Plan around the tricky part

Plan your three colours before purchasing. In the Steam submission discussion, a player reported three shades being counted as only two; another suggested checking the shop colour filters. Use the categories and live counter as your reference.

If the colour condition is complete but the hand-in button is absent, stop replacing fabric and inspect the construction. The same discussion includes overlooked cuts and pieces that reappeared after a normal save, quit and reload.

Before you hand it over

  1. Compare the active request with the garment’s colour, material and style indicators.
  2. Check that the intended pattern set has been cut, fitted and sewn.
  3. Review any specifically requested accessories separately from the fabric.
  4. If the submission action is missing, use the missing-button checklist before buying replacement materials.
