Get Ready for The Sims Spark’d Show!
Spark your imagination—episode one premieres tonight!
The Sims™ was created to empower people to play with life. It has become a place where people from all walks of life come to express themselves and experiment with new ideas. Today, it’s time to give players the chance to share their stories and creativity with the world in a reality competition where the only limit to what they can become... is their own imagination.
This is The Sims Spark’d.
What Is The Sims Spark’d?
For years, storytellers from around the globe have been telling millions of stories in The Sims, inspired by their own lives and limitless creativity. Now, we’ve called together some of the most creative players to compete in a first-of-its-kind reality competition series: The Sims Spark’d.
Over the course of four weeks, twelve contestants will vie for the $100,000 prize. To impress the judges, they’ll take on timed challenges to build characters, worlds, and stories. These Simmers need to survive both the Skills Challenge and the Elimination Challenge each week to move further into the competition and closer to the prize. With themes ranging from “supernatural” to “unconventional build,” they’ll be judged on skill and creativity.
You’ll probably recognize some of the participants! Each of the twelve Simmers is well-known in the Sims community for specializing in different elements of Sims gameplay, whether they’re an expert Stylist, Builder, or Storyteller. And you likely know our judges as well—keep an eye out for SimGuruNinja!
The Sims Spark’d episode 1 premieres on July 17 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT on TBS, but you can also watch the full first episode on BuzzFeed Multiplayer on July 20 at 8:00 a.m.! Catch new episodes every Friday night on TBS until the finale on August 7, or wait to watch on BuzzFeed Multiplayer on Monday mornings!
What Are Spark’d Challenges?
