Not sure if this has ever been asked, if so I apologize and this can be deleted.

I'm a bit lost on where I can start, like where I go to update my profile, my doll, my pet? where to get clothes? how to dress them up? Says I need to have a active pet?

There's a guide I'll link you to soon, but for now here's these to help!

• For a pet go to personal tab then pets then create. You can also go to explore, Delphi, adopt r us and see if a pet is available there to adopt. Once you have a pet click the heart icon to make active as some parts of the site will want that to participate in things. There's all kinds of species and colors, take time to see the and know many are pretty easy to achieve!
• For your HA (human avatar) go to personal, wardrobe. It's been QUITE awhile since I started, but I -think- it has you pick a starter set so to speak. If it does just click on each item to add it to your HA. Don't forget to click the base tab to select your skin color (we offer more than just human colors). To gather more things to wear simply visit the main shops tab and most things in each shop can be put into wardrobe! Good shops to start would be the ones under clothing header. You can also get these items from quests you finish! So after you've selected your base and added items you can drag the items up or down to layer how you like. Once you're satisfied hit "wear on site" to save. Now wardrobe has two options to be aware of, one is items you own and the other is site wide items, make SURE you select items you own to be able to wear what you pick. You can create looks to share from the site wide side but if you save it and don't own an item it'll simply not be on your HA or tells you that you don't own X item(s). There's more to wardrobe but this should get you going.
• Profile updates are wonky but should be able to do so from personal, edit profile and that should take you to where you can add in your css coding for colors or images. Just note the wonky is sometimes it may not save or presents oddly.

You'll also want to make a shop, if for nothing more than to utilize the quick stock it provides. Inventory can fill up fast! So go to shops tab then your shops, it'll have you make one, name it what you want. So after you've done quests and buy items in general you'll want to scoot them into places like wardrobe and vault. You'll simply click your shop then the quick stock option. It'll show you all the options where you can place items, I suggest clicking the wardrobe stock all so you can see what items go to wearing. I also highly suggest putting non wearable books into vault as they are useful for pets. You may want to do that for food too.

Hopefully this helps and I'll try to dig where the big help guide is.
