Dark Hair for Asian Archetype Sims

Black Hair for Asian Archetype Sims This mod provides a simple workaround for players who own the City Living and Snowy Escape expansions and are tired of seeing platinum-blonde haired Asian Sims populating their worlds. What It Does Newly generated Sims that use the Asian Archetype will now spawn with black hair instead of randomly selected colors (which often include platinum blonde). This change only affects newly spawned Sims . Existing Sims in your game will remain unchanged. A single .package file is provided, compatible with both Snowy Escape (SE) and City Living (CL) . Known Limitations Unfortunately, there's a separate game issue where Japanese-named families may generate with one Asian child and a random-looking parent (or sibling). These non-archetype family members can still have random hair colors, so you might occasionally see Sims with Japanese names sporting unusual hair (e.g., blonde or other non-black shades). This mod does not address that specific generation mechanic. Under the Hood In the base game, most hairs have a blonde swatch marked as allowed for Asian Archetypes. When generating a townie using this archetype, the game selects from 4-5 allowed swatches per hair, giving about a 1-in-4 chance of blonde hair appearing. I couldn't find an easy way to blacklist blonde hairs for Asian Archetypes or use a range of dark colors without extensive file modifications (which could cause conflicts with other mods). Instead, this mod sets a fixed black hair color for the archetype. If the chosen shade of black isn't to your liking, feel free to edit the .package file yourself and select a different color. You could even make all Asian Sims platinum-haired if that's your preference! Technical Details This is a tuning mod that overrides the following resources: 49395302!00000000!0000000000006A6D.
