Hair update - yikes my sim is not the same 😂

Yeah, I'm not too happy with how team Maxis handled this hair replacement either. I mean, I understand that the quality and execution left a lot to be desired when their original goal for the old version was for it and a few other hair styles to represent afro hair but the end result now is a completely different hair style. From what I understand a major problem with the old hairs was the texturing, and in case of the 'big afro' the shape was a little wonky. However that 'big afro' was way more gender neutral in hair style than the 'new big afro'. It has been completely feminized. And for the shorter afro styles it's weird that all the smooth styles have been replaced with more 'bumpy' styles. In my opinion this just emphasizes the lack of hair styles for colored people. Like there's a limit to the number team Maxis wants to support, replacing styles with other styles instead of adding a 'bumpy' look to the smooth looks for instance. And apparently there's only room for one style of 'big afro' whereas a quick google search with 'big afro male' shows a lot of images with men featuring many different styles of 'big afros' that this new one from team Maxis just doesn't cover.

The hair is better but gives a different look to your Sim. It will totally still work but you'll probably need a little 'plastic surgery' first...

This made me lol so much. I'm so going to use that line the next time someone comes to me in real life with a new haircut and asks me how it looks :D

That made me crack up! I can picture their face :joy:

I wish we could have both the old and new hairstyles.

It's ok the cauliflower hair is just more 3D now and has a bit more veg on it. I think this hair would look nice on him too: https://modthesims.info/download.php?t=573142

There is this too:

Oh wow, that is a big difference with the hair on your Sim! I don't know if there is a mod for it or not, but I honestly wish we could still have the old hairstyle back. Like, it could be a different hairstyle so that we could have both the old and the new. I kind of liked the way the old one looked on some Sims. :)

That's a pretty big change..

I won't miss the cotton candy hairstyle.
