    The "extra features" aren't the same as other categories like hairstyle or face choices where you pick one option from a list, but only ever have one option active at a time. The extra features are all toggled independently and you can turn on as many as you like, so I don't think they count as a list they can add more options to. It's more like they're five separate lists with the options "on" and "off".

    Think of it like a form you could fill out where you select the items you want:

    Face: [space to write a one-digit number]
    Hairstyle: [space to write two-digit number]
    Beard?: yes/no
    Scar?: yes/no
    Etc: yes/no


    If the form was originally designed to handle four face options and 15 hairstyles, they could still increase it to nine faces and 99 hairstyles without needing to redesign the form. But they can't add a single extra yes/no option without creating a new space for it.

    They can still add it. The beard isn't compatible with the other two beard options available to them, so all three can't be applied together. If they do it this way (which is how it works right now anyway), they can totally add it in. Hell, any fuller beard option, really. No point in having the tiny mustache and goatee when you're going to apply the beard. It makes no sense.
