The Sims are known for their flawless skin, with no signs of aging or skincare routine required. It’s a luxury that real life doesn’t offer. But for those who want their Sims to have more character, there’s no shortage of custom content to add some wrinkles and eye bags.
These little features may seem insignificant, but they can make a big difference in creating unique and individual Sims. From minor tweaks to the existing base game wrinkles to highly realistic details, this list has got you covered.
1. Landline Wrinkles
The concept of equating the use of landlines to having wrinkles seems rather misguided, don’t you think? Wrinkles are simply a natural part of aging, and it’s up to the individual to decide whether they want to embrace them or take steps to reduce their appearance.
Luckily, in the world of The Sims, we have complete control over our Sims’ appearance and aging process. With custom content like the Landline Wrinkles, we can add more realistic and varied wrinkles to our Sims’ faces, giving them a more authentic look.
These CC wrinkles come in two swatches, each with varying levels of intensity. Unlike the original base game wrinkles, which can sometimes look like scars, these custom wrinkles have a much more natural appearance, blending in seamlessly with Maxis Match Sims. So go ahead and give your Sims the gift of aging gracefully, or not, it’s completely up to you!
2. Gradual Aging Wrinkle Set
Have you ever found it strange how Sims age up so drastically in a single day? One moment they’re youthful and energetic, and the next, they’re elderly and frail.
It’s a bit of a shock to the system, to say the least.
But fear not, because this gradual aging wrinkle set has got you covered!
With two different phases of wrinkles, your Sims can age gracefully and naturally, without the sudden jump in appearance.
And it’s not just limited to facial wrinkles either – this set even includes hand wrinkles, for that extra touch of realism.
The first phase features subtle, natural-looking wrinkles in all the usual places, while the second phase is a little more intense, with bolder lines and deeper creases.
So whether you want your Sims to age like fine wine or just prefer a more gradual transition, this set is sure to add a touch of realism to your game.
3. Tojirou Eye Bags
Check out this custom content that adds realistic eye bags to your Sims, created by Dorkpage.
Eye bags are a common affliction in modern life, and they can signify dehydration, lack of sleep, allergies, and many other things. While Sims seem to be immune to these issues, the lack of eye bags can make them appear less realistic.
With this CC set, you can add natural-looking eye bags to your Sims of all ages and genders. There are 49 shades available, so you can find the perfect match for your Sim’s skin tone. Say goodbye to well-rested, perfectly hydrated Sims and embrace a more realistic appearance.
4. Basic Eye Bags Set
This CC set is perfect for adding some realism to your Sims’ appearance. Eye bags are a common thing in real life, and it’s nice to see them represented in the game.
With the Basic Eye Bags Set, you have a lot of options to choose from. You can make the bags as subtle or as prominent as you like, depending on the look you’re going for. And it’s not just for adults – even children can have eye bags in the game.
The shading on these eye bags is particularly well done, making them stand out just enough to be noticeable without looking too over the top. It’s a great addition to your collection of skin details, and will definitely add some depth and dimension to your Sims’ faces.
5. Under Eye Wrinkles & Crow’s Feet
Introducing the latest addition to your Sim’s facial details – the Under Eye Wrinkles & Crow’s Feet CC set!
Our eyes are said to be the windows to our soul, so it makes sense that they would be the first place to show signs of aging. With this CC set, you can give your Sims a more natural and realistic appearance by adding a cluster of thin wrinkles beneath their eyes and at the corners.
These highly detailed wrinkles are available in 8 swatches, allowing you to choose whether you want to add just the under eye wrinkles, the crow’s feet, or both. The swatches range from subtle to more pronounced, so you can customize the level of aging you want to give your Sims.
After all, the eyes are the most expressive part of our face, and adding these details will enhance the emotional depth of your Sims.
6. Lighter Maxis Match Wrinkles
It’s true that The Sims 4 has a variety of skin details available in the base game and various packs, but CC creators always find ways to improve upon them or offer more customization options for players.
The Sims community is incredibly diverse and opinions on content can vary greatly. It’s always interesting to see what creators come up with and how players respond to their work. This particular set of CC focuses on making the base game wrinkles look less intense, which may be a desirable option for some players.
7. SimmerAddiction83’s Eye Bags
It’s important to note that Alpha CC may not be for everyone, as it does require more effort to make it look natural and can affect game performance if too much is used. However, for those who enjoy using Alpha CC, SimmerAddiction83’s Eye Bags are a great option for adding realistic detail to their Sims’ faces.
The intricate shading and subtle wrinkles create a natural and balanced look that adds character to a Sim’s appearance without being overly exaggerated.
8. Golden Age Wrinkles
It’s always great to have CC options that celebrate the natural process of aging. The Golden Age Wrinkles set seems like a great addition for players who want to create more mature Sims. It’s also nice that the set allows for customization and layering, so players can create different levels of aging depending on their preferences.
9. Non-Default Eye Bags
These non-default eye bags are a great option for players who want more control over their Sims’ appearance. Unlike many eye presets in CAS, these eye bags won’t be automatically attached to your Sim’s face, allowing you to choose whether or not you want to include them in your Sim’s look. These eye bags are categorized as skin details and come in several different swatches, each affecting the puffiness beneath the lower eyelid in a slightly different way. This gives you plenty of options to choose from when creating your perfect Sim, and allows you to add just the right amount of detail to your Sim’s face.
10. Vampy Eye Bags
Unleash your inner vampiric allure with these CC eye bags that will leave your Sims looking like they’ve been up all night, every night. Don’t settle for a mere vampire pack that falls short of capturing that “300 years old and haven’t slept in centuries” vibe you’re going for.
Whether your Sim is a creature of the night or just a sleep-deprived mortal, these eye bags are the perfect accessory to convey their exhaustion. Let’s face it, life can be draining, especially when you’re constantly juggling work, household chores, and parenting a fussy toddler. Sims have it even harder since everything takes them triple the time it takes us mere humans.
But fear not, with these eye bags, your Sim’s tiredness will be more than just a feeling, it will be etched into their appearance. The dark tint beneath their eyes adds an authentic touch and accentuates the shape of the bags themselves. So go ahead, embrace the vampy allure and let your Sims show off their sleep-deprived chic look.
