Maxis Match Custom Content?

mattandphilsims2

I've been searching a LOT but I can't find any custom content for The Sims 3 (skins and hair, specifically) that doesn't look like a Barbie Doll or Kim Kardashian. A lot of people like that, which is fine, but I really just want to find simple, clean, natural-looking CC that will update the way Sims look in TS3.

Does anyone know of any EA-match/Maxis-match CC? I want it to match the art style of the game. Thanks

For me that's the Primer skin from Kurasoberina. I've always played my game vanilla and I've always loved my sims. But that skin makes them a little bit better.

Currently for my maxis match save I'm using these eyes with this skin. *CC eyelashes not included... that's something different.

In-game example:



I get my CC hair from beaverhausenx. It's not totally maxis match but it's close to it. Otherwise I use EA content for hair. (store, eps, sps)

I have some hairs from mod the sims that are maxis de-accessorized that look really good.

Here's an example without accessories

Here's the maxis original

@Simasaurus09 she is absolutely adorable!

@Odonata68 Thanks
It's Sun Young Kim with a different hair color and outfit. I call her Sunny in my game.

Odonata68

Wow @Simasaurus09 I didn't even recognize her. I love that hair color too. Kind of an ash blonde. I love that color blonde but can never seem to get it right in my game.

Yeah it does seem a vast majority of the female clothes are extra skimpy and whatnot. There are some more normal clothes but you have to know where to look...

I'm a CC hoarder with some slight OCD, so I'll try to keep my post brief and easy.

For Maxis-Match hair (specifically mesh edits of EA hairs, such as the removal of hats and other accessories from various EP/Store hairs), Wojtek has a great selection that are also base-game compatible. (I've hoarded them all) You can get them here.




And since there are very limited hair for toddlers and children Simsxolove on Tumblr has created many conversions for toddlers and children of adult hairs from various EPs. These give much more variety to our little ones' choice of haircut. You can get her hairs here.





For clothing, I love Anubis's clothing. He's made a great selection of dresses that aren't too skimpy and don't use those ugly photo-skinned textures that majority of TSR clothing do... You can download Anubis' stuff here.






I hope you find something that suits your game!

I prefer maxis match too. For skin it isn't a problem. Kurasoberina's skins are absolutely great and I use Primer as a default and starfruit epiphantic and freckled fruit for my more different sims. For clothes too when you prefer slightly older stuff from the already mentioned Anubis, or from Sentate, or jockersims or shokoninio there was a period I had almost everything from them. Unfortunately, marvelous - not maxis-match - seems to be the trend now and most of the maxis-match creators aren't active anymore.

Hair is something else. If you're okay with slightly changed EA-hairstyles, the hairstyles others have already mentioned are good. Pickypickachu has some good retextured hairstyles, and the already mentioned Beaverhausen and probably a few others.
unfortunately, new maxis-match meshes that aren't retextures of the 'fake' hairstyles or edited verisons of EA hairstyles, don't seem to exist.

@Odonata68 I love this sim:



That hair suits her perfectly.

Odonata68

Aww thank you @JoAnne65 I made her to "show" a medieval build for a contest I entered. I liked her so much I kept her as a main sim in Dragon Valley. As a request I put her on the exchange with her kitten, Baxter:thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8921480
I was asked to upload her without any cc, but I love cc skin and eyes. I get most of my cc from mod the sims. I'm very leery about downloading anything on my computer. I've grown to trust that site and Nraas of course. Her skin is Navetsea F-IN, but I forget which version. Eyes are Shady deep eye contacts, I believe.
Here's another in game pic. The look she had on her face caught me off guard so I had to pause quick and get this shot.

Oh, Gosh! Thanks for all, I also prefer Maxis match stuff and I didn't know many of those sites!

JoAnne65

@Odonata68 That skin and her eyes are perfect for her Celtic look. To be honest this would be a look I'd love for a next game. It's a bit like TSM but softer.

Last night I fell off the wagon and added back most of my CC (only grabbing maxis match this time).

These are the top sites I've downloaded from.

Well in my quest for more natural hair that actually blends in with the game (I'm still on that quest actually I'm just slacking, lol), I came across Mia Simmer's tumblr page. She retextures hair created by others and when someone else was looking for more hair that blends with the game someone mentioned her site.

I haven't looked through all of them, still have yet to download any. That's probably because I saved it as a bookmark on my phone and I have dozens of bookmarks on my phone. It took a while to find it but your post reminded me!

Thanks that's kind of the look I was going for. I really like how TSM looks. I thought about getting it. I know gameplay is different. Do you play it and how do you like it?

Wow @Simasaurus09. Um. Do you need a support group? We're all here for you if you need help.

It's a serious problem sometimes...
