If the accessories section of Create-A-Sim was a physical jewelry box, it’d be rather empty.
And I mean, we can’t expect the same variety we have in real life, with hundreds of options at our disposal… but that’s kind of exactly what CC gives us.
Chances are, if you like earrings, then you have a lot of them. Cheap cute ones, expensive diamonds, seasonal pairs you’ll only wear once a year…they all have their rightful place.
Choosing the right earrings to compliment an outfit is fun when you have more to browse through.
And Simmers who have logged hundreds of hours are probably eager for more – so here’s our selection of Maxis Match earrings that truly stand out.
Simlish isn’t just the chosen language for this game – it has also become a little bit like a secret code among players.
Nobody but a Simmer will just nod along in solidarity when someone says, “oh feebee lay!”
This gibberish is not only recognizable to dedicated players, but a very familiar, fun reminder of our favorite game.
The same thing can kind of be said for society, right? I know, pretty deep.
Jewelry, clothes, and tattoos have all used words to their advantage.
I’m sure we all remember the horrendous days of sweatpants with words on the butt, and earrings are clearly a superior stylistic choice as far as that goes.
This CC is a Sim’s version of that trend.
Combined, these earrings say “sul sul”, meaning hello.
They come with some really bright colors as well as the basics like white, brown, and gray.
Great things come in generally small packages, and all you need is an ear lobe.
These are really cute, using the classic and lovely heart shape to its fullest.
The pastel colors fit them well and the tiny cloud details almost feel ethereal.
Alexaarr did a great job of coming up with something that’s modern and trendy. I’m sure there’s something just like these on Etsy.
Sim’s jewelry probably takes about the same amount of skill and effort. Everything about these are perfect, from the size to the vaguely glossy finish.
Bees have been getting a bad rap for years. They can terrorize you with their stingers, but fuel the planet with their pollinating abilities.
But they are kind of sweet with their fuzzy little bodies.
This set may not have the fuzz, but it does capture their charm.
And these earrings are simple studs, complete with stripe outlines and wings. They’re quite small, so it won’t seem like your Sim has an over-the-top love for bees or anything.
Plus, just in case you’re a Simmer who likes to get matchy-matchy, there’s a necklace with the exact same little bumblebee on a chain!
Hoops have been one of the simplest options for decades.
When you just want something to throw on with an everyday outfit, there’s no better earring for the job.
But the only ones we have in The Sims 4 base game aren’t super subtle.
Veranka’s smaller hoops are great for a more understated touch when accessorizing. They still have the standard metallic swatches you’d expect, which is another reason they’re so versatile.
Silver, black, and gold never clash against anything, it’s impossible!
This is some of the funniest and most bizarre CC ever.
Unique things like this are why unofficial content is so important. I pity the console players who have to miss out on this type of brilliance… those poor souls.
No, your eyes do not deceive you – this creator really made a Barbie head into an earring.
This project (or work of art if you will) was inspired by IRL earrings found on Pinterest.
So while it’s not totally a product of QwertySims’ imagination, I must say it’s admirable that they saw these and decided Sims needed them. They were right.
What’s so amazing about this is that it’s absolutely flawless. You’d think at the very least, an earring based on a Barbie head would be a little rough to create…if it was, there’s no way to tell.
The doll head is smooth, detailed, and comes with an impressive variety. There are several skin tones and hair colors and it really does look like the Sim’s version of a Barbie.
On the other ear will not be another head, but an eyeball.
The fun just never ends here.
Being Maxis Match, it’s exactly like the game’s graphics style so it’ll look just like your Sim’s own eyes in terms of detail.
A great choice whether you just want something for Spooky Day, or some quirky accessories for your eccentric Sims (who may also want some Barbie-themed CC too).
As cool as these wacky accessories are, most of the time you’ll probably be scouring CAS for something a little more, well… normal.
Pearls are the ultimate embodiment of sophistication.
In some families, pieces have been handed down through generations and they can be worn today just as they were in the 1940s. For the most part, anyway.
What’s considered formalwear today is often more like everyday outfits back then.
So you can find a balance of using “fancy” jewelry with your Sim’s outfits without having them look like they have a formal dinner party every night, unless that’s what you want.
Even if these do only make an appearance when your Sim has an important engagement, it’ll be well worth it. However you use these mid-sized hoops, adorned with perfect pearls, it’s a win-win situation.
Beaches are suspiciously absent from The Sims 4 for the most part. Yet they were part of every single world in The Sims 3 and provided a lot of fun.
It’s good we have options beyond coastal towns now – but the sunny beaches are sorely missed in all worlds except Sulani.
Seeing these earrings might take you back there if you, too, spent countless hours having your Sims wade in the water and down drinks at the bar rather than eat.
Alexaarr’s plastic, pixel-y palm earrings capture the essence of a beach day.
They’ll be a fantastic addition to any summer outfit, or even added to your Sim’s swimwear.
Simmers are back at it again with more solar earrings.
Natural things somehow always make the best accessories and decals. Flowers have been popular for quite a while, and lately celestial objects have been in the spotlight.
Anessasims keeps it lowkey here with these small star studs.
They may be small, but they’ll definitely have a big impact on your Sim’s appearance.
Planets or asteroids may seem more exciting – but stars are actually a great neutral piece.
You’ll have a hard time finding an outfit where they aren’t appropriate!
On the contrary, I think these are a classic in the making just like hearts.
One look at this is all it will take to blow your mind. These strawberries really do like they’re fresh from the market and dipped in a fondue pot of chocolate, then placed on hooks.
Earrings intended just for the guys aren’t too common…
But Onyx Sims has a great masculine option in this CC.
For something typically masculine, you can’t beat tools and hardware. These bolts are surprisingly stylish and even though they’re small, they’ll easily stand out when your Sim wears them.
Black, silver, as brass swatches are available here, which are nice neutral tones for any appearance.
They’re regular studs too – just hexagon shaped and with a hole through the middle.
Oh, and as if it’s not already cool enough… child Sims can wear them as well!
Only the coolest kids get to rock piercings. So I’m glad in a way we don’t have a ton of child earrings in the game.
Two-for-one offers are pretty much always wonderful – but they’re particularly special when it’s custom content for our Sims.
Once you find a Simmer whose stuff you like, there’s nothing better than “CC shopping” through their entire catalogue.
Well since Ghostputty released these two pairs of earrings at once as part of an advent calendar, it’s like a shortcut.
They have a lot in common.
Both pairs are really well done, gorgeous, and perfect. Not that I’m biased or anything.
First, there are the hoops.
There’s a bit of a vintage feel and the white daisies against the colorful, solid background are very striking. With 25 swatches, you’re bound to find something you like.
Then we have the daisy earrings themselves, which are composed almost entirely of a flower.
They have a lovely design, and the size is ideal.
You won’t miss them, but they’re not so big as to look gaudy either.
Creator ZiachiSims made these with Halloween in mind – but I know I can’t be the only one who thinks sword earrings are good enough to wear year-round.
Think of all the history that has been made with those trusty steel blades.
