Lucy Martinez - Character

Lucy Martinez is a 21-year-old student who rarely takes her studies seriously, often seeming more relaxed than those around her. Despite her laid-back attitude, she somehow always manages to succeed, pulling things together at the last minute with surprising ease. Flirtatious and effortlessly charming, Lucy knows exactly how to play with attention, making her both unpredictable and hard not to like.

Great stuff but can I offer a word of advice.

Ditch any references to Wolverine vars, replace them with the source vars instead and clean the Wolverine morphs out of your add-ons
End users end up in dependency hell with Wolverine stuff. Maria contains tons of duplicate morphs which end up as duplicates in peoples morph views, then propagating through further looks instead of referencing the originals.

ie your look contains 2 wolverine morphs. both of which should be referenced from Spacedogs pack here instead:

Many folks simply won't touch anything with a wolverine dependency.

Just curious, what's the deal with wolverine dependency? It's just that it duplicates reloaded lite morphs and it's better to avoid unnecessary dependency, or it's some additional things too?

Wolverine duplicated morphs from all over the place and they often end up getting used by other creators usually by accident as they appear in their morph lists

Hailey also by Sindrae for example uses a single morph 'Lips Upper Bow' from Wolverine's Maria.
This morph is built into vam, so now it will flag Maria as a missing dependency when it's not actually needed. The unsuspecting will DL it and end up with all those other duplicates, perpetuating the cycle.
Its why Maria has ended up being linked to over 400 other creators content.

If it wasn't for the fact many creators now merge and split their morphs for a final release, it would probably be in the 1000's

Maria isn't the only offender, all of Wolverines other looks have this morph bloat too, and some have huge dependency lists that come with them

Granted, there are some hard to find morphs in some of Wolverine's content, but I would argue people only find them necessary because they've been circulated so widely when in reality there's plenty of alternative easy to reference replacements for them.
