Not so much a question but a request to clothes makers everywhere..

I dont know what weird bug makes the flares of my trousers become large enough for an elephant to wear...but please make pants modifiable it seems that using pant length adjustment in appearance mode is the only way of clearing the problem......

if pants cant be modified they look like volcanoes attached to each leg.....

I've seen the recent return of a bug I thought was fix: pants layers showing full-length even if the bottom half is alpha. Sometimes this is accompanied by extra folds of cloth hanging from the sides.

The only solution I've found is to edit the garment, shortening it until the offending parts vanish. If the pants are meant to be long, shortening-lengthening then quitting edit works too. Unless, as Maelstrom says, the pants are no-mod. I've had several pairs like this that become unwearable when this bug strikes, and it really discourages me from buying no-mod clothes - in fact, from buying any of that seller's products.

Designers: If the pants are short, make them short *as well as* using alpha on the lower part. Better still, please allow us to mod them.

I'm more than thankful there isn't a setting for shoulder pads on the jacket layer.

Agreed. There's no legit reason to deny mod perms on clothing layers, unless IMO it's just to be an asshole... because they can. Does nothing to prevent theft and no.. their "vision" of how it should look is no better than mine or anyone elses.

Are you running a 1.21 or older viewer?

Cleared your cache? 1.23.4 seems to need that more than previous viewers. Also, are your graphics drivers reasonably up to date?

This!!! I hate no mod clothes- and for pete's sake- copy too! It's not like anyone can do anything with them after- and copying will happen regardless if the perpetrator wants it bad enough. I don't sell anything no mod no copy -

I got a shape for an alt today 9good thing was a freebie- no mod! Her head looks out of proportion small to her football players shoulders ;( - Need yet another new shape!

Ditto.

I hate not being able to adjust the flare on pants according to footwear, and sometimes jeans are made so loose and baggy that the legs just look.. deformed. O_o

I thought it might be someone's pants were on fire. Now that would be a sight.
