I know Jellypaws, casualsims, leosims and sonyasims use AI for their previews/cc or wtv but I know there’s more people I just don’t know who. Does anyone have a list?
okay so I gathered some who either use AI for their previews/meshes
Jellypaws - AI previews and meshes
Casualsims - AI previews. Meshes idk
Sonyasims - AI previews. Meshes idk
Pixelvibes - AI previews and meshes
ddarkstonee - AI previews and meshes
Dustyrat - They used to use it for their previews, but no longer do. Mesh no ai usage there ❌
pastelpaws/xxxtigger/pasteltigger - uses AI for previews last I checked
ironvolt545 - I am going to assume their meshes use AI or they use AI to “help” them “create”
sims3melancholic - has used AI for those “highly realistic” skins they have recently made
Cowbuild - AI previews and meshes
Leosims - AI previews. Mesh idk
Cluttercat - they use AI for their artwork/painting cc’s. Mesh idk, but I would assume they do since they use AI images for their cc paintings!
Rubyred/casa dutti (same person) - AI previews. Mesh idk
Sims4life - AI previews. Mesh idk. They could be using AI to generate pictures for their paintings/artwork cc or downloading AI images off Pinterest!!
Daonworks - AI previews unknown. Meshes are AI
Syboulette - They used to use AI textures in the past but they no longer use it !!
Swimwearsprada - AI previews idk. Meshes are AI
Scodee Yodee - AI previews idk. Meshes are AI (older stuff is fine, only their newer stuff uses it)
AFAIK dumbburgergirl - uses Al for that bubble font in their previews. Could also be using AI for some of the furniture they make
Jellycat - AI previews. Meshes idk
Roxxysim - AI previews. Meshes idk
creamlattedream - AI previews no usage there ❌ Uses AI generated textures for meshes
Skinfolk - Just look at their patreon. It’s quite obvious they use AI….LMAO I would also like to say that LifeLike-Simz and Skinfolk are most definitely the same person !!
Plumbelle - suspicious “new creator” using the words “NOT AI” they have since deleted the post and changed it to where it does not say the words “NOT AI”This person is suspected to be Pixelvibes
s-club - AI previews (on newer cc) Mesh idk.
robertaplobo - still unsure if they use AI for their previews, but just to be safe I’ll put them on here!
jomsims - has used AI photos as swatches. Mesh idk.
mychqqq - AI previews (on newer cc). Mesh idk
mhm if I have anything wrong or needs to be corrected please do let me know!!! I don’t want to be spreading misinformation 😭🙏
edit: I forgot to mention that if anyone has more names let me know so that I can put them here!! Edit: Can you let me know if it’s previews or meshes or both that use AI? Please and thank you !!
It was during another San Myshuno outing when Colette decided to bring up the subject to Amy except that Amy caught on first.
"Everything okay, Colette?"
"Y-yeah fine! Fine, fine!"
"...Are you worried that we're going too fast? Because I remember you talking about being scared of rushing into things."
Colette sighed.
"Can I tell you something super personal?"
"Go ahead, I won't tell a soul."
"So... my mom and dad. They started out with the kind of romance you'd get from a novel or something. She bumped into him at Geekcon and he was very sweet, he recognized her costume and played along with her. They were practically married almost immediately afterwards. But then after my brother was born... things kind of got a little..."
"Oh, I think I know where this story's going."
"...Yeah. Then I was born and around that same time, my mother lost her mom, her aunts, and her cat. I was like toddler age when she came home one day and found dad kissing another woman. According to mom, he said that: "she was miserable to be around and too busy with me and my brother.""
"Oh my watcher, that's awful."
"She told him to get out that same day. Like I said, I was a toddler at the time so I don't remember a lot but I do remember hearing lots of crying from mom's room and how my grandfather stepped in help us."
"He's not still in your life is he? Your dad, I mean."
"Tch, no way. He didn't even bother with custody arrangements. Considering how mom said he basically felt that my brother and I got in the way of his fun life, I'm not surprised."
"I'm so sorry that happened to your family. I can understand why getting into a relationship might sound scary."
"I like you Amy, I really do. But what if we end up in such a hurry to get together that we end up finding we're not actually compatible until its too late and everyone gets hurt."
Amy stayed silent for a few minutes and then spoke up: "Let me move in!"
"What!? Isn't that kind of...?"
