Costume Changes & Paintie Rule Revamp
Posted by Staff on 21 Nov 2016, 12:41 am
Hey there my busy little beta bees! I've come around again with a couple little news announcements for you so please bear with me.
Costume Changes
First up we have some exciting news about Costumes, they will no longer be restricted to the original 6 species! Costumes can now be applied to any of the common species on site so everyone can enjoy the Career Buffs that come along with applying a costume to your Villager. While most species do not have images available now, they may at some point in the future. So if an image becomes available for the species/costume combo on your Villager you will be allowed to convert to that image if you like. You will just need to contact [email protected] with the request.
Paintie Rule Revamp
Second bit of news is that we have made a few tweaks to the Paintie rules to prepare for the site to open and to reflect the change I was just talking about above. Please be sure to do a thorough read through and get familiar with the changes we've made! I know that it's a lot to look through but we appreciate you all taking the time to work with us on this so we can help you keep creating and collecting all those amazing Painties.
Highlights
-Costumed Villagers can now use any (non-limited) base that is available for the species.
-Costume base pieces may be used on any species as long as the Villager has that costume applied.
-Human traits on Painties are now judged with a numeric threshold.
-Prohibited content has been edited to reflect language standards currently being used for the forums and a Profanity tag has been added for those that wish to block these types of Painties.
-The use of downloaded brushes is allowed but proof must be provided that they can be used for commercial purposes.
**the full wording for these rules can be found on the Paintie Rules page**
Thank you for reading and we hope that you all will be happy with the changes we've made!

@Admin-Mateusz
Has the costume change come into effect yet? Or is it still being rolled out? I tried to equip a costume to my Gembound in the Doctor career but I don't have the option yet.
There's a slight error in the grammar of the Painties Rules post!
You have the contraction of "it is" instead of the possessive pronoun "its" here:
Example: Do not use an Aquatic Costume base or any of it’s parts if your Villager has a Spooky Costume applied, use only a Spooky Costume base or it’s parts.
@Admin-Mateusz Great! Just wanted to be sure since that would be super confusing if not.
Winchester There is a warning that comes up when you go to apply the costume when the Villager will not have a Costumed image.
This makes costumes so much more desirable now, thank you. I might have to start crafting some costumes again to give to a few of my villagers.
But if they have a paintie can they equip them since the base wont change??? I'd like getting some buffs but mine already have painties on...
I hope that you've implemented a warning before applying costumes to villager species who don't have costume artwork yet or else that's going to probably cause some very....unfortunate confusions.
Oh man, costumes not restricted to just 6 species anymore :O
and I was just considering morphing a villager in order to use a costume, now I don't have to :D
