I prefer maxis match.Alpha just doesnt look good in my opinion. Maxis match is nice because it matches the aesthetic in the game and it blends in with the clothes and crap that the sim is wearing that came with the game and stuff. Is it just me or is there more alpha than maxis match?
I love Alpha CC. All I do on Sims is CAS and Build/Buy and I don't like the aesthetic too MM. I know that a lot of people don't like Alpha but I feel the same way about MM and stick strictly to Alpha for everything.
I'm definitely team maxis match for Sims 4. For the Sims 3 I was a fan of Alpha cc, but merely because the original aesthetic of the game wasn't much to my liking.

One thing I think is annoying, is how people who use MM make alpha hairs clayified ?? like I think if you don't like alpha, why do you do that ? Plus it still looks like alpha, just worse.
I prefer MM. I like for everything to be cohesive in my game. The only thing I use that I would not consider MM are the 3D eyelashes, but it’s definitely a must have for me. I actually like the style of Sims 4 and I think the sims are the best looking yet. When I played Sims 3 I used all Alpha (i don’t know if there was any mm back then) bc I thought the Sims were all very ugly no matter what you did, and the hair was horrible. Kudos to whoever is in charge of CAS for the sims 4.
i prefer maxis match because it suits the game and alpha cc can border on uncanny valley creepiness. plus, i like cartoon-ish games, like nintendo games and such.
however, i really like wooldawn's sims and they are mostly alpha. i think they look like cute little dolls, unlike some alpha sims that just look like creepy mannequins wearing a skinned human.
I often use alpha,but only when I create sims and don't plan on playing them,cause they cause so many lags and game crashes for me. I usually switch to my second mods folder to play,where I only have one mm skin I totally adore . I'm team BOTH!
I don't use much CC hair lately. I've used both types in the past, though. I don't like the way most alpha hair looks in game. I've also had a lot of issues with it. At this point I've seriously reduced the amount of CC I have in general, though.
I'm all for maxis match. I didn't mind using alpha in TS3 but I think it contrasts too much with the style of TS4.
Well I don't think Sims 4 has a specific "style". Sims is about creating your own style. Personally, I prefer Alpha hair. I like my sims to look more realistic.

Maxis Match hair is harder to create. Not many creators can do it from scratch. Some decent content exists, but it is definitely harder to find than alpha hair.
I personally despise Alpha. I will use some Alpha makeup/eyebrows but I refuse to use Alpha hairs and clothes. It only looks good for edits and it looks horrible in game. So MM for me!
I prefer "Clayified" or Maxis Match hair in my game but I use other items, like skin, eyes, and clothes in game that look like they are on the border of Alpha and Maxis Match. Of course, I also use texture replacements in the game so everything matches pretty well and I like it.
When I first discovered the existence of CC, I only bumped into Alphas and was so excited but as I dug more, I got really into Maxis Match and I think it does suit the game better especially if it's a good creation.
I love Maxis Match. Alpha is definitely great, but it looks weird for me when Sim who looks like real person goes in a world made as an animation for MM. Dunno. I find MM cute and simple, that's why I download only MM.
After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things. Terrible, yes. But great.
Honestly, I use both. There's good things about both, and bad things too. For MM, the "chunkiness" can be too much, or just too blocky in general, but for Alpha, some hair/makeup (even clothes) are semi transparent, or grainy. I guess for me it really just depends on the creator.
