Yes, if you visit the bathhouse for 30 days in a row, you will have accumulated 150 CSC over that time. It is given out in increments on specific days of the cycle in amounts of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 at a time.

As someone who works directly with developers, this kind of limit is necessary as backups and load time is bogged down immensely when it has to save an image multiple times over in the database (which they may be saving into multiple servers as well) so limiting them helps to not choke the system. In addition it has to save every item and layer as individual pieces and then also a whole image.

I understand that it’s frustrating but it is for the good of the site especially with how many images are on this site. But as others suggested you can save other places. I personally use google docs because I can access it from everywhere.

Oh wow that’s really generous :o I was pretty surprised the times that I received CSC from the baths, there never used to be a way to get free CSC as far as I remember!

There used to be those survey things back in the day, but some of them were kind of sketchy. So at some point they came up with the idea for the bathhouse and gave it a variety of different currencies you can earn from it (including CSC) to reward people for being loyal players and visiting the site every day.

Being able to save an outfit is necessary to enter costume contests, and costume contests on the site are a big part of play for a good number of players.

Going through old contest entries and deleting them is depressing and makes old threads on the forum go into broken image links.

500 outfits is hardly any (I'm sticking with the 500 limit as I always keep a gold account) when you figure that I as a player for three years or so have 13,000 HA items. Or 20,000. Some people have more than that.

Do I reuse them? Yes, definitely. I look back through my old outfits to see what I made before and to find items I've forgotten the name of.

Are drawers helpful? Not especially, because you can only put each item in one drawer. So if I sorted by use (like outdoor backgrounds/indoor backgrounds, or gowns) and I'm remembering something was a green dress of some kind, I don't remember if it counted as a gown, so I don't know if I should look in my gowns folder or not, or look at my chest items, body items, fullbody items, overchest items? A dress can be any of these, and occasionally it's something else. But if I remember I used it on a HA once I can go through the HAs and spot it and load that one.

Imgur is useless unless I'm doing something very complex like taking multiple screenshots of the stack of items on the HA, the skin selected if any, the hair settings, the base settings, and then I have to type in the name of each item to find it... taking way longer to save and load costumes especially if the wardrobe is laggy as it so often is.

I think the "export outfits" idea is the best. They ought to be able to be exported into spreadsheets, where the header is the item id, type, layer, name, drawer if any, then each row is one item in the order they're stacked, plus all the codes for the hair on that outfit if any and the codes for the body switches and colors and the skin and so on.

The load should accept the export file somehow.. maybe as a pasted CSR?

We are not building a system to export avatars to spreadsheets.

We have to limit things on the site. An avatar is actually a ton, it's not just an image. Looking up an avatar means looking up if the user owns those items (for a regular avatar), what images for those items are, loading those items, layering them, saving that image, and serving it to you.

We are going to be adding a limit, and all outfits before the limit starts being enforced will not count toward that limit, but we are going to have one. Perhaps we can look at increasing the limits in the future.

In the old old beta Wardrobe, the one that came before Wardrobe 3 we were allowed to buy a Cash Shop item that gave us extra slots for outfits, so if we had a GA and a clothes fixation enough to buy those things (me!) we could have up to TEN slots. Ten slots, this is like saying we can have a 512K Mac toaster nowadays. I'm old I remember when those things were nifty and like HyperCard and stuff.... Nevertheless, I loved my ten outfits slots back when most folks had only three or five.

FWIW I would pay Subeta CSC in order to increase my limit and I would totally buy whatever the modern version of Extra Wardrobe might be, should Subeta decide that this can be a profit-maker for them at the price they want to sell it for.

I have still no idear the unlimited outfits gave the same lag as old shops and galeries. If it's true, I understand this "solution". The question is, is it true? Give unlimited outfits a slow lag or not?

For sure I love it when there are unlimited outfits or they will at least increased. Is it proven too many of outfits will give a slow lag?

Back when we used to have just a few saveable outfits, my solution was to screenshot the HA, screenshot the item list, then go into MS Paint and stick ‘em both in the same image XD I had a whole folder dedicated to my HAs, and it worked especially well for contests where I had very specific themes to work with that I wouldn’t necessarily use again.

I'm fine with the limit mentioned.. seems like a LOT and I get rid of those I'm not fond of anyway.

the wardrobe itself will let you use any item before actually saving the avatar, why not just allow people to save any avatar and only check if they own the items before actually saving them?

As someone with a little over 500 saved already, I appreciate this limit personally. It's at least an attempt by Subeta to further improve the site and as long as they're backing things up and not further breaking things just to leave them broken, I'm all for these sorts of things. It's SOMETHING.

You want to know what a cash-locked game is? It is not Subeta by a longshot. It's games like Sims 4 where most of the game's overall contents are locked into $40 / $20 / $10 DLCs, which is MULTIPLES of each. You're looking at HUNDREDS of dollars to play Sims 4 in its entirety with more packs coming out each year for now. Sure, you can catch sales here and there, but chances of EA releasing things for free are SLIM. They have (they released base game for free for a short time) but they're not as generous with their work as compared to Subeta. (And if anyone says I can't compare them because they're vastly different games, then you've missed my point. It'd be like Subeta locking Omen Islands, site plots, lots of pet species, etc behind cash only paywalls.)

Subeta's a small site mostly run on dedication not cash. So... maybe put away the tinfoil hat and conspiracy theories, yeah?
