Hello !

It has been three months now since the new CW system launched! And there was something I wanted to reach out and get some feedback about, now that most of us are used to the new system :)

Is there a particular category* that you think is missing?

I don't mean a category for those one-off items! Rather, something you submit a lot and feel like you're always asking me to move into another layer :) I did add an ankle jewelry category a while ago when I saw how often that one was happening, haha! The good news is, it's really easy for me to add things! We are still trying to keep it more simplified (partially so it still works on mobile/tablets), but I'd love to see if you think there's a category we'd really benefit from adding!

If you would rather give me feedback on this privately rather than on the forums, feel free to submit a ticket and we can chat there!

(*by category, I don't mean an entirely separate price category, but rather the subcategories like shirts, necklaces, etc, where it automatically puts it on the right layer for you - OR something you think would be a good addition to an existing price category)

TO ADD:

  1. Sleeves
  2. Bags/purses (not handbags, which will just go under held accessories)

TO POSSIBLY ADD:

  1. Small accessory overchest type category

A category for 'Sleeves' possibly? :) These needed to be put under 'Cape, pauldron, or cloak' and then moved to arms!

Pinging myself because I know there's something I always have to ask for a subcategory layer change for but I'm at work and can't recall right now.

i have been asking you every time to move my wings to lowerback everytime :'D idk how that would work though e-e

oh some more ideas: not me specifically but ppl have asked where to send in "bags"? there was no category for it, not sure if there is now (if so pls forgive me i don't use bags kdfks)

and socks! i saw recently socks have been moved to the "feet" category, but maybe we could have a "high sock" sub category? for the longer ones like to be on the "legs" category instead of feet,, maybe? ;v; a lot of site high socks are in there so it would be really sweet to have them all in one spot

Okay, I found the one I was thinking of:

Medium/Large Accessories Subcategory: Arms (for sleeves, gauntlets, etc that aren't really shoulder items but instead take the whole arm/arms)

I do keep needing to have my full arm gauntlet shifted (and sometimes I forget).

Separating facial features from make-up / face accessories.

It was already hard to find anything under "face" but with facial features CW now being a thing it's near impossible.

^ What said whenever i'm in the face category of the wardrobe it's so hard to find/differentiate items from eyes/lips/facial accessories kinda like the same deal with head accessories/wigs

I would suggest a Small Accessory sub-category for Overchest.

Three of my cws I would put there, and currently submit them under necktie and request to move each time, and I'm planning on making more in the future. (they're currently in the chest layer, and if this became a reality I'd ask to move them to overchest for consistency)

The sort of things I'm thinking of going in there is just any non-jewelry torso accessory that doesn't fit in the available categories. Not my CW, but for instance: Going by the directory this was also submitted as a necktie and was possibly manually moved to overchest.

I'm sure there are more tiny torso accessories that aren't, well, neckties nor belts. In my opinion this is in line with some similar official items that are in the overchest layer like

he/him / 31 / EST

I know this isn't exactly what you asked, but it is still feedback on categories. Is there any way that these 'subcategories' can be added to the CW Directory search category dropdown? Right now for example, I can filter by neck layer or jewelry category but not necklaces. In fact, if I actually do use the jewelry category anything which has been put in the necklace category doesn't show up.

Ex: If I filter for the neck layer, I can find both and . If I select jewelry category I can only find because the category that is in is not a search filter option.

this isn't for adding new layers to the wardrobe. Just for new categories for CW submissions.

(Will look at these suggestions tomorrow! Just wanted to clarify that)

Sorry for the delay! I have not felt 100% great this weekend, so I've been taking lots of breaks from my computer and working in small batches.

(and since you had a similar suggestion!)

A category for &;Sleeves&; possibly? 😊
This is a great idea, and I will definitely get it added under medium/large accessories! I do see quite a few sleeves come through.

In the case of your lower back wings, I would rather keep moving those manually! I don't want to have multiple categories for wings, since the vast majority of them are on the back layer :)

oh some more ideas: not me specifically but ppl have asked where to send in "bags"?
YES This is definitely on the list too! I don't know how 'bags' really got forgotten. Most people have been submitting them in the medium/large accessory category for gauntlets and the like, since that puts them in the shoulder layer, but I'll definitely get them their own visual aid!

The sock one, I need to think about. We already have socks and leggings. Taller socks like that are really straddling the line between the two, and I would really consider any sock to be more of a foot item where true leggings are for legs.

There are already categories for both masks and glasses - I think you might be thinking as something to add as a separate wardrobe layer? This is only for CW categories!

This is one I'll add to a 'possibility' list - I'm not seeing it THAT much, so it hasn't been too hard to change now and then, but I'll definitely keep it in mind!

Unfortunately this is a result of the new system collapsing down so many of the categories into smaller, more manageable ones. We knew some categories would be merged, so it isn't surprising a few things don't filter correctly. This is out of my ability to fiddle with, since it is more of a programming thing, and I'm unsure if anything can be done for it!

i guess the sock thing is more of a rl thing (where i agree socks are a foot item) vs an HA thing - usually the feet are covered by shoes in the HA, so where the socks shine is really the legs! whenever i feel like my HA's legs look too naked, that's where I go look! maybe instead of two categories for socks we could have them all go into legs? unless a lot of ppl feel the same way about them being in the feet layer, but since most of the site socks are also in legs, it's more of a unifying thing (to make the wardrobe use easier!) I took some screenshots of my own wardrobe to illustrate my point here, just to show how it's just recently that some socks ended up in the feet layer, whereas most of them are in legs -

screenshots

so uh tldr: new suggestion to change the socks category to put them into legs instead of feet?

I'm not going to ping and add to your notifications but I am excited that we might get some additional subcategories that make it more streamlined for you and us!

Also I hope you get rest and feel better soon!

So I have a conundrum. I asked the Creative Department, and informed me that historically they've put socks on the ankle layer (which I forget is a think 90% of the time). SO THAT BEING SAID... I don't know what to do lol :') I think at least for now I'm going to leave them where they are while I get the other new categories set up, and then go from there!
