Viera can't use the new Modern Aesthetics - Modern Legend

[Theodric]

And the mods glitch like crazy and don't work with everything. You think SE would tolerate that?

Quite a few of their own creations clip with the character models, including some of the gear sold exclusively through the Mog Station.

Clipping isn't what i'm talking about and please don't go there if you're trying to defend the mod community. And let me add that mods are client side and not server side. If they were the whole game would come crashing down.

Yet people kept saying that new races aren't gonna be taxing to the game and should also add the other genders even if they're incomplete. At least the current content delivery isn't affected and we're getting more stuff than we got in SB.

We aren't getting the missing genders it's pretty obvious how difficult it's been to add these two let alone two more with tons of new content that needs to be adjusted for 5.0.

They've had a number of requests to add things - such as new facial hair options for male characters - only to claim it would be too hard despite modders managing to implement it in a way that looks good. So I'll admit to not having much patience, especially when situations such as this arise. Hrothgar and Viera players deserve better.

I'm not disputing that we need some content and quickly. I personally was disappointed we got nothing for 5.1. Hopefully they'll address the issue in an upcoming letter because the community deserves to know what is coming and when. The fact we got no new race specific hair let alone some of the other ones people would like to see.

The question is, how are the modders implementing it?

Are they replacing one of the existing options?

Are they constructing it as part of a hairstyle, and if so, what happens if you try to put the same hairstyle-with-beard on a different face shape?

The thing about mods being client-side is that they can replace elements they don't personally care about with new designs that they want. They can customise things to look great on their specific character, without worrying about what effect it has on everyone else's, or whether it works for every possible character design. The concerns and priorities are different.

They replace existing content with their modded versions so to add a hairstyle they simply mod one of the existing styles removing that option from the game and replacing it with the new one. They aren't adding content to the game itself but are simply altering what the user sees on their own screen.

I'm not sure how they're doing it, but the game is overdue a revamp and update to the character customisation system. Hopefully we get one soon, especially since it's biggest rival is pushing enhanced customisation as a major selling point for its next expansion.
