Havok 4 Surprise!
EDIT: Happy April Fool’s Day! 
I just had to share this with you guys, a particularly tech-savvy friend of mine (who shall remain un-named) has figured out a way to exploit the avatar attachment points in the new Havok 4 physics engine. With the right manipulations, you can attach more than one item to each attachment point! Do you realise the freedom this will give us fashion lovers! Just to demonstrate, I’ve attached one necklace to the Spine (bottom gold chain), and the other two (black pearls and chunky gold chain) both to Chest!
*the trick below the cut*
This is what you need to do:
Make sure you’re on a Havok 4 sim (not all have been upgraded yet)
1. Get on a pose stand and make sure you face East
2. Attach the first item to your chosen attachment point — for example necklace 1 to Chest
3. Now, with your avie still posing, rotate the pose stand until you face South and close the Edit/Build window
4. Then re-open the Build function and rotate the pose stand back East, and continue rotating until you face the North.
5. At this point attach the second item to the same point — for example necklace 2 to Chest.
6. Volia! Your done!

How in the world did your friend figure this out. -.- Pure accident? But I am so going to try that if I find a Havok 4 sim!

I understand it wil only work if you do it in the A.M though – a flaw that will be worked out, I hope…?

Winter that is a good point — as I’m on Central European Time I’m usually on in the SLT am and I’ve never tried it in the pm; lets hope they’ll fix it!

I am lost. Does this work when you leave the Havok 4 sim, or only while you are there?
