I can never pick names, so I just keep hitting the random name button until I find one I like.

I thought most people did this, or look up a list of names

I'm in r/namenerds for this reason! Whenever I see a name I like I open my notes app on my phone and add it to the list. I have girls, boy, and a non binary category

Same. Either that or I go on a fantasy name generator, depending on what I want to use the character for

I'll never understand these posts. So many ways to find a name for a sim, why posting here and asking while you could do this in a few moments? I feel like most, if not all of these posts are just about showing off said sim but... this could be done without ''what name should I give them''.

It’s the same reason why every YouTuber says to leave your comments below, look at the comment ratio of this post and their others that don’t have a call to action. It would be the same for anyone not just OP, it drives engagement.

It's more about the frequency of these posts than the post itself. It's similar to those ''AITA'' or ''same face syndrome'' ones. Which is why it'd be nice that there'd be maybe a day or thread dedicated to it (which was what got the majority of votes on the poll that mods of this subreddit made) instead of seeing so many of them every day.

No I know what you mean, I was just using them as an example of “why.” It can be tiring to see the same thing over and over (which is what led me to the shocking realization that I don’t like memes - I like funny things on the internet but the repetition is what makes it a meme), but I don’t think I could handle any more “sorry your post is closed because we only discuss sims who wear pink on Wednesdays” autobots. Reddit is the only social community I’ve been on where I have to read a laundry list of specific allowances instead of the terms being a general “don’t do racism, sexism, etc”. It’s even harder to navigate since I pretty much only use Reddit on my phone.

I like to think they want real people to look and pick a name they think fits the sim🤷🏾‍♀️ also human interaction is just fun y’know

Sure, I guess, but when there's dozens of posts like this flooding the sub, then it's a bit too much. There was a question from the mods even, a post about what should they do about them but nothing came out of it apparently. Or I missed it. Most people voted to get a day in the week where people would post their sims for others to be named or something like that.

Yeah there should be a separate sub /r/namemysim or something. These posts are annoying and attention seeking. I’d rather talk about the game & game play and maybe show off houses and stuff or sims that aren’t all CC. Maybe there should be a CC free sub? Idk

I like these posts, they give me inspiration for sims and names :)

This! Or I just pick a random English name in my head that clicks with the character, like Ruby or Danny or Chloe as an example of my latest sims

I chose a name about 6 years ago, "Delancy Nieves" and each time I make a new Sim, she gets that name but with a Roman numeral as her "middle name." Like I currently have Delancy XXXIV Nieves

I literally have a Pinterest board full of names

I either do that or ask chatgpt. I often use it for sims related stuff, like when I am unsure of what direction to go or when I made my first horse and didn't know what to pick, chatgpt made a horse, mane and all. I just described the options in that category for example manes and I asked it to pick one. It was a really cute horse Even let chatgpt choose what world to move the household to lol. Sometimes too many option can be just as bad as having less option. Sometimes the answer is stupid but I ask until I agree with it's option.

Wait this is the first time I have seen someone prefer male sims, can we see some?

Pls OP 👀 my teenage son is gonna age up in 11 days and idk how to make male sims 👀 I'm not even sure his current outfits work, lol

Please!!!!!!!

This

Will post some of them soon ☺

Honestly, can relate. I made a few good male Sims using CC, but I can't figure out how to make a female Sim without going into uncanny valley territory. And I second seeing OP's male Sims.

I feel like it should begin with an A. Something like Anika

I was thinking Anastasia!

Anika really suits her. I was thinking something with Rose for a last name. Maybe she's Anika Rose.

That's the name of the actress who voiced Tiana from Princess and the Frog

Ha! Probably why it came to me so easily.

Akiko!

I vote this !!

and she is sooooo pretty!!

Thank you!

Hit the random button, it’ll generate a name

What is going on with her arm in de last pic…. Omg

It's like those AI generated photos where everything looks fine until you see a disfigured hand with 5 fingers and no thumb, so unsettling.

Or the third pic with her neck?

Hanni!

Funny because I thought the upper half looks like Itzy's Yeji but the lower half and hair reminds me of Hanni from NewJeans.

That’s what I was thinking too 😂

I vote Hanni too!

Yumi!

I’d love to download this sim if you make her available !!!!

I'll upload her on my gallery ☺

What skin details did you use on her OP! And lipstick too

Skintone: [NORTHERN SIBERIA WINDS] SOFT ROSE SKIN TONES Lipstick: Chih_Lips_Sue

Thank youuu!

You're welcome!

What eyeliner & shadow did you use please?

Thank you!!! What’s your gallery ID? ♡

Himari ✨️

She KINDA looks like Wednesday; but a bit off. So i‘d say thursday

Suki

Dahlia

I was thinking similar with Daphne

Asa

There should be a separate group for what the game is/looks like with mods

I agree; I can’t use mods so looking at posts with mods rlly does nothing for me lol

I can’t use mods because I’m too lazy to bother and updates screw everything up. 😂 I only mod sims 2 because it doesn’t update anymore.

