Maid hathair!

Update notes at bottom of post.

Tired of the cap cutting through hair when I hired a new maid, I decided to fix the issue by making a new hathair!

This cap was originally made by Zouyou, then adapted and recoloured by PandoraSimBox; and, I have joined it with hair in a snood by Melancholy Maiden.

I duplicated and layered the cap, pushed up the front a bit, pushed back at the back a bit -- until you see what we have now.

There's just one swatch, but it will work with all the standard hair colours -- so the hair colour will change according to what your sim has.

My maids wear the Madge Maid Dress by SimsToMaggie (I highly recommend all their clothes!!!!)

I also thought I should explain how I use maids:
I use the Royalty Mod by llazyneiph, where you can summon servants; I have two permanent servants who have their own rooms to sleep in. One handles hunting and cooking, the other shares cleaning and washing. I use the Control Any Sim mod by TitanNano, so that they appear as sims I can control - but don't count as part of the family; this way I can tell them to do things; however, the Servant trait from the Royalty mod allows them to autonomously do things - just sometimes they don't do enough for my liking 😂
As an alternative, you can, instead, use the Live In Services mod by LittleMsSam - which works really similarly, but I found they spend A LOT more time standing around doing nothing.

In addition to the above mods, I use Fashion Authority by Lot51 for most of my services/career NPC sims. This allows you to create a complete outfit for those who generate (or just have) a specific trait/career/job. I have one for masculine royal servants, and feminine; and, a separate one for maids you phone for a one-time, or regular job.
This is VERY handy for things like High School - there's a Custodian, Teachers, Cafeteria workers, Principal etc.etc. -- and I play Victorian, so I want everyone to look Victorian, plus these specific roles should look like the job they do.

I think that's everything I wanted to go over 🤔🫠

Here's links to the separate items if you want to download those as well (not required for my hat hair file):

ZouYou's CaiWenji Servant girl
PandoraSimBox's Victorian day cap
MelancholyMaiden's 19th Century Snood hair (this is so good for wearing under bonnets!)

Enjoy!
