Tell me if this idea has been had before, but I think that it would be easier for the art team if, instead of making male and female models, they just make nonbinary child models. Kids are pretty much androgynous until a certain age anyway. Gender can be distinguished by hairstyles, clothing, and other features. I just feel like that would be much easier for the art team to make a Generic Child character, even if it leads to a doubly as big wardrobe selection than there would be if the choice were between Male and Female.
Also, I think it would be easier for kids if the Plus Size option were relegated to face shapes and clothing instead of a separate body entirely. But maybe not. What do you guys think?
