For our first entry in this Sims 4 characters list, we have the highly iconic Don Lothario. He is a pre-made young adult Sim in the game who lives in Oasis Springs with the Caliente household. In The Sims 2, it could be remembered that he was also a playable character who lived in Pleasantview and Riverview.

Next up on our list is the young adult Vanessa Jeong. This Sims 4 Sim is another pre-made character who has been introduced when The Sims 4: Get Famous was launched. She resides in Del Sol Valley and is known for being an up-and-coming 1-star celebrity who has starred in lesser-known commercials. Having the World-Famous Celebrity as her aspiration, she works hard to level up her actress career. Vanessa Jeong is also seen in The Sims Mobile as a townie that you can unlock in the game.

3. Vi Moradi

Vi Moradi is a pre-made female young adult Sim who has been introduced in The Sims 4 after the launch of the game pack The Sims 4: Journey to Batuu.

4. Nalani Mahi’ai’

Nalani Mahi’ai’ is another notable Sims 4 character, who has graced the game with her presence after the launch of The Sims 4: Island Living.

Nalani Mahi’ai’ is a female, young adult mermaid Sim who lives in Sulani and is skilled in Charisma and Fitness.

5. Captain Whitaker

Captain Whitaker is another awesome Sims 4 character, as he is an adoptable adult ghost dog in the game! He joined the Sims 4 when the expansion pack, Cats & Dogs, was released in November 2017. Captain Whitaker’s character was said to be inspired by the actor Forest Whitaker who starred in the 1999 movie Ghost Dog: The Way of The Samurai. He is the only pre-made deceased pet in The Sims 4 and often roams around Brindleton Bay. You can befriend him and actually make him “play dead”!

6. Mayor Whiskers

Mayor Whiskers is another pre-made adoptable pet in The Sims 4, but he is not yet dead like Captain Whitaker. He is a male stray cat that could be seen wandering around the streets of Brindleton Bay. Some Sims claim that Whiskers is the actual elected Mayor of their town, and this could be tied to the fact that he frequently dwells near the town hall. Sims who befriend Mayor Whiskers can interact with him and later on adopt him. However, albeit he’s friendly and talkative, he is also an aloof cat.

7. Agnes Crumplebottom

Ah, who can ever forget Agnes Crumplebottom? The OG NPC from The Sims: Hot Date, who strictly adheres to proper manners and slaps people who exhibit any signs of indecent behavior. Also known as Miss Crumplebottom, Agnes apparently lost her husbands Robert Crumplebottom and Erik Darling, which scarred her deeply and caused her to become bitter regarding all things romance.

Agnes appeared in all 4 Sims games, and in The Sims 4, she currently resides in Henford-on-Bagley, focusing on her plants/garden business with her cousin Agatha Crumplebottom.

8. Count Vladislaus Straud IV

The two NPCs, originally known as Lady Mimsy Alcorn Shallot and Lord Bernard Escargot Shallot IV, used to live in the splendid manor.
