Four Versions: Bangs, Braids, Ombre Accessory, and 24 Swatches
The Holly Hairstyles collection is sculpted with straight, silky locks that fall gracefully past the shoulders. The creator sculpted four distinct variations within the package: two versions featuring straight, wispy blunt bangs, and two versions incorporating charming crown braids and delicate side plaits.
In addition to the main hairstyles, simstrouble provided a matching Ombré Accessory mapped into the CAS accessories catalog. This allows players to add stylish dip-dyed and gradient tones to the ends of the hair while preserving their chosen root color.
Key highlights of the Holly Hairstyles by simstrouble include:
- Four Distinct Hairstyle Versions: Includes 2 styles with bangs and 2 styles with delicate braided accents for versatile styling.
- Bonus Ombré Accessory Included: Custom accessory item enables trendy dip-dyed color gradients on the hair ends.
- Full 24 EA Swatch Palette: Features all official EA natural and fashion shades for seamless genetic continuity.

The braided variations feature exquisite 3D plait definition that wraps naturally around the crown. The texture maps capture soft clay highlights that avoid pixelated grain, ensuring smooth rendering up close in CAS and during Live Mode play.
The fringe options frame the forehead with natural softness, softening angular facial structures and complementing subtle eye makeup and glasses.
