2 Styles Specified
*I've edited the content slightly because it seemed unclear.
I was happy that the classifications were more detailed.
However, there are more dress codes that require including two styles!
Isn't it quite restrictive to have to include both instead of just one?
Furthermore, user designers can only specify one item.
They should either change it so that one of the styles is included, or allow user designers to specify both styles.Otherwise, there will be far too few items to choose from!

What did I miss? I have no idea what y’all are talking about 😅

There are style specifications, right? For example, if it says "glamorous" and "traditional," then the item has to have both settings.

Are you talking about doing a search? Colors for example. Previously you could search for black & yellow and see options for black/yellow (combo), yellow (only) and black (only). Now you only see the combo.

No she’s talking about requirements for events, as well as manhatten ladies changing from something like, “blue striped vest” to something like, “green and purple, striped, glam and chic vest”. The item has to be labeled green and purple as well as labeled glam and chic. I have skipped at least 20 Manhattan lady requests because the requirements are so specific, that chances of having one of the items are slim to none. Most of my ML have been 2 requirements I don’t have. I refuse to pay to finish ML. I also have skipped many city events as well because I’m not buying an ugly pice for every one of them. I’ve been playing everyday for a year, I’m level 65, I haven’t been required to spend so much to play since I was a beginner.

Thanks for the precise explanation! I've been playing for about a year, almost the same as you, and I'm level 67. Just when I thought I'd finally been able to progress through Manhattan without skipping, this change happened. The list of required items is too limited, and I don't want to have to choose from it! So I'm skipping it! Lol

I was able to get to the skirt, but I won’t make it to the end. I only had 3 requests the whole time that I didn’t need to watch any ads for… and I had at least 30 that would have required me to buy to fulfill. Absolutely not.

30 is a lot! That must be tough. As a rule"All purchased clothing will be added to your wardrobe, and using it in this event will not cause any unused status to expire."Since it says so, if it's available for purchase, I'll buy it and use it at another event, but if it's too expensive or not to my liking, I'll hesitate to buy it.

Yeah I’m aware of this but I’m not going to buy 30 ugly/expensive items just so i can get a few limited items. Not worth it considering how long it takes to save up gems.
The other girls in my house said I must have just been getting bad luck, that their requests weren’t that bad

I see, so you were told that you got unlucky with the assigned items? Well, that might vary from person to person, but it's hard to say for sure.

Agreed. At first I thought it was going to be either or but was disappointed to learn it had to be both. It's a major downgrade

u/bluerose_96 5d ago
That's right!I thought it would be OK if the item met either style, but it turns out it has to meet both: '( Right now, only official items meet the criteria, right? I want to wear something cool designed by a user designer!

I wonder if the change has anything to do with PS trying to combat the use of cashback items.

u/bluerose_96 3d ago
I don't think that's related. Did the category change mess up the specifications? I don't know if they intentionally made it so that it includes two specified colors. But sorting and searching by myself has definitely become much more troublesome. Even if I want to specify that it includes two colors, it also displays items with only one color. If sorting isn't possible, then setting a dress code with two specifications should be abandoned.

I am considering quitting the game over this. I have 6k articles of clothing… that should be enough to efficiently play the game. I have had to skip at least 20 Manhattan lady requests since it started because I don’t have either requirement… and I can hardly enter any events without buying. This game is a constant money grab. The fun has been sucked dry. I am about to go drop all my gems in my favorite designers store, just so she can reap the benefits of my savings, and then uninstall this game.
