I'm not sure if this is a result to the latest patch or stuff pack, but I notice that some hairs are causing distorted arms during certain animations such as "Sweet Talk" under the romance category. So far, I have only used a few of Antos hairs both some of Anto's latest and old hairs. When removing the hair, the arms are fine.

One hair in particular I really like is one of Anto's latest hairs that was released a a couple of days ago, Tina Hair. It is also causing distorted arms. Is there a way to fix this because I really want to use this hair?

EDIT: I found a workaround. The details are in my next post.

Yeah, I tried it even with re-installing the game with no mods at all besides this one. It's definitely the hair. However, I did find a workaround for this specific hair. The creator had a similar hair which I think this one was based on (copy edited), so I copied the meshes from this one, deleted the meshes in the older hair, and the pasted the meshes from the new hair into the file of the older hair via Blender. Everything seems to work fine now, and it has the same colors. I tried this trick with other hairs from the creator that are causing the same issue, and they also work, but it's a bit trickier. You have to do the same procedure, but you will have to export and import the textures/colors 1 by 1 on top that.

It's good that you were able to fix it, but a shame that you had to do so with recent content from an active creator. I see it is recent enough that it's not unreasonable that they haven't responded yet, though, so hopefully they will do so and fix the affected hairs.
