@SqueamishNerd I think the developers have understood exactly what the problem is. Just undo the changes they made before Lovestruck. The problem is the eyelashes, which have been requested by vanilla players. Eyelashes can no longer be removed, as that would cause an uproar, so the developers are stuck. The only solution is to find another way of adding eyelashes without modifying the eyes, and I don't think that's possible.
But I still don't understand, why the developers had to touch the eyes in the first place? CC Creators were able to make tons of eyelashes without touching the eyeshape. Why is it different for these official lashes??
That really puzzles my mind...
@MissLjupka They could have done the same, but instead they created a special category compatible with glasses, which modifies the eyes. The cc’s creators eyelashes cannot be used with glasses, which is why the eyes are not modified.
@DoublePlusBon Thank you for the explanation. 🙂 Maybe I'm too dumb to understand, but couldn't they have just made a seperate, new category for the lashes and create the lashes a similar way as CC creators?
I mean, they were able to make a new category for nailpolish without messing up the hands. Very odd.
I'm no CC Creator so I don't have a clue how these things work.

I'm not entirely sure if they've understood the part about us wanting them to go back exactly to how the eyes used to look like. Right now it feels like they're trying to change the eyes and animations to work with the eyelashes rather than the other way around, fix the eyelashes to work with the eyes and animations. Either way, it's still good to have pictures that show exactly what changed between the different updates.

As far as I've understood, there were two reasons why CC creators' eyelashes weren't (and in some cases still aren't) compatible with either glasses or accessories:
- There wasn't a designated place on the UV map to put eyelashes
- There wasn't a designated CAS category to put eyelashes in
When there wasn't a designated place to put eyelashes on the UV map, CC creators had to use a place on the UV map that was already designated for something else, for example glasses. What EA did was to add a designated place for eyelashes on the UV map. (Since some CC creators' eyelashes took up a bigger space than the new designated place, their eyelashes still conflict with glasses or accessories.) The UV map doesn't cause any changes to the shape of the eyes, the only thing the UV map does is to "paint" the 3D model.