"I'm not saying we gotta get married or have kids right away. I'm saying, let me move in and we see how things work with us under one roof. I've seen more than a few couples who were all over each other but then they moved in together and suddenly couldn't stand one another."
Colette supposed she had a point. Sure it would disappointing if it didn't work out but at least it they would just be girlfriends living together. There wouldn't be any wedding vows broken and wasted. No kids to put through the emotional ringer.
"...Sure let's give it a shot."
Amy smiled and pulled Colette into a kiss.
"I'll gladly take things slow if it means we'll be happier in the long run. No matter things turn out."
Despite the big dramatic reveal, both Colette and Amy did try to take things a little slow. Their outings stayed pretty simple just with more hand holding and flirty selfies.
But during a date at the museum, the two were harassed by a paparazzi and all of Colette's original concerns came flooding back. She knew that she needed to talk with Amy.
It all came to a head when Amy invited Colette to check out a cafe in San Myshuno.
It started out fairly normal-ish. Someone recognized Colette and asked for an autograph which she obliged.
"You know, I've noticed that I've been getting a lot more traffic on my videos and more people approaching me in public to talk about how much they love my music."
"Oh? I guess some simtuber must have recommended you to their audience somehow..."
Amy then leaned in and whispered: "You totally deserve the attention though, I regret nothing."
The two talked over coffee and tea, discussing ideas for a future collaboration, a clean-up effort that Amy was taking part in over the weekend, Colette's family (including the fact that her brother and his wife were expecting again.)
But then, after the sun set, Amy said: "Hey, could we step outside in the back? There's something I want to talk about without a crowd, ya know? It's nothing bad, I promise!"
Despite the assurance, Colette still felt a small spike of anxiety. But she still agreed, not knowing would have been way worse.
Colette and Amy made their way to the back of the cafe. As soon as they were sure they were alone, Colette asked Amy what was up.
"So... I've been really enjoying the time we've been spending together... and I mean... really enjoying it."
"Amy... are you saying...?"
"...Honestly I think I've been nursing a crush on you since I first saw one of your videos. Part of the reason why I've been so enthusiastic to drag you everywhere with me. You're just incredibly creative and so confident and good natured and-"
Before she could continue, Colette kissed her on the lips. After pulling away, she simply said: "I like you too."
She could feel the more cautious side of her screaming at her that she was rushing things but this just felt right.
Colette continued hanging out with Amy, getting advice from her on her video set up, watching movies, going out to eat.
...And as much as she tried to deny it, Colette definitely felt a spark between them.
Sure Amy was nice, smart, all that good stuff but Colette thinks of all the nasty divorces she'd seen in the gossip magazines and her own mother's experience and she can't help but hesitate.
"Hey everybody, it's Colette!"
"So... you probably have... heard some things... over the last week and a half..."
"And for those of you who haven't been following the gossip, no I'm not getting canceled or whatever."
"I just want to set the record straight."
"So first: Yes it's true, I was at the most recent Starlight Accolades Award Show"
"I wasn't up for any awards, not quite there yet. But I was a Plus One for my friend Amy..."
"Who you'd probably know better as: Amy At Home, the... super popular lifestyle simtuber and activist."
"I'm not gonna lie: I kind of feel dumb for not recognizing her right away. *Cough* Anyway!"
"I will say this: Amy is just as lovely and friendly as she comes off in her videos. Maybe a bit of a gossip, but hey who isn't in this town?"
"But we had a lot of fun. It was a little overwhelming to be inside the Golden Plumbbob Theater but Amy made me feel like I belonged."
"With all that said! You've likely seen the photos of us sitting together and dancing together. And I just want to clear the air. There is nothing but friendship between us. We've talked about doing collabs together but that's about it."
"So yeah. No magical Del Sol Valley whirlwind romance here. Celebrity relationships have kind of a... reputation. And not to get super personal but... I've seen first hand what it looks like when a relationship just... fizzles out. I just don't want to rush things. So for now, it's just me. I'll be sure to put out a less gossip-y video soon. Like and subscribe so you don't miss out on it! Bye~"
There. It's on video. No one could argue or try to accuse her of anything...
So why did it still feel like she wasn't entirely being honest?
Colette and Amy swapped numbers (though Amy still wanted to keep her online identity anonymous for now.)
A couple days after their meeting, Amy invited Colette to come with her to San Myshuno's Flea Market.
Colette took the opportunity to get some cheap stuff for the house but mostly she got to know Amy. Even getting some hints towards Amy's online presence.
