As a kid, I watched a lot of anime. I sort of lost interest as I grew older, but I’ve watched enough to know the stereotypes and tropes.
Now, current popular shows like Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia seem to have infiltrated the Sims community as well. There are a lot of CC creators coming out with anime-inspired CAS items.
If the cross-section between anime and TS4 content interests you too, then this list should help!
We’ve curated dozens of pieces inspired by anime series like Naruto, Sailor Moon, and Full Metal Alchemist. To keep things neat and organized, I even broke this list up into categories for CC specific to some shows.
Speaking as someone who knows virtually nothing about this show, I’m pretty lost. But I am also not surprised, as the creativity-plus-wacky-concept-combination in anime knows no bounds.
Whoever this character is, they at least look like they can wield them swords like a pro.
Check the description to see this CC set’s inclusions!
A quick Google search was enough to tell me that this is the girl I keep seeing whenever Demon Slayer is referenced. I don’t know if Nezuko Kamado is the main protagonist or not, but I see her freaking everywhere.
And despite not knowing a thing about her, I love her character design.
This set contains everything you need to recreate her in-game, like her hair and her clothing. The creator even links her iconic bamboo muzzle in the notes (so I’ll link it here, too!).
If MHA’s crazy anime hairstyles is your biggest concern when recreating them Heroes in TS4 (which, yeah; understandable), then you need this CC pack by Botrum-U1.
It includes the spiky, gravity-defying, unnaturally-colored hair of five fellows from the main cast: Midoriya, Bakugou, Todoroki, Kirishima, and Kaminari.
Aizawasbby’s custom hair pack is here to further expand your crazy MHA hair catalog! Add these seven funky new haircuts on top of the existing five from Botrom-U1’s pack.
They’re not as gravity-defying, but they’re still pretty impossible to achieve with EA’s normal, vanilla array.
This character definitely looks like she’s a fun one to have around.
They say not to judge a book by its cover – or a hero by their costume – but any Sim that can hop around in a frog suit and still kick ass (I’m assuming) gets an automatic invite to all the parties.
If you watched the exploits of Uzumaki Naruto (titular character of the show) from beginning to end, then this CC set may spark some heavy nostalgia.
It contains the three major versions of his unforgettably orange ninja costume: his original Genin outfit, his classic black-and-orange Shippuden outfit, and his spiffy Hokage garb.
There are also some extra CAS stuff (accessories, face paint, etc.) thrown in the mix to add more detail to each ensemble.
This custom hair pack gives us three of the more iconic – and difficult! – hairstyles in the show.
Some of the ninjas manage to get by with fairly normal-looking haircuts, but a chunk of the main cast definitely sports some difficult, physics-defying ‘dos.
Madara, Sasuke, and Gaara are three such examples.
Another awesome custom clothing pack from Happytobe!
This pack contains the standard Chuunin/Jounin ninja uniform from Naruto: thick army vests over long-sleeved turtlenecks and comfortable capris.
What’s amazing is that the creator includes a lot of variations to this outfit similar to what the characters do in the show—like crop their jacket or swap their turtlenecks for regular, short-sleeved tees.
Basically, little fashion choices that reflect the character’s personality.
It’s insanely extensive and incredibly detailed, and I highly recommend you read the whole post just to see how many they included!
MM Avatar: The Last Airbender & Legend of Korra CC
As a long-time fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender (and its sequel, Legend of Korra), these are CC items that I can wholeheartedly recommend. Starting with this gorgeous custom outfit from margosims.
If you want one of the greatest master waterbenders of all time in your game, you need this clothing set ASAP.
This may not have her hair loopies, but the silhouette is still on-point. Low ponytail, middle part, and some errant strands framing the face. It comes in EA’s 18-color palette which, thankfully, includes Katara’s beautiful brown shade.
Korra’s temper may be more firebender than waterbender, but at least she still wears her home nation’s colors with pride.
If you’d like to recreate this fiery, feisty, multi-element bender in your game, Simcandescent’s TS4 take on her gorgeous turtleneck top and combat gloves is sublime.
Even though I personally love Korra’s hair in the last two seasons (she totally rocked that blunt cut), I also know that her high-pony-plus-face-framing-strands look is iconic.
(Right up there with Katara’s hair loopies).
So if you prefer First Appearance!Korra, lazycashew’s got you covered.
24. Avatar Aang’s Airbender Tattoos and Scars by Velouriah
The little 12-year-old monk that we all fell in love with.
Literally the world’s most precious cinnamon roll.
Aang’s pretty easy to recreate in-game, what with his shaved head, standard lithe frame, and easygoing features. But this custom CAS item is the one surefire way to let everyone know he’s definitely the Avatar: his well-deserved airbending tattoos.
To start our miscellaneous non-show-specific anime CAS CC section of this list, here are some stereotypically huge, glittering, anime-style eyes by Vyuna!
Anime characters are known for 1) their crazy hair, and 2) their big, glittering peepers that take up half their face. These custom ones fit the bill for sure; big, sparkly, and mesmerizing.
This set’s a little more multicolored than Vyuna’s Saimi Anime eyes, with each style option having at least three colors mixed in the iris. It’s also accentuated with a very thick, very prominent cat-eye wing and long bottom lashes.
If you watch a lot of anime – especially slice-of-life anime – then you’re probably intimately familiar with this uniform style.
If the main setting of the show is a school, you can bet most (if not all) of the female characters will appear in this style of clothing 85% of the time.
And here’s the guy character equivalent of the previous Long Sleeve Uniform item.
Again, if the anime you’re watching features mostly students, this all-black-with-shiny-gold-buttons ensemble probably shows up on the screen nine times out of ten.
Speaking of sailor, have you ever seen Sailor Moon?
I feel like it’s one of those dubbed anime shows that everyone just unknowingly watched because nothing else was on.
Regardless, the titular character Usagi Tsukino (or Serena Tsukino in English) is pretty darn famous. And so is her long-pigtails-topped-with-meatball-buns hairstyle.
I genuinely thought this character (apparently a robot?) was from a Nier video game, but there is also apparently an anime version of the franchise.
So I’m keeping her here because 2B is one of those characters that pop up freaking everywhere.
I may not know her too well, but I know of her. And I think it’s cool that you can recreate her look in TS4 with just the right haircut and head accessories.
However, there is an anime for Final Fantasy VII, so he also gets a pass here.
Which is great, because I am living for the flows-in-the-wind version of this hair (which you can download from the same page). It is so painfully dramatic in the best possible way.
All the characters with hairstyles represented here are pretty iconic — to the point that even casual fans can probably guess who they’re looking at just by the silhouette.
And as you can see from the preview .gif alone, this pack has a lot of silhouette options.
