With the release of the latest SDX drop of African inspired content, including a new headwrap, I was optimistic that this might mean the Sims team had updated them to work with the hat hair colour system we have had since the release of Growing Together. But no, they just chose to lazily recolour the existing City Living headwrap with all of its existing flaws included.
That's where I step in to fix things.
Info
This file overrides the CASP and texture resources for all of the headwraps, as shown in the attached screenshots, and adds additional hair colour overlays for the game to pair with them to accurately display the correct hair colours.
You don't need to do anything special to use them. Just place the file in your Mods folder and the next time you select the headwrap in CAS it will automatically apply the correct hair colour for you.
Thanks also to SimMandy and Aveira for their hair palette Photoshop actions which enabled me to create all of the correct tones.
Notes
The headwraps will be marked as CC with these files installed.
Hair textures are shared between both frames.
If you remove the mod then the hair colour will revert back to the standard brown.
Don't hold your breath on EA ever updating them.
Special thanks to Ingeli.
16/02/26 Updated to remove the hair texture from showing as its own CAS item. Thanks to Lupusdragon for reporting the issue.
