The Hair Crisis!

I was/am making a mermaid today. When I tried to make one of the CAS randomisations I liked work, I just couldn’t find a hair. Up and down the extensive catalogue, up and down…
Ended up with a whole new base instead…

I download hair all the time for my sims and I delete often because what I may download I don't end up using or I find a better quality hairstyle. I have never stop playing a household because I couldn't find the right hairstyle for them. The only time I've stop playing was to go into CAS to give them a makeover.

I had the Elvira hairstyle in my game unused for months and yesterday I found a dress to go with it. So, I dressed this sim like Elvira since I had the hair.

You see the blonde lady in my profile pic, she got culled from my game and I liked the hairstyle she wore, so I put the hairstyle on her mother Barbara who looks just like her.

This is another hairstyle that was sitting in my download folder unused. This sim is the most colorful one in her family. Everyone else wears dark colors.

I know exactly how you feel. A sim is only as good as his hair ? seriously it takes a LONG time to find the perfect hair for each sim because it really does transform their look imo.
At this point in my cc collection I have enough wide variety that I never need to look for more new ones though. I always manage to find the perfect hair for each sim from something in my collection but I probably spend more time on it than makeup or clothes lol.

my problems finding hairstyle greatly lessened when i stopped playing with cc cause well theres only so many options in actual game anyway :lol:

Great job on the Elvira sim I knew who it was just looking at it.

I have this issue a lot especially with male Sims but if you want long hair on a female forget it does not exist and you have to go cc hunting and still very limiting though not as bad as in game styles.

I had that problem with one of my spellcasters, ended up trying an alpha cc hair on her and loved it. Then it broke with one of the updates :D so now I'm back at square one again.

I can't say that I've ever experienced this, but I agree that it's important to find just the right hairstyle that goes both with their face and their personality.

~strokes beard~ Imagine not having enough hair options in-game for a specific part of your head...can't relate. /s

I've gone through this with a sim that I had originally made in the Sims 3 and then remade her for the Sims 4. I love both versions of her but for some reason I just cannot find a hairstyle that works for her in Sims 4.

Check back with the creator as they may have fixed it by now :)
