I feel like some work without any hair base and some do.
So, I will ONLY do hair bases on sims who have ZERO hair not in their faces.
Male sims I will include a hair base due to some people do not want to use any cc or maxis hair for their characters. Now if you do commissions with me and do not want any hair base on male or female, please make this known at the time of putting your commission/commissions in.
I have tested today 3 sims and personally do not like the bald look, but I am willing to compromise with others in making some with and some without.
I also tested CC hairs and non-CC hairs with my hair bases and some of the converted cc hair does mess with the hair base, but the main hair creators' content does not. If this makes sense lol.
Hair base cc in skin details that others have created sometimes shows up on custom body skins and some does not this has nothing to do personally with my content. I have tested it out on other custom skins by other creators as well. It depends on the hair base cc you are using.
Above are images of no hair base, Semi hair base and full hair base
Also included are the examples of when I will use a hair base and when I will not use one. I prefer using pics that do not have hair in the face at all due to making awful shadows on sides of sims faces. Also, I do like to include some shadows "not from hair" as I think it brings realism and depth to my creations.
Brittany Snow which I think does not look realistic has no hair base
Perrie Edwards has a semi half hair base, and I am showing her with cc hair with no problem
My non celeb sim has a full hair base, and I even show her with a different color hair and no problem
Any questions or concerns feel free to message me or comment below!! Back to photoshop I go!!!
