How to increase Victoria 8.1 eyelashes length?

How do you increase the length of Victoria 8.1 eyelashes? They're already at 100% maximum length?

I don’t have her but you can try turning limits off in parameters...

EDIT: Go check out j cade's comment, you've gotta turn off the limits on both the figure and the lashes. My lashes are missing all of the shaping control dials that they're supposed to have, for some reason, so I didn't even know that was a thing. You totally can change the length if the lashes are installed correctly, which mine evidently aren't so naturally they don't work right. OTL

EDIT 2, ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: You'll need to turn on the "show hidden properties" option if it isn't already. Mine was and the controls had evidently just up and gone for a walk, but after a reinstall the lashes now work as expected.

 

I'm not sure whether you actually can. In general to exceed a parameter, you would click on the gear next to the parameter that you want to change (in this case some variety of eyelash length), and select "Parameter Settings." In the popup, uncheck the box next to "Use Limits."

Victoria 8.1's lashes, or technically Genesis 8.1 Female's lashes (i.e. this would be an issue with any character built on 8.1), don't seem to work like that, though. It's weird. I gave it a try and even with the limits turned off and the length dials cranked to 1000%, nothing happens. I'd be interested to find out why, it's something I've never run into with lash attachments.

If you need lashes that can reach low Earth orbit, then in the meantime (or maybe forever if they really can't be adjusted), I would (ETA: absolutely still) suggest Soto's very excellent Lash Utilities. Attached you'll find the G8F lashes fitted to Vicky 8.1, using the "Spoiled" material for fun. The first one has the length set to the natural limit of 100%. In the second, I disabled that and set it to 500%.

They could probably get you to Jupiter if you really wanted.

Also this product comes with lashes that are usable on G8.1 and you might check other Raiya characters to see if they come with them too.

did you make sure the limits were off on the lashes themselves as well as the figure? the previous lashes may have only had the limits on the figure, but 8.1 has them on both the figure and lashes, so they'll need to be turned off in both locations.

Waaaaaait, what?! My lashes don't have that! I have the controls on the figure, but the lashes have zero controls on them at all apart from the usual transforms, mesh resolution, etc. They never have, and I've never really paid attention until now because I still use almost exclusively 8.0 instead of 8.1, and pretty much always load up either the Lash Utilities or the ones from Maia.

 

Well shoot, that explains a lot, then! Thanks for letting me know, I was probably gonna end up real frustrated down the line somewhere, lol. I had no idea the lashes were even supposed to have their own controls. Time to reinstall the Essentials package and see if that fixes things, I suppose.

you might just need to turn on "show hidden properties"  I should have mentioned that as well, but I forgot because I never have it off

They were just straight up not there, I tend to keep that ticked as well. Tried the old "turn it off and back on again," still squat, but I reinstalled things and now they're showing up. Phew! Sometimes I have controls just... disappear, or the checkbox will get inverted (checking show properties hides them and unchecking it shows them), but restarting DS usually clears that up.

I do remember that my DS install was being even more weird than it usually is around the time that I was installing G8.1 in the first place. Whenever I build a new machine (damn crypto miners), I need to do a totally clean install and rebuild my library from the ground up, apart from manually bringing over stuff that I've saved out myself. Things have been a complete disaster ever since last year, when Connect commandered a whole bunch of stuff it shouldn't have been able to touch (and confused the hell out of tech support). Screwed everything up terribly and even though I'm not logged in via DS, I've had frequent and recurring problems with products getting taken over again even after being uninstalled, deleted, having all the Connect-related folders scrubbed, and reinstalled with DIM, plus having completely new stuff hijacked. Poor RSA had to make me a custom fixed interface for one of his products because the adjustable one was behaving so chaotically for me and only for me.

I've scoured the thing for viruses or malware and there's nothing, DS is the only thing that misbehaves. Installation problems and things blowing up after are pretty normal around here so IDK why I should be so surprised that something went wrong.

Thanks for clueing me in, however, it's very much appreciated! We are now operating on all thrusters, ready for launch in three... two... one...

Oh, so the solution is to just load G8F eyelashes onto G8.1F.  That works. I have a ton of G8F eyelash morphs. Thanks!
