As a devoted player of The Sims 4, I have to admit that when it comes to customization options, the hairstyles are underwhelming. Sure, the game’s aesthetic leans towards the cartoonish, but even then, the hairstyles seem to lack texture and depth.
Personally, I find the lack of hair clip options to be particularly disappointing. It’s a simple accessory that can elevate a hairstyle and add some personality to a Sim’s appearance. It makes me wonder why the developers didn’t give this more attention.
But, luckily for us, there’s a vast selection of custom content available online. I’m not the only one who craves more choices when it comes to hair clips. With a few clicks, we can find some truly amazing creations that add some much-needed variety to our game.
In a game where players have virtually limitless possibilities, why not give us the option to create some truly unique hairstyles with the help of hair clips? It’s time for The Sims 4 to catch up with the times and give us the freedom to express ourselves in even more ways.
1. Maya Hair + Hair Clips
One of the best things about contemporary hair clip designs is that they break free from the outdated notion that certain styles are meant only for children. For instance, the Maya hair clips are a prime example of how simplistic flower and butterfly motifs are no longer deemed childish.
These hair clips are versatile and cater to a wider audience. The best part is that they look amazing on anyone, regardless of age. Moreover, the accompanying hairstyle is sophisticated, sleek, and the ideal canvas to showcase an array of vibrant and colorful hair clips.
The sheer variety of barrettes available today is staggering, and they offer the perfect opportunity to add some fun and personality to your Sim’s look. No longer do we have to settle for mundane hairstyles with a singular hair clip thrown in. With the endless options of CCs available, we can now create a unique and stylish look that complements our Sim’s personality and individuality.
2. S-Club LL Hair Accessories
The star-shaped hair clips in this custom content pack may not shine as brightly as the real celestial bodies, but they possess enough sparkle to add a touch of glamour to any hairstyle.
The beauty of star clips lies in their versatility. They are always in style, no matter the outfit or hairstyle they are paired with. Although they might not have been as popular in the past, they have become timeless accessories that never lose their charm.
This particular CC pack comes with two distinct styles of clip, featuring three and two stars, respectively, in shades of red and blue. But what makes these clips so special is that you don’t have to match them with your outfit. They work with any color scheme and complement a range of hairstyles with ease.
With these star-shaped clips, you can achieve a sophisticated and playful look all at once. And who knows? Perhaps you’ll even start a trend in your virtual Sim world!
3. Toulouse Hair Clips
Subtle hair accessories like the Toulouse hair clips prove that convenience can be stylish too. The model sporting these barrettes looks undeniably fashionable and upscale, while still managing to keep it simple and practical.
The beauty of these hair clips lies in their versatility. They are the perfect choice for any occasion, whether your Sim is headed to work, school, or simply to their favorite café. These rectangle barrettes are the epitome of chic simplicity, and with 25 swatches to choose from, you can easily match them to any outfit.
The Toulouse hair clips exude a certain sophistication that can elevate even the most basic of hairstyles. But, at the same time, they are unobtrusive and functional enough to wear every day. They are a perfect example of how even the simplest of accessories can make a huge impact on your Sim’s overall appearance.
4. Pola Hair w Hair Clips
This custom content pack is truly outlandish but in the best way possible. While it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, there will undoubtedly be a few who will absolutely adore it.
Featuring a unique combination of thin braids and space buns, this CC pack also includes a variety of hair clips to take the look to the next level. The hair clips aren’t necessarily required to achieve the overall style, but they add an extra touch of whimsy that truly elevates the whole ensemble.
For those who aren’t particularly fond of the braids-in-face look, version 2 offers a more streamlined version that is just as impressive.
What sets this CC pack apart, however, is the sheer number of options available. With 15 different hair clip swatches and a jaw-dropping 50 hair swatches, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to experiment with various color combinations and styles.
In terms of hairstyling options, this custom content pack is truly remarkable. But with the added bonus of such an impressive range of color options, it’s no wonder this pack will be a favorite for many Sims players.
5. Kayla Clips
When you think of a classic barrette, what comes to mind? For me, it’s the Kayla clip CC – the quintessential, go-to hair accessory that you can find in just about any store, from Target to Walmart to Marshalls.
The beauty of this CC is that it’s just as versatile and functional in-game as it is in real life – without the hassle of ever getting tangled in your Sim’s hair! And with 20 different colorful swatches to choose from, you can mix and match to your heart’s content.
While this CC pack does come with a few hair options that pair perfectly with the Kayla clip, you’re not limited to using them. Whether you’re dressing your Sim up for a fancy occasion or just running errands around town, the Kayla clip is the perfect accessory to add that extra touch of style and flair.
6. Elegant Side Barrette Hair
While I can appreciate the appeal of hair clips and their ability to add a unique touch to any hairstyle, I understand that sometimes you want something a bit more understated.
This CC pack offers just that – a sleek and elegant hairstyle with a simple side barrette that serves only to keep the hair in place. It’s the perfect choice for those who want to add a touch of sophistication to their look without being too flashy.
This hairstyle is versatile enough to work in just about any environment, from the office to a formal event.

7. Yume Hair Clips
If you’re looking to add a touch of macabre to your sim’s look, these little skeleton hand hair clips are the perfect choice.
While they may not be everyone’s cup of tea, those who appreciate the darker side of fashion will love the unique statement they make.
These clips can be worn as a bold finishing touch to your sim’s most daring outfits or as an everyday accessory to add a little edge to their look.
With seven different pastel swatches to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect match for your sim’s style.
And for those who want to go all-in on the skeletal theme, the classic white option is a must-have.
8. Kyra Hair Accessories
These Kyra hair clips strike the perfect balance between practicality and style. They are not just plain old clips, nor are they overly ostentatious.
The oversized barrettes adorned with faux pearls, beads, and rhinestones are a fashion staple that refuses to go out of style. As someone with voluminous hair, I am eternally grateful for this trend.
This set of hair clips is ideal for any hair type and is the perfect finishing touch to a modern look. If you’re not a fan of the chunky barrette craze, fear not, as the set also includes a glittering star clip.
Who needs Ariana Grande when you have these fabulous hair accessories?
9. Glitter Hair Clips
Glitter reigns supreme on this list, and this particular CC takes the cake.
Now, let’s be honest, glitter isn’t a miracle solution for everything (have you ever tried cleaning up a glittery mess?)
But, without a doubt, it has the power to transform almost anything.
Case in point: these gorgeous glitter hair clips!
These clips are an absolute must-have for children and come in a whopping 15 different shades to match your little one’s preferred color scheme.
10. Yosano’s Butterfly Hair Clip
If you’ve grown tired of creating multiple versions of yourself in The Sims, why not switch it up and recreate your favorite characters from beloved TV shows and series?
A fantastic option is Akiko Yosano from the hit anime Bungou Stray Dogs (not to be confused with the Japanese author).
The butterfly hair clip is the most recognizable aspect of her look, but it’s also the most challenging to replicate with random CC.
However, fear not, as this hair clip is the genuine article!
The only distinction is that it’s available in ten different colors, so you’re not restricted to the traditional gold.
