    [DT Benchmark] Specific Feedback re: Mouth/Lip Color Updated Shapes

    (scroll down for screenshots if you don't want an essay)

    Before I describe the issue, I'd like to suggest a solution:

    I propose implementing a new customization option for Lip Color Shape.

    Where applicable, one of the new options for Lip Color Shape would be close to how lip color appeared in 6.58.

    By "lip color shape" I mean the specific application of lipstick/gloss/tint to the lips, e.g. whether it precisely covers the lip geometry or if it deviates by covering less or more. See screenshots for what I mean.

    Why?

    Many races/faces/mouths have a substantially different appearance in DT when lip color is used due to adjustments in how lip color is applied. This very minor change nonetheless leads to an "uncanny" appearance change for some WoLs that we've had for years.

    Changing lip color shape would also be accessible from the aesthetician and so not require a fantasia use. It also wouldn't require devs to make any changes to the 3D models.

    This change would allow for new ways to apply lip color that haven't been possible before and enable players to go further in customizing their WoLs. For example, a lip color shape option could allow applying lip color to only the top or bottom lip.

    Shouldn't they just adjust lips to all look how they used to?

    No, I specifically am not suggesting that the dev team attempt to adjust the existing single shape for lip color, much less actual mouth geometry, since such a feature obviously can't be implemented for quite some time and we'll all be used to these updates by then.

    That said, I think there are some individual instances where lip makeup application is so different that changing it ASAP may be for the better.
