A house without doors
A pool without ladders, too
You’re sure inventiveHaikus are one of the shortest types of poetry: just three lines of following a 5/7/5 syllable rule. While that doesn’t seem like a ton of space to tell a story, the joy of poetry is finding creative ways to express an enormous amount of thought in a condensed space. And when it comes to creativity, there are few gamers out there as imaginative as The Sims fans.
It’s no wonder that when we asked our community to come up with Haikus about The Sims, the results were nothing short of magical. Magical, and a little weird. We’ve gathered some of the ones we like the best and brought them all into one place. And since they didn’t have names, we went ahead and named them for you!

This mod adds a new Class Clown aspiration with goals and appropriate satisfaction point rewards. Children who complete the aspiration will receive the Class Clown reward trait to help them learn comedy and mischief more quickly, although their need to be the center of attention will cause their social desire to decay more rapidly. This is a reward trait, so it cannot be purchased and is only available by completing the aspiration. Children pursuing the aspiration or who receive the reward trait will have appropriate whims.

I was the first artist on The Sims 4, early on in pre-production you are mostly concerned with style exploration and solving broad technical questions. One of the first questions was “What does a couch look like?” So here is a French Provincial couch.
Over the years I’ve made many a tree, most of them were too small but here is an example of a style exploration and the first tree in The Sims 4.
Here is a first stab at a performance target for a New Orleans mansion, without textures.

UPDATE 3/2: Over the next few weeks, a number of changes are being rolled out to the way Followers are displayed within The Gallery. With the release of The Sims 4 Get to Work Expansion Pack, you will be able to see the names of players who are following you as long as their Origin Privacy Settings allow their username to be shown to you.
The way your Origin Privacy Settings are set up effect what people are allowed to see in your profile. For example, let’s take two The Sims 4 players: Debi and Matt. Matt wants to follow Debi because Debi builds some of the coolest houses around, but Debi’s Origin Profile is set to only be viewable by friends. With that setting, Matt is able to see the awesome houses Debi posts, but he isn’t able to view her bio or post on her wall. Also, if Debi decided to follow Matt, he wouldn’t see her name in his list of followers – instead, it would be listed as anonymous. Of course, if Debi wants to block Matt outright, she’s still able to do that.
To change your profile settings from the web:
- Log into origin.com.
- From “My Account” in the top navigation bar, select “Privacy Settings”.
- “Who can see my profile” is the first option in the Privacy Settings section. Note that even if you set your profile visibility to “Everyone”, you can still opt out of showing your real name and limit how people can search for you (such as by e-mail address or console ID). Also, we do honor the Block List.
- Select “Update” at the bottom of the page.
To change your profile settings from the Origin client:
Open Origin on your computer.
From “Origin” in the top navigation bar, select “Account and Privacy”.
Select “Privacy Settings” in the left navigation.
“Who can see my profile” is the first option in the Privacy Settings section.
Select “Update” at the bottom of the page.
1) Pick a Theme
Each room or home needs to have a theme to give your decorating a direction. It can be as simple as a colour or colour scheme, to a specific time period or style. Your room could be a blue study room, or a Classic styled distressed living room, or a dark Modern bedroom.
I wanted the study to be blue to make it more inspiring for my Sims.
2) Space
Keep in mind space, and less CAN be more: do not stress over the clutter items. A room can be beautiful with just a painting and a plant.
This tiny kitchen still looks comfy and full because of a few decorative items. Consider using different styled chairs to give your room charm.
3) Wallpaper and Flooring
Neutral coloured walls allow for more flexibility in your decorating options. Think of it as your canvas.
Yellow
Red
Blue
4) Utility of The Room
Keep in mind what the room is going to be used for. Although the Sims do not directly use most of the decorative objects, we would probably use them in real life. A kitchen should have objects on the counter; such as a knife block, a bowl of fruit, dishes, a coffee maker, a microwave, etc. A bedroom definitely has a closet and sometimes shoes.
5) Curtains are your Friend
Curtains can make or break a room. A room without curtains on its windows feels empty and incomplete.

With Curtains:
6) MoveObjects Cheat
Do not be afraid to use the moveobjects on cheat! It increases the possibilities of your decorating abilities tenfold! Put the cheat on and use 9 to raise an object up, or 0 to drop an object down to put decorative objects anywhere! Holding down left Alt key allows you to place items off the grid. You can also resize objects by pressing left Alt + ] to increase size, or left Alt + [ to decrease the size to normal.
Here I resized the painting on the wall, and used the 9 key to stack items on top of the fireplace. I used left Alt throughout the room to get the exact positioning for the furniture and objects I wanted.
7) Colors
Be careful using too much colour in a room. Understanding how colours work together will definitely improve your room/house decorating. Think about contrasting and complementary colours, monochromatic colours and triadic colours. Also, shades and tones of one colour can be just as beautiful as using contrasting colours.
8) Test your Limits
I like to sometimes use the Room Catalogue to remind myself what objects usually go into a room, but I also recommend pushing yourself and going through the objects catalogue and putting anything into any room. Counters and cupboards can be used in living rooms, bathrooms, even foyers. Couches can be used in studies and bedrooms. Mirrors can go anywhere you want! And decorative items are universal.
Objects by Room
Objects by Function
9) Look Online and in your Own Home
Gather inspiration from pictures online of homes and rooms. Watch YouTubers and see what they are doing. Also, look at your own home and try recreating rooms to get an idea of what a room should look like.
I saw this kitchen in an Interior Design competition and recreated it. It gave me ideas of how to really take my kitchens to the next level.
10) Have Fun!
Some people find decorating a chore. Look at it as a place you can be proud of. I am always way more happy to play a room I decorated and built myself than playing one someone else decorated. And I keep in mind that feeling when I am decorating and building because I know I will be rewarded.

