Hi simmers! If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably noticed that The Sims 4 base game doesn’t give us nearly enough braided and protective hairstyles. So today I really wanted to showcase 10 of my favourite braided hair CC in one place. I made sure to include a nice variety of braid styles so every Sim can find something that fits their style and personality. All these hairstyles are maxis match and free to download, go and support all of these creators because they’re truly doing the gods work. I hope you find some new favourites in this list and enjoy. Happy modding!
