Tailor Bug Vines Pattern on Jackets missing

[Cryptek_Fashionista]

On make Jackets option, the vine pattern on bare and bare smooth don't show up at all, even though it can be selected. On sleeveless jackets it works fine.

Afraid that's not a bug - the bare skin of the biceps is part of the 'Short Sleeve' option for Jackets (same with the Classic Steampunk 1 option). Sleeves are entirely separate pieces rather than additions to the base model, which is why there's a thin 'seam' on the forearm just below the elbow. Essentially they're like the Robotic Arms, just matched to the material and style of the Jackets they're themed with. Given how the Retro Sleeve option exposes a clear expanse of empty space on Female models I'm pretty sure there isn't an actual upper arm under any of the full length Sleeve options anyway (like how the Pants options don't have actual legs in them, and just extend down and over the choice of Boots. It's really apparent when you use invisibility/fading powers).

 

 

So when the Live Devs finally did need a short sleeve option, they had to made 'fake' biceps for it since there was no existing model geometry for them given the way they'd designed all the prior Sleeve options. It was either an extensive, inordinately time consuming overhaul of the entire format for one costume choice or quickly putting something together that mostly works for what they needed, and since the Short Sleeve option was primarily made for human police officer/security guard NPC models they were just defaulted to the base 'Bare Skin,' linked to the Skin Color choice, and sent out.

 

TL;DR - it's unfortunately working as intended, due to the limitations of a really old costume creator and the design decisions/schedule of the Live Devs