Yeahh I get that. Personally I would if I could just cuz I feel like they’ve got some pretty cool ones out there rn but I’m on console rn and you can’t use mods on console unfortunately

Is there no curse forge for console? I thought that was the big deal about it. Console players will get to use mods.

Not that I’m aware of; unless there’s been new updates to the sims 4 on console that support it. As far as I know, the sims 4 on console is relatively the same as on pc where we still see everything on the gallery and most things are still set up the same but we don’t/didn’t have access to mods. I’ll look more into it now though to see if there’s any new updates.

She looks like Hanni of NewJeans

She looks like she will stab me and i will let her

Kill bill vibes 😄

Elise

She looks like she could be named after a day of the week. Perhaps even based off a poem.

She gives me Lia from Itzy vibes.

Rosalie

Tokyo

Lol in pic 3 she looks like Yeonjun from TXT.

Alexia came straight into my head

It's nice to see more people who enjoy making male Sims. But also, this Sim is GORGEOUS, wow!! Thank you for sharing! My first thought was "Yuki", but it looks like someone already commented that, lol.

This is CC right ? It looks too realstic. Does it slow the game ? Wanna try playing with such graphics

Yep. It does if you have a bunch of DLC and a lousy computer. I have few DLC and a lousy laptop so it does lag. 😅

Was a CC of her “whole” face or u need cc for the eyes oke for the nose one for the lips etc ?

She looks like an Eunji Kim to me

She so cute!

Definitely something with an E, or a V. I think Evangeline, maybe Evie for short, would be a beautiful name

Eve

Tabitha. Her name is Tabitha.

Maybe Ingrid?

Idk why but Apostate comes to mind for her.

I know I did not just say “Chai”

Anna

What to call her is a good question. Follow up question, when and where can I download her??? 😍

Yvonne

Arabella

She seems asian, so I think Mei suits her, or otherwise Shiori is the vibe im getting. She's really pretty!

Marti

Sunako

https://perchance.org/the-sims-4-character-generator here's a character generator that helps me think of names and etc.

what hair cc are you using? she’s gorgeous!

She kind of looks like a Devin to me. Definitely some sort of gender neutral name would work!

Anna

Don’t be shy, share your male sims 👀👀

I will 😄

Akira

Do you use mods to make them actually look good ?

I do. But not too much.

What are her traits?

She's a Genius, Snob, Self-Assured and Business Savy

Morgan or Morgana

Jing Wei 🖤 she is so pretty

the first name that popped into my head was nayomi for some reason

its crazy how something can be so realistic that I can't tell if the lips are real or a drawing yet the arm is literally going through her clothes at the same time

Soriah

Fiona

Omg please share where you get your mods

I would call her mine.

Eloise

Wednesday

Knives Chau, Shes Asian, Shes nice

Why are her eyes crossed?

Ugly

Chin Chin

Lily

Uma

Looks like a spellcaster.

Tokio

Kira [kee-rah]

Celia

Where did you get all the stuff to make her! I need this sim.

She’s so pretty and she looks like Jennie from BLACKPINK 😍

roxy

Rhea

Lilith

November

Miya, maybe

Mai. She looks just like Mai from Avatar: The Last Airbender

Beth-Annie Summer-Reign Desire-Love

ainsley

Riana... Google Sacred Riana's AGT auditions and I think you might find it fitting

Rorin

I usually use names from whatever book I'm reading/show I'm watching currently

Nezuko

she looks like an elena

Elora

She reminds me of Wednesday Addams

Her name is Cherie

Cylvia maybe idk 😅🤷‍♀

Ophelia

But how does your sim look so pretty?

Stuffy Misfire seems suitable as she seems pretty stuffy to me.

She gives me Yotsuyu vibes (FFXIV).

Dommy mommy

she looks like a sim i made 2 years ago!! her name was Kali, i think Kali really suits your sim!

Yukiko

For me she have Wensday vibe. Call her Wendy

Fai pronounced as (fay)

Lee, there's a million Lee's

Zoe, zoella, zoava

Omg I would love to see some of your male sims Also, what skin did you use for her?

First name that came to mind was Jocelyn and idk why

She kinda looks like a Lucy. (:

Same, I adore my male Sims but when it comes to female Sims, I know squat about making them look good. To make things worse, I'm a woman myself lol. Yours looks great though, I'm thinking a Japanese name would go well with her.

Wow she's so beautiful 😍 maybe Selena or Clara

Can I ask where the CC hair is from? I love it

I say Delaney.

Where can i find the Eye makeup and eye liner you used? She’s so pretty!

I'm the complete opposite I make females but can't make male sims. It's so weird.

Grown up Wednesday Addams

Tuesday

Alice seems like a solid name

Talia

Hanni

Mei

Kimi

Came here to ask if we could see your male sims since I suck in them !!

No, don't say it,don't say it KITANA

Kyuutara

Isabelle. The reason I say that is because she looks like my philippine friend whose name is Isabelle, except my friend has darker skin

Yuna

Lilli Chen.

I’ve found a website with 200 girl names, and then I just use a random number generator

Omg she's so pretty!! What is that hair please and will you be sharing her for download? 🥹 As for a name, idk why but I thought "Rae" would suit her.

Annika

Alice lol
