No one uses this feature other than harassment
You can turn it off in settings, but many people don’t check settings.
I’m not happy when I see vomit at PLAZA, and I feel sickwhen I see vomit at home.

i disagree
because of what this says vvv

@NotGaylien

I just think of it as the problem of
Should the setting be turned off for the first time to avoid upsetting some people
Or should it stay on to avoid people never knowing it was a setting in the first place

I’m in favour of it being on automaticity for the first time, if people who don’t like it encounter it, much like blocking a player model you don’t want to see, you can just go into the settings and turn it off since it’s better to know the setting is there and turn it off if you don’t want it, than to have a setting there lots of people will never know about

I think about that.

Where do users know if a setting exists? Instead of looking for settings, I try not to participate in Booze Bash or drink. Because they don’t know they can turn it off. How do I tell them the settings? I think Vomit decals are cool for GMT players. But more TU players, more people don’t know GMT. Vomit decals are not cool for people who don’t know GMT. Of course, I know people who are looking for Vomit decals. So Vomit decals should be turned off by default so that some people can enjoy …

It makes more sense to have it enabled by default, most PC users or people who are playing this game are savvy enough to check their settings when they first launch.

If they see the setting and think “oh gross” they’ll disable it, but if they see people puking and it not leaving decals by default, they’re more likely to think it looks a bit silly.

when you drink alcohol for the first time make a warning popup for the vomit effects :^)

[Nuetella]

There should be a “grotesque” option that can be toggled for super gorey gibs and vomit decals.

And a “softness” option where someone has sparkles, wool and felt for blood, gibs and rainbow and sparkles for vomit.

[Spookz]

i feel they shouldn’t be categorized together like that though they should be able to be toned down or turned off entirely alongside a tickbox for the “soft” mode.
so for one of the options, for example gore, you’d have the options

• Disabled
• Low
• Medium
• High (Fully Enabled)

alongside a tick box that says “Soft” on it or something, hovering could give a tooltip saying what it does.
This allows uses to lower the amount of gore for maybe FPS reasons or for their own comfort whilst allowing them to have an alternative if it’s not for FPS reasons.
