Whether you’re going out for a stroll or to a special event, your hairdo can make or break your outfit.
Have you ever spent hours creating new exciting looks for your lovely sim, just to end up at a party with the same hairstyle as every other gal? Disappointing.
In the past I have seen some pretty good Inuyasha character mods. Sadly I can't find one. What I would love to see is more cosplay content. I think I would love to have a house full of Sailor Senshi. Nightcrawler Hair. Look, as much as I love long hair in this game, I couldn’t really avoid putting this.
An updo can make any outfit snag that extra “umph”. I think there’s a level of regalness to it.
But before that, you might want to check out our Mega Guide: Mods and CC for The Sims 4 for a more comprehensive guide that details everything you need to know about The Sims 4 Mods and Custom Content. Here are the must-have body mods for the Sims 4 – from skins to hair sets, eyes, piercings, and more. Find Sims 4 cc in SimsDay. Artists' share photos and custom contents here. Find friends, and even find amazing artists here. Merman Simmer, a modder for The Sims 4, has recently released two videos showcasing his work on hair animation mods. Not only is he working on getting dynamics to work on Maxis hair, he has also started working on Custom Content hairstyles as well! Back in 2013, EA Spain published an article claiming that “wind”.
And there’s no hair discrimination either, with plenty of CC options for curly, medium-length, short, wavy, or straight hair.
So I took the time to make a list of my favorite updo’s (for sim ladies of all walks of life). Check ‘em out and feel free to grab any that stand out!
8. Bubblegum Hairstyle
This messy topknot with the most adorable fringe can be worn for sporty/casual events, or even more formal if you dress up.
Our lovely CC designer LeahLillith really went all-out on this!
The CC has 51 different colors to choose from, so there’s a lot here.
That’s a new color every day of the week for over a month. Talk about variety.
Whether you have an angsty teenager wanting a fresh style, or a mom of three looking for some change, this updo can suit them all by adding that extra uppity goodness to their look.
7. Elsa Coronation Hairstyle
The Elsa Coronation hairstyle from KikiSimLive is for all my Disney and Frozen fans out there!
Seriously, who didn’t love the Ice Queen’s regal updo?
The Sims 4 Anime Mod
This could be worn as a daily look, cause who isn’t a Queen on a daily basis?
Or maybe save it for a wedding day and surprise your future spouse(and you’ll need a gorgeous dress to go with it).
Note this one does require the Get Famous expansion pack, but if you’ve got it already then this updo is definitely a great look to debut with.
6. Twisted Natural Updo
Show off those curls, girls!
This twisted natural curly updo with the “finest slayed edges” is the look I would do if I knew how to tame my curly fro.
I’m not very capable of styling my naturally curly hair, so I let my Sim slay instead!
With four colors available here, your virtual lady has everything she needs for an adorable updo on demand.
5. WINGS Updo
If you haven’t seen Saoirse Ronan in Little Women, check it out immediately! She’s my 2020 girl crush!
This look designed by wingssims comes right from that, plus you’ll get 18 different colors that all give off Saoirse Ronan vibes.
It’s a very simple yet romantic look, with soft waves and a braided top-knot. It’s a hairdo that’s versatile and can dress up any casual outfit.
If you have the Dine Out expansion pack then sport this look to impress your romantic interest. Success guaranteed!
4. The Incomparable Updo
Corsets and carriages and princes, oh my!
The Sims 4 Anime Hair Mods
How about we take a stroll back in time?
The Incomparable Updo CC by historicalsimslife is for all those that wish they were born during the time of wizards, monarchs, and King Arthur.
For those that have the Sims Medieval game or want to throw a medieval-themed party, you’ll love this simple yet elegant look.
Or if you just like old-timey hairdos then this one is a sure thing.
With 13 hair colors to choose from and a headscarf that comes in 16 colors, you’ll absolutely find something to match that cute outfit you just bought. And you’ll surely be the incomparable beauty of the social affair.
3. Aria Hairstyle
We don’t always have time for intricate updos in our day-to-day.
And yes, even in sims-life we can be in a rush…
This simple slick topknot is very chic and lets you adorable ladies show off your face, earrings, and other accessories.
DarkNighTt created this look with 40 color options, and it’s even compatible with hats too.
Give your Sim that slick updo look that celebrities like Zendaya, Hailey Bieber, and the Kardashians sport on the runway.
2. Lisa Ponytail
When it comes to hairstyles, makeup, and fashion, let’s give credit where it’s due: K-pop has taken over the scene.
Anto’s sleek high ponytail with a thick fringe is just plain adorable. Inspired by Lisa from Blackpink, this CC comes in 60 stunning colors. Yes, that’s a lot!
And I’ll admit, I even attempted this look on myself… (wish there was CC for real life, who’s got the time!)
Wear this for a cool look, on a date, or even to a concert and you’ll look BOMBAYAH!
1. Myla Hair
A top bun with chopsticks: what’s not to love here?
This updo really could work in almost any event. Well, maybe not prom.
But if you dress up a bit this could totally match a cocktail dress. Or if you keep the bun a little messy then why not wear it around the house on a lazy Sunday?
Super cute, super chic. Just what the hair doctor ordered.
Bonus: UpDo Dread Locks for Men (Jacob Hair)
Who said Updos were only for women?
This look is for our gents and it’s one of the few that I really wanted to include, so I’m counting this as a bonus CC to add into the mix.
This dreadlock updo gives off chill Bob Marley vibes, with the coolest braided dread bun you’ll find on a guy.
