Every time autumn and winter roll around, I have the urge to dress my Sims in the greatest of seasonal fashion. It doesn’t matter whether or not it’s actually those seasons in the game – the holiday spirit just gets in my bones!
Sweaters, I would argue, are the epitome of seasonal fashion.
They’re warm, cute, and layerable, which means that they can be made to suit uncomfortably cold weather or pleasantly cool weather.
And when it comes to Maxis-match sweaters in The Sims 4, you have plenty of options. Let’s dive in.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the wild adventures and glamorous fashion of your younger sims that you forget to take equal care of your older Sims’ wardrobes.
Cherry is a spring (or late summer, if you’re lucky) type of fruit.
And that’s exactly what makes this sweater so fun.
Instead of sticking to plain, abstract, or ‘wintery’ patterns, the Cherry Knit Sweater is proudly covered in little red cherries.
Interestingly, the cherries aren’t actually a pattern on the knit itself. They’re instead attached to the outside of the sweater, giving the sweater a very 3d look.
And even with those details there’s still no denying this is Maxis-match!
High necklines, even turtle-high, are just par for the course when it comes to sweaters.
Which makes sense considering sweaters are nothing if not cozy.
The low V-shaped neckline in this sweater CC is a rarity, and that’s what makes it such a great find.
Layering is the best winter aesthetic!
The 16 swatches that this CC has are mostly in autumn, winter, and spring colors. I’m sure us weirdos who wear thick sweaters in summer can bear wearing them in non-summer colors, anyway.
This fashionably French-styled sweater is perfect for your sim’s day out to a café with friends, or out on a zoo excursion, or even just a walk around town.
From fresh summer fun to the Christmas-est of the Christmas sweaters, the 25 swatches are equally as versatile as the design.
Plus the decals are just plain adorable.
My favorite part of this CC is that it’s ever so slightly cropped, giving the cutest peek of midriff without going overboard.
Don’t be fooled by the flamboyant poses in the thumbnail.
This sweater vest is for everyone, even if they’re no good at being excessively fabulous.
This CC is ideal for school situations, since it copies the look of school uniforms. That being said, a post-school aged sim could certainly wear it just as well.
One pattern dominates the swatches of this CC: a not-quite-but-almost argyle.
If the urge to bust out the ugly Christmas sweaters is calling, then this is the CC for you.
I can’t promise that your sims will appreciate their gift – but who cares what they think?
It’s possible that the 10 garishly gorgeous swatches in this CC will win them over. They’ve certainly won me over!
The only downside is that this sweater brings bucket loads of Christmas spirit no matter where it goes (or what season it is). And I mean, is that really a downside, though?
We all get a little bored with the same old styles & the same old way of wearing things sometimes.
This preppy-styled sweater may not be the newest concept, but it’s certainly a different way of “wearing” a sweater!
The 25 colors include changes to both shirt and sweater, resulting in some truly unique combinations.
Just like the sweater vest from earlier, this CC is attune to the fashionable murmurs of school children more than the cries of silly adults. Whether that’s a good thing or not is up to you.
As cool as ugly holiday sweaters are, or sweaters for gramps/grams or classy sweater vest, there’s something to be said for stylish modern sweater designs.
And this custom sweater is exactly that.
Modeled after a real-life sweater, this clean and practical CC will keep your sim looking their best in any type of weather; not that TS4 has many types of weather to begin with.
Between the sweater and the t-shirt peeking out from underneath it, there are 8 color combos to pick from.
This Erin “Dress” is less of a dress, and more just a combination of cute sweater on top of ruffled skirt.
Not that that’s a bad thing.
Unlike many of the other sweaters on this list that belong wholeheartedly in the realm of holidays (i.e., autumn and winter), this CC looks suited for spring.
But with an impressive 20 swatches, there’s a version of this dress for every occasion (or season).
Jumpers are the most straightforward form of sweater there is.
And this jumper CC set is no exception. The clean yet chic design makes it a perfect fit for the Maxis-match style.
There are 2 different cuts included in this CC set: a Basic Jumper, and a Short Jumper. They’re essentially the same, but one of them looks like it’s tucked.
The Short Jumper has 20 swatches, while the Basic Jumper has 25.
Your sim might not care about how they look, but you certainly do.
That’s why this “Don’t Care Sweater” is the perfect compromise. It’ll let your Sims look effortlessly cute.
This slightly oversized sweater works for teenagers, grown adults, and everyone in between.
Although it always looks sweater-y, there is a knit and a non-knit version depending on your personal preference. And with 18 solid color swatches, 12 print swatches, and 16 knit swatches, you’ll never run out of options.
With its bright colors and modern designs, it reminds me of a t-shirt turned sweater. And it has all of the cuteness and coziness of an oversized sweater, with the graphics of a casual tee.
This CC is Maxis-match to the extreme, down to the language used: Simlish instead of English.
There are 25 exciting swatches as well, ranging from basic patterns and colors (such as stripes) to flamingo prints.
