I have a few downloaded that look weird and when I find the time I'll probably search for and delete them.Īs for lag, I don't really get any. Some alpha makeup gets me a little on edge too. Sometimes my sims look better with it and sometimes they don't. I was when I FIRST got the game, but now I usually don't even use a skintone at all. I'm not a huge fan of many of the alpha skintones, either. Some people might argue that it looks out of place, but I personally don't think so. Most of the clothing and hairstyles I get are very good and I think they look quite good on my sims. I get almost all of my content from TSR, and only from featured artists, so I don't have many issues with the quality of the work. It's nice to hear everyone's opinions though. With alpha cc you probably need to organize your CC folder more often and delete those CC that look terrible or out of place.Īgain I feel like it is unnecessary to fight over this subject, or judge people base on what CC they use. In my experience, alpha cc do cause a lot more problems, and some alpha cc really don't look as good as they are in preview pictures. I agree with what Cyrus said above that alpha cc has a bad reputation because there are so many questionable pieces of cc.

A lot of alpha lipsticks look too shiny and pasted so they are out of question.įor clothing, I prefer MM, but there are some great CC creators who create very high quality alpha clothing that does not look pasted or paper-like and fit into the game as well, so I use their works too. I do prefer more realistic makeup, but not way too realistic. Even if I use an alpha skin I would choose an overlay that works well with the game skin colors. They look rather 2D than 3D to me (although there are some nice ones too).įor skins, I think some alpha skins that does not work with the game skintones and make sims look extremely white or pale are creepy.

I know there are clayfied hairs but I don't really like them. To me, maxis match hairstyles are adorable, they come in styles that I would like for my sims to have, and they cause less lagging, but alpha hairstyles have more variety in length and style that I can use them to achieve looks that MM can't achieve. I still use both in my gameplay and I don't think the alpha ccs I have look out of place. When I just started playing the Sims 4 I use only alpha, but now I started to like maxis match more and downloaded tons of MM ccs. I like both, but only when they are done well.
