For that, and that the hairs are so freaking cute, I believe the Simming Community will embrace them! I wanted to make sure that every feature was well thought out and implemented. So much time and research went into this project, and those little details matter. I believe they hold a great value! The hairs are detailed with features that Simmers take into account. What value do these two hairstyles add to The Sims 4 in your opinion? It feels good to contribute to a game that has had a huge impact on my life! I promise you, as a young kid, I never would have thought I would one day create something that would be added to the game. It's so surreal! I love The Sims and the franchise! I’ve been playing The Sims since I was very young. How does it feel to have collaborated on two hairstyle pieces being added to The Sims 4 ? But once plans were in motion, it was clear that the Bantu Knots and Two Strand twist hairstyles were perfect for my vision!

I had so much inspiration! It was truly hard to decide which path I wanted to take because there are so many amazing hairstyles that stem from the Black community. What made you decide on the Bantu knots and two strand twists hairstyles for your collaboration? Did you have specific inspiration? I wanted to embrace curly and textured hair patterns with day to day hairstyles and to create styles that are common in the Black community, so more and more Simmers could continue to see themselves in The Sims 4!

My goal was representation! I knew I wanted to create more textured hairstyles for the game. When we connected with you on this collaboration opportunity back in June and you started to research what hairstyle you wanted to see in game, did you have a specific goal in mind? We sat down and spoke with DeeSims about the importance of this addition to the game, her inspiration for the styles, and how they will enhance the Create-A-Sim (CAS) experience for Simmers.ĭeeSims pictured above with Sims showing off the Bantu Knots and Two Strand Twists Both are protective, staple styles originated and worn by the Black community.
