Problems with the new Body Modification system

Got to admit first off that I actually love this new system. The original version introduced in prior patch was... pretty bad, tbh. Characters that it generated looked nothing like the descriptions. Now though we can fine tune it, so loving this :) First time I've ever not used body packs.

That said, there do seem to be more than a few issues. Not sure if they've been brought up anywhere - can't see here on forums and I don't use discord server. So just in case...

First is that if you modify a person via the slave trader's new lab thing, the full body image changes, but their headshot portrait remains unchanged. Noticed this when editing a newly bought slave.

Second is that some of the hair  options are a bit of a mess. I don't expect every piece to fit together perfectly - that'd be ridiculous - but a lot of the options just don't work together at all, leaving wierd bald spots between them or just looking downright wierd. Also, some of the 'length' options seem to have been mixed up somewhere, because I was getting longer option on medium than I was on long (can't remember exactly which it was, but might have been the bangs-section).

Last is that the interface itself's text seems to be a bit of a mess. Some options are doing the showing-up-as-data-strings thing (like DRAGONWINGSBLAHBLAH) instead of normal text. Also, minor point, but the lack of capitalisation on some of the interface text looks kinda odd when most of the game uses proper caps. Like I said, minor issue, but still.

All that being said, I am enjoying this system, and with a bit of tweaking it'll be great :)

Ok, I agree that this was something I was very happy to see, however, the more I look into and use the new system the more of a buggy mess I find it to be. Credit where it's due, they immediately fixed most of the things I was able to find within 24 hours, which is fantastic. However now, if I use the upgrade body menu, the character i'm changing loses pretty much every stat upgrade. Besides some of the changes still not changing some of the descriptions, (skin tone still saying whatever it was originally assigned, I could change a characters skin to red and it will still say fair for an example.)  I originally used a hair dye potion to change a character's hair color to pink, but had to manually change it in the upgrade body menu. I'll show my findings here. The only reason I'm not overly scared that my upgrades are gone is because I saved my file before I found this out. The first picture is what my character originally looked like, the second is me just changing their eyes and the aftermath in my stats.

Maybe my version is old... But sometimes when you use it, it resets the entire manor. All upgrades - gone. 


Edit: addendum: It also resets all the stat points ion some characters, while not giving you the option to allocate them.

It did that in 0.7.1 and the latest version.  But only sometimes, as you said.  The feature is obviously broken right now, but it will be the business when it works.
