Women behind The Sims - International Women's Day Q&A
Sul sul, Simmers, and happy International Women’s Day!
We’re thrilled to be celebrating everyone who identifies as a woman today, especially our players! Thanks to you, this community is the greatest in gaming (we’re not biased at alllll). As such, we wanted to give you a chance to learn a little more about the women behind The Sims brand right from the source: our female SimGurus!
Over the next few days, this thread will be open for you to ask them questions. Get to know more about these SimGurus, ask about their experiences as women, and soak in their wisdom—they have a lot to contribute! Our SimGurus will answer as many questions as they can, and we’ll post their responses at the end of the month.
While you anxiously await their responses, we want to take a moment to recognize the awesome female Sims you’ve created! Use this space to share your favorites, explain why you love them, and maybe inspire other players to push the boundaries with their own Sims.
Then check back in late March to read the answers to your questions!
As I mentioned in the other thread, I was always a fan of female Comander Shepard from Mass Effect. I really miss her adventures and her crew (puppy eyes to bioware), especially Garrus (big puppy eyes). So I created her in Sims to play her before she was the famous commander who saved the galaxy. She has started her carreer in the military, and so she looks right now in my game. https://i.imgur.com/EILet8x.png?1
Here are some of my favorite female Sims. There are so many of them, I have a lot of Sims. :)
First is Kim Yorke. She's a Sim from my avatar. She's an alien who is a serial romantic. Sixam sent her to Sim world to study Sims' romantic behavior and woohoo. She's been very busy. :D
Here's my favorite vampire Evilia Doom. I started playing with her a long time ago when vampires didn't exist in Sims 4 yet. I always thought she'd make a perfect vampire. I was right. She's amazing.
Here's my criminal boss Olivia Moon. She does what she wants and she's outrageous. She doesn't get embarrassed of anything. She's been the most fun to play with, I love her. She has two sons, the first one she got with a random mailman, the second one with her current boyfriend. She's almost an elder now and her boyfriend is a young adult. :mrgreen:
Here's Paulette Grant. She's a singer and a musician. She plays piano, guitar and violin and she's married with an athlete with whom she has a daughter. She's almost mastered all the instruments and her singing.
This is Nelli Omenainen. She's a cute girl who's goal is to cook all the foods that are available. She's also on a social media career, taking care of two cats and she has a massive garden.
Here's Jessica Leary. She's married with Don Lothario. I didn't plan it. They were just friends with benefits, but Don got obsessed with her and she liked him a lot too, so I let it happen. They have a daughter, Sophia. I love Jessica, she's a very strong woman, she's very fit, she has that in common with Don. She's a gardener and an outdoor enthusiast.
Rayna Daniels is a writer. She's gloomy, loner and creative. She doesn't want to get married or have children, but she has a secret love affair with Bob Pancakes, it's been going on for a long time. She lives with her sister and her sister's family (a husband and 4 kids). Rayna lives in the basement. She's always been my favorite of the whole household. On the second picture here she's at her sister's wedding.
The blonde woman with the tattoos here is Susanna Rinehart. She's a bartender who has had bad luck in her love life. She fell in love with a detective woman and they lived together in Oasis Springs, but she cheated on Susanna. Susanna moved in San Myshuno and immediately started a new relationship and moved in together with her. Susanna wanted to have a family and proposed to her new girlfriend, but she rejected her proposal. Susanna moved in Willow Creek with a broken heart. She adopted a toddler alone. Her son is now a child and Susanna has found a new girlfriend (the dark haired woman in these screenshots). Hopefully she's the right one for her, finally.
One more. Here's also one of my new favorites. Her name is Veera Tähtinen. She's currently in University. She's going to be a painter when she graduates.

For certain fields like medicine, law, science, computer programming/development and accounting, a college degree with an internship in the field is a good place to start. (The internship is very important in gaining necessary job experience.) Most of these also have continuing education requirements once you are in the field, so you also want to do your research starting early. Besides, you want to be able to know more about whichever companies you hope to interview with. For computer programming related fields, a degree in computer science is often required.

Regarding your banner: "the sims 4 isn't getting new whims right now and I think they have dropped them all together if we want new whims in sims 4 we need to tweet the gurus and tell them we like whims"
Whims have been the heart of my gaming experience with Sims for most of the time. At some point they became like, not again, and I actualy got turned off for playing, cause of the crazy Whims. When it became possible to hide em, it was like throwing away the collar and let the fun begin. I still score points for completing Whims, but it happens while I just play the game as I feel like. Maybe I will never turn Whims on again. https://i.imgur.com/qsgJjwJ.png
My PC currently is having technical difficulties (replacing my power supply soon), so I cannot show images of the glorious Linda as of right now, so here is a gallery link. https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/17C8FEED841E11E58CD0D87A6987F423
I have more than four favorite female sims, but those are my top four. My current save is focused on finishing a ten-generation legacy.

This is Celeste, who is currently in the culinary career, but may inherit the bakery from her mother someday. She is a mother of six children, and her youngest is still in his late teens/about to become a young adult.
https://i.imgur.com/s3jEIxO.png
This is Stacy, and she is a mother of three children, a grandmother to eight grandchildren, and a great-grandmother to nineteen great-grandchildren. She owns a bakery, and she doesn't let her age stop her. Besides, age is just a number.
Edit: I counted again.

The woman with black hair, pale skin, and red lipstick is Sylvia, and the lady sitting next to her is Aria. Sylvia is a spellcaster and is a mother of two children. She is the current guardian of Glimmerbrook and the Magic Realm. Aria is a famous singer who currently lives in San Myshuno and is an adoptive mother of one child.

Are you serious? Is this true? I'm a woman and I think that's funny if that's true.
Like it was their intent to be begin with ?. People just love reaching for things.
