1. UI / UX issues on PC UI:
The process to try dyes on PC UI goes like this:
Click the color 2. Drag mouse all the way to the other side of the screen 3. Click the slot to apply. 4. Repeat for each color you want to try (click-drag-click-drag-click-drag... > dozens of times per session)... 5. Get or exacerbate a repetitive stress injury.

When testing a lot of different dyes in various slots, all those click-drag-clicks add up. The “set fill" & other existing tools do NOT help with this. Changing to Gamepad UI is also not a solution.

Potential solution:
Pre-select the slots you want to change, then click colors to fill all of the selected slots, instantly & simultaneously.
Example: if I wanted to change the green body slot in the screenshot above, I’d just click that to select it, then click dyes individually to fill it. No dragging the mouse back and forth 1000x.

2. Previewing locked dyes:
We have to use PTS just to preview dyes: example. Why not allow previewing on Live, just like we can with locked armor and weapon styles? It would motivate more players who don’t use the PTS to go for Achievements.

OP:

Those are the main two issues that have made it a pain (sometimes literally) for years.

    agreed!

    other improvements i wish for:
    - Hide for all outfit pieces.

    - Tassets and Loincloths as outfit pieces separately from Chests and Legs.

    - more dye channels! so many styles have undyeable things like fur or feathers.

    - backpacks and wings as separate outfit pieces.
    miaow! i'm Luna ( she/her ).

    I’ve been wondering why we can’t preview locked dyes. I’m not an achievement chaser but if I knew the perfect dye for an outfit was hiding behind a certain achievement it might encourage me to complete it.

    Yes, undyeable slots are frustrating, especially if there are two of them on one piece.

    yes yay! ♥
    also hope the user interface will be improved yea.

    adding onto my wishes
    - the option to choose a different style for Left and Right.
    for hands, arms, feet.
    And Apostle legs.

    it would be so nice to have Apostle or Arkthzand Armory styles for only one side, to be like prosthetic limbs for your character.
    And having 2 different gloves is cool too.

    A couple of additions from players elsewhere (TBC...)

    Good ideas from Reddit:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/TESOfashion/comments/1qa0ysh/improvements_to_the_outfit_station_in_2026/

    I always wish for a lock too! –
    I wish we had "lock this style/color" option when randomizing so that we only roll for pieces we want to change.

    ...Camera a bit more customizable and/or lighting. Like zooming out a bit more. There are many times that I have to turn my character in a particular way or sheathe the weapons to be able to see the top of certain weapons.

    Also I would like to see that ALL motifs were able to be previewed, now there are many that can't even be seen in the outfit station. [...]

    I would also make it easier to find out another characters style or "transfer" and save the information of styles and dyes. I like to document what my characters outfits when I change their style so I can look back at how my style has changed and can also replicate it at a later date. Rather than having to post a picture to r/TESOfashion asking the fashion experts which motifs and dyes were used you can just interact with the player character and find out or just export the information so you can share your own look with others.

    Another vote for better lighting from Dreamer on Discord:
    Proper Lighting at all outfit stations. Summerset is great for example, but the one in West Weald during the day is in shadows and so so dark...
    Although we can build our own well-lit dressing rooms, we can't switch out Companions in homes, so (among others,) players who change Companions' outfits a lot are still using town stations. It'd be worthwhile to make those better.
