Benchmark Feedback: Female Midlander Face 5

[Gotsworth]

I highly dislike the changes made to face 5 midlanders. They changes made to the eyes and mouths are not reflective of their original look/style. The changed the look to something very RBF and my character does not have the same look as she did previously and is causing a disconnect with how I knew my character before. Please consider going back and changing the different face features to be more reflective of what the face features had been previously before this graphic overhaul

I agree! As I have posted in another thread, the changes made to my character just has her looking like another person entirely.



The changes to her face shape and lip shape are just so unnecessary in what was supposed to be just a graphical update. Not to mention the sudden forced addition of a lower eye eyeliner which totally changes her vibe.
I hope they revert their changes to the actual shape of the face sculpt and their update to be more of improving textures only cause this is just not it.

Edit: on another look, they have shortened her nose as well along with the face and this change adds to her, just not looking like her anymore.

Oh wow, the light in her eyes is just gone. The lips also look completely different. She looks like she is looking at a different direction now? Gamma correction wont change anything here. They really need to change it back to the original because it all looks very half-baked.

Personally i think this is the only Fem Hyur Face that profited from the Update. All the other ones now look horrendous.

Why does your personal opinion matter on someone else’s wol? They are unsatisfied with it. Respect that.

I also made a post about this, but made the unfortunate error of getting the number of the face wrong in the title and now I can't change it.

My biggest concerns are that the shape of some of the facial features look too altered (wider face, higher cheekbones), that the lips have changed in form and they have lost texture and that the lower eyelid now has a lot more mascara, specially towards the inner corner of the eye where before there was almost no makeup. Also, now you can't see the eyelashes.
I'd like for the updated version to look closer to the original. Maybe some of these changes could be made toggles like the extra make-up so that people that appreciate them can have them while not changing the look for the characters to whom people are already attached.
