazz club behind us (https://opensimworld.com/hop/82702). If you look closely, you'll see that the shoes are 5cm (2") heels, something that's only available in rigged form for Ruth2, not for Athena & Co.

Time for an introduction! The guy in black is me, Jupiter Rowland, your host. The lovely lady in red next to me is my little sister Juno. And we're surrounded by Ruth2 v4 and Roth2 v2 themselves.

Group
Ruth and Roth
A group dedicated to the free, open-source, low-ARC, low-lag mesh bodies Ruth2 and Roth2 (formerly Ruth 2.0 and Roth 2.0), made in OpenSim for OpenSim. For now, it shall put a particular focus on the current fully BoM-enabled incarnations Ruth2 v4 and Roth2 v2.

Ask questions, answer questions, talk about your experiences — and show us pictures of your avatars based on Ruth2 or Roth2!
