Issue [BUG] Linus is showing up as a piece of hair!

[Yooora]

Hello everyone,

I have downloaded special character sprites from Naver, and all of a sudden (when Winter hit in Stardew) Linus shows up as his white hair. Has anyone run into a problem like this before? There is nothing wrong with my smapi logs, the only thing I can think of is that his sprite is not winter compatible?

It's his bday on the 3rd, and as you can seem he shows up as a giant piece of his white hair lol

Thank you for your help! ;-;

Edit; I have been using these sprites forever, on different files too, I had the same problem with Caroline but replacing her xnb. and images with fresh ones helped, however, for Linus, nothing is fixing it!

Well, first off a SMAPI log may help us troubleshoot things: https://smapi.io/log/

Though, you mentioned using XNBs; which are not recommended at all. And, won't show up in the SMAPI log.
This specific error looks like you placed a Portrait XNB into the "Content/Characters" folder which is for their sprite animations. While "Content/Portraits" is for their portrait when talking to them.

I'd recommend verifying your game files; which will overwrite the XNB changes you did.
