Suggestion:
The feature would add an indicator to a persons description area, where if they've been in the sewers for an extended amount of time/have come into contact with the sewage water directly they'll get the effect, it'll be removed after a time but will serve as a deterrent to just freely run around from sewer to city and not have anyone know what you're up to. Of course CPs wouldn't smell the odor because of their masks but citizens can still smell it.

In addition, by changing/washing (though the washing part would require yet another system which I won't get into now but you'll probably find a spoiler in here somewhere) your clothes you could get rid of the odor. This would mean that the stench would have to be tied to your clothing items instead of your character, which could be achieved by tracking specific IDs for items but may be too complicated/time consuming for a pretty minor detail like this.

Why it would be worth adding: It'd be more realistic, if you spend your day swimming in sewage hell yes your clothes will start to stink, no matter how much axe (virgin) body spray you use on it. In addition to this it'd make a person think about their actions twice before running out of the sewers to mug a loyalist or get their ration. As it stands it's too easy to just rotate around the sewers and city, with no real repercussions other than the slim chance of being seen and getting shot.

It'd also spice up the market for new clothes, making a second pair of clothes a necessity for any partisan who wishes to live a life on both sides. Alongside this it'd discourage people from just running to the sewers on a character they made 5 minutes earlier, and requires them to put in some work and development so they can afford more clothing/whatever else can be used to get rid of the smell.

Necessary content: A lot of dev work, the server won't die without this feature but it'd still be pretty neat and change how resistance roleplay operates.

So, as I said before in the initial suggestion section washing your clothes could be possible, to remove the odor of the sewage, it'd probably just be an action from the inventory where you have to be standing in water/in a certain radius to water, RMB the item or go to the crafting menu and select wash, the odor would be removed as a result. Again may be a bit too much work but still an idea. (Maybe washing machines too idk at this point)
