Import your assets

Everything you customize in LAS starts as an asset you own: a base, an outfit, hair, an accessory, a texture pack. Importing is how those files get into the app. LAS does the unpacking and sorting, so this step is mostly drag, drop, and watch.

Two ways in

Section titled “Two ways in”

Shop inside the app. The Store door on Home opens Booth and Jinxxy in a built-in browser. Buy or download something there and LAS picks it up and imports it on its own, no file juggling needed.

Bring files you already have. Open the Library and drop in the files you downloaded before you had LAS. Archives are fine as they are. There is no need to unzip anything first, and archives with Japanese file names unpack correctly.

What happens during import

Section titled “What happens during import”

LAS analyzes what you dropped in and works out what it is:

  • It identifies the pieces inside: prefabs, meshes, materials, textures, and installers.
  • It recognizes most popular bases and products, and files each import as an outfit, hair, an accessory, or a base.
  • Anything made for an avatar goes into your Wardrobe, sorted and ready to wear.

While this runs, the Library shows each item’s progress. Most imports finish in moments, though large outfits can take a little longer.

When LAS asks for help

Some products are packaged in ways no tool can identify with certainty. LAS never guesses silently:

  • Tell LAS what this is. If an item cannot be identified automatically, it waits in the Library with a Review button. Answering a few quick questions files it into your wardrobe correctly.
  • Add a product link. If LAS does not know which store product a file came from, you can paste its store page link. That shows the right name and picture, and helps LAS spot duplicate purchases later.

Compatibility matters

Outfits are made for specific bases. A product page on Booth lists which bases an outfit fits, usually as a list of supported avatars. An outfit made for your base attaches cleanly. One made for a different body will not fit without real mesh editing, which is outside what any automatic tool can promise.

So before you buy, check the supported list on the product page. Our guide to adding clothes to your avatar covers how to read those listings.

With your assets imported, open your avatar and head to the Wardrobe: it is time to customize.
