Character creation is one of the best parts of The Sims 4. But that doesn’t mean that all parts of character creation are created equal.
By the time I make it to jewelry, I find it’s so easy to just skip past it.
It’s such a small detail in the scheme of things, so does it really matter?
Yes. Yup. Definitely.
It really does make a difference, especially since it’s the perfect way to subtly inject some more personality into your sim’s appearance. And there is no better form of subtle jewelry than a good bracelet in a Maxis-match style.
And things get even better if you have a matching set.
Since both rings and bracelets are made to jazz up your hands, your sims will look wonderfully put-together if they use matching jewelry.
This simple strawberry set is made to be used in summer looks, and it shows. The bright red and green crystals look good enough to eat- although I wouldn’t recommend it.
There are 2 ring swatches (gold and silver) and 2 bracelet swatches (also gold and silver), so you can match the metallics with any other jewelry your sim is wearing.
Even with giant chunky or bright neon pieces of jewelry, there is a certain level of finesse that’s needed.
Unfortunately, a lot of original Maxis items aren’t great at balancing that subtlety. I guess that’s what we have content creators for!
This edit of the Get To Work pearl bracelet slims down the clunky original design to make a truly chic bracelet. Not only does it look great, it’s also far more suitable for work settings.
You’ll need the Get to Work pack here, but every original swatch will be included in this CC.
Is there a type of bracelet more famous than the braided friendship bracelet? I think not.
These Friendship Bracelets will live up to their name, and that’s a guarantee.
They’re colorful, braided, and tasseled, which are the definite features of true friendship in bracelet form.
And just like all friendship bracelets should be, this 5-in-one bracelet CC is highly customizable.
There are 16 colors, but you’ll be able to mix and match the different colors and patterns to your heart’s content. Or should I say to your best friend’s content?
This CC has 16 pride flag swatches, including less common (and equally as important) flags like the intersex flag and the demi girl/boy flags.
All of these bracelets are designed to fit on a male Sim. So while there are flags for non-binary identities, there doesn’t seem to be a lesbian flag or other WLW specific flag.
Accessories do lots of little things for an outfit.
They can make certain details pop, or be the missing piece to balance things out.
And this bracelet will give any sim that wears it a powerful presence.
It’s not strictly a snake bracelet like the much-beloved bracelet from the Sims 2, but it’ll do the trick in a pinch. By ‘the trick’, I mean scaring away unsuitable suitors, such as poorly designed townies.
It has 5 metallic swatches, all of which are gorgeous. Unfortunately, none of them are scaled.
The Rastaclat brand of bracelets is well-known for making durable, meaningful bracelets out of cord.
Even more impressive, in my opinion, is the fact that it makes just as many men’s bracelets as women’s.
The Knotaclat, which this CC is based off of, is meant to symbolize the past and present intertwining in a single knot. It also just plain looks cool, so there’s that.
This CC version comes in many of the original Knotaclat colors, including silver, black, white, and purple.
Like the Get to Work bracelet, this Leather Bracelet is a revamp of a bracelet in an EA gamepack.
There’s no better way to ensure your CC is Maxis-match, I suppose.
This time, it’s a small leather bracelet with a medallion from the Jungle Adventure pack.
As wonderful as the big original bracelet is, this little one deserves its own spot in the sun – which is exactly what this CC provides.
It comes in the same 3 swatches that were originally available to it in the Jungle Adventure pack, so you won’t be missing out on anything in that regard.
This Maxis-match bracelet is more simplistic than some of the other bracelets on the list.
Don’t mistake that to mean that it’s plain, though!
The brown cord is dotted with colorful jewels, which are what really make this bracelet pop. They also make it match perfectly with the other piece in the GVEN set, a cute necklace. And you can download them together or separately.
Although I can’t speak on the necklace, this bracelet has 4 color options. The cord color doesn’t change, but the jewel colors do.
