Sims started making YouTube videos about The Sims in 2015.[1] Sims' most popular YouTube video, "I left The Sims unpaused all night by accident and THIS is what happened..." has over 1.2 million views.[2] As of October 2020, Sims has over 1,000,000 subscribers.[3]

Sims is the creator of the Wolf Pack Challenge which uses The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs expansion pack.[4] In 2019, for her "Simsie Save", in which Sims renovates the game's worlds and characters, Sims made all toilets in her save gender-neutral.[5][6] One of Sims' longest running YouTube series was the "100 Baby Challenge" series, in which she completed the 100 Baby Challenge in The Sims 4 over the course of five years.[7]

In a July 2020 patch to The Sims 4, all cowplants in the game were given the default name "Little Simzee" as a nod to Sims' campaign for the ability to name cowplants in game.[8] Part of this campaign included getting the #justiceforcowplants trending on the Sims gallery via a "shell" building challenge.[9] In August 2020, Sims joined other Sims YouTubers in speaking out against the lack of diversity in skin tones in The Sims 4.[10]

In October 2020, Sims announced her collaboration with The Sims 4: Snowy Escape expansion pack, creating three lots for the game: 6-4-1 Hanamigawa, 5-6-1 Shinrinyoku, and 2-5-1 Wakabamori.[11][12]
