Tailor/Costume save/load problem

I have 116 costume files saved in my directory and for some reason my last 7 costumes will not show up on the tailor's load costume list. If I move some costumes out they will show but it's random as to how many I need to remove to get this to happen.

Is anyone else experiencing problems like this? Could one of my costume files be somewhat bugged and is causing issues with the tailors loaded list?

it's not an alphabetical problem as I just named one aarrghh and it didn't show yet is in the costume file directory. These are all on a VEAT Widow and I think it has to do with that AT itself. None of her outfits are showing up unless I remove a bunch of saved outfits from the directory.

More Info:

  1. I removed all costumes but the widow veat ones from the directory.
  2. I then saved off a male costume (female character) and added all other costumes back to the directory.
  3. I then looked for the male costume on the list as a male character and it was not there.
  4. I then removed all the costumes but the widow ones again and looked on the male character finding the costume.
  5. I loaded the costume successfully and saved it off again.
  6. I then compared the files and the only difference was the lack of widow claw entries on the male costume, which of course male widows do have, though this was not a male widow.
  7. I then added all costumes back in again and was able to see the saved off costume IF it's name was higher in the alphabet then the widow's saved costumes.
  8. If it was lower then it pushed a widows costume from offscreen/inaccessible to being accessible.
  9. I then duplicated the ok costume 7 more times and renamed them so they were at the bottom of the costume list, just behind my VEAT widow.
  10. I then went in and the widow costumes now show up on the list and you can just barely see about 1/3 of the first duplicated costume that I copied.
It seems to me something in the way the tailor is handling widows is messed up with loading the list, but that's just a stab in the dark.

I have 6 total costumes for that VEAT widow. It takes 8 duplicated costumes at the end of the list to push all 6 up to visible. 7 duplicated costume files and the last veat costume only shows half of it's name.

The number of normal costumes below the VEAT ones seems to fluctuate with how many costume files are loaded above the VEAT. I added in 21 more costumes and lost the last veat one from the list. Making 1 more duplicate of the duplicated costume pushes that lost veat costume back onto the list with the 21 still added.

I duplicated the duplicate file, now named ZZZ001 for a total of 19x. I added in enough costume files to reach a total of 202, including those 19. They now push the veat costume onto the tailor list screen along with about 10 of the 19. The more costumes I add the more duplicates slowly get pushed off the tailor's list of available costumes.

Very weird.
