okay so i may have edited around 20 other outfits onto the new body before i eventually settled on the 4 in the final post...... was that incredibly time-consuming? perhaps. do i regret it? yes oh my god i should have been doing homework wtf is wrong with me no, no i do not.
(lol just click the read more if you want to see some of those + extra commentary)
(i also made 2 more face options that i could put up later, if anyone wants that)
i was gonna use this very simple but very cute bra & undies pair on the left until i discovered f!dakota's underwear set on the right
(yo where can i find a bralette in real life that looks that good and still holds ALL OF THAT up?? asking for a friend)
as i said, the first iteration of this edit was based on an mc from another game, and i imagine her wardrobe mostly consists of sweatshirts and other loungewear like myself but i wanted her to be in something more dressy for the actual post. this is what i had her in before i committed to making a complete sprite and not just overlaying riya's body:
some other looks that didn't make the cut:
i used to groan every time a new floral diamond outfit would show up in a book (why are there so many tho?), but i must have been seeing them on the wrong mcs because these fits are gorgeous
one thing i wanted to clarify is that these mcs aren't really "plus-sized"; they're rather just an average person's body in real life. the game leans so far in one direction of a particular body type that this one would seem extraordinary, when in reality it's super common. i do wish i could make some edits with mariana, who is actually plus-sized, but i don't think i'd be able to get the shading right. pb, hun, if you could just feature that body type with more outfits in more books, that'd be great, thx
lastly, i appreciate all the love y'all sent on that post! i honestly have more fun making edits than i do playing the game these days. what made me come back from being gone all summer was the joy i got from reading all the feedback and color commentary people would put in the replies & tags of my edits. every big announcement pb makes pushes me closer and closer to dropping this app for good, but i would stick around just for the laughs and insight y'all provide on here.
wow that got super corny at the end. you're a champ if you got this far, truly ✨

43 fics waiting to read/comment/reblog. I sound like a broken record, but 6 weeks later and I'm still saving everything I'm tagged in to my drafts.
When this is all over and I get more than ten minutes peace and quiet without falling asleep, I promise I will get through every single one. Even if it's still another 3 weeks down the line. Please keep tagging me. I will get there eventually!
