No skin in new game on starting items

[Cosiek 13]

When starting game, Wigfrid and other characters don't have skin that they have defaultlyon their starting items.

IMO (and everyone I played with...) they should start with skin, if they used it before "default" - same thing with Abigail, Bernie.

 

Can it be added/fixed?

I know that I can change it later with magic item, but it makes no sense to wait.

I would like that, too. You should be able to pick default skins on starting items.

I would like this especially for modding

Me too.  I mean, I'm not gonna deliberately kill off Bernie real fast just to get Ashley--but I do have that skin, so I should be able to use it...

I agree that it would be neat. And I actually hoped for it to be included when the survivor compendium came out, since you actually see the starting items there. 

Maybe in a future QoL?

This is the reason I didn't buy the bundle that had skins for Wendy's ghosts and some other stuff. The way I see it, skins for items you start with that don't get destroyed are completely worthless because I'm not gonna be seeing that skin unless someone dies without instantly leaving and without being revived and is willing to cooperate with me to make some evil flowers, because for some strange reason every single Klei server always has people pick all the evil flowers and presumably use any Clean Sweepers that drop from totally normal trees as firepit fuel.

If this option were added (and it should apply to beards, too) then adding more character specific skins would also be pretty nice. Lucy, Warly's various cookware, the Codex Umbra (since it's on the floor a lot), and the Trusty Slingshot would be good choices.

I would not be surprised if this is in the works and will be a feature at some point in the future. When that will be is still in question, but I have no doubt in my mind that this is something they kicked around the office before.
