Create Own Clothing and Hairstyles

I don't think I understand. It looks like you are describing custom content?

That's what custom content is for!
I already do this. I want a thing to exist in my game, so I try to make it myself. A lot of people do this!
Others may download the stuff people upload and put it in their own games.

It does come with the downside of making your gallery creations more difficult to download, though. It's also desktop only; console games don't support mods.

So while it's not a perfect option, it's still definitely something.

i do agree they should make cas more custom in a way
but i don't think we would be able to create whole new set of assets in game ourselves without making it CC

they could make smaller categories like ''front hair'' ''backhair''
which would instantly give way more hairstyles for people to use
or separate jackets and shirts or those full body outfits that already exist
so we could match however we like

in a way doing that would already expand cas possibilities a ton
and i think they even did something similar to that in old games console version actually

But..but I dont want sims to have backhair XD

that would require a total rework of the way CAS works, and they won't change that, i fear, or we would at least have the colorwheel back by now.

:joy: I mean you could change bangs separately from rest of hairstyle
the wording :sweat_smile:

i just feel its much smaller revamp than colorwheel though since technically its not new mechanics
its just making things into separate objects instead of one object to match as you like

but true, still its just a small dream they'll probably never make happen for ts4 since its ''too much work''

I know, i'm just kidding. ;)

You'd need to add separate layers (in cas and - more important -on the sim-model in game) for bangs, tails, main part, probably sliders, for length, curlyness and whatnot, new cas build-a-hairstyle categories, test for clipping, hats and other issues. Theres a ton of work involved, nothing you'd do on the go.

I also wish they would invest more money in gameplay and especially innovative design, but maybe thats a company DLC they didn't buy ;) The Sims franchise is marketing wise a cash-cow for them.

Look how difficult it seems to implement that sims can interact with each other playing games like fetch, frisbee and so on again. It's something that fans have been begging for for ages.

TS2 came with a piece of software called BodyShop, that allowed players to make custom skins, eye colors, hair colors, makeup, and recolors of existing clothes. Now, for TS4, you have to download piece of third-party software called Sims 4 Studio to do the same thing. It's a real shame that they didn't give us a TS4 version of BodyShop, because I loved using it to put custom graphics on clothes and make crazy hair colors in TS2, and TS4's clothes do have...limits...when it comes to color and pattern choices.

That would be custom content. Though it could be possible to have hair and bangs and all that separate and can choose what to add on your sims. I doubt it would be possible now and can live without it as long as we got different choices; but it would be neat to see,

Assuming you mean something like being able to lengthen hair in CAS with sliders, that’s probably gonna be one hell of a task to program. Imagine the clipping issue

Be able to put the pretty tops with any jacket/sweater without a mod/mcc.
