☢️ PartFlags - An unhinged rant.

I've finally lost my patience with this game and these nonsensical PartFlags.

Goth Galore watered and SpeedyGro fertilized (hi Palians) that little sprout I keep trying to hide away in the dark recesses of mine mind.

I'M GOING TO OVERRIDE THIS WRETCHED GAME!

It's the nonsensical Fashion Choice flags.

It's the missing Allow For Random flags, which I despise on Custom Content but I'm fine with on EAxis content.

IT'S THE INCESSANT !@#$ING USE OF Restrict Opposite Gender AND Restrict Opposite Frame FLAGS!

WHAT THE !@#$, EAxis?!

Take the Base Game female Star Wars' Vader, Luke and Maul costumes for example - and these are mild examples - you'd think they're for Female Sims using Feminine Fashion or Feminine Frame sims using Feminine Fashion, right?

WRONG, they're ALL MASCULINE FASHION ONLY for FEMALE SIMS ONLY, no male/feminine trans-frame sims like mine need apply. Nah, I get the male mesh that's gonna !@#$ with my sim's body because my sim has a feminine frame!

Whomever is tasked with flagging these things either doesn't understand how the meshes in this game work OR they're doing it intentionally.

I still remember 2022 (2021?) PRIDE and EAxis Restricting the nails. ALL THE NAILS, okay maybe not all the nails, BUT ALL THE !@#$ING NAILS! It took them MONTHS to fix the "fix" they themselves did post-release.

THE NAILS WERE FINE, okay maybe not all fine, they were duplicated because EAxis doesn't understand their own PartFlags, so what they did to "fix" it resulted in trans-frame sims like mine with broken opposite-frame nails or no nails at all!

I'm going to make a bug report on AHQ when I'm done with the first part of this. I don't expect EAxis will actually officially fix any of these things but I'll play along.
