The artist also disclosed details about the sketches for the Sims 4 characters that their team have created, saying, "Well, these are Sims were making, so they gotta look good. We've put a lot of thought into the color and design of the characters, a lot of lightning for the characters, and a little bit of storytelling as well. For instance, if you take a look at her [the girl depicted on the sketch above], she's probably a teen rockstar or a musician trying to get into a band or something."

Truong revealed that animated films and the works of American illustrators were the inspirations of the design team to achieve the "pseudo painterly effect" for the Sims 4 characters.
