Witches lost hats, changed hair colour

[Gwill]

I think I have an unreleased shiny version of anti-witch-outfit-forcing, but Fat Gwilly People haven't asked.

I believe you have already given it to Fat Gwilly People.
My simming computer is currently in pieces on my desk, so I can't check, but I'm pretty sure I already have this.

I'm not sure what the common factor is, but it's not skin overlays or patch.  I do not have skin overlays, and it doesn't look like Tigerlilley's witches in the first post have them either.  Interestingly, the evil NPC witch is red-haired in my game, too.

I was busy tracking down another issue so didn't have time to check whether the hats are available in CAS.  I'd assume they would be.  Tigerlilley, did that not fix your NPCs?

Nope, no custom skins.  And I swear, I swear when I very first loaded up AL, that the Evil Witch's hair was black to start with.  I  have no idea how to change the hair of NPCs.  Will google, report back.

I don't have this problem in my current game, but now that you mention it I remember the witch hats disappearing on the bundled withces during my test run before I added any CC.  Those weren't playable witches, I don't think I ever even saw them in person, only as friends of one of the maxis sims.

Whoa, then it can't be cc related either. The witches that were packaged with Belladonna cove had hats, but the new ones in the new hood don't. Haven't really played Belladonna cove much though.

If I remember correctly they did have hats when I started playing, but while one of my sims talked to one on the phone the thumbnail updated and there was no hat.  I'm trying to remember if I was playing completely sans CC or just sans hacks.

[Tigerlilley]

The witches in my photos are Belladonna witches who did start out with hats in a clean game.

Okay the plot thickens. My witches now have hats. Can't say if it was because I removed Squinge's WitchNoChangeOutfit hack, but last night was the first time I saw the witches since i removed it, and they have now hats (photos taken on a community lot in my uni hood):

However I still have problem with the green scalp:


This is just as weird as it gets.

I haven't played Belladonna, but have a couple of witches going.  I'm playing custom hoods and have skin overlay removers installed (to get rid of the green).  Otherwise it's mostly awesome hacks (most of the DC).  I don't have a lot of CC objects.  I also do not have any 'witch clothing' hacks.

So far my witches, both NPC and playable seem to keep their hats and hair colour.  Crash's comment (coupled with the fact that I don't currently use hacks that affect witch clothing) circumstantially suggests that witch outfit hacks may be the culprit.

But I'm affected and I don't have any such mods. Just creaturefixes.

[Tigerlilley]

Yeap, no Squinge for me either.

[jolrei]

Ah well.  Bang goes that idea then.

[Crash]

Well, that's weird, because the only hacks I have changed is the Squinge hack and of course I have updated the DC - that's it.  I have not removed any cc or anything else.


Edit: thanks Bastdawn for pointing that out.

Creaturefixes includes a green scalp replacement texture, which will override default skins unless your defaults load after Pesacdo's hacks.  Change the loading order of your subfolders.
