IGI 2000 Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Somehow "easy" request, I believe everyone could participate and benefit from it. I have a feeling that I'm limited by the same CCs I use all the time: lips, eyebrows, eyeshadows, eyeliners, skins, nails etc. I'd like to go beyond, so general question: what are your favourite most useful and sexy CC for female sims? Starting from myself, the first two: these eyelashes - very long and sexy, and these nails - medium-long, lots of colours and rarely conflicting with other hand accessories. http://plumbobjuice.blogspot.com/2018/06/eyelashes-v2.html https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/S-Club/downloads/details/category/sims4-accessories-female-rings/title/s-club-ll-ts4-nail-art-n01/id/1306623/ And what are your picks?
crabb Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 I feel like people might not know about atashi's accessory hair bangs. https://atashi77.tumblr.com/tagged/my-cc They use the existing hair color you've chosen when you wear them. The big bonus is that you don't have go grabbing a bunch of different hairstyles just for the bangs they have, instead you can try on a few of these with the hair you already have. I've cut down on a lot of CC by having them in my game. I also need to add that the hair in my game is either maxis-match or alpha-clayfied. I don't know, using alpha with this should be ok in theory I haven't tried. Also I want to add -i dont have a link to share here sorry- hair recolor accessories. They are really great for adding a little more flare to maxis-match style hair. once again not *totally* compatible with alpha hairstyles
mrrakkonn Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Here's a long list of CC I see myself using again and again, it was easy to find because I put up links under all my downloads already! First up is skin. First up I find a good skin replacement is essential for the look you want, I prefer kind of an "enhanced maxis look" (whatever that means, may have been something someone else said) so that's what I based my choice on. I get it from running two default skin replacements at the same time. http://luumiasims.com/post/152404590469/body-redux-3-new-body-replacements-to-improvehttp://catplnt.tumblr.com/post/152472258686/cinnamon-roll-skin-v2-halloween-treat-pt2 It's also good to have a number of extra skintones, personally I don't find the vanilla selection to offer enough variety, so I have a whole bunch of custom skintones installed, to the point where when I select a sim's face I can barely see the face presets at the bottom! Some of the ones I used the most are http://simsationaldesigns.blogspot.no/2015/03/the-other-side-new-skin-colours-for-ts4.html http://modthesims.info/d/598839 https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-skintones/title/skintone-set-v1/id/1281210/ the other skintone by msblue are also good. Then it's very helpful to have some skin details that help give ... detail to your sim's face and body, such as nose and mouth definitions, hairlines, body freckles and moles and such. https://goppolsme.tumblr.com/post/168077570532/gpme-hair-line-v1-45-swatches-download-thanks https://goppolsme.tumblr.com/post/169653206851/gpme-hair-line-v2-45-swatches-download https://obscurus-sims.tumblr.com/post/162047969368/skin-n1-overlay-3-swatches-teen-females-only http://sims4nexus.com/?p=4813 http://sims4nexus.com/?p=7507 http://sims4nexus.com/?p=5106 https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-skintones/title/face-freckles-%232/id/1276553/ http://polygondolls.tumblr.com/post/120118292282/these-stunningly-beautiful-freckles-are-from-this For stuff from this site I always find use for wild_guy's female body details and Airplanerandy's custom nipple tattoos. And related to that and not from this site I think the breast definition overlay by heihu is just great. https://heihu.tumblr.com/post/170729364656/hellu-i-really-wanted-to-improve-the-textures-on Moving on to clothes and accessories, I should first mention the navel piercing accessories that I use alot for my girls. Though except for the first I use my own edited versions of to make them fit the default skin I am using (those editied versions can be found by downloading my sims for example). https://pickypikachu.blogspot.com/2015/07/belly-button-ring-t-e-females-fits-all.html https://shimydim.blogspot.no/2017/07/s4-navire-fluffed-bikini-anchor-belly.html https://sims4ccthebest.blogspot.no/2016/02/navel-piercings-for-males-and-females.html https://www.thesimsresource.com/members/Suzue/downloads/details/category/sims4-accessories-female-gloves/title/[suzue]-star-belly-piercing/id/1408251/ Also some items I've gotten alot of use out of are accesssory bras, they often help to make an outfit look more complete or natural I find. The accessory thong by KisaFayd is also pretty useful, though I don't use it as much as the accessory bras. http://chisimi.tumblr.com/post/120586756172/okayy-well-i-had-fun-just-making-simple-clothes http://pixelunivairse.tumblr.com/post/137339888628/you-asked-me-about-the-bralette-acc-which-i-made http://modthesims.info/d/545911 Then there's just some CC creators I've found that I use a lot of stuff from. https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/Pralinesims/downloads/browse/category/sims4/skipsetitems/1 (eyebrows) https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/ekinege/downloads/browse/category/sims4/skipsetitems/1 (clothing) https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/MJ95/downloads/browse/category/sims4/skipsetitems/1 (shoes) http://nygirlsims4.blogspot.com/ (clothing, site's a bit hard to navigate I find, and I think it uses ad.fly or something, but there's a lot of good stuff there) There's also another creater AllAboutStyle whose site seems to have disappeared recently, had a lot of nice looking clothing, especially of the athletic/summerwear type. Like these outfits (only the bottom in the second one). I believe most of the sims I've uploaded use one of their clothing items, so that's someplace you can grab them if the site really is gone. There's probably some stuff I missed, but I believe that's somewhat of a collection of the CC items I use the most when I create sims. I also use quite a lot of tattoos on my sims, but those are gotten from mostly just everywhere at random by looking through Lana CC finds at irregular intervals when I feel like looking for some new stuff. Though I guess the old tattoo packs that KisaFayd over at MTS made have seen some use by me. http://modthesims.info/m/7907431