UPDATE: Polygon got an official response from EA regarding the closure of Maxis Studio in Emeryville:
Today we are consolidating Maxis IP development to our studios in Redwood Shores, Salt Lake City, Helsinki and Melbourne locations as we close our Emeryville location. Maxis continues to support and develop new experiences for current Sims and SimCity players, while expanding our franchises to new platforms and developing new cross-platform IP.
These changes do not impact our plans for The Sims. Players will continue to see rich new experiences in The Sims 4, with our first expansion pack coming soon along with a full slate of additional updates and content in the pipeline.
All employees impacted by the changes today will be given opportunities to explore other positions within the Maxis studios and throughout EA. For those that are leaving the company, we are working to ensure the best possible transition with separation packages and career assistance.
Guillaume Pierre, one of the producers of SimCity has announced that Maxis Studio in Emeryville is shutting its doors.
Don’t worry, the Maxis Studio (one of EA’s divisions) still exists in San Francisco and their primary focus is The Sims 4.
If you’re not familiar with the games that were created in Maxis Emeryville, here’s a list down below created by Sims Wikia!

Last week we stepped into a crime scene and joined detective Tate Rackett as he cracked another tough case. This week we’re looking into the lives of two scientists in The Sims 4 Get to Work.
Each day, Darla Nadine Applesworth arrives at the science lab at 7:00 a.m. She loves her job, but she loves something else even more: her co-worker and fellow scientist, Herbert Leipstein. Herbert likes Darla, but truly only thinks of her as a friend and colleague. She wishes it was different. Maybe one day, it will be.
Darla likes to get a jump start on the day, working on new inventions by herself before anyone else gets in. Her hard work has paid off – she invented the Momentum Conserver and a Hover Lamp, both of which she took home to display as decorations.
One morning, Darla was experimenting and using the Chemical Analyzer when she had a breakthrough. She ran over to the Invention Constructor and began tinkering. Tah-dah! The Cloning Machine was created!
Herbert arrived a few minutes later, looking as handsome as ever in his lab coat. Darla was thrilled to show Herbert her latest invention.
He steps into the machine with a huge grin on his face. Darla begins scanning and BOOM! A clone of Herbert steps out. The new Herbert looks exactly the same as Herbert. It was Darla’s lucky day – two Herberts! They named the clone Number One.
Number One was almost exactly the same as the original Herbert except for one key difference: he didn’t have any relationships or knowledge of this world. He was a clean slate. Darla and Herbert introduced themselves to Number One and had him wait in the lab next door, giving him some activities to do to keep him busy.
Darla and Herbert wasted no time. They made another clone. And another. The final clone, Number Five, was a little different. He had red eyes and a goatee. Something was… off.
Oh well. Time to leave work!
Darla walked into the lab next door and told the clones they were coming home with her. She couldn’t leave them at the lab overnight, they could get into real trouble. Plus, Darla liked the idea of having five replicas of Herbert hanging out at her house all night.
Back at her home, they decided to have a party. It was everything Darla had hoped for… until Number Five started yelling and making a mess all over Darla’s house. This wasn’t right! This wasn’t what she expected at all.
The next morning, Darla found a new home for her failed experiments. She was done with cloning (and with love) for a while. She decided to focus on her career and discover the next big scientific breakthrough. Who knows where that might take her…
We hope you have enjoyed this peek at the Scientist career and a bit of a love story. In our next adventure, we’ll follow the path of a Retail Business Owner and see the ups and downs along the way to the top.
This April, your Sims will rule the workplace in The Sims 4 Get to Work Expansion Pack. You will control your Sims’ every action as they tackle three active careers, whether it’s saving lives as a daring doctor, solving crimes as a fearless detective, or creating inventions as a mad scientist. You will also be able to put your Sims’ entrepreneurial ambitions to the test as you create and customize unique retail businesses. Plus, there are new venues, more skills to learn, and the chance to befriend some aliens!

This mod includes overrides of a number of MODL resources of buyable trees, as well as the landscaping and streetlamps in non-editable public spaces, in order to stop them fading in Live Mode.
In addition to the trees, I’ve also included no-fade edits for a number of large shrubs that I felt faded at too far a distance. There are other shrubs, however—either buyable in the catalog or the ones in public spaces—that still fade, but at a distance I thought was reasonably close and not worth editing.
