Is it possible to get rid of the default eyes/nose/mouth you select on your avatar base so that they won't overlap with additional facial feature items you buy? Even if I uncheck the box for that facial feature in the chart they still show up underneath whatever facial items I put on.

Picking smaller noses/eyes helps but they're still visible... Is there something I'm missing? Is there no way to just take your avatar's facial features off?

If you don't want the default features to show, simply drag the layers underneath the base layer. Presto! No face. :D

I... OH. Wow. I KNEW I was missing something obvious. Thank you for your help!

you are very welcome; switching to the new system has been a little tricky for everyone.
