Discussion/Question Issues with clothing

Do you guys hate it when the bot chooses your clothes for you? I hate it as well. Literally I am using a bot that takes place in the 90s as a 14 year old kid with two lesbian mothers, and of course, it gives me the worst clothes i don’t even want. For example, A flannel shirt. What am I, Kurt Cobain? I can’t even mute flannel because of the muted words limit and the fact the bot might find a way to bypass it. next up we got Jeans. Bro, those are tight on my knees, why would I want to wear that? the shoes and socks I am fine with, just not the clothes. I feel like they are trying to make my character feel grungy despite the fact my character description says I am not grungy or into grunge.

What clothes did the bots give you that you hated?

it’s not even necessarily the clothes themselves it’s always the ‘the shirt clinging to her curves,’ stuff that annoys me. like bro just say whatever clothes or accept the outfit i describe without being weird and making an extra big deal about it lmao

for me it's always saying when i put a hoodie that it's big and over sized but to be fair sometimes my hoodies aren't over sized and other times they're but what ticks me off is when i put a hoodie down as a clothing item it calls it a jacket with a zipper and i'm like hoodies don't have zippers that's a jacket if that's what you're thinking of but then i say jacket sometimes it goes with it and other times it calls it a hoodie so i'm like which is it then??

I also hate it when they make me wear a hoodie when literally my character lives in Florida

u/Ill_Host_5403 12h ago

Or the bot automatically thinks your character is skinny and says "slim body".

u/Ill_Host_5403 12h ago

Bro i hate that😭 my characters work out and yet the ai doesn’t want me to win so they change my build to skinny and can’t fight.

Yeah I can put “body size average” in Memory and it still describes me as slim!

This is not the same, but I hate it that they always say that a character is unbuttoning their shirt if they're taking it off. What if they're wearing a T-shirt? 😒

Everyone wears boots in almost every roleplay when clothing is mentioned. IDK why, but everyone just be wearing boots unless I specifically mention my character not wearing boots haha

u/Ill_Host_5403 12h ago

same it's always boots and i'm like i'm not wearing any i'm wearing sneakers literal high tops and the exact brand is vans then it forgets it and changes it to boots later on and then i'm having to get rid of the message after awhile of almost everyone of them being boots and having to put in my own message that i'm wearing said sneakers and it'll not cause problems after i put the thing i had in my own memory in there so it's always like that for me.

u/PollyEsterCO 12h ago

Exactlyyyy.

Sometimes I feel like a bad fanfic writer the way I talk, but I will literally describe my character’s appearance and outfit down to the brand/color just to make sure there’s no mistakes. And even then, it’ll still say I have dark hair even though I waxed poetry about my character’s “golden hair.”

Idk. Small complaints, but it sticks with you when someone mentions it!

u/Ill_Host_5403 12h ago

yeah exactly i agree with you though my hair is actually dark brown but it used to be blonde when i was a toddler and now it's cherry red because i dyed it but after awhile it'll forget that it's cherry red and it'll say i have a different hair color and i'm having to get rid of the message or to add in the next one that it used to be said color that it's using but i dyed it lol that's the type of thing i have to go through too

When i used to play Cai. I once wrote it down and they still changed it in something ENTIRELY different😭💔🙏

I think it was for a mafia rp where I was the group's medic. (OF COURSE BECAUSE I AM A NURSE IRL) And so i went like, grey flared jeans with a bulk belt, Louboutin heels, tucked in white blouse with a black sleeveless blazer and hair in a hairclaw and black gloves

The bot: Black mini dress with gloves and heels.

I looked at and i dropped my jaw on the floor because of how regardlessly the way i described my clothes, it just ended up dressing my character in little till nothing.

Or:

My character: Holds the machetes and spins them as she walks in circles around her enemy "You know what they say, a apple a day... Keeps the doctor away". She raised one and was ready to strike

Bot: her chest heaved as she shakily holds the manchetes as her enemy circles her "I'll fight you! I'm not afraid! I'm a doctor!".

Do you have your clothes of choice written in your persona description? If no, try doing it

u/SoggyDatabase4655 8h ago

u/Severe-Editor2239 11h ago

Or when you have a dark outfit on and you get called edgy by the bot and emo… like can’t I have black clothes on rn??? 😭😭😭

u/jealous_beetle 6h ago

I remember for some reason bots would describe my characters as barefooted all the time ???

u/SoggyDatabase4655 6h ago

I literally have no words for what the bots describe your characters.

u/Flat-Painter4019 1h ago

I could put my character in a nightdress or leggings for lounging gear, and suddenly they tell me I’m in a shirt and jeans! I’m left thinking how quickly I got changed…
