28+ Cute Sims 4 Bun Hairstyles You’ll Love

Happy New Week, Curious Simmers!

Last week, we covered Sims 4 Space Buns CC, and some of you requested I cover single buns for the base game.

I’ve included different styles from various cc creators, including slicked back, messy, high buns, and low buns. Your Sim can rock these styles for everyday wear, parties, formal, or casual occasions. Please carefully read the installation instructions for each cc before adding it to your mods file. This will ensure it works properly.

Happy Simming!

On the plus side, it comes in an extensive color swatch palette with natural and fantasy shades to suit many aesthetics. Note that this hair is part of a collection, and you must download the entire zip folder to access it.
