FAQ
What can I customize on my Roblox avatar?
Body scale (R15 only), skin color per body part, face, head shape, outfits (T-shirt, shirt, pants, up to 8 accessory slots), and animations. Choose body type (R6, R15, Rthro) first, then customize within.
How do I change my body scale?
Avatar page → Body → make sure you’re on R15 → slider panel appears. Adjust Height, Width, Head, Proportions. Click Save. Changes apply to all experiences where R15 is used.
Can I use custom hex colors?
On R15 and Rthro, yes — enter a 6-digit hex code (like #FF5733). On R6, only the 12 preset colors are available.
Why can’t I see my new color?
Clothing may cover that body part. Try equipping a sleeveless shirt and shorts to see full skin color. Or the item itself may be color-locked.
How do I save my look?
Avatar page → Save button. Also save as named outfit via Account → Outfits → New Outfit. You can have up to 25 saved outfits per character.
Do customizations transfer across experiences?
Generally yes — your look applies in any experience that uses your body type. Some experiences force a specific look (R15 or R6) and override your preferences temporarily.
Can I preview before buying?
Yes. Hover any Avatar Shop item and Try it on — the avatar preview updates with that item. Actually purchasing adds it permanently to your inventory.