Creator BirkschesSimBlog has other impressive looks too, but this one really stands out.
If you’re going on a beach date or for a casual daily look, this male updo is surely the way to go. It’s also compatible with hats so whip out those beanies and pull off that hippie/rocker look!

In the Sims 4, you can be whoever you want.
Whether you want to create an exact clone of yourself (minus the childhood trauma), a bloodsucking vampire (minus actual eternal damnation) or even live in the world of Star Wars (minus Darth Vader breathing down your neck), expansion packs and the abundance of CC make it ridiculously easy to create your own world.
Vikings are a popular choice among Simmers who want to live their Nordic fantasy. So popular that before the Star Wars expansion was revealed (Journey to Batuu), fans thought The Sims would finally explore the life of these seafaring Norse people with a Vikings expansion.
Alas, that was not the case.
Don’t fret, though!
Even if your Viking knowledge is limited to The Mighty Thor and his trusty Mjolnir, we won’t judge. Just dive into our list of some awesome Viking mods & custom content below. Get your Viking on!
10. Fur Cloak
Kicking our list off is a fur cloak created by Natalia Auditore.
Fur was definitely in during the Viking Age.
Vikings created these from animal pelts collected from hunts to keep them warm during those long travels at sea and when winter comes (with or without frost zombies). Nobody probably told them that they’d rather be naked than wear fur during those times.
Both males and females can use the cloak with 10 color swatches to choose from.
The cloak will pair well with chain mail and warrior costumes plus a furry boot. Rumors have it that it goes well with the birthday suit too… but you didn’t hear that from us.
100% guaranteed to make you feel fresh while entering Valhalla.
9. Viking Costume
You don’t need to come from Scandinavia and speak Old Norse to sport this Viking costume by Alial Sim.
In fact, you don’t need to be a Viking to wear this at all.
So go on, dress for the job you want!
This legit-looking costume is so far from the supermarket costumes that you see every time October rolls around.
It features a cat emblem on the chest plate, which is the favorite animal of the fertility goddess Freyja. Not tested to raise your Charisma. WooHoos are not guaranteed.
8. Vikings Shield
When you decide to role play, man, you gotta commit.
However, the lack of Viking items in The Sims 4 can make it a bit hard to. But commit you shall with this Vikings shield created by Zaneida.
This is a wooden wall decoration that comes in 6 designs, perfect to adorn your home at Jomsborg.
Unfortunately, your sim can’t carry this around and add to their fitness points (these things are heavy!)
But they will give your abode a nice feel that says “I may look skinny but I got shields”.
7. Celtic Dress
Is your Sim a bored housewife, tired of sewing all day long while waiting for your seafarer Viking man to come home from all of his exciting adventures?
Same.
Look the part with the Celtic Dress Number 2 created by Historical Sims Life.
The dress comes in 9 muted colors and can be paired well with side braids to complete your longing Norse housewife look.
6. Viking Earrings
Love Vikings and the Norse lore but want to keep it on the down-low?
Cosplay not for you?
Keep it simple with these Viking earrings by Genius666. The earrings are reminiscent of old Norse symbols and feels close to Freyja’s symbol.
Again, WooHoos are not guaranteed!
This earring is fashionable enough that it can be paired with modern clothing, and best worn with formal dresses.
5. Viking Hat
Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is really no historical evidence that Viking helmets had horns.
But it totally looks cool right? High five, pop culture!
Don’t listen to the nay-sayers and get this Viking Hat by necrodog.
Originally from TS2, necrodog decided to convert this for TS4.
It has all the elements to make a Viking: horns, fur and Nordic symbols. Now all you need is a ship and you’re all set.
This will totally go nicely with Alial Sim’s Viking costume included above.
4. Ragnar Hair
No one’s slick as Ragnar, no one’s quick as Ragnar. No one’s neck is incredibly thick as Ragnar’s.
Wait, I think we got the wrong guy. Anyhoo…
Ragnar Lodbrok is a name every Viking enthusiast should know. He was a legendary king and was the main protagonist of the hit show Vikings, where Leah Lilith obviously patterned this hair after.
This hair comes in 42 swatches, wearable both by men and women. Could also totally be a modern day hair of a guy you see buying a pack of Four Lokos in the gas station.
3. Maze Hair
I mentioned earlier that it doesn’t matter if your Vikings knowledge only is limited to Thor.
If you’re still here, I gotchu fam.
The Maze hair by Becca is almost identical to what the God of Thunder sports.
Effortless and stylish, it ensures that not too much hair goes in your eyes while you fly across Asgard.
It’s available for male teens to elders and comes in a whopping 73 colors, but let’s be real here.. you know you’re gonna use that blonde.
2. The Fluff Beard
Viking beards aren’t always long and lushy.
A budding Viking probably spent months or even years growing that baby out.
Relive that process with Igor Sims’ The Fluff beard, or as we like to call it – the beard starter pack.
This CC comes in 18 swatches and two versions, with and without a handlebar mustache.
Cause let’s face it, ain’t no Viking got time to style that.
1. Stormheim Beard
It seems like Vikings would’ve gotten their Viking card revoked without the absence of a long, luscious beard.
As their ancient saying goes: the longer the beard, the closer to Odin.
Okay, just totally made that up… doesn’t make it untrue, though!
Have you seen a more lush set of beard than this Stormheim beard from Valhallan sim? A conversion from one of the races in arguably the most popular MMORPG out there, the beard comes in all of the existing hair swatches.
Now it’s not compatible with hats, but with a beard looking like this.. do you need more accessories?
