Save BoM Tattoo/Layer Ordering as a reusable preset (similar to Shapes)
Bound Harmony
Hello Linden Lab Team,
I’d like to suggest an improvement that would provide a significant quality-of-life benefit for many users, especially those who frequently change outfits and use wardrobe tools.
Problem:
The ordering of BoM tattoos (and classic wearable layers in general) can be adjusted in the Appearance/Outfit window under Details (wrench/key icon).
However, the layer ordering is currently only saved within the specific outfit that was stored.
This means:
even if a user wears the exact same set of attachments and the same BoM tattoos, the ordering can still be wrong when the outfit is worn through external wardrobe tools (e.g. CTS Wardrobe or similar systems), or when parts are rebuilt from inventory.
As a result, users often have to manually fix tattoo ordering again and again.
Suggestion:
Please add a way to save BoM tattoo/layer ordering as a standalone preset, similar to how Shapes are saved as separate inventory items.
For example:
- A new inventory asset type such as “Layer Order Preset”
- This preset could then be included when saving an outfit, and also manually applied when needed
Benefits:
- Much faster outfit switching for users with complex BoM setups
- Less frustration and fewer manual corrections
- Better compatibility with wardrobe/dressing tools that many residents rely on
- Improves usability for roleplay, creators, and users with multiple style variations
This would make BoM-based styling more reliable and bring it closer to the workflow quality we already have with Shapes.
Thank you for considering the suggestion!

Oh, yes, please! This would save me so much time. I wonder if it could be done by numbering the (58?) BOM layer slots and letting the user optionally specify which slot a particular layer should occupy. I only need this for tattoo layers. Clothing and underwear layers sort themselves well enough. I wear multiple tattoo layers for various skin effects, and they must be in a certain order to look right. After adding a new one, I often have to spend considerable time replacing links in my hundreds of outfits to get the layers in the right order.
