Viera hat compatibility is tied to hair styles

I always try to explain this to people. The ears are an issue for SE, yes, they seem to be weird about when they can clip and when they can't. But the more apparent issue with adding hats to this race is the hair. Race specific hairs don't have the rigging to change for when a hat is equipped. Most of the work is already finished for the other hairstyles that aren't exclusive to the race. This rigging should never have been handled like this in the first place let alon be ignored this long since shadow bringers. It's honestly just depressing at this point. I'm so tired of being told "we are working on it, please be patient." And then another two years ago by without anything. I just want to wear hats. Race specific hair or not.

They're only an issue because SE sees no financial benefit in putting in the extra time to make hats work for the newer races. It's the same reason why miqo'te ears are constantly cut off with most new hats. Easier to just tell people that it's too difficult, when in reality it's just cutting costs where ever they can. Players have long since fixed the issue that SE is unwilling to.

Yep! Modders even did the detail like that picture where its not just the ears clipping through but has the hole and edges. But I'm not even asking for that, let them clip, just stop locking us out of most gear

If anything they might profit off of it. Think about how many extra fantasias they can sell with people switching to one of the limited races, getting tired of how limited their options are, and deciding to switch back.

If the mod community can do it with the tools they have, there's 0 excuse for our dev teams being this lazy after Shadowbringers has come and gone. And worst of all (if ANYTHING) the AF from ShB - DT should be the BARE MINIMUM of what all races should be able to wear.
