Hi friends! I want to take a moment to be transparent and provide an important update about my content for this year.

For 2026 I have committed to donating 10% of all profits from my YouTube channel and Patreon to organizations that support undocumented immigrants, including groups that provide legal aid and community resources.

I want to be upfront: I’m a small creator, so the amount I’m able to donate may not be large, but as a first-generation Mexican American, this issue is deeply personal to me and doing nothing doesn’t feel right. Especially during a time when immigrant communities are facing increased discrimination and fear. 

Many of my main characters in my content are Mexican/Latina because that’s who I am and what I’m proud of. Most importantly, I am deeply proud of my parents and everything they have had to overcome so that I could be where I am. I believe that if creators are going to speak on issues that matter to them, it’s more important to follow that up with action. Even if it’s on a small scale.

This commitment is specifically for 2026, and I’ll reassess what’s sustainable for me moving forward after that. Thank you for supporting my content and I’m excited to see what this year brings! 🤍

Van Life - Rags to Riches Challenge 🚐 By Elle Plays

I created this challenge after being inspired by @simsvie's van living series on youtube! I have so many of the sims packs, but do not play much with them. This challenge is for people who want to try a rags to riches challenge, with a special twist to change up your gameplay from maybe what you're used to.

Your sim will start with nothing, save for their van and equipment, and then travel the world while creating van life content to sustain their travels. If you have a lot of packs and use mods, this is the challenge for you! 🌎

Follow the journey of me creating this challenge over on my YouTube Channel: Elle Plays

Now available on the Challenge Tracker Gallery by SimMattically (currently in early access)

Also available on Google Docs (Do NOT request access to edit. Save your own copy by selecting File > Make a copy)

DISCLAIMER: Please note this challenge is a WIP and destination 2 & 3 have not been playtested. The goals are subject to change and more content/van goals will be added once I complete the playthrough.

TOU: Do not alter the challenge and post it as your own. Please give credit if you play 😊

MY INSPO

Hi friends! I made this build for my upcoming let's play series on Youtube: The Idol. My girl group is about to debut and they will be traveling constantly to other cities and countries so I knew I needed a Del Sol Valley luxury airport! I also recently went to a concert at Climate Pledge Arena (any other MONSTIEZ out there?? 🤭) and the arena's whole eco concept really inspired me! I intentionally did not add a lot of clutter so you can add your own style to it!

The Idol, Part 1: Into the Spotlight A Let's Play Series by Elle Plays - Premiering in October on Youtube

Valentina (19, Mexican-American) has finally achieved her lifelong dream - becoming an idol. After years of an intensive trainee program in Seoul, she is set to debut in Maxis Music Entertainment's first global girl group: ALPHEM (hip-hop/R&B girl group)

Valentina & her groupmates, Gemma (21, German-South African), Isa (21, Filipino), Yumi (20, Japanese), & Zuri (22, Kenyan), have survived one of the most infamous trainee scandals in K-pop history. Now, with their debut days away in Del Sol Valley, every move is under a microscope. Can ALPHEM prove they're more than the headlines?

Want to know how ALPHEM got here?

Binge my Becoming an Idol series on Youtube! This series follows Valentina & the trainees through their trainee years in Seoul, the scandal that shook the program, and the fierce competition to secure a spot in the group.
