I'm really surprised The Sims 4 doesn't have longer hairstyles. The longer hairstyles for The Sims 4 aren't even mid back length. I would like to see long hairstyles for sims that fall around the lower back to waist length and longer afro textured styles. I'm not big on CC and I don't feel we should "have to" rely on that in order to see hairstyles in longer lengths. I would also like to see a variety of longer hairstyles incorporated with all hair types/textures from the kinkiest to the sleekest. Let me know what you all think. Here's some examples of hairstyles I would like to see.

that's kind of why the whole "i know there's cc but i shouldn't have to.." thing doesn't really work for this particular case

Neither was the hair in The Sims 3 but the base game had waist length hairstyles. Animation doesn't have anything to do with a hairstyle.
yea, and it looked bad in TS3, too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, and it has a lot to do with the animation/physics because a lot of what makes it look terrible wouldn't be a problem if it had physics.
on top of that, TS3 hair wasn't clay, so it'd just look even worse in TS4
These are just my thoughts though, I'm not trying to convince you lmao

> the hair in ts4 isn't animated, so it's not gonna look good long, especially in-game

pretty much agree with this
long hair cc already has so many visual problems and EA isn't gonna be able to do it any better. It's a matter of the hair being static.
when people download the cc, for one thing it's free, and for another they already expect the clipping and the inconsistencies but it's not a good look for a company to start charging people for meshes that will look bad in the game. That's probably why they stopped doing it after s3.
If you look at many of the cc hairstyles for sims 3 that were longer..they looked great. The only reason you may feel it didn't look that good was because of the style..not because it wasn't animated. Now I imagine for The Sims 4 because of the clay art styled hair it may be a little tricky for novice cc hair creators but as far as EA they could pull it off. The hairstyles in general have actually come a long way since the release of the game. I'm sure many people would appreciate styles of longer lengths that would still come out nice and polished.

> Agreed. The "long" hairstyles are actually really short. It really limits me sometimes when I want to make a character with long hair. And clipping shouldn't be a problem if the hair is mostly to the back, out of the way of the sim's front, where most of the animation is. But I seriously doubt that anyone will throw their computer out of the window in anger and boycot the game if a hairstyle causes a bit of clipping.
it's not really about people throwing their computers out the window in anger. it's simply a bad look. You can see why animation is important when you download those CC hairs and tell your sim to sit down in a chair and their hair goes through the bottom of the chair. It's hideous. For a company to include that in their game is highly unprofessional, I don't even expect it from EA, for which I already have low expectations of.
As long as the length didn't exceed waist length, I don't see why there would be any issues. If anything, it should be able to function like the other hairs. All these shoulder length or shorter hairstyles are getting really old and their not even that trendy.

To have more variety of long hairs !!
That and longer hairs have looked good, they have the power to redo certain systems to definitely allow it, I'm sure they could even have smooth bones of sorts to keep them looking nice without being animated.
Proof longer hairstyles can be done as well as shorter hairs if not better. We should have longer hairstyles to choose from.
Physics often leads to weird movements with the hair too. There's always a time where the hair are like in your face or distorted.

The hair is attached to body movement....
