Quote - Beats me.  Maybe those who can't afford morph packs and texture sets.

I don't mind SP3 in the default state; it looks rather like Juliette Lewis.  Even unmorphed V3 isn't bad looking.

In fact, P5 Judy looks superb when rendered without lights. :) 

 

Heh, actually that was the case for me when I first started doing my webcomic, Android. I didn't have the morph sets for Laura 3, so could only change skin color and hair to try  and make her look somewhat different. I got roundly criticsed about doing that and went out and bought the morph set which I hardly ever use.
