I love the concept of this mod, and how it tries to do the job of 5-6 different mods in one, but I've ultimately decided to stop using it because the bugs and behaviour were getting annoying.


1) items are selected by mousing over them: So you can click on item 1, but if you mouse over item 2 while closing the menu, the character will say it is using item 1 but will show item 2

2) Vanishing parts in previews: When putting items on characters, random other items will vanish. They are still there and if you exit the character editor they come back, but it makes matching up outfit pieces difficult at times. The most common one for me is the left arm disappearing when I am dressing the right arm.

3) Weapon colours randomly revert to default: The default weapon colour in my game is a pretty boring tan/khaki kind of shade, but for my current campaign I decided to give all my troops a black and purple theme, so the first thing I do when dressing them up is flip weapon colour to purple. The problem is that sometimes characters will load into squad select and all their weapons have reverted to the default. This seems to happen most frequently after starting up XCOM 2 and l loading a saved. Just exiting to menu and loading a save from there isn't as problematic as closing the game and coming back

4) Hair - Helm conflicts: Sometimes hair goes through helmets, sometimes helmets completely eliminate the hair. This seems to be most common for me with various styles of dreadlocks. It's fairly minor, but putting a helmet on one of my troops with deadlocks, then taking it off to find out they are bald or have a buzz cut is annoying because of the next point...

5) Item lists take forever to populate, and seem to have to reload the entire item list every time you change an item: So I have over 400 clothing options for my troops, and whenever I open the menu for any given body part, I have to sit for a minute or two while Dollhouse loads them all. Prior to Dollhouse, the outfit list would take awhile to load the options, but once it had loaded them once, it was quick to switch between options. When going between menus, like say from arms to legs, the leg menu populates, and I pick an option, decide to change the arms, and now the arm list has to reload everything as if I never loaded it before. Perhaps the menus are trying to save memory by not keeping the outfit options in ram, but I'd rather just load every item into memory and be able to go through them quickly than constantly be clearing and reloading the stack. Maybe that's just me because I'm more limited with processing speed than I am with working memory on this old computer, but my specs far exceed those needed for the maximum settings of the game, I shouldn't have to wait a minute or two for my outfit lists to constantly reload when before Dollhouse, everything was extremely fast.

The long loading time for cosmetics, coupled with the randomly vanishing parts, and items being selected by hovering over them instead of clicking on them, all combine into a frustrating experience of a mod with a fantastic concept and fairly nice overall design.