I always knew there were accessory(?) nails for TS4 but never really bothered downloading and using them. Going to have a look at that know, I think. Are there any more varieties of those nails?

I think I used this bang for my Lisa Ann, really useful. And good thought about recolor accessories - I've seen them but never been using. Will have another look.

Thanks for a long list, will be a lot of digging And about the nails - I always thought not using them is intentional. For me your girls are sort of "girls next door" what I actually adore. Although some of your outfits just shouted for it, like this one And yes, there's a lot of them. The other 2 I like and use are below. One more elegant, one more slutty. https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-accessories-female-rings/title/classic-french-nails-n04/id/1329091/ https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-accessories-female-rings/title/glossy-stiletto-nails-n12/id/1339223/

Now I'm not so sure anymore. Going through and adding nails won't be nearly as much work as going through and fixing up outfits for Seasons though (I blame myself and my "4-5 everyday outfits for every sim" approach to warderobes, lol)
erplederp Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 I like to use Kijiko's 3D eyelashes for practically every female sim: http://kijiko-catfood.com/3d-lashes-version2-hq/ They look great, especially with an EA eyelash removal mod such as this (and a subtle eyeliner): http://cienzroza.blogspot.com/2017/04/soon-little-thing.html I also use nails by Sintiklia and MorganeParis: https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-accessories-female-gloves/title/sintiklia--3d-glossy-nails/id/1265997/ (oval and long nails by them also available on TSR) https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-accessories-female-rings/title/nails-02/id/1296207/ These nails are a bit simpler, but I think they fit the game's style well and are very easy to combine with other stuff.

Thanks, I will check these 3d nails. How about eyebrows you guys use?
erplederp Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Eyebrows-wise, I'm pretty flexible. Sometimes I use the base game ones if I feel like they fit the sim well. Otherwise I like eyebrows by Myobi (Screaming_Mustard on TSR), such as these: https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-hair-facial/title/[-karima-]--eye-brows/id/1352707/ https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-hair-facial/title/[-sydney-]--female-brows/id/1343228/ Myobi in general has a ton of other high quality make-up (and other CC). I use these lip colors for example (ordered from subtler/lighter to more prominent): https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-makeup-female-lipstick/title/[-lelu-]--natural-lip-colouring/id/1350654/ https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/Screaming_Mustard/downloads/details/category/sims4-makeup-female-lipstick/title/[-velvet-passion-]--smooth-lip-colour/id/1357017/ https://www.thesimsresource.com/themes/goth/downloads/details/category/sims4-makeup-female-lipstick/title/[-tartarus-]--deep-lip-tar/id/1336143/ I've tried a lot of other lip colors, but frequently I was not satisfied with how the color transition to the skin looks (but maybe that's just me). One thing I forgot to mention in the previous post - nail polish for toenails: https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-accessories-female-gloves/title/s-club-ts4-wm-footnails-201701/id/1388192/ You can check out these color-matched with the previously mentioned Sintiklia's nails here (sorry for self-plug, I think it's relevant).

Thanks for eyebrows erplederp, I'm actually often not satisfied with eyebrows, either too thick or too toony, so I'll definitely test your suggestions. I also like Myobi lips, e.g. Bon Bon which are natural and sexy at the same time: https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-makeup-female-lipstick/title/[-bon-bon-]--candy-lip-colour/id/1352498/
