clay i tired the "real hair" before for Ana and look if stand out of elsa o.e and elsa looked better hair base came style hair i use lot maxis match for my sims it fit her. if see from my picture.
I use both, depending on the sim and whether their whole look is cohesive. Generally tho, I lean more towards hair that is sort of inbetween? Not exactly alpha hair, but more textured than EA clay hair. So long as it doesn't look too 'out there' I'm good really.
I prefer Alpha hair. I was disappointed when I saw how plastic and cartoonish the skins and textures were in TS4. I prefer to have more natural/realistic looking skins and hairs.
I like alpha :smile: It's kind of jarring seeing other sims with base game hair though so I tend to change all sims I come across into alpha so now the whole town has alpha hair.
I love Alpha, I can re-create people & I generally like realistic Sims! But I do play with Maxis-Match CC sometimes. I generally don't have issues with CC, but that's because I play on a pretty big PC & play on high settings.
It really depends on the style. If i can find it in alpha (with a good color) then I will go with that.
But a fair amount of the hair ztyles I like havent been done in alpha (or dont meet my standards).
Also, until recently Ive had to get all of my "ethnic" hair from alpha sources. They added some decent ones in recent packs so Im about 50/50.
TBH, I got fed up with alpha mods because of 2 things: the hairs are either unattractive or the quality is lacking. There are only a handful of capable creators who make decent alpha mods. And from this small percentage, only a few of them create hairs that I actually like. Also,like @jprich99 pointed out, the "ethnic" hair styles that I prefer are mostly alpha. However, the quality of these hairs seem to be even worse. I have seen some disastrous afros, braids, dreads, fades, etc. This has made purge my entire mods folder in search of clayifed hairs and maxis match mods.
I'm not that keen on the clay hair but I do have a lot of alpha hairs. I use those because I am in a sims 4 modelling comp and plus I am a cc addict lol.
Everyone has their own preferences and no one should put other simmers sims down because they use no cc at all or use just cc. I have seen a lot of wonderful sims that have no cc and with cc
maxis match actually cause its same style clay or cartoon style of hairs that matches to the game i can't use alpha on less am using for is mesh for comes with maxis match or clay and cause like my picture look better then alpha aren't to bad for ts3 but sims4 then is clay for me.
