it's perfectly fine to be maxis mix.....honestly i've been doing that since sims 2 you just have to be selective about what alpha pieces you pull into your game so it matches *your* aesthetic

The problem with alpha CC is that it doesn't look like The Sims 4 at all, your Alpha Sim interacting with a regular Sim is weird - the furniture, structures, the world, nothing suits your Sim. I agree that the sims 5 could have this "alpha graphic" it wouldn't bother me at all

I honestly was converted to alpha CC as soon as I saw a good use of it (ie, Claire Siobhan sims. I watched her dream house series for a while and her sims are always so pretty.) Edit: Yeah about the bits... Some skin details can do that lol. And you don't have to download the revealing outfits, there are plenty of normal ones.

Alpha CC is the way to go. In fact, you will probably be able to find some alpha CC men's clothes that you will like. You downloaded a lot that don't have the mesh included, that's when parts of the body disappear or you get the test dummy look.

[@InfamousAsh]

the shoes that are clipping through do require shoe sliders to pull them up but it is a pain in the ash since you must use same shoes for every single outfit, however about 7 months ago "1-800-Cuupid" the cc creator made a tutorial video for other creators to execute the new method of shoe sliding which now actually does elevate the sims height in different lengths based on how long are the heels or platform! and tbh it actually is a cool feature and its even better if you have the "Luumia Height Mod" which lets you shorten your sims in order to not make Ladders out of them when using those shoes!

Alpha skin details scare the hell out of me but I like alpha hair and clothes. I like using the clothes on my mm sims

I think a big problem for alpha cc too is its always SUPER inconsistent I'm not just talking style I mean like so many pieces don't fit the sims correctly or clip through or something its just kinda not as well made technically as some other maxis match stuff i've seen

[@NisyaLee141]

I love Shanice Shanice 2.0. Maxis mix is the best of both worlds. When the body parts were showing after you took somthing off, it might be from an alpha body default that got installed. Default bodies override the game censor and usually dont have underwear

[@summm3rwine]

She looks kind good

[@DisiaFreeman]

I maxis mix so for me that helps with immersion. I also have a lot of overrides in regards to textures, like for food and the terrain because I like more realistic looking things in my game. I used to be an alpha cc only but maxis cc has gotten so good over the years that I just use both. I didn’t have maxis match but it used to be very bulky and clay looking. Wasn’t my cup of tea. And I’d like to add that for most of us who wanted sims to look like them in our games we were limited in regards to maxis. The Afros people use to make were terrible lol.

The shoes clipping is because many shoe mods use a slider to raise the whole sim! I know Redhead Sims has one

[@jacwest7406]

I prefer Apha in theory and I love to play with it in CAS and use it in Sims 2 & 3, but the world is so cartoony and mobile-game-y in Sims 4 so when I'm actually trying to play the game I use maxis match lol. I just accept it...well, technically I mostly just play Sims 3 haha but when I do play Sims 4 I just think of it like it's a mobile game tbh, don't expect too much. It loads quicker and I can waste a small amount of time on it, vs 3 where I have to dedicate some time to it because it takes a while to load and I get sucked in for hours

The one thing I HATE most about Alpha CC stuff is that creators don't make Alpha CC with playability in mind. They just make outrageous and dramatic looking stuff, but use the Sims 4 as an excuse to make it. Like if you want to make outrageous and intricate items, go ahead! They look great and us simmers know it took a lot of time and effort to make a lot of that stuff! But WE DON'T WANT IT IN OUR GAME! WE WANT REGULAR LOOKING ITEMS! WE WANT REGULAR HAIR WITH ~~~~REALISTIC~~~~ HAIR COLORS THAT ~~~~MATCH~~~~ I can't tell you how many times I go looking for custom hair, just to see a bunch of Final Fantasy, D&D, Fairycore hair styles that literally NO ONE would ever have. And if I somehow manage to find a simple ponytail hairstyle, all of the swatches are in box-dye colors with a million ugly ombre effects. Like where's the simple blonde, brown, black, and red? And why are all the blondes either snow white or highlighter orange? And clothing too! I'll see a CC dress thumbnail, download it, but when I put it on my sim the mesh is so large that my sims have to T-pose to wear it properly. Alpha CC is clearly not meant to be USED but rather ADMIRED, and I hate it. Yet, at the same time, maxis match stuff is all ugly af. No one is able to find a happy medium and I don't know why it's so difficult.

I never minded the hairstyles generally. I use those in my game, but not the other stuff like the noses, ears, etc. I'm not picky about the type when I'm looking for a certain hairstyle. It just feels weird to have realistic looking sims in this game for me. It feels like all or nothing because if you have some alpha cc looking sims, it looks weird having them and then the cartoony looking ones both walking around... and I don't use CAS enough to justify making every sims I have look like that (I spend minimal time in CAS if I can help it lol).
