So it’s fun to dress up not-cats, right? And it’s also fun to dress them in season specific clothing. You know what’s not fun? Having to go through and change every cat’s outfit to match the season. With a possible 250 not-cats belonging to a village (including travelling, but travelling not-cats still need outfits), that becomes a very time-consuming endeavour.

What I’m proposing is the ability to assign not-cats multiple outfits according to sets of categories. My current proposal is just seasonal categories but an alternative could be custom categories.

In the dress up page there could be a button/drop down for making a new outfit for that not-cat. The default would be making a permanent outfit for a cat, like how it is now, but if you wanted to you could go select which season/category you want to make an outfit for.

Haven’t quite thought of where the village outfit toggle would actually be; it could go on the profile page, but I think a better placement would be somewhere on the Cats page; either under Player’s Cats, or under the bottom page numbers, or somewhere in that realm.
It could say something like “Toggle Village Outfits” and you could select which season you want to switch your village’s outfits to. All of the not-cats that have an outfit set for that season would switch over to that outfit after a page reload, making it a lot easier to change what cats are wearing for lore/immersion purposes.

What would happen to clothes assigned to an unworn outfit?
I’ve thought of two options:
1. The clothing is used just like a worn outfit and taken out of the inventory. The only downside is that when it’s not being worn it’s functionally invisible and easy to lose track of who has what.
2. The clothing remains in the inventory but is unable to be used or sold (sort of like safekeeping but still in inventory) and has a symbol/signifier that it’s in use in an unworn outfit.

That sums up the thoughts I have in my head atm, may edit as things become clearer.

Any sort of collaborative thought or suggestion is welcome!!

Maybe we could have something like making outfit sets that are editable and equitable? So that it would be much faster to change into different sets of clothing.
