I want members of the staff responsible for gear to actually give a detailed, thorough explanation of why they can't replicate or otherwise remedy this process officially.
    Very little clipping compared to what? My current glamour clips with itself. My Hroth friend can't wear high collars because his hair clips through all of them. Several of the Viera hairstyles clips through their shoulders even in an upright idle pose. I'm constantly changing hairstyles and shuffling outfits around to minimize obvious clipping.

    Like don't get me wrong, most of it is pretty minor and something I can overlook or ignore, but that doesn't mean it's not still there. The very bad, very obvious, very egregious clipping is what's rare. Like that princess dress that eats people when they sit down lmao

    I'm also not actually encouraging modding. I'd just like SE to loosen up whatever standard they're using to decide how much clipping is too much to give these two new races more options, and I don't think clipping is a great excuse when they already allow a fair amount of clipping.

    There are steps they take to reduce it, such as alternate legs and sleeves to accommodate gloves and boots, etc. etc. I guess if you consider the sheer amount there could be there is very little. Some games they don't even try to make boots work with pants.

    But there is still a lot, especially with hair, for every race. If you want to have a variety of glamours you need to compromise on what Hairstyle you use, or live with a certain amount of it. So when people say they aren't giving Viera and Hrothgar hats because of clipping issues, it makes me wonder what exactly their criteria is for acceptable clipping. They obviously don't have a zero tolerance.
