Sims is the creator of the Wolf Pack Challenge which uses The Sims 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] In a July 2020 patch to The Sims 4, all cowplants in the Sims were given the default name "Little Simzee" as a nod to Sims' campaign for the ability to name cowplants in game.[7] Part of this campaign included getting the #justiceforcowplants trending on the Sims gallery via a "shell" building challenge.[8]
