Please describe the patch or change you made. Installed Cottage Living.

There's a new hairstyle from the Cottage Living pack that shows up as a feminine option by default, but not a masculine option. I'm surprised because the hair is featured on a male sim character extensively in trailers/promotional material and is even on a male sim that ships with the pack - Michael Bell, the Creature Keeper.

Maybe this was intentional, but it seems like it might be an oversight?

If it was changed to be a masculine default too, players could use the hair on male sims without having to turn off the masculine filter, which is faster and easier.

The hair in question is pictured in my attached screenshot.
