Really enjoying the current gameplay loop with the cooking and badges and stuff. Still a long way to go for this game in terms of polish and features, but I'm sure you'll get there! I've outlined a few of the most glaring issues/bugs below:

The mesh penetration of clothing is so apparent, and is practically unavoidable. I've had to take everything off of my characters because the clothing clips so much. I'm thinking some sort of culling system would be beneficial - hiding body geometry that isn't visible under clothing.

The arms, despite your efforts to tweak the intervals at which they rise, still clip into your character. I think due to the bespoke nature of the character creator, the better solution would be a procedural animation that dynamically raises the arms as opposed to hard coded intervals since there can be so many shapes and sizes for your character. One size can't fit all.

The UI overhaul has been for the most part great, although on stuff like the cookbook a lot of the images are squished.

Character creation can be *really* buggy. Colours resetting, HEX values not persisting, exporting only exporting a half finished version of the character, belly buttons making huge dents in clothing, the list could go on. It's insane that you even managed to create a character creator like this in the first place considering you're fairly new to game dev, so I commend you for that. There's just a long way to go in terms of polishing it, but I'm sure you know that already. More customisation options and features would be great <3

Some proportions can cause really weird shapes. One of my citizens has gained a lot in the way of thighs, however her love-handles are completely squished flat. Like they've been put under a hydraulic press. The Sassy Ass perk anims can also cause some weird distortion on larger legs/hips.

I wish there was a way to edit the characters *properly* after initial creation as opposed to having to create a whole new citizen. You can go back and edit clothing, sure - but sometimes you'll create a character and realise you made a mistake with their face, or their skin tone, or proportions, and there's simply no way to fix it after the fact. I get you've done the Doctor and workout mechanic to remove weight from body parts, but this isn't a real solution for messing up something in character creation. Perhaps allow the player to buy a mirror which unlocks full character customisation at any time?

Lastly, I'd love a sandbox mode of sorts. Just to have unlimited money and maybe some fun cheats to play around with. It's not much, but it would be great for when you don't want to spend time on the grind.

I'm sure you know of most of these issues and hear these kinds of requests all the time, but I thought I'd throw some feedback into the ring in one collected comment, as this game rocks and has so much potential in terms of features and overall polish. Hope some of these things can be worked out! :>

P.S. the feedback button in-game doesn't work. Had to get to this page manually ;)
