Of course, there are totally more creators that make excellent Maxis Match CC, but we can’t be here all day. You can find the Maxis Match Category in the downloads section to see all the CC here at The Sims Resource that are tagged by artists as Maxis Match.
What is Maxis Match
If you are brand new to The Sims, you may look at this like “ehhh, I have no idea what Jezi is talking about.” Rest assured that not only is this normal when referring to my babbling… but also there are different types of custom content. The two main types of CC are Alpha CC and Maxis Match CC. Today we are focusing on Maxis Match CC. Maxis Match CC basically means that it looks like it fits the game’s graphics.

When I look to classify CC, I generally look at the texture. For hair specifically, you will also sometimes see some hairs referred to as ‘clayified;’ this is due to The Sims 4 vanilla hairs having that clay look. Anything ultra-textured is generally not considered Maxis Match, as realistic textures do not match the Maxis animation style. (But alpha cc is still glorious.)
Why do Simmers like Maxis Match
Some Simmers like to use only certain types of CC, some like Alpha CC, and others like Maxis Match; I obviously use it ALL! Personally, for streaming or recording stories, I tend to like Maxis Match better. This gives a more natural Sims look to your Sims and many players like this. Another aspect many Simmers like is that Maxis Match generally is less taxing on your system. Technically speaking, this is because these pieces typically have less texture and are smaller files. However, this is not always the case. It is about preference, which is all in the player’s choice.
How To Find Maxis Match CC
The best way to find great Maxis Match CC is to start here at The Sims Resource! I know I am totally biased, but do you see how much CC we have here??? Like, come on, a no brainer. One place to find ALLLLL is this CC. So your second step would be to find a few or twenty artists here that you like their style of CC and then bookmark them.

Summary
I hope you have found more CC to download for your collection! We will keep doing these sorts of blogs so you can find themed or types of CC that you need. I tried to cover a broad range with these ten artists specializing in Maxis Match. I love CC, and I generally mix Alpha CC and Maxis Match. However, when I play, I lean more towards Maxis Match so that my townies match better to my created Sims. This way, I have plenty of time to give ALL my townies makeovers as I work my way around my neighborhoods with my hoard of CC!
