# Cosmetics are not changing

Why your FNLB bot may ignore cosmetic commands and how to fix it.

## Common causes

- The bot is offline or not in your party
- Cosmetic commands are disabled or restricted in the category settings
- The name you typed does not match any cosmetic
- You sent the message in game chat instead of party chat
- The item is a type the bot cannot equip (gliders, wraps, sprays)

## Fixing it

Confirm the bot is online and in your party, check that cosmetic commands are allowed, then send the name again in **party chat**, spelled as closely as you can.

If the bot replies with a numbered list, reply with the number of the item you want. See [Changing skins, emotes and other cosmetics](https://fnlb.net/support/bot-setup/change-cosmetics.md) for the full command list.

## Multiple matches

Fuzzy search means a short name can match several items. When that happens the bot lists the matches and waits for you to pick one by number - only the person who asked can choose.

If you don't want to guess, use a longer, more exact name, or use `cosmetic-info <name>` to check what the bot finds.
