Maxis Match/EA Match Hair for Sims 3?

Why not just use EA hair,clipping etc is not an issue with it and even with poses.Kinda meant to flow with the game.Store has great hairs so does expansions.

Instead of a Maxis match try to find a love for the Maxis,no clipping issues here,not playdough-ish,no fake shooting from the sim.Was made for the game

Thank you, however, this is not relevant to what I'm asking. While I do like a lot of the hair from EPs and the Store, the game tends to get stale only having the same few hairs to choose from.

All I can say is that it's going to be a tough slog through Google.

You could try this search parameter I put in to Google:

Hey there, you can check this thread:

Good Luck!

My badd,Was trying to be relevant,all the gripes you mentioned are not an issue with the thing you are trying to match.

"weird hairlines, floating off the sim's body, overly glossy/metal-like textures, generally looking out of place, etc"

Just saying try doing photoshoots with the hairs included with expansions any store you own and they may grow on you.Some simmers are even now finding and saying they really like EA clothes after ignoring it after years playing.Worth a shot :p

There seems to be an abundance of nice Maxis-match content for Sims 2 & Sims 4, but finding any for Sims 3 is pretty difficult from my experience. I hate the way most CC hair for Sims 3 looks in game, and how there's always something off with it (weird hairlines, floating off the sim's body, overly glossy/metal-like textures, generally looking out of place, etc). Even a lot of maxis-match retextures of alpha hair in Sims 3 still bother me. Is there anyone here who has had luck finding Maxis Match hairs for Sims 3? Or is it just not done?

Couldn’t agree with you more and like you I’d love more choice. This is one of the few that meet my requirements.

Though also here I’m not fully content with the hairline. Thanks for starting this topic, any tip you’ll get I’m going to check out ;)
(I also have some nice female hairstyles by the way, I’ll add them later if others haven’t already; I need to be on my pc for that)

There is a lot of hair in this link.

I've downloaded a few and find them to be excellent. But it is easy to skip any you don't like as there are over 200 hairs listed. All ages and M and F are represented somewhere in it.

If you're happy with EA hairs I suggest you look at Buckley's Disentangled Hairs - Nikkei_Simmer linked them. There are a lot of store hairs that I find unusable because of the accessories but Buckley has removed them and it has opened up a whole lot of hairs I once would never use.

@Mikezumi , Those are the ones I would love to start with if I ever get into CC, there are a few EA hairs I would really like if they didn’t have some huge flower or gaudy accessory attached. I should just jump into mens CC hair, I’m sick of my limited choices for my guys!

Yes, those are the ones I was referring to! They look great in the game and are completely matching.

I have some of those too. Copied EA hairstyles but without the accessories.
