Best Sims 4 Braids CC for Every Sim (Male, Female & All Ages)

Braids are one hair category I never get tired of collecting. This Sims 4 braids CC list brings together styles for male and female Sims across every age.

Braided hairstyles can completely change how a Sim looks, and there are far too many good ones scattered around for me to keep track of them all. So I decided they needed a proper list of their own.

I’ve gathered Sims 4 braids CC for the whole household, not just adult female Sims. There are options for male and female Sims, along with hairstyles for infants, toddlers, children, teens, adults, and elders. You’ll spot EVERYTHING from long braids and braided ponytails to buns, pigtails, shorter styles, and more detailed looks.

Since I already have plenty of general hair posts, I wanted this page to stay specifically about braids. It should make things much easier when you already know exactly what hairstyle you want instead of scrolling through another giant mixed hair list. 🪮

And knowing how often new hair CC appears, I’m sure this page will gain a few more braids along the way.

Sims 4 Braids CC

Daylife Sims Hair Conversions – Waterlily

I added these to my child hair folder because the four styles give me a nice mix instead of feeling too similar. Alicia and Alissa are great when I want long braids, while Alysea v2 has that cute half-up look I use a lot for everyday outfits.

Janey v2 stood out to me most because of the side ponytail and curled ends.

I also like the little accessories and loose strands, which make the hairstyles feel more detailed in-game. They’re really handy when I need more Sims 4 child braids CC for different personalities and outfits.

Sims 4 Eira Hair CC – Miiko

Soft little flowers tucked through the braids are what made this hairstyle stand out to me first. The two long plaits have a gentle, slightly romantic look, and the loose front pieces keep everything from feeling too formal.

I’ve used it for garden outfits, weddings, and fantasy-style Sims, but it still looks lovely with simple everyday clothes. The floral details add just enough decoration without making the hair feel too busy.

It’s one of those styles that works especially well when I want a softer, more delicate look.

Sims 4 Long Braids CC – Simandy

That loose, slightly messy finish is what makes this braid feel so easy to use in everyday outfits.

The long plait sits neatly down the back, while the soft front pieces give the hair a more relaxed shape around the face. I really like the little ribbon at the end because it adds a sweet detail without making the style feel too dressed up.

It worked especially well for my cottage-style and casual Sims, but I could easily see it fitting school, garden, or simple summer looks too. The whole style has that soft, lived-in feel I tend to reach for a lot.

Sims 4 Doll Braids CC – Arethabee

The extra-long pigtail braids are what pulled me into this hairstyle first, especially with how clean they fall down the front.

The middle part keeps the look neat, while the loose face-framing strands stop it from feeling too polished. I tried it with sporty outfits and casual streetwear in my game, and it suited both really well.

The braid length also gives the style a bold look without needing any extra accessories. I’d use this one for Sims who need something fun, youthful, and easy to match with different outfits.

Sims 4 Megan Hair CC – Clumsyalien

Something about the chunky twin braids and soft curtain pieces makes this hairstyle feel a little different from the others in my folder.

The layers around the face give it a relaxed, slightly messy finish that I really like in-game. I’ve used it on casual everyday Sims, but it also works nicely for cottage, fantasy, or cozy autumn looks.

The braids have plenty of volume, so the style still stands out even with a simple outfit. It’s one of those hairs I keep coming back to when I want something pretty but not overly polished.

Sims 4 Reina Hair CC – TwistedCat

Reina has a soft romantic look with a thick side braid, loose waves around the face, and a little bow tied near the end. The braid feels full and detailed, while those curled front pieces keep the style from looking too neat.

I’d use this for everyday outfits, cottage-style Sims, dates, weddings, or autumn looks where you want something feminine but still relaxed.

TwistedCat gives it that slightly storybook feel, but it still works really well for normal gameplay too.

Sims 4 Half-Up Braids CC – Sleepingsims

The half-up ponytail is what caught my eye first, especially with all those tiny braids flowing around the face.

I really like how the pulled-back section keeps it tidy while the longer braids still give the style plenty of movement. It looked great on my Sim with casual tops, hoops, and simple everyday outfits.

The loose front pieces also make the hairstyle feel softer instead of too neat. This is one I’d use a lot for sporty, streetwear, or relaxed everyday looks.

Sims 4 Nala Boho Braids CC – Arethabee

The mix of tiny braids and loose waves is what makes this hairstyle feel so pretty to me. I love how the braided sections frame the face while the longer wavy pieces keep everything soft and relaxed. It looked especially nice on my Sim with simple summer outfits and boho-style tops.

The little baby hairs around the front are a lovely extra detail too. This is definitely one I’d reach for when I want a hairstyle that feels detailed but still easy to use for everyday looks.

Sims 4 Lottie Braids CC – Dogsill

The double buns with those extra-long braids make this hairstyle such a fun one to use. I really like the straight bangs too, because they give the whole look a cute, slightly playful finish. It worked especially well on my Sim with casual outfits and colorful streetwear.

The braids hanging down on both sides add plenty of shape, while the buns keep the top from feeling too simple. Definitely a style I’d pick when I want something youthful, bold, and a little different from my usual hairs.

Sims 4 Braids and Curls – Daylifesims

The curled ends are what sold me on this one because they give the whole style so much personality. I love how the tiny braids stay neat through the top and then open into those big, bouncy curls at the bottom. The little twisted sections near the crown add another cute detail without making the hair feel too busy.

