Hello! I am curious, what would be the best practice when it comes to:

Clothing and accessories layers - Should I bind both skin and clothes to the rig from the start? In my case, I have a character with a sweater, small bits of armour (like chest plate) then an open jacket over that. Would I bind all of these at once or should I just bind the sweater and jacket first and then have the chest plate (sits in between the clothes) added using Wrap Deformer?

Floating Joints - I understand that this can be useful for things that drape like long coats, scarves, capes, etc. Would it be better to add these joints before skin has been bind to the main skeleton? Or would this be added using "Add Influence" later after sorting out painted weights?

I know these are probably FAQs so if there is a good guide documentation on this already or even a video then that would be great. Just want bit of information, especially when it comes to why one method might be better versus another and specifically how would these methods be interpreted in something like UE5.

I have a switch lite that I am worried might be coming to an end and need verification if there is a possible solution.

So when running certain games, I will randomly run into bizarre issues like incredibly slow start ups that usually end on crashes or game where music (not sound) will dip in and out. This would happen usually if I left my switch lite running that particular game for a long time (a day or two) without closing it.

First time this happened was with Mandragora where resuming the game would cause stuttering so I would close it. Upon reopening it, the game would take ages to get to the title screen and then would crash and close. This happened no matter how many times I tried and the only solution was to delete and reinstall it.

It has now happened again after about a week and this time I had Mega Man Star Force collection running but I went away for two days. Upon returning, the music would completely cut off constantly. I reset the game and once more notice it takes a while to load like Mandragora. Loading my save would leave me with a black screen until I moved around and then the level would fully load in. Music continues to drop in and out but sound FX are still there. I tried closing the game and running multiple times and that didn't fix it. I shut the console completely and still no fix. I deleted the game data and reinstalled and now it works again.

I started up Mandragora and it has the same problem as before so will have to reinstall.

I have no idea what the problem is with this. Is this an issue with my SD card (quite often full and I have to delete games to install new ones). Or is my console just on its last legs? I have had it probably since a year after it was officially released. I had completely replaced its shell with a sleep transparent blue which I love. It has annoying stick drift issue with the right stick so can't play many 3d games but it is pretty much my Mega Man console and it is is having problems.

Anyone know what the issues could be?
