i have an idea to expand the clothing variability on the villagers. i'm not sure how easy the implementation would be, but it shouldn't be too terribly difficult.

in vv1 and 2, the villager is made up of several peices that work together to make a whole villager. Currently the villager has a body, and a head, two different images on transparent backgrounds. my idea is to make the villager 3 peices - head, torso, and legs.

there could be 15 torsos, and 15 sets of legs per gender.
even tho here are only 15 tops and 15 bottoms, it creates the possibility of 225 different outfits-per gender. women's dresses could have belts to help hide the bisection.

the clothing hut could charge per top and per bottom, leaving it still expensive to reoutfit a villager, but making it much more interesting and worth the tech points.
