mmcc lookbooks: Cultural Lookbook

Cultural Lookbook - African

There are not enough cultural items in the Sims 4. It is by far the most diverse of all the sims games, but we need way more of it! Since I’ve joined the dark side and started downloading custom content, I’ve been amazed with what players have been able to create.

Up next in my cultural lookbook series is traditional African clothing. Africa is a gigantic continent so clothing differs throughout each country. Clothing varies from brightly colored textiles, to abstractly embroidered robes, to colorful beaded bracelets and necklaces.

My favorite find from this "shopping trip" was Face Paint Baby Hair/Edges...game changer!

DOWNLOAD:

You can find this sim on the gallery under Origin ID: eregister or you can download the tray files here (mediafire, no ads.) You will still need to download all the CC for your sim to look like mine.

Disclaimer: I am a white woman. If I used something culturally inappropriate/insensitive, please tell me so I can learn and grow (and update the lookbook.) I never mean to stereotype or imply these are the only types of clothing people wear.

UPDATE:

I regret not splitting this lookbook up appropriately as North, South, East and West African Lookbooks. I will do better going forward.

Thank you CC creators and enjoy!
