Just a fair warning before we jump in; you’re going to see the words “grace,” “elegant,” and “delicate” pop up a lot in this article. I’d apologize, but I genuinely can’t think of words that better describe an elf.
Tall, long-limbed, and unfairly gorgeous, elves are a staple in almost any fantasy setting. So I get why you’d want to throw a couple in your game.
Here are some fun elven CC items (in Maxis Match!) to get you started.
I’ve always been a bit thrown off by how long the elves’ ears are in World of Warcraft. Honestly? The length’s a bit ridiculous. It’s a good thing the smooth edge tapering balances it out.
If you’re a big WoW fan, these custom ears would probably be your top pick.
Just watch out for possible clipping—especially with custom hairs.
The Altmer (colloquially called High Elves) are typecast into a bunch of intelligent but arrogant elves who believe themselves the superior race.
Unfortunately, they have the looks (and racial bonuses) to back it up. They’re the literal definition of tall, graceful, and elegant. If that sounds like the elven build you want, these ears are perfect.
If I know my fantasy lore (and I should hope I do), fresh, lush succulents are exactly the kind of adornments wood elves would integrate into their fashion.
Elves are the definition of class and sophistication, right?
As I mentioned earlier, they wouldn’t be caught dead in loud, tacky, costume-like jewelry.
Same concept applies to their makeup. Forget the cut crease, the smoky eyes, and the dark lip. Gluing delicate rhinestones around the eyes is definitely the way to go.
Citrontart took EA’s opulent party dress and turned it into a modest, tasteful goddess gown dripping in class.
The original ensemble from EA shows too much cleavage and has way too much glitter for any respectable elf to wear. This tarted-up version makes much more sense.
I am a huge, huge fan of tribal fantasy races (orcs, half-orcs, goblins, etc.)
So a wild mane of hair with feathers, skulls, and metal beads braided into it speaks to me on a spiritual level. I love the idea of a wilder, rougher elf sporting this ‘do. Maybe a wood elf, a dark elf, or any subspecies of elf that’s more rough-and-tumble than elegant-and-refined.
Now this is the hairstyle for those elegant-and-refined elves.
(High elves, pure elves—I’m looking at you).
Although elves (both male and female, actually) are typically portrayed as having long, flowing tresses, I think this straight, stylish pixie cut would look so distinguished and classy on an older elf — especially with that gorgeous silver flower band.
Tekri’s Lucrezia hair is definitely more in-line with what we expect traditional elven locks to be: soft waves, gentle curls, and some subtle, dainty headpieces as accessories.
21. Helen Braided Hair with Ribbon Accessory by oydis
Oydis’s Helen Braided Hair (with ribbon accessories) is actually a cool mix of “traditional elf” and “elf that maybe breaks the mold.”
I mean, it’s definitely neater than Teanmoon’s Lobelia hair (which, I repeat, I absolutely adore), but it’s not giving off the major “damsel-in-distress” vibes like tekri’s Lucrezia hair.
This hairstyle sort of feels like it was made for a Female Elf!Sim archer that’s pretty by-the-book but can hold her own in combat.
If my Sim needs to have flowers in their hair, I’d prefer this style.
The random braids throughout add more dimension to an otherwise typical hairstyle, and I love that you can still see the vines and stems that the flowers are attached to.
The flowers are also more draped in the hair (as opposed to dotting it, like simandy’s Zelda).
This is another unconventional hairstyle that I would love to see on more elves.
That intricate lotus shaved into the side-fade? It looks like a family crest or symbol that some strong-spirited, combat-happy elf would wear with pride. In their hair.
Hey, some elves wear their crest as jewelry.
Others have it shaved into the side of their head. Don’t judge.
I think it leans a little more druid than specifically elven, but druids can be elves! In fact, one would think that races so in tune with nature would be the ones best suited to protect nature, no?
Add some elf ears to the Sim in the preview photo and it looks like something straight out of Lord of the Rings!
