Exception On AlienRace Pawn Create， Using AlienRace Dev Version on steam. 1.5 and Anomaly DLC enabled.

[EoralMilk]

Does not crash every time, it seems that the hairstyle did not successfully read?

For the record, it doesn't happen every time. I generated a dozen pawns before I met this one.

[EoralMilk]

Also, before 1.5 was released. I never encountered this problem in beta testing yesterday.

[EoralMilk]

After testing, the official version of AlienRace's on steam also has this problem.

I also tested removing the faceAddonFramework. Test the KurinMeowEdition, which is an xml mod, but it still has this problem.
In addition, I did not encounter this problem yesterday, so it is almost certain that it was caused by the last update of AlienRace.

[erdelf]

While an interesting writeup, your error is in a vanilla method that I don't touch.
There's not too much I do in there.

I can only guess an invalid head type, or a broken life stage.

[EoralMilk]

This is my headtype def

	<HeadTypeDef ParentName="AverageBase" Name="KurinHeadtypeBase" Abstract="True">
		<gender>Female</gender>
		<hairMeshSize>(1.5, 1.5)</hairMeshSize>
		<beardMeshSize>(1.5, 1.5)</beardMeshSize>
	</HeadTypeDef>
	<HeadTypeDef ParentName="KurinHeadtypeBase">
		<defName>KurinHeadA</defName>
		<graphicPath>KurinMeowEdition/Heads/Average_Normal</graphicPath>
	</HeadTypeDef>

[EoralMilk]

I seem to have found the problem, very occasionally it generates a male Pawn, resulting in this problem, but I have set

<maleGenderProbability>0</maleGenderProbability>

why will it generate a male?
