Clothing and hats that need FIXING.

I may be naive, but I hope these two issues have NOT been brought to the front before. If they had, it could mean that EA is too busy to listen, but that is not the case, right?
There is a pair of Base Game jeans whose instep looks like a badly soiled diaper. They look as if I had made them, with my complete ignorance about designing nice looking jeans for a video game. They have not been fixed in any patch before, and that is why I can't stand it any longer and had to post here. They could be very nice jeans too, if they had a nice looking instep.
Also, the City Living head scarves and wraps ONLY have a dark brown hairline, so I cannot use it with my blonde or redhead Sims. This is a terrible overlook, in my opinion. Granted, this issue, like the one above, is not game breaking, but both are enjoyment impairing to me. I think those head scarves are cute and I would love to use them, but when I see how the change in hair color modifies my Sim's look, I take them off.
My game is patched and updated to the latest version, and I still see these things happen.
I still hope they will be addressed. Sooner rather than later.

    I read somewhere the purposely made all the hair the same color under the city living hats. They didn’t think it was necessary for all hair colors since you can’t see it. Odd but you really can barely see it under. Also the devs have stated that not doing stuff like this gives them more time to focus on other details in the game that wouldn’t be there without that time. They do have deadlines and a small team compared to other iterations. I’ll take the extra details or whatever vs all hair colors under headgear where you can’t see the hair, but I guess I see why this would be irritating to some. It’s a once you see if you can’t unsee it thing.
    Sorry for the long explanation but I just didn’t want this to turn into a the devs are lazy and not trying thread. I don’t think that was the reason I truly think they didn’t have the time and they had to cut back on something. That is just how it is this time round and it’s unfortunate but I do think they are working very hard on this game, especially recently.

    That is laziness. City Living as a whole was a lazy expansion, but it’s not like they were saving a bunch of time by cutting those corners. If they didn’t want visible hair they should have designed the hats to not show any, but instead they designed them to show hair and then chose to not add in the hair colors. Mismanaged expansion.

    I'm inclined to agree on this one; why barely show the hair if you don't intend on anyone seeing it anyway? Even the statue busker hats make all my sims look bald if they wear it, why couldn't they bother with the head scarves?

    Agreed. The scarves are as important as any other hat or headgear. Why not make the time to do this right the first time?

    More recently, I have seen another issue with a hat.
    The hat that comes with the beekeeper suit appears on sims when they are wearing towels in their residential lots.
    My sim used the beekeeper suit while working with his bees. Then I gave him a break and sent him to the sauna. He changed into a towel alright, but he was also wearing the beekeeper suit hat.
