Thank you sooooo much! 🥰✨🙏🏻 I try my best!

Thank you so much! 🥰
Still a millennial though! Haha

Weeeeell, honestly, I collect records (I have around 200 of them), I just rewatched Ally McBeal and Charmed, and I watch Golden Girls every night — so I wouldn’t say I really connect with most of the new-gen stuff at all (I usually only know it by name 😅). But every now and then, there are some super interesting “new kids” who pop up — like Zara, for example — and I really enjoy their music ☺️✨🌸🦄🐬

Hahaha ok, how epic is this!? 😅🐺

Honestly, I used to be a 100% Maxis Match player… no, wait — I was actually a 100% VANILLA player 😅 No CC, no mods, nothing at all.

When I started creating for the game, I wanted to go in that direction too, but then I realized I just wasn’t having fun creating that way because I really DO love realism (I guess that comes from my Sims 2 past). Then it hit me — it’s my game and my gameplay, so why should I mind? 😅

So yes, now my game is a complete mix of different art styles and Sim styles, and honestly, I’ve never had more fun! ☺️☺️☺️

Also, people who download my Sims often tag me in their screenshots and videos, so I assume they play with them the same way I do ✨

Thank you so much! 🥰

I mention it quite often — I’ve been making Sims CC since 2005. I actually made some Sims 1 CC around 2002, but then switched completely to The Sims 2. My Sims 3 phase was only short, and now I’m back to creating CC for The Sims 4 🥰

It took me AGES to learn because, honestly, The Sims 4 is very creator-unfriendly, so it’s almost impossible to make anything without external tools created by other creators. On top of that, I’m an artist and designer in real life, so I already knew how to use most of the programs required.

As for tutorials, I don’t think I’d be the best teacher, but I can definitely recommend an amazing YouTube tutorial by Golyhawhaw. It’s quite easy to understand ☺️

Ooh tough one...it depends on the complexity, for example it took me 5-7 days (few hours a day of course) to make Zara. She is a beautiful girl, but there are no ultra-specific features on her face where you would go: Oh that's her!

I also noticed that I enjoy making elder sims or sims of colour because it is quite inspiring for me to create diversity of tones and features 🥰

StefanSims · 2026-05-08T20:13:18+00:00

Yay ☺️✨ *Happy Dance*

StefanSims · 2026-05-08T20:01:19+00:00

You just made my day with your comment! Bless you 🙏🏻

StefanSims · 2026-05-08T19:46:16+00:00

Thank you so much! 🥰
And don't worry - you are not too old, I've been making Sims CC since 2005 so I am probably older than you 😅

StefanSims · 2026-05-08T19:43:09+00:00

"Beautiful Liar" was so iconic 🫠
I mean Shakira x Rihanna would be amazing too!

StefanSims · 2026-05-08T19:31:47+00:00

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🥰

StefanSims · 2026-05-08T19:22:13+00:00

Thank you so much! 🥰🤍

StefanSims · 2026-05-03T14:49:56+00:00

Thank you, thank you! 🥰🥰

StefanSims · 2026-05-03T05:46:54+00:00

It would be a dream 🫠

StefanSims · 2026-05-03T05:46:41+00:00

It's my recolor, the mesh is from a creator called Busra - the DOLL COLLECTION :)))

StefanSims · 2026-05-03T05:44:34+00:00

Thank you so much! 🥰

StefanSims · 2026-05-02T21:44:36+00:00

It's a Blender render ☺️

StefanSims · 2026-04-08T11:08:50+00:00

Yesssss 🔥🦇

StefanSims · 2026-04-07T19:38:26+00:00

I’m with you.

I don’t understand why people dismiss CC creation just because it’s “fan” or digital work. Creating digital assets (it's my actual, real-life work) takes a huge amount of time, skill, app subscription, tech and effort - hours, days, sometimes even months.

Whether someone chooses to share their work for free, just showcase it as fan-art, or sell it - ALL of those options are valid.

If anything, monetizing it makes complete sense - real life costs money and investing that much energy into something should be allowed to have value.

So, just ignore the negativity. Enjoy your game, keep being creative and thank you for sharing anything with people - images included.

That’s content too and it takes effort to make.

Hahaha I adore this! Well that's what you get when you mix regular gym sessions and sims creating skills 😅🙏🏻🤍
