Maid hathair!
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This cap was originally made by @nyxzouyou , then adapted and recoloured by @pandorasimbox; and, I have joined it with hair in a snood by @the-melancholy-maiden.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 🤔🫠