I tried it with party outfits and more casual looks, and it worked surprisingly well for both. The different color options are also fun when I want something a little more playful than a single shade.

Sims 4 Basil Braids CC – Sleeping Sims

What I like most about this style is how clean the braids look while still feeling relaxed enough for everyday outfits. The face-framing pieces give it a softer shape, and the little clip detail adds just enough personality.

I tried it with simple tops and casual looks, and it blended in really naturally. The middle part also keeps everything looking neat without making the style feel too formal. It’s an easy one to use when I want something simple but still a little more interesting than straight hair.

 Kemi & Abbie Hair by LeahLillith

Kemi and Abbie give you two very different braided looks in one set, which I really like. Kemi has neat braided sections pulled into one extra-long braid down the back, while Abbie feels softer and more relaxed with a chunky loose braid and face-framing pieces.

I’d use Kemi for polished everyday looks, formal outfits, or Sims who suit cleaner styling. Abbie works beautifully for cottage, western, or casual countryside outfits, especially with hats and softer clothing.

Sims 4 Quintah Boho Braids CC – Orchiona

If you’re always on the hunt for braided styles that feel a little softer and more effortless, this one is such a pretty find. The Quintah Boho Braids have that loose, curly finish that gives the hair a relaxed and slightly dressy look at the same time.

I really like how these braids frame the face without looking too stiff, so they work well for everyday Sims, stylish party outfits, or even more polished looks. They’re the kind of hairstyle that can easily make a Sim stand out while still feeling wearable.

Sims 4 Visenya Hair by Sondescent

Visenya has such a dramatic fantasy look, with thick bangs in front and a long side braid falling over one shoulder. I like how the braid keeps the style elegant, while the fuller crown and loose front pieces stop it from feeling too strict.

This would be perfect for royalty saves, medieval or fantasy Sims, formal outfits, or even softer gothic looks. Sondescent also includes 27 swatches, so you can keep it natural or go for deeper reds, pastels, and more unusual colors.

Sims 4 Leigh Braids CC – Valia

Leigh is such a pretty double-braid style, with a clean center part and two long chunky braids falling over the shoulders. The little bows and decorative bead details at the ends are my favorite part because they make the hairstyle feel a bit more special instead of just another basic braid.

I’d use this for western looks, countryside saves, casual everyday outfits, or Sims who suit softer feminine styles.

It also works really well with hats, so it’s a nice choice for ranch, farm, or cottage-inspired gameplay.

Dixie Hair by LeahLillith

Dixie has such a pretty country-inspired braid, with braided sections pulled back into a long bubble-style ponytail and soft pieces left loose around the face. The patterned scarf tied at the back is my favorite detail because it gives the whole hairstyle a bit more personality.

I’d use this for ranch Sims, countryside saves, summer outfits, or softer everyday looks with a western touch.

LeahLillith keeps the style polished but still relaxed, so it works just as well with casual tops as it does with dressier cottage-inspired outfits.

Hime Hairs by Imvikai 

This hair instantly gives that bold, stylish look that stands out in CAS. The long length, soft braided texture, and full hime-style bangs make it feel trendy but still really wearable for different Sims. I also love that it comes in three versions, so it’s easy to switch things up depending on the vibe you want.

It feels perfect for fashion-forward Sims, especially if you like creating characters with a cute but slightly edgy style.

The overall shape frames the face so nicely, and honestly, this is the kind of hairstyle that can carry an entire outfit on its own.

Estelle Hair by Sunivaa

Estelle has that loose, romantic braid look I always end up saving for softer Sims. The hair falls into a long, slightly messy braid at the back, with wispy pieces around the face that keep it from looking too neat.

I like that Sunivaa included two versions, because the front changes the mood quite a bit. One feels more relaxed with loose strands, while the other is cleaner and pulled back.

This would work really well for cottagecore Sims, fantasy saves, everyday outfits, or any look where you want something pretty but not overly styled.

Pastoral Hairstyle by Shimydim

Pastoral Hairstyle has such a soft countryside look, with loose face-framing pieces and a long braid that feels a little messy in the best way. I really like the way the braid starts higher at the back because it gives the style more shape instead of just hanging straight down.

It also works nicely on both female and male Sims, which makes it feel more useful in CAS.

With 113 colors, there’s plenty to play with too. I’d use this for cottagecore outfits, farm saves, historical-inspired looks, or any Sim who suits something gentle and a little rustic.

Jessica’s Whimsy Braids CC – Orchiona

Jessica’s Whimsy Braids are such a pretty braided style if you like a little softness around the face. The two long braids have loose curly pieces woven through them, and I really like the tiny wisps around the hairline because they stop the style from looking too neat.

There’s a slightly whimsical, almost boho feel to this one, but it still works really well for everyday Sims.

I’d use it for casual outfits, summer looks, university Sims, or anyone who suits a long braided hairstyle with a bit more texture.

Belladonna Braids by Imvikai

Belladonna Braids are such a pretty option if you want long braided hair with a softer, slightly messy finish. The style mixes braids with loose wavy pieces, and I really like how the strands fall around the face instead of looking too neat or tightly styled.

The extra-long length gives the hair a bit of drama, but it still feels easy enough for everyday Sims. I’d use this for casual outfits, boho looks, alternative Sims, or any Sim who suits long braids with lots of texture and movement.
