Early Medieval Be(a)rserker Hat / Headpiece

04.10.2020 edit: updated with new CAS placement

Let me explain ^^.

I've been thinking lately of starting some kind of 'Crusader Kings controls my Sims' save and even made some preparations for this: I hoarded tons of medieval CC, built some stuff and played CK2 while taking tons of screenshots any time anything important happened. So, today, while looking through those screenshots, I noticed in one of them a certain chief wearing... Well, basically wearing a bear on his head. 'How the heck am i supposed to imitate this in The Sims?!', I thought; then I recalled that we have a full-fledged bear costume in the game; and then obviously I started fiddling with it - initially just for fun, to check if it'd even be any possible. And, as you can see... It worked not badly.

Comes in 6 swatches: 3 original EA ones and 3 recoloured. I have no idea in which reality the panda swatch could make any sense, but who am I to hamper your imagination?

• polycount: ca. 7K (I know, I'm sorry, but the og mesh was already quite high poly, and I had to make it double-sided...!)
• Base Game compatible
• HQ mod compatible
• all LODs
• custom thumbnail, bump and specular maps, some shine on the teeth
• tagged as everyday, formal, athletic, party and cold weather
• available for both men and women
• found under brimless subcategory
• colour tagged
• disallowed for random
• no PDN this time because it doesn't exist
• partially hat slider compatible (everything moves with the slider, but the lower part is way less affected than the upper one). Watch out, it may be difficult to grab it from the side - you need to try hard to find the proper angle!

Photos of beta version - uv_1 has been improved since

Of course there might be some clipping if you try to combine it with too bulky outfits, but with thinner ones it looks good. Please let me know if you notice any other problems!

I know it's a crazy and totally unexpected piece, but I hope some of you will like it nevertheless. Enjoy!
