[Gallagher]

for clarification's sake, we don't add overlays individually to each and every color option an item has. we have a handy tool that does most of the hard work for us. creating alts like a skirt without an overlay and then a skirt with an overlay takes about as long as it does to drag in a new layer, make sure it's set to the appropriate settings (there's a dropdown for this, so 2 clicks), mark if it has special coloration, and change the item name. so that "bunch of work" is really not as bad as you might be imagining.
