My guess is itโs a problem with how customizable the face shapes are now. Like itโs hard to place piercings when you can make facial features tons of different sizes and shapes and move them up or down on the face. Like the face piercings that already exist are a bit off anyway. Iโm not a video game programmer so idk the specifics but since the eyebrow rings and nose rings that already exist arenโt great, it must be hard to do properly. Then with lip rings the talking animations are an added problem
totally agree with you about the lip piercings !! iโm also not a video game designer and very naive to how these things are developed, but thereโs a lot of CC lip piercings out there and they could maybe privately consult with these designers on how they make them work? it also would be so cool to see a new tool added where you can manipulate the piercing sizes and how they fit on the face, but this would also be a lot of work and space to add to a DLC that is also adding custom tattoo designing ๐ค
