Actually, I just realized where I was getting confused. I had purchased the Bliss Hoodie after the changeover, once I lost my characters. The eyes have the expression I use, Suspicious, but I cannot change the iris or eyebrow color. I kept reapplying the Bliss Hoodie and would get stuck with this color arrangement. Is that normal for Bliss Hoodie or should I be able to change the coloring on my face while wearing the hoodie? My eyes are blue and eyebrows are orange.
You know what, I think it was me not understanding something. The migration from UWP to GDK did break about half of the presaved characters, but to be fair I do not spend a lot of time in the character creation. Testing further this morning, I think I misunderstood the Base Skins section. Another issue I had with the inability to change hair or iris color palettes seems to be working today (though yesterday I know it would 100% not let me change colors on various items). I did lose my original configuration files from the UWP folder path so unfortunately those characters are gone, but I was able to find my worlds at least and back them up before I performed the uninstall/cleanup/reinstall.
You can leave this ticket in resolved/closed status. I appreciate your time.
It seems even without outerwear, I can change my iris and sclera colors, but not the eyebrows. If I equip any hoodie, or I suppose outerwear that goes over the head, my eyes revert to a blue and orange coloring for eyes and eyebrows that cannot be changed.
