I took a 2007 RIP patch so RIP can have the close cropped hair that he has now.
I did the ritual with the 06 or 07 patch. I exported it, saved it as bmp, and imported it.
I extracted the fsh file to my sgsm folder. RIP has the close cropped hair in the game, but he still has the braids tip, the part that extends past the hair line on the neck.
I did Smush Parker too and had the same problem. The solution to eliminate Smush's "tips" was to delete the files that looked like "smparkeB_hair.ebo." However, I don't see any file like that for RIP in the sgsm folder. I only see rihamil.fsh and that's it.
From the 07 download, rihamil.fsh, plyrprts~RIHAM__.big, and riham__B.ebo were included. Maybe I have to put the .big or .ebo file in sgsm to get rid of those dreads/braids tips?
Thanks.
EDIT: I am having the same exact problem with Jermaine O'Neal with the "tips."
