City Living Hats Change Hair Color and Style

Something I really liked about TS4 was we could put any hat or head gear on a Sim and it wouldn't change a long style to a short buzzed style etc. In others we have been fortunate to be able to put any hat brim or otherwise on any style until City Living.
Many of the new headwear in City Living changes the style, O.K., sure, someone puts their hair under the turban, I got it, but it looks like their hairstyle was not shoved up into the turban but they actually may have buzzed it and gave females what looks like male sideburns with it and looks like they had a major cut.
But that's not the worsed of it, a blond shouldn't change to black hair peeking out from the turban, just because they put on a turban, right? But they do. What's up with that?
Also, some of the styles for females with those flowers actually don't display the color of flower in the icon. How is this supposed to work without swatches for the flower color? Example one shows red flowers in the icon, I placed that hairstyle on a Sim and it wasn't red but black flowers...what?
I tried another Sim and hers was orange, what? How am I supposed to know what color they will get? Where are the swatches? And why are those hairstyles (can't remember which packs) not displaying the color of flower on the Sim seen in the icon? It's crazy.
It's not living up to the promise you can put hats on any style when using a turban changes the blonds or anyone to black hair, and when those styles with flowers never display the flower in the icon.
Thank you.
Suggestion, it would be grand if we could get a filter pack toggle in CAS like we have in build mode...think about it. Then I would be able to tell you which hairstyle we are searching for in CAS. Thanks.

Exactly where is it located?
it's under the outfit categories

If you click on hair or clothing, it brings up a column on the right with pictures of the different choices. At the top of the column, you will see the icons for Everyday, Formal, Sleep, etc.; and then it will say something like "Hairstyle" (if you are looking at hair) and under that it will say either "Feminine", or "Masculine" -- directly to the left of Masculine or Feminine, there is a tiny triangle arrow ... click on that! That will bring down another box that has all sorts of categories, including packs!
Something is wrong in your game if you don't have these options
Didn't realize it was in german

Thank you! I don't have that...I will try it again.
Here is some pics.
If you don't have this filter option, then something is def wrong.
Hope this helps, and btw, I totally agree about the CL hairstyles and turbans. I never use them because of that black hair and sideburns. I really hope it gets fixed
Eta And once you click the little arrow, scroll down to the bottom of the filter menu. That's the menu shown in the pics. Then click on packs, and from there you can tick off packs individually.
Etaa lol everyone was faster than me.
Donyou have the options to filter by color, style, etc.?

I hope you don't have a serious problem with your game!
Also, I only use turbans if the hair of the Sim matches that of the hair the turban changes it to.
Best of luck!
No.
Yeah, I'm often screaming at the screen why a blond changed to a brunette just because I made one wear a turban. It's a lack of common sense in my opinion but I guess it was time, budget, or oversight.
Well something is definitely wrong, if you are positive you are clicking on the arrow, and nit on thr tags themselves. Maybe try a repair on your game?
I will again since it is broken for the umpteenth time, maybe the option is back but all last month I didnt have this option. I thought I did before but I didn't the other day after I installed two more stuff packs. Yes, my game is repaired daily almost if I load the game.
Yeah, last time I played it did nothing.
Hmm. If you use mods or cc, maybe one is broken. I'd remove the mods folder to check. If you don't have mods/cc, or if you removed them, and it still doesn't work, I'd post about it in bugs and issues. Im not a techie, so maybe they can help you. I really hate this isn't working for you. I know I would get extremley aggravated if I had to sift through all the CAS stuff one by one. Good Luck!
Sometimes, I have removed the gender filter like to give a guy long hair etc. But when I click the arrow you guys have provided it does nothing. I haven't play this month, maybe it got fixed. I will update info whenever I play again.
