Death to appliers.

use the clear button on the belleza hud, retard

i still dont understand why these creators cant just make their shit copy+mod. whats the point

>>22883

Because any mesh body worth anything has several layers to apply texture clothing on. These are stacked on top of each other which would make manually selecting them a pain in the ass.

On top of that those mesh bodies also are segmented so you can hide parts of them, making manually selecting even harder (you can't just apply 1 texture to the whole object because the SL uv map has 3 uv spaces).

Making them mod would be nice, but from a creator's perspective would be more bothersome than it's worth, since idiots would fuck it up and then come crying to them.

Not everything is as simple as some furry fetish body with no clothes.

Layers should be separate attachments, to reduce polycount, anyway. Appliers are a pain to deal with when creating your own textures, due to no preview. And no-mod completely removes the ability to introduce custom scripts.

>>22886

This is basically the right of it.

Most SL users given the ability to mod something directly will fuck it up in about 5 minutes. Now imagine this with something that has enough of an install base that half of all female AVs use it.

Listening in on the product support channel for a popular thing that is mod enabled is enough to make you wanna reach for the Scotch, now imagine it's your job to troubleshoot this shit.

Maybe a pro version that is mod, but comes with no support for it, could be supplied.

>>22919

People would use it thinking they were getting 'more' and demand support for it. Yes. People are that stupid.

>>22922

People are dumb, but you can say no to them in that case, thankfully. And I know Maitreya at least has customer support representatives that handle that crap for them.
