Hey now I love the earsocks and holes too. It's much better than wearing hats that imply they're just cramming your ears inside them :xI probably just have really bad taste.I find coifs really adorable also, albeit in more of the 'it's so ugly it's cute!" kind of way.
I do still totally appreciate ear-holes as well. Would love if they gave that treatment across the board, but I'm not holding my breath on that
Clearly the game can handle it. This excuse that the ears are in the hat slot was an attempt to place Viera in the same predicament that hrothgar are in; essentially a lie.Having 2 foot long ears with clippy tuffs of fur clip out of the top of your head is far more noticeable than some rigid horns poking out the side. As someone who has played that race and is VERY triggered by needless clipping (Short hair for life) I can say that though I'm not a fan of some of the clipping with the horns it is in no way all that distracting. The horns are actually designed in a way so that most of the time you can reason it away because they cover the clipping point (so you can easily think "there's a spot where the character slotted on the helm" for example)
Just like I don't have the same reaction to tails clipping through 99% of tops as I do when I look at this.
And again, Viera ears ARE IN their "hat" slot. Even if the devs wanted to be lazy and "just make the ears clip through the hats" and embrace the visual pain that would be "bent ears" clipping through something like this they would STILL have to make 4 . different . versions of every hat in the game just to make each look like a lazy clippy poop because the hat would have to replace the ears on Viera with a "Hat + whatever ear they picked" model.
(And ontop of that, they would have to design "hat hair models" for all of Viera hairs ... which doesn't seem like a big deal at first but it's even more work down the line seeing as they will only get unique hairs in the future)
That's more work than any race in this game gets lol
Like I said, new game and I'm sure it'll be far easier to make up a new system for handling Viera ears. But that aint what we got, we got a game that was built fast on the back of a broken nightmare. Game's been showing it's age and there are a number of common play CC options we will simply never get because the game was built the way it was. It really is a minor miracle that they got the 2 races in the way they did ... because it's clear that the most logical step in making them would have been to make Highlander Neko instead of Hrothgar and a tall, tailless neko with stilly longer "bunny like" ears instead of Viera.

It's all a lie, photoshop, as some Fallout guy said, this suppose to break the game and Vieras cant use modded hair.
You can see how badly the sunhat was cropped that it was poorly photoshopped. That and the sunhat is at a different resolution to the rest of the picture and appears pixelated at the edges and that the hat is being has the wrong lighting, being more bright at the outer edges despite the light sources obviously coming from behind the camera only.
This does also does not take into account the other possible ear shapes or sizes.You can see how badly the sunhat was cropped that it was poorly photoshopped.

The source I got that from is legit, not photoshop or search engine images.
That's the secret, which I can't share here but you can imagine if you think long enough. Hint, it can work on pc but not ps4. Anyway, if you ask anyone who has modded the game in the past they will tell you straight up that there's no issue with implementing hats/helmets on Viera, any different than it would be on Au ra; outside of clipping.

On closer inspection I did see that hat's resolution does match with the background, it's just your photo just has extremely low resolution. But again look at the lighting, the back of her hair is in shadow (picture 2) but the back of her hat is lit up.That's the secret, which I can't share here but you can imagine if you think long enough.

I think atleast give Hrothgar & Viera access to the mogstation headpieces.
