We Badly Need New Afro Hair Textures

Honestly, I'd even be very happy if they retextured the existing afros and added more in like the ones LumiaLoverSims made. I used to use these but I really don't want to go back to using custom content again.

Ebonix sims has figured out how to make this work, but that requires CC and I know everyone is not comfortable with that idea. Here is a link if you're interested.
Beware of language. Search ebonixsimblr on google. You'll find it.

The style looks like IMVU characters or something.. Definitely doesn't match the Sims 4 at all, and I'm really not into that look especially for my game.

Those are nice, I don't use CC so I'd love if they did retexture the base game fros to be more textured... As for curls, I understand the lack of them...they are expensive to do. "Expensive" in animation does not mean only from a money perspective at all, but time consuming as well as graphically consuming. More so than straighter, more blocky hair. (That's true in regular drawing, draw straight hair versus curly, you just have to put more work and detail in to be convincing) Also, given the art style of TS4, it's unlikely we'd get curls that look the way people are thinking. Natural/textured hair is more convincing looking when it can be less uniform, curls and strains tend to go everywhere in some cases, and with no hair animation, it's harder to get that across too.

It doesn't look good and are off, but she did her best anyway...
She also creates political CCs too...

You don't like it? Happens. Not for everyone.
There are quite a few political things on her site. I feel like they're good quality though.

I remember them making more african hair styles as downloadable content for the sims 3. As a African American I understand that African hair styles are different than African American hair styles but the ability to make them is there.

...doesn't really take serious programming to make hair...not like toddlers... didn't know we still had trolls...

To be honest, afros in TS4 is not easy to make, seriously one of the developer use a freaking cauliflower as the concept for an afro in the base game.

But the dreads are WONDERFULLY made!!!!

How are they any more difficult to make than straight hair textures? If they've done it before and CC creators can do it, then there's no excuse. I think the female small afro and the styled male afros are great.

because the polygons in the sims 4 are way lower than sims 3, even if you created one, it would look too solid and look like some sort of play doh.

I think the female small afro and the styled male afros are great.

that I agree, it just that the one large afro in the base game ticks me off because they used a freaking CAULIFLOWER as the concept art....

Honestly, the only way I think we're going to get more textured hair is if there is more diversity within the creators team. Why use cauliflower when you can use actual hair? Because there was no one familiar with actual coily/afro-textured hair around.

Exactly my thoughts. They had no physical reference so they Googled some cauliflower and this is the result we get. A shame

Could they not have just Googled an actual afro rather than a cauliflower. *facepalm*

I want this look for kids-

The side swept braids in get together need to be longer....I've always wanted to use them on my sim but they don't match the actual length of my hair ( she's based on me even though I personally don't wear braids ) The "bountiful bun" is actually very pretty to me...I use the high bun in the game but It does look like a lump...some texture would make it look gorgeous...I'd also like longer ethnic hairstyles, because black people CAN AND DO grow hair.
