Hey simers!
I bought Roaring Heights the other day, and I find the possibilities for hair and clothes actually pretty small. I wanted to know if there's anything you found, to recreate the perfect retro game, from Lots to makeup to hair to clothes! Got most from Curbs Rockabilly already, so if you have anything else, I'd be forever thankful!

Don't know what you have in mind exactly, but searching for general Sims 3 Vintage or Sims 3 Retro stuff might get you some good things.
EA has some other retro sets at the Store. but after shelling out all that money for Roaring Heights you might not want to go back any time soon.

Hi, I play Roaring Heights as a vintage simulation for a while, but haven't found much CC (although I admit I don't like to pile up too many cc stuff in my game anyways).
One of the hair I use often is the "Joan Crawford hair" that you can find here among other vintage makeup and clothes stuff:

I only use the hair, and it works flawless in my game.

Another hair I use and works well, is this glamour-style one:

definitely not for the houseviwes, but for the wannabe starlet Veronica Lake-type sims.

For male hair, check this:

Although they look more like '50s than earlier, but I use them in my '40s town because I haven't found any better yet. Maybe they are okay as '20s?

Just a note, there is a female base game hair that qualifies as a '40s hair: the style that was used for the young Miss Crumplebottom in Sunset Valley, the wavy long one with the fringe covering the forehead - very Barbara Stanwyck! Doesn't look good on all sim women, but if you find the right one for that, oh my!

About clothes: I'm even more economic with clothes than with hair, because I discovered that many EA clothes (mainly the base game ones) can be successfully converted into vintage ones, if you match them well and recolor them with CASt. If you pair the buttoned base game suit jacket with the base game A-line knee-lenght skirt, and color them like a two-piece suit, they accurately look like war-time era women suits. Also the base game necktie-collared silk blouse can look very good with a pencil skirt or with the base game wide-legged trousers (palazzo pants) - very '40s! Painting the blouses in CASt with a small-scale flowery faded tone pattern can make wonders - if you don't find better CC that you can download.

Also I recommend these dresses:

I use the daydress in my game and it's very nice, absolutely fits as a '40s dress for a housevife or a working dame.

Thank you for your answers!
So yes, first of all, knowing how expensive the city and the FEW hairstyles and clothes were, I don't really want to buy anything from the Store anytime soon!
To explain myself : being a huge vintage fan, I wanted to gather all mid-century decades (20s to 50s) together in a town. I use already EVERYTHING I can possibly use from the base game, I found a few CC I am pretty satisfied with, but I always want and wish there were more so everybody doesn't always look alike. I know everything is findable on the internet for Sims 3, and wanted to know if there was maybe a few CC I hadn't found yet (exactly like this first hairstyle that is very Joan Crawford like!). Also, I keep looking if I can find mods to make it more realistic (I hate those phones ringing all the time, I just wish there wasn't phones!) like notebooks to improve the writing skills, and such. Or TVs that actually look more 50s than the "90s" ones findable in game.
I definitely will check those day dresses in game! and I use a lot of "modern" base game content that I transform into vintage clothes (those longs dresses/skirts with different patterns and all) but I am just eager to find more and give new colors to my game.

if you have anything, I would love it! and thank you again for the discoveries! (oh and I love that Bettie Page hairstyle too, from Miss Crumplebottom! I think it looks good on everyone, I'm obsessed with it!! )

Hmm, okay, I have two more tips for the vintage living, maybe you haven't found yet, maybe you have:
1. Instead of notebooks/ PC, I use the CC antique typewriter in each of my households from Aroundthesims3, you can find it as #11 in this advent calendar:
http://aroundthesims3.com/objects/r...asonal_12.shtml
It looks very noir in-game, and it offers every functions that a PC/notebook offers.

2. Actually I love to use this smoking mod - for me, it adds much to the atmosphere (considering that about half of the population was a smoker that time):
http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=480744
It's a very elaborated, amazing mod with custom moodlets, realistic effects, nice animations (in my game a sim can hold a cocktail drink made by the bartender in one hand, while smoking with the other); you can put the packs of cigarettes into bars, diners, any community lots if you want and sims can use them autonomously, or you can put the pack only into specific sims' inventory, and they will smoke from there. It works flawless in my 1.67 game version. Maybe you might be interested.

Wow this is totally awesome!! I had never seen any of it and I just fell in love with the smoking mod!!! If you have any other stuff like this! This is so perfect! Can the other sims of the city actually smoke too? Meaning, will they buy themselves? (I use Nraas mods)

I'm sure it's going to make my game so so so much more interesting! I can't wait to try them out! If you have anything else, really, I would be delighted to see! :lovestruc

No, I don't think that non-active sims can buy it, they only smoke autonomously if you deliberately place packs onto community lot tables or counters from the Buy catalogue.
There's one more link that I want to share with you that is worth to check, although it didn't really work for me:

The Cloudwalker Sims page offers many vintage objects, some hair and clothes too, but it's not very descriptive how to download them (it's a little more complicated than just a click), and what EPs are necessary for the downloads. Maybe that's why that those one or two objects that I downloaded didn't show up in my game (I don't have all EPs). But other objects did, so they all may work fine for others. No doubt worth to check it.
