"self illumination" use or don't use?

I don't really mind one way or another but if you're against it, I recommend doing as Celyng said and just testing different rooms with different lighting when trying on a new outfit before you buy it in the client shopping tab. That should keep you from buying something you won't like if it glows in a room. You'd know what you were buying and getting yourself into.

Personally, I think it can be really cute if it's done right and I've done it a few times myself when going for a particular effect.

Even though I have the VIP on this account, I started trying rooms and then trying clothing or whatever in order to see what the item I want to buy looks like (darker or lighter room - depends on what I'm looking at to buy). I've been doing this for quite some time now (I use it quite often on my other 2 accounts that don't have the VIP).

The only time I hate illumination is when I'm trying to find blonde hair - some blonde hairs look better illuminated, but to me most look worse illuminated.

As for clothing, it depends upon what color the clothing is as to whether or not illumination bothers me.

I think with dev's it just depends whether they go in dark rooms alot, I myself don't and I hate blonde hair in darkrooms self-illuminating or not. I just wear red or pink in them rooms.

I personally don't like glowing stuff, and never make it myself - but I don't want other devs to stop. I know a lot of rave people that would be very sad without their glow. But for me, no way, really don't like it at ALL. So I had to learn the hard way to load some dark and ambient rooms in the shop before I buy anything. You never know how something will look outside of that dressing room till you try it out!

I would say that it is a matter of opinion and what you like for yourself. We all have different tastes and should not say I hate this or would never, or don't ever or will not ever. That turns off many potential customers reading comments in the forums. I for one make what I like and if others like it I am thrilled and always grateful for each and every sale. You cannot please the masses just do what you like and want and the rest is a blessing.

I don't use it and don't THINK I ever have, not purposely anyway.

I like it on some items and not on others. It is just personal taste.

now room foggers I despise.

Most of the time self illumination doesnt bother me. Alot of times its used for its intended purpose like lights and shiny stuff. The only time it bothers me is when my hair glows in a dark room. Like I used radioactive shampoo or something o.0
