The Sims 4 features a content gallery where players can create and show off their Sims and other creations. While these are usually joyful or funny pictures, it appears that someone has uploaded images of an in-game model of Jeffrey Epstein. To make things worse, the model is surrounded by children in towels.
As spotted by Odysseusford on Reddit, (via Kotaku), the user uploaded these images under the title ‘NPC Children Townies’. It doesn’t directly mention Epstein, but the model definitely looks like him, and could possibly be ripped from other user creations, as there appear to be several of them in the gallery.
EA Has Removed User-Created Epstein Model From The Sims 4
In a statement to Kotaku, an EA spokesperson said that this content is “wholly unacceptable, and our team has removed it.”
“If we detect content that violates our User Agreement and Positive Play Charter, we may take a number of enforcement actions, including removing the content and the player’s access to certain or all EA Services,” continued the statement. “We encourage players to report this kind of content in The Sims Gallery by clicking Flag This on the item.”
While this particular set of images has now been removed, the report also noted that there are several creations based on Epstein available in The Sims 4. One of them features him along with associate and convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell. It was uploaded way back in 2023 and has even been downloaded by over 1,000 players. These images have still not been removed.

Magic, court intrigue, and scandals galore!
Players in the comments section were stunned to see images like this, saying “That’s one of the most evil things I’ve ever seen” and “There has been downloads which is a bit concerning.” While having images of Epstein and Maxwell in the Sims 4 gallery is bad as it is, featuring partially nude children along with him is just horrible. Hopefully, EA will address all such uploads soon.
With the Epstein files being partially released, a lot of links have been uncovered between him and the video game industry. There was a Pokemon Go PokeStop on Epstein Island, which has now been removed. He also helped push Microtransactions in the Call of Duty franchise via correspondence to former Activision CEO Bobby Kotick.
