Headscarfs and hijabs are not the same thing and have completely different meanings.

Yet somehow women buy headscarfs, cover their hair with them, and call them "hijabs". It's just a different word. But it's basically a headscarf.

??? So if I wear a headscarf because I feel like wearing one, maybe because I'm having a bad hair day or cold thats considered a hijab to you :neutral:
@luthienrising religious women wear hijabs for religious reasons actually (sign of modesty, symbol of faith) not because just because they feel like covering their hair, hence why a hijab and headscarfs are two different things.

Sims don't have "reasons". They just wear things. The exact same scarf can be worn for fashion and for religious reasons - and not only by Muslims - in the exact same ways. There's already a scarf in the game that is tied the way many Orthodox Jewish women wear scarfs for modesty purposes. Can you tell when you use it?

yet your saying "Yet somehow women buy headscarfs, cover their hair with them, and call them "hijabs". It's just a different word. But it's basically a headscarf" yet they're two different things so it's basically not a headscarf, your contradicting yourself. I suggest you educate yourself with articles on the internet about hijab, they're different from headscarfs like this quote says "Hijab is not a term that is synonymous with the headscarf; it is a term that encompasses much more than an article of clothing".

I'm afraid you're talking to the wrong person when it comes to learning about hijab - I actually did a pile of research on this, for work purposes, just this winter. Yes, the word has multiple meanings, one of which is "modesty". Another is a style of wearing a headscarf, which is what we're talking about here. It's not even a style that has exclusively religious meaning or use. If I pin my scarf at my neck so it doesn't fall off, it doesn't become a religious item. That's internal, and Sims can't have that intention, so it would be nonreligious - decorative like a turban or the other relatively covering scarves we have now. In the absence of religion itself, a piece of fabric tied on your head is a piece of fabric tied on your head. It might be used to make an Italian nonna, or a Sim who hates her hair today or wants the comfort of fabric on her head, or to represent a Sim-self that just feels wrong if there's so much skin and hair showing.
