Could we please fix the hair swatches ?

True. The sim on the picture I posted to show the darker blonde swatch normally has bangs, so I can’t change her hairstyle for every outfit because there aren’t many updos with bangs.

It would have been great if they'd have designed each long/medium hairstyle with an "updo" version. It kind of peeves me that my Sim has to change her part differently, and sometimes has to have inconsistent bangs just to get a pulled-back or up-done hairdo.

Of course, it wasn't until much later that they separated hair by length and updos (which was brilliant, by the way :)), but even without that category foresight, I do wish they would think that way when designing each hairstyle. Maybe it's not too late for them to remake some of the hair, and to introduce updo versions of the current hairstyles without them (or "down-dos" of the premade updos).

I would love to see more hairstyle swatches but I think gameplay has priority since it's lacking a lot more.
But yeah. If they have time for both then both..

No offense but what hair have to do with game play. We are looking at over a dozen bugs and ours Sims can not own a vacation home. There is no pool slide and the baby is still a object. Can we please fix the game first then you can play dress up all day long.

This comes because of the fix the skin tone and haircolor uprising on twitter, where the simgurus promised to take a deeper look and want to change something the end. Basically it is now the last chance to get something change for the bad looking blond hair. So it's worth a try.

Personally the pure yellow I never take, because it looks too unrealistic. The platin blonds it's only suitable until the children grow up to teenager. Mostly then the blond hair color darkened with the time, in really rare cases it stays platin blond.

So it's always the same blond hairtone I choose, and sometimes the hairstyles looks just weird with it.

You make a good point, but the hair and skin swatches should have been addressed MUCH sooner. Both of them have been requested fixes for much longer than these new gameplay glitches (which only result in EA giving us "more content," by the way... instead of fixing content first).

From a story-telling perspective, aesthetic consistency like hair, skin, and other CAS details (and heck, also build/buy swatches) are extremely important in gameplay. Of course, not everyone "makes a story" for their gameplay — we all play in different ways, which is awesome — but it's the same reason you are asking for "functional" fixes (vs. aesthetic fixes). It is all about gameplay.

Since this thread is about fixing the hair swatches, I thought it would be nice to mention the blue looking black swatches :

Here's a cc hair (so pretty !!) that actually looks black, to show the difference.
