salutations♡♡!!! writing here again with some questions XD 
1. how do you search for good backgrounds? i can understand a basic by color/general theme search through the shop, but it doesn't work as well when i am looking more for a vibe and don't have a specific image in mind. are there collections made by other players? how i can find them??  

2. i see that we can buy clothes/bodies of another skintone, but most ppl choose to make outfits with the same base. would it be seen as [another race/fat]fishing if i would create outfits with different body types? bcus i currently see them all like paperdoll cutouts i can style, but if they're meant to be more so an avatar i want to respect it!

 
3. layering scrolling doesn't work for me on mobile. is there a specific way to scroll it or it's just a lost cause and i should do all layering adjustment on pc? 


that's all!! thanks for your time <3

1. It is rather difficult to find the right BGs, isn't it? For me it always is at least. I don't know if I have particular hints or tricks unfortunately. Generally, I will conceive of a scene I want to create and just search all related terms I can find. (For a yacth party, maybe like "deck", "ship", "boat", "sea", "ocean"). There aren't really specific collections or anything - but over the years there have been Nines events which uploaded BGs to go with the theme. For instance, you will find a lot of night time BGs by searching "Halloween" or "Spooktober", a lot of romantic BGs with "Valentine", and quite a few bars with "Patrick".

2. It really depends on the user how they see their avatar. For some, their ximbo is a virtual representation of them, taking on many of their characteristics and maybe working as a form of wish fulfillment. For others, they built an external character with quirks and a theme (ie. Reivalentine with her busty redhead, Eunyce with only ever wearing black and white). And for a third section of users building a look is more like a creative exercise, but with clothes and layering instead of drawing. For them, the looks aren't necessarily tied to their own identity at all and often don't relate to each other either. Seeing as you really have no way of knowing who anyone is irl, it's not like anyone could ever know. The way I see it, just like you can paint pictures of people of different races and bodytypes, there is no harm in experimenting with those aesthetics here, given that a singular look is not a clear positive statement that that's what you are.
I would only really have a problem with using a specific skin if it was done with the clear intention of mocking and/or stereotyping a social group.
 
3. The mobile layering a little bit tricky for sure. It is easier on a real monitor. A few notes though: It is easier to grab on the actual items, rather than the slider. So if possible, move around the layers by dragging them up and down. If you're having trouble getting the slider to respond to you, move and item around enough for it to move, and then the slider should be automatically selected as the scrollable object, instead of the webpage itself.
