EdB Prepare Carefully

VAE Accessory compatibility
Are there any plans to allow for more customisable accessory equipment? Gloves and Boots from Vanilla Apparel/Armor expanded aren't currently supported by Prepare Carefully's Pawn creator, and they can greatly improve the starting experience.

To be clear, it is possible to have a pawn start with these kinds of equipment, but at the cost of another vital piece of clothing. If I recall correctly, you can have a pawn start with boots at the expense of a Flak Vest. Obviously this isn't ideal. It would be excellent if it were possible to allow for advanced Pawn editing, where users can add clothing to individual body parts where appropriate.

After doing a fair amount of my own modding, I've found that this happens because Prepare Carefully only has 1 "Onskin", "Middle", and "Shell" layer, meaning that multiple items that cover different parts of the body, but share the same layer aren't able to be equipped at the same time from the get-go.

An 'advanced' pawn editor could potentially allow users to add or remove extra layers of a certain type, such as adding an extra "Middle" layer for [thisitem] and an extra "Middle" layer for [thatitem].

Just a suggestion, but couldn't you put those items in the drop pod at the Scenario Editor part, so that way you get them anyway?

You can, but if you're starting with say a colony of 20, it takes a long time to equip all of the accessories. It would be a lot easier (and flavourful) to spawn with them already equipped, that's what Prepare Carefully is about.
