Alpha or Maxis Match?
Which do you prefer? Personally, I detest maxis match. I think it looks terrible! It's so chunky and feels... lazy. Alpha is just so much more realistic and that's what I like to see in my game, b...

Hmm... Thing is for me I would assume I class as alpha CC but I tried to make my sims look a bit out of the maxis style while still retaining enough that they could freely wear maxis clothes. I specifically focused on what I considered was good looking and still vibrant and game like.
I guess its up for debate if I succeeded but I'm pretty pleased with the current styling I have for my sims.
Like sim in my pic.
I'm really happy with my sims and the style they have, for me at least I can enjoy alpha hair whilst still getting Maxis content every pack. Others of course might not like it but its the only way for me to play this game pleasantly.
I think the cartoony direction with the hair was one of the worst artistic decisions they could have made. Hair in my opinion is a huge form of style and limiting it to blobs basically ruins so many ways your sim could look, that and its healthier looking.
Other than the hair I don't feel like other sims running around are a different visual style entirely just that they're "irrelevant"
and for the most part I make so many sims I don't really need to worry about townies I tend to come across all my customs.
I do use MM for clothes and sometimes not MM for clothes (but try to find stuff that doesn't go too far)
I just want my to have a nice aesthetic and full blown MM is not, I can do a lot of MM but not hair.
I don't like my sims with that because it just seems to make devoid of personality, I was surprised at how much hair had an impact on me when it came to creating sims.
I'll most certainly never use pure MM cc that's for sure.
That being said though I don't actually hate the base style of TS4 they did a good job on it but I do think it should be avoided for another entry because I just don't think it sits best with a lot of people.
