New feature: Saved Looks

For the last few weeks your complete look —vanity + wardrobe customizations together— has been stored each time you change it (as long as you had it for more than 5 minutes). Now, each of those looks is available to you for fast-switching from the Imagination Menu (bottom left: "Your Looks").

The changes appear both to you and to other players much quicker than they are when creating a new look from the vanity/wardrobe (because all the data is already available on the servers) but it still takes a moment to show up everywhere.

So, store your birthday suit, some spooky favorites and your Sunday best to impress your friends — your friends are easily impressed, right? You can remove any looks you don't want to keep so your list is whittled down to the best versions of each outfit.

Note: "Your Looks" has taken the place of the key ring in the imagination menu. So, the key ring is now only available from your magic rock (see "House Keys" on the Rock's menu) and the "Player Menu" (the thing you get when you click on your face; hotkey "z") . We are considering other places for this in the long run.

[Edited to add] Note 2: In the long run, this will replace the "saved outfits" feature because it is about 10x more awesome than saved outfits. If there are outfits you love in looks that have not been saved, consider giving them a wear.

  • Great idea for the looks, even though I've not switched mine in a long while...however, the removal of being able to access keys when we're not at home is huge step back...when I want to jump from a dead end to a friend's street to harvest, I'm now not able.  Please make a better decision for the long run really quickly!!

  • Hmm. Gotta say it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me to have to go to my home street just to give someone a key.
    Posted 6 months ago by Pascale Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Great idea, especially for those that like to 'change it up' now and then.
    (glad it only saved what you had on for 5mins or more, I think I might have tried on a dress or two by accident)

  • What happens if you have a bunch of saved sub-only looks, but your sub runs out? Do you lose all your previous saved looks?

  • I like the saved looks but absolutely strongly dislike not having the keys in IMG menu...
    Posted 6 months ago by Cabinwood Subscriber! | Permalink
  • So now I have to go home before I can go visit a friend whom I have a key for. Which do you think someone is going to want to do more often. Use a key or change cloths. For me the key is my first option. Nice to do quick change of clothes but at expense of key then no thank you. Sorry :(

  • Thank you!  While this is a GREAT feature....we really need the "Keys" back...somewhere...well, i mean on the iMG menu....lol...not the rock. :)
    Posted 6 months ago by im4noles2 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hey, wait a minute!!! Now I can't go to my friend's houses from anywhere in the world. I have to go home first to get the keys????? That sucks.
    Posted 6 months ago by Sunny Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Pretty meh about the saved looks...it's great for those that switch around a lot, but I don't tend to do that.  It's a nice feature, but I'd rather have my keys back.  I'm exceptionally not happy about not having my keys, especially to friends' houses, with me at all times. Please figure out how to get my keys back in the iMG menu or the drop down menu sooner than soon!  Since we're limited to only 5 names on a signpost, not all of my friends can have my other friends on their signposts, so I have to use the keys regularly to visit their streets for my harvesting routes.  Having to go home first to get to jump to their street is going to be a royal pain.

  • why can't the key ring be placed at the right of the go home cloud? or that space is already for other things? ;)
    Posted 6 months ago by mira gaia maia Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I have word drop down menu key is on its way :)
    Posted 6 months ago by Misha Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yep, it'll be in the "Player Menu" (the thing you get when you click on your face; hotkey "z") right underneath the "Friends" item in a few moments.
    Posted 6 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Guys, the keys you have will WORK anywhere. But if you want to issue a NEW key, you'll have to consult with your Magic Rock. 

    Which I think is inconvenient.
    Posted 6 months ago by Pascale Subscriber! | Permalink
  • People, people. Relax. It's only key management you lose. Not key access. There's no keyring to take with you to get into your friend's home. Just, if you want to give a new person a key, or if you want to revoke one, for now you need to be at your magic rock. (Which, imho, is only inconvenient if you change keyholders a lot.)

  • Thanks Stoot I love how you guys do actually listen to the feed back. That is two rethinks in a day thank you :D

    EDIT what's the chances of having it tuther way round, keys in IMG menu and clothes in drop down..just saying :P

    feel free to call me an ungrateful glitch lol
    Posted 6 months ago by Misha Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ungrateful Glitch.
    Posted 6 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Not that it's THAT big of a deal but could we not have this switched around? Since Vanity and Wardrobe are already in our drop down, why can't Looks be there too and keys on our iMG page? It just makes more sense to me.

  •  stoot :O I'm a paying customer, it the customer not always right lol :P

    can also no longer go X-K :(

  • I guess I should have asked for money!!!
    Posted 6 months ago by Misha Subscriber! | Permalink
  • If the key menu is going to stay off the Player Menu, could you possibly add some keystroke off the Player Menu to bring up the key menu so that the key menu can be brought up with a series of keystrokes alone (like it was possible to do before with x-k)?
    Posted 6 months ago by Robert Butler Subscriber! | Permalink
  • nevermind - found the menu option

  • I like it just fine, however we have to execute it!
    Posted 6 months ago by Mollie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thank you for this! I didn't want to play with my wardrobe & vanity because I couldn't save the combined look, but now I feel free to do so.

  • this is amazing! I love that it only takes like 15 seconds to swap not only my clothes but my features too!!?! Badass.

  • For those that didn't understand the key issue...you can jump to a friend's street using the key menu.  It wasn't about being able to get into their houses or 'key management'.  Many of us use the key menu to jump to friends' streets quickly from other locations.

    TS, thanks for providing a better solution so quickly!  I feel much better having my keys with me all the time...

    BTW...upgrades on Saturday?!  You guys sure are putting in the hours!  Thanks!!

  • hmmm i'm a paying customer too and i use the "looks" feature way more then the keyring - so can we please let all as it is!
    Posted 6 months ago by Sad Diablo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Presto-change-o, better-o! :D

  • "It wasn't about being able to get into their houses or 'key management'.  Many of us use the key menu to jump to friends' streets quickly from other locations."

    Yes, and the key ring UI is a pretty terrible way to do this (mostly b/c it relies on someone else giving you a key in order for you to get  the shortcut). Later, there will be better ways to create shortcuts to other players' home streets.

  • ahh...gotcha...thanks stoot...will be looking forward to that change, as i see what b3achy means though (is more convenient having them with us).....at first i thought i had to go outside each time to get my keys....but both rocks (front and back) have them.  Thanks! :)

    Posted 6 months ago by Sonneratti's Ghost Subscriber! | Permalink
  • im4noles2: you can also press "z" to open the player menu and get at your keys from there. (You don't need to be at your house at all.)

  • This is going to make "Where's Bruce?" even better for non-subscribers who chose subscriber-only vanity options during the free trial phase, because they'll be able to Bruce themselves up without losing access to their now-lapsed subscriber options! Yay!

    I know you did this just for Bruce.

  • Too many wardrobe options, some of which I don't want to wear again but I had to scroll through many to get to one I liked.  It would be better if it only had the outfits I have already saved or if I could remove outfits from it to make it easier to find what I want to wear.  I change outfits often.  I do not want to wear what I just wore.

    I use the key ring much more than I use Wardrobe because I use the Wardrobe before entering the game.

    The change went smoothly but when I changed the 2nd time (back to my original outfit) I had a Flash crash and had to reload.  Flash is a whole nother problem (sorry about that - VERY sorry).

  • It would be cool if holding down the left or right arrow in the Looks screen let you scroll through your various options. I mean rather than having to click each time.
    Posted 6 months ago by Sirentist Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I have hoped for being able to save our vanities. But to be able to save the whole look is above and beyond what I hoped for. Thank you. :)
