It’s no surprise, then, that there are plenty of pop stars available to download in The Sims 4 gallery. Plenty of talented Simmers have tried their hand at recreating some of their favorite pop artists, and these are some of the best that players can add to their game.

The stand-out feature of this Justin Bieber Sim is the eyes, as there is a sincerity to them that captures Bieber’s expressions perfectly. NiJaMa0522 also got every other aspect of Bieber’s appearance right, such as his slight stubble, eyebrow shape, and chiseled jaw.

The makeup, especially the red lipstick, is also expertly chosen.

2 Miley Cyrus
Created by elodiejean
- Expansions: Get Famous, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together
- Game Packs: Vampires, Outdoor Retreat

Ex-Disney star Miley Cyrus has made a name for herself as a musician in her own right, separating herself from the cheery and child-friendly Disney image she had to have in her Hannah Montana days. Her image has changed significantly over the years, so there are a lot of versions of her in The Sims 4 gallery that recreate certain eras. This one is a more modern take from her "Endless Summer Vacation" era.
Simmer elodiejean has recreated Miley Cyrus perfectly, with excellent detail that replicates her facial features. The piercing blue eyes and narrow nose are particularly impressive, as are the accessory choices that emphasize Miley’s vintage glamour vibes.
1 Michael Jackson
Created by koaleigh
- Expansions: Eco Living
- Game Packs: Werewolves
Last but not least is the King of Pop himself: the late, great Michael Jackson. Simmer koaleigh has recreated Jackson’s iconic look from the iconic "Thriller" music video. Not only is his face perfect, but his high school attire, complete with a vintage football jacket, mimics his look from the video.
Best of all, this Sim can transform into a werewolf, much like he does in the horror movie-themed music video. That does mean that players will need Werewolves game pack to get the full experience, but it is well worth it to have this Sim transforming when the moon is full.
