I don’t use the gallery to download Sims. I have noticed CAS trends when googling CC, like if I look for “Sims 4 toddler hair” or “Sims 4 child dresses” or whatever. I’ve noticed vitiligo, toddlers/children looking much older than the actually are with super glossy hair and loads of alpha CC and makeup, the skin overlays where they look like they have permanent colds/bad allergies with bright red noses.
I have some alpha CC, but not a huge amount; I also have a lot of recolours of base game/pack content. My hairs are all Maxis Match. Alpha CC seems like it’s designed to look good for photos, but would probably look weird in-game as it doesn’t fit with the cartoony aesthetic. I remember trying to look for Sims 3 toddler hair and the options were just ridiculous, all really long and glossy styles that often floated in mid air, like they’ve got their own personal pocket of wind to artfully toss their hair. This is a perfect example:

I mean sure, these creators have a lot of talent and I wish I could create my own CC/meshes sometimes. But a lot of these entirely alpha CC Sims seem like they’re designed more for artsy photos than to actually be used in game. Instagram definitely seems like a big influence.