"Okay, I'm kind of a lifestyle type of simtuber. I do gardening and yoga and self-care stuff."
"How big is your subscriber count?"
"...Kind of big. It's part of the reason why I'm wearing contacts today, you'd be surprised how often people don't recognize me without the glasses."
"Hm... I dunno that doesn't seem to narrow it down."
Amy just giggled.
At one point, the two watched a street busker perform on a guitar. As he finished his set, Amy glanced over at Colette.
"Why don't you play a little? I've seen your public performances online along with that violin case that you're carrying."
"Um... well... I admit, it's more out of habit than..."
"Please? For me?"
"...Okay!"
Once the guitar player had packed up, Colette immediately took the spot, opened up her case, and picked up her violin.
It didn't take long for her to attract a cheering crowd with Amy being her loudest biggest fan.
As the flea market started to wind down, the two women sat down and enjoyed a meal from the food stands.
When it was time to head out, Colette asked Amy if it was alright if she did a vlog about their outing, promising to keep her anonymous.
"Hey go ahead! And you know what? I'll go ahead and give you a follow so I can catch it as soon as it's uploaded."
"Thanks for inviting me, Amy. I swear the vlog is just gonna be nothing but gushing, I had a lot of fun today."
"Aw, you're gonna make me blush!"
Colette had turned off her social media for the rest of the day so it wasn't until the next morning when she got the notification...
AmyAtHome has followed you.
"...Oh my god..."
I'll probably give Paralives a try at some point but I kinda want to wait until some more things are added.
That said, I hope those of you who've already hopped on the train are having fun. :)
While Colette loved Del Sol Valley, it was nice to step out of town every so often. Especially when there was a bar out of town hosting an open mic night.
But little did she know just how much her life was going to change that night.
"Hey there!"
Colette turned to the voice to see a woman with brown hair and glasses. She looked familiar but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Would you like to sit with me? I know those bar stools can be kinda uncomfortable after a while."
She wasn't wrong and even if Colette wouldn't call herself outgoing, she enjoyed potentially making new friends.
"...Sure why not?"
Colette joined the woman at the table and seeing her close up just further increased that feeling of deja vu.
"So you're Colette Starr, right?"
"Y-you know who I am?"
"Yeah, I've seen some of your videos. You're like super talented and you've got such a bright personality! I'm surprised that you're not more popular."
"Oh! Thank you... Missssss..."
"Ah, yeah probably should have introduced myself first. I'm Amy, I also post videos."
"That's cool, we should swap account names, maybe follow each other?"
Amy blushed, "How about we get to know each other a little better first?"
"...Okay."
I know it's a weird thing to be hung up on but I just don't like the infant CC hairs that give what are less-than-one-year-olds long luscious locks.
Like I dunno why that's the point where I'm like: Nope too unrealistic!

Overall, Harvestfest was a success. The dinner was delicious and most importantly, the company was good.
Both Phoenix and mom took a moment to say how proud they were of Colette's rising star. (Even if mom didn't entirely understand the whole streaming thing. But it was the thought that counts.)
The holidays were a good enough excuse for Colette to take a break and avoid burnout.
But even if she didn't need the break, she still would have happily accepted the invitation to come visit for Harvestfest.
It was nice to catch up with mom and Brenna along with Everly and Anya, the latter of whom was going to graduate high school next year.
The only one missing was...
"So is Phoenix stuck doing rocket maintenance tonight?"
"Nope! He's just upstairs, probably trying to clean up Bailee so she looks nice."
Almost as if summoned, Phoenix arrived with his daughter in his arms.
"Hey Colette."
"Phoenix hey!"
Dinner was delayed for just a little longer for the sake of Colette getting to get to know her niece.
Bailee was surprisingly taken with Colette; smiling, laughing and even trying to babble or reach towards her during dinner.
Colette couldn't lie, her brother had a cute kid and it made her think of family plans of her own... not immediately though.
Slowly but surely, Colette was starting to gather more attention and fans online. Making enough money to buy some upgrades for her recording station.
She had also started to take up pottery as a hobby. It was something unrelated to her online persona that she could get creative with and the extra money from selling her creations didn't hurt.
Colette and Nanami did indeed start running in each other more often and eventually they went from fan and celeb to just friends.
That wasn't to say that her brush with celebrity made Colette forget about the other people in her life. For Spooky Day, she invited a bunch of friends to get together for a costume party.
And she was quite excited to hear that Phoenix and his wife, Everly were expecting.
