Yes, there’s danger lurking in my game, and being in the public eye sometimes has tragic consequences. My beautiful supermodel Titania McTeague suffered a horrible fate when a crazed sexual predator stalked and killed her. If I have one who fits into the storyline with my model, I’ll make note of it and watch for any interactions between them. Here, I look over my townies - all those characters I have waiting in the wings ready to step into my stories. My model might have to deal with over-zealous fans or paparazzi. He or she’s in high-demand for photo shoots. My model is now becoming increasingly popular. Level 6 Professional Body Builder – Popular Cover Model It’s not “super” stardom yet, but it sure feels good. Now, people are seeing my model’s face on more and more magazine covers. Aspiring supermodels must be at their best at all times. At least they do get recognized a bit when they stroll down the street.Īt this point, as the Athlete career branches off, I choose the “Bodybuilder” track for my models. Superstardom is still far away and they haven’t yet become household names. They’re still doing television commercials, only now viewers can see a face and figure. Having paid their dues, my model career sims are now on the verge of success. Level 4 Dance Team Captain – High-Paying Assignments It’s not glamorous by any means, but it goes a long way toward paying the bills. At this stage of their careers, my supermodels have landed a job doing commercials - thus the awful costumes they must wear. The costumes are ridiculous, but that’s just my opinion. Level 3 Team Mascot – Commercial Assignmentsįrankly, I hate this level, both for my true athletes and for my supermodels. Either way, the money’s not great, but it’s a step toward better things to come. According to the game, of course, my sim is still in that stinky locker room, picking up wet towels, and sorting out “unmentionables”. When my sim “graduates” to Level 2, she - or he - has completed modeling school, and is now getting a few small assignments. Level 2 Locker Room Attendant – Freelance Assignments He’s actually a nature photographer, and he doesn’t have his own studio - yet - but he’s always willing to do photo shoots for my models. I usually send them off the visit my game’s professional photographer, William Sorensen. I’ll often take my sims to the mirror to “change appearance”, letting those glamour-queens-in-the-making try on different lipsticks and eyeshadows. While the game sees my sim as a lowly-paid waterboy/watergirl hanging out in a sweaty locker room, I imagine my sim learning essential skills for the modeling profession - how to walk, how to increase self-confidence, how to apply make-up properly. It’s good if your supermodel wannabe has the active trait, of course.Īs my sim progresses through each level of the career, I associate it with a level on a “modeling” ladder of success. Again, another quality a successful supermodel needs. This career focuses a lot on physical fitness, certainly a quality a supermodel will need. I begin my selecting the Athletic career for my model sim. Until then, I follow these career steps for my glamour sims. Maybe one day EA will get around to including it. The game doesn’t include one, but a little imagination is all it takes to create your own “Supermodel” career. Of course, you and your sims don’t have to enter competitions to enjoy a modeling career. Most of all, you’ll want to check out the tutorials available in the Forum, such as “ The Sims Modeling, Hosting, and Judging Guide“. You’ll also want to look at make-up and hairstyles. If you’re into sim-modeling, you’ll want to check out the game mods available, such as these “ Pose and Animation” mods from Mod The Sims. I created some very beautiful sims - if I do say so myself - and I took part in a number of competitions. I wasn’t able to play Sims 3 because of my playing style, so I did become involved with sim modeling. A quick check of Forum posts also shows the popularity of “modeling contests” for sims.Ĭreative Corner: The Sims 4 Sims and Modeling I’d venture to guess, in fact, that other than game mods, the most frequently-downloaded custom content is for makeup and hairstyles. Many simmers love to play with beautiful sims. Do your sims ever aspire to be supermodels? You know, those glamorous faces you see on all the television ads and magazine pages, the true superstars who go on to create their own fashion, lingerie, or cosmetics line and who host reality shows like Project Runway.
