Preview of Maelys, heroine of my WIP Kingsbane. Notice any tricks? There’s at least two and I credit one of them to @VILARCANE .

Look very carefully. You may have seen an NPC in Libra early on that also has this effect.

Also unsure about sticking with the Breastplate or Menghu Cuirass.

Just in case anyone doesn't know. To put stickers on the back of capes, you need to change the horizontal angle on the selector for projection. The way it shows the red square as you begin to put on the sticker is the angle you get, if you change the horizontal angle, it goes round the model, so it can go in back should you need. It's a bit awkward, but I'm sure you'll get used to it.

She looks lovely! How were you able to get the beauty mark to look good? I used one of the sun stickers when trying to make my Bloodborne character, but it still looks a bit off.

Can you clarify that the character you were trying to download was wearing any parts of Tira's, and also whether or not you own Tira? I'm curious about this.

I had already downloaded her so it must have been something I hadn't unlocked with soul points (I haven't unlocked any of the locked parts yet).

Right, I wondered because you brought up how it might be another scummy DLC practice, but that doesn't make a lick of sense if you have Tira because soul point stuff has nothing to do with DLC... Perhaps they had pre-order bonus items on it? That's all I can think.

It does make sense. In my case it would have been one of the unlockables already in the base game. But future dlc would obviously work the same way, ie if you haven't bought and downloaded the required dlc pack, the game's interface would prevent you from downloading and playing people's characters made with the dlc parts that you don't have, therfore baiting / incentivising you to purchase the dlc pack so you don't have any limitations when trying to download people's creations. See what I mean now?

You can't download people's characters made with SP purchasable parts that you haven't unlocked. I don't see any reason why dlc parts would be exclusive to this. If that's the way the system works then it will surely work the same way for both. That's why it looks like a dlc bait tactic. Because originally they said we would be able to download people's characters irrespective of whether we had the right parts unlocked and that the only limitation would be the inability to edit them.

I use the foot motif in Rotation to get it as tiny as possible. And then I use a circle and try to match it to the skin tone. If you have bad OCD you’d probably notice the imperfection.

Fun fact: She’s the longest lasting OC of mine without too many significant changes. Only going from a white mage type to Paladin/she’d play more like the actual protagonist in an RPG than XIII (my main OC whose the rogue class.)

Still unsure which armor is best on her between Menghu and Breastplate.

Thank you! Looking at it a second time I can see the circle, but it's not bad at all. The sun motif I'm currently using has a similar problem, along with having the border of the motif visible.

That's what I'm saying doesn't make a lick of sense. They said X, then went back on it.
 
It's really strange seeing you, of all people, feeling like this. Understandable but strange. A lot of us consider you easily one of the best and most creative, and I was looking forwards to your stuff, but I totally get you there is a lack, and then the conflicts are frustrating.

I'm getting real disenchanted with half the lower wear including their own boots too.

Glad to see some friendly familiar face especially ones with such kind words.
I have managed to create one character but sadly it felt a lot more like a compromise opposed to fun, I'll post her in the other forum. Now I've properly used the new system I've just become more aware of more and more faults 😭
 
I'm hoping that I can raise the spirits of some of you fellow CaS'ers here by showing off the few creations I've actually put time and passion into! I've now done Bayonetta, Raiden(MGSR), 2B and Lara Croft(Classic) and, might I say, they look much better than decent. Hopefully I can share them with you guys soon, I just have to figure out how to get them from my PS4 onto here. 😅

Easy to have kind words when you're talking to someone you like ;)
I look forwards to seeing her, please link me when you do! (Because I have a cyclone of notifications often and don't wanna miss it...)
It is easy to get caught up in the faults and feel stifled. I've just accepted that a lot of pieces are going to be used on a lot of creations and am just making my peace with it. DLC characters should, in theory, help pad things out alongside those CaS packs? But yea I feel ya man.

Oh I'll ask some friends of mine if nobody gets back to you first :)
 
Okay, I finally looked at all the races...and I am wholly disappointed. Just to point out what's known, some can't be female (I pretty much exclusively make females, because biased). From my perspective, body differences and items were removed from some races without reason (i.e. hair, face options, UNDERGARMENTS). And the modifications these races have lack adjustability (can't have tiny wings or horns on the side of the head?). Also, SKINTONES, why are they limited on the malfested? Glowing eyes only work if you're trying to make them red or white.

As is, I'll mostly use human, and I'll probably only ever use the other races once, if at all. Imo, races should have just been added as skin textures that don't conflict with equipment and had the mods as extras instead (increase extras, pls). While the ability to put stickers/patterns on 1P equipment is nice and the extra poses for pics are great, I feel like SCVI CAS is half-hearted and an overall downgrade compared to SCV. Which is sad, considering previous installments had consistly been upgrading it. My hopes about DLC fixing it are minimal.

And the adjustment slider is so god damn slow.
