For many years all the tail and belt options used to be lumped together. This obviously meant you couldn't have a tail and a belt at the same time. They finally got around to fixing that like a year or two ago (can't quite remember exactly when it happened). Anyway the point is that if they were willing to split tails and belts into separate groups then maybe they'll do the same for the Detail 1 group sometime. *shrugs*

That's reassuring to hear, though maybe they just think that nobody thinks it's a problem. I'd like to spread the word somehow.

For what's it's worth both your suggestion (specifically about the Detail 1 group) and the tail/belt group have/were both actively suggested for years. So far they've only split up the tail/belt group.|

Usually the main reason the Devs give for not wanting to do this kind of thing is that they are worried too many items will clip each other. The only good news on this front is that they seem to be slowly realizing that many players would rather have the option to combine these types of options regardless of the risk of clipping because as it turns out many combinations they seemed worried about actually work despite their fears.

Yeah, I'd much rather have the risk of clipping since if costume pieces actually did clip, few people would choose to use those costume pieces together. And even if they did, hey, at least they'd be happy with it. Even DCUO let you wear capes with certain back options like wings, even if they clipped horribly.

I've always wanted to use horns with glasses or goggles, so I heartily approve of this suggestion.

This is a prime example of a type of item combo that probably would not clip at all and should be allowed.|

I have run into this problem with several of my horned characters as well.

Supported ... I like the ides of being able to wear sunglasses whenever possible ... gotta look cool B)
One thing I'd like to see with the costume creator is a seperation of certain costume pieces within a category. The biggest example I can provide for this is Detail 1. Detail 1 has many glasses/eye details within it, but also classified as Detail 1 is head pieces as well. For example, the new Gunslinger ribbon released with the Gunslinger costume pack is a Detail 1, but I can't use it with a pair of glasses (for example, Round) simply because they're both classified as Detail 1. Would they clip with each other? Not at all. They wouldn't so much as touch each other, and yet I can't equip those costume pieces together because the costume creator won't let me. Another example would be the Scanner and Receivers costume pieces. Those pieces would look great together for an android/tech look, and they wouldn't clip, but they can't be equipped together simply because they're both Detail 1's. And this problem isn't limited only to Detail 1. Specifically, the costume pieces Bow Tie and Spiked Collar really don't belong in the Shoulders category, especially when you have pieces in Detail 2 like Victorian Steampunk 01/02.
Anyways, that's my suggestion. I can't think of anymore examples, and I hope there are others out there that wish the same. If I'm missing something about those costume pieces mentioned that would cause problems, please feel free to point them out so I know better.
