I noticed something when going through the hassle of picking skins for a character, it takes a long while to pick skins. Instead of hassling, why don't you add a side panel where users could have skin sets of their choice so they don't have to click different skins and have a personal wardrobe of predetermined sets of the user's choice?
Just something that would let users present their own fashion sense and take only a minute to choose if they already have a skin set.
