  1. Old faithful Firestorm has been kicking my butt for a while now. I’ve switched to Alchemy + Genesis and my SL experience is SO much better! Alchemy is great for getting dressed, making outfits, and so on. Genesis seems best for low lag, high FPS, local chat bar instead of a big window, etc.

    Thank you for all the updates, Inara!!

    Best wishes in 2025!

    1. Thank you – hopefully things will improve with Firestorm as they get to grips with the current ExtraFPS merge issues and get to a release status! All the best for 2025!
