The Sims 4: New Sims Sessions Campaign

SPARK SOMETHING
A Love Note To Creative Potential and Our Ongoing Commitment to Creators

At The Sims™, we believe in the power of creativity. To celebrate the role our games and brand have played in sparking the creative journey of rule breakers everywhere for over 22 years, we are kicking off Spark Something. It is our commitment to ignite imaginations and creativity both within our community and beyond.

We’ll be identifying creator stories that showcase the contagious power of inspiration through change-makers who spark something in each other, and seek out that creative spark everywhere they go.

Spark Something will come to life with Pass the Spark that features an incredible cast of creators who use The Sims to ignite their creativity, including

Anitta, global pop star and the first Brazilian artist to win an MTV Video Music Award.

Alok, writer and performer who challenges the gender binary.

Magnet, queer creative who makes vibrant cakes with playful floral elements.

Bob’s Dance Shop, an entertainment group combining dance, music and fashion to spread joy and encourage self-expression.

We know inspiration is a domino effect and we believe that discovery and creativity can build a better world. In the short film, you can follow The Sims’s iconic green Plumbob as it gets re-imagined and travels from creator to creator, igniting a spark of inspiration that transforms and inspires art, authentic personal expression and the world around us. The Pass the Spark film is a love note to every Simmer’s potential to inspire change in each other, and those who dare to make an impact.

“We recognize that the creativity of The Sims community is so much bigger than what they make in The Sims—it's who they become and who they are inspired by outside of our game as well,” said Julia Victor, Head of Brand for The Sims. “Spark Something is our commitment to unlocking the creative potential we all have, and this film is our first love letter to the community we strive to serve. It is the first time we are introducing our plumbob as the new lightbulb - a symbol for the moment a new idea sparks.”

The Sims’s iconic green Plumbob began as a simple UI tool 22 years ago, but now, through the power of Simmers sharing their creations with one another, the Plumbob has transformed into a symbol of creative inspiration that can expand the horizons and open new possibilities in anyone.

On November 15, show us who inspires you by checking out The Sims Instagram Story, where we’ll be using the “Add Yours” feature for creatives to continue passing the spark.

The Sims wants to spark a whole new generation of artists to create, express and inspire. We will be kicking off Sims Sessions, a new series that gives music fans a backstage pass to watch the process of musical artists who challenge the status quo, as they record their songs in the Sims’ signature language, Simlish.

We can’t wait to share more stories and the new ways we are working with creators to ignite that creative spark in the near future, sign up on TheSims.com and follow us on social media for more updates!

    Finally! They should bring back R&B station to The Sims 4, so they can find any real life R&B singers

    Every site has character limits so it’s impossible to list all the artists and genres I want to see. The Sims 3 did not have brass or wind instruments. To this point neither has TS4. I don’t know about 1 or 2, but I would love to see instruments expanded beyond just guitar, violin, and piano. I want the Sims to embrace the rainbow of musical expression.

    Well, I do want to hope that this time attending the event in-game won't replace other sims' everyday clothing. As last time I did attend, I had to remember what my other household used to wear before they were also there in Sims Sessions, now wearing the new special outfit...

    I don't believe this is the same as the previous Sims Sessions in game concerts.

    This is a red lights flashing, shout it from the rooftops, not so subtle hint that we are getting a full on music pack in 2023!

    You're right, it's been too long a wait for things that should have been in the game from Day One. Hip Hop and R&B are mainstream music and should have been in the game long ago. I hope if we are getting a music pack we can create bands that play every genre of music that exists on the radio in game.

    PLEASE FIX TEENS IN TS4! I NEED YOUNGER TEENS NOT YA TEENS! (^_^)Please add Music Bands with lead singers! Please add vehicles and garages! Vehicles have always been part of The Sims.

    @12JEREMIA I mean I hope for some RL Black hip-hop and R&B musicians to appear in Sims Sessions.
    I was delighted to discover Joy Olakodun at the last one, but she is a singer-songwriter, not R&B or hip hop.

    I'd like to see Tracy Chapman do "Fast Car" in Simlish. That would be my dream come true.

    tbh I don't see any artist I like really working with this sessions thing like either its old music or not "trendy" enough for the kids

    I know who Joy Olakodun is, but... as a musician, I'm not in the mood for singer-songwriter/folk, pop, dance, and rock music to focus on, OK? I got hip hop/R&B/urban music to focus first (I grew up listening to some hip hop and R&B music during the decades between the late 90s and early 2000s). *sniff* Uhh... *sniff* I-I-I nee-heed! *sniff* Oh ho ho I need my music back!! *cries quietly* 😭
