One of my guilty pleasures is watching Sims 4 YouTubers create Sims based on popular people or characters. There’s just something so fascinating about watching very talented people sculpt and mold a random Sim into someone more recognizable!
A good chunk of my frequently-watched videos with this theme involve Overwatch characters.
The amount of Create-a-Sim videos I have watched for Tracer, D.Va, Hanzo, Sombra, and Soldier: 76 is a little embarrassing, not gonna lie.
But the upside to this is that it’s lead me to discover tons of TS4 Overwatch CC. And I’ve curated a huge list of ‘em right here!
This is, without a doubt, one of the most extensive CC projects I’ve ever seen. And I’m in awe that just one person managed to pull it off.
Someone somewhere must have jokingly said; “The Sims 4, but make it Overwatch,” and LaLuvi took that as a challenge.
Their downloadable save file contains custom Sims as Overwatch Heroes and TS4 neighborhoods edited and reworked to resemble the different maps. You’ve got the Shimada Castle in Willow Creek, Hillside Highlands in Newcrest, and Overwatch Headquarters in Windenburg!
The cast of characters includes (among others), Mercy, Ana, Tracer, Soldier 76, and Reinhardt.
The concept is impressive and the execution? Even more so. If you have a deep passion for both games, I highly recommend downloading and installing their save file ASAP!
(P.S. Don’t forget to check the description to see a list of necessary packs).
Amélie Lacroix is skilled, graceful, and one of the deadliest snipers in the world.
Hearing her say “I see you,” in-game is enough to send most players scrambling for cover.
As Widowmaker, her unmistakable (and slightly eerie) spider-visor is as iconic as it is lethal. Valhallan’s TS4 conversion of it may not be animated, but it’s still cool as heck!
Widowmaker also has that impossibly long (and impeccably sleek) ponytail. Shades of her former ballerina life peeping through, maybe? Either way, she rocks it.
And I’m sure your Sim (whether they’re actually dressing up as Widowmaker) can, too!
Symmetra’s light-bending abilities may be powered by her Photon Projector, but her headpiece deserves just as much credit. For looking hella cool, if nothing else.
And how cool is it that this comes in 28 swatches?
If you ever wanted to play around with Symmetra’s color scheme, this is the perfect opportunity to do so!
Symmetra is one of those lucky people who can pull off literally any style.
I’m trying to imagine this clunky – but still cool! – helmet-slash-visor combo on anyone else, and it’s not giving me the same ‘untouchable warrior of light’ vibes.
If you weren’t able to get Symmetra’s Anniversary helmet in Overwatch, you can at least try it out in the Sims!
Tracer’s Legendary Anniversary outfit, Graffiti, features the ever-charming Lena Oxton in an aqua-blue hoodie, full-face visor, gasmask, and of course her chronal accelerator strapped proudly to her front.
Your Sim may not be able to blink like she can, but they can probably look just as cool in her duds!
As one of the strongest primary healers in the Overwatch Heroes lineup, Dr. Angela Ziegler is literally an angel of mercy.
It therefore makes sense for her costume to look the way it does!
Now, your Sim can take to the skies – or at least look like they can – with winglysimmer’s full Mercy outfit conversion. Hats, shoes, and accessories included!
If you prefer Mercy and Genji’s costumes from their younger years – aka the pre-Overwatch disbandment age – then this collab set should contain exactly what you’re looking for.
Natalia-auditore and winglysimmer bring us Dr. Ziegler’s soft, baby-blue medic uniform and Genji Shimada’s post-murder-angst getup. The quality of these conversions is incredible!
If you’re a stickler for details and you want your Overwatch Sims to look as close to the source material as possible, puna-sims CAS pack might interest you!
It contains 23 custom skin overlays and 24 custom eye colors all modeled after the Overwatch Heroes.
The human heroes, at least.
Sorry, Wilson; no mods/CCs for creating giant, highly-intelligent gorillas yet.
10. (Outfit) D.Va Overwatch Costume Set by Gummy.cc
Hana Song’s default battle gear is pretty simple (compared to a lot of the other Heroes on Overwatch’s roster).
I mean, she flies into battle with just a bodysuit, some padding (for armor) and a stylized headset. Plus, her mech is designed to take all the heavy hits, so the simplicity makes sense.
Ergo, Gummy.cc’s iteration of her uniform is akin to a colorful, full-body catsuit with some extra bells and whistles (read: shoes and gloves) included.
This is just like Gummy.cc’s D.Va Overwatch Costume Set: a full body costume that basically replicates D.Va’s pilot uniform.
The biggest difference between Gummycc’s costume and this one (by ImYourNemesis) is the fit. This one’s a little smoother and sleeker, and it looks more like it’s been painted on.
For a former-assassin-turned-ranged-weapon-specialist, Hanzo Shimada really stands out in a crowd, what with his asymmetrical ponytail, grey, wing-like sideburns, and completely exposed left chest and arm covered in a giant dragon tattoo.
Honestly, even with just the hair and tattoo in this set (courtesy of Simple Simmer) you could easily recreate the heir to the Shimada empire in TS4.
Valhallan’s CAS set gives you access to some more iconic markings and tattoos from the Overwatch cast: Pharah’s eye tattoo, Zarya’s 512 arm tattoo, Roadhog’s Whole Hog ink, and more!
Cole Cassidy – formerly known as Jesse McCree – is a sharp-shooting cowboy in classic Western garb. Chaps, spurs, rough leather gloves, and a light-brown Stetson.
Oh; can’t forget his bright red serape.
You’ll have to get the boots, pants, and spurs elsewhere, but the Stetson and the serape? Valhallan’s Huckleberry pack has got you covered.
Finding out about Blackwatch was an absolute delight for me, what with it having three of my favorite Overwatch Heroes as the members.
This CAS pack by Valhallan isn’t a cosplay/costume set for Blackwatch Genji, Jesse (Cole), Moira, and Gabriel Reyes.
It’s instead a package of Blackwatch-themed stuff:
McCree’s Deadlock tattoo, Reyes’ facial scars, McCree’s cigarillo… just some tiny details and accessories that add more life and likeliness to the Sim model.
Full list of all goodies can be found in the description!
Jack Morrison is your classic All-American Golden Boy, so it’s sort of fitting that his military-grade uniform could be simplified – and Sims-ified – into a varsity jacket.
It’s not a total cosplay costume, per se. It’s more an everyday clothing item inspired by Soldier:76’s getup. And I think that concept works just fine.
There’s an inside joke of sorts in the Overwatch community (at least the literature/lore side) that Hana’s pretty much Morrison’s daughter, what with her being the youngest Hero on the roster.
So if her dad gets a cool Soldier:76 varsity jacket, then gosh darn it! D.Va should get one, too!
Wish granted. This jacket is pink, college-stylish, and sports D.Va’s signature bunny patch. Love this!
19. Shooting Star – D.Va Meka Jacket & Hat by alexaarr
Blizzard’s Overwatch animated shorts are always a delight to watch — especially for those of us who love the lore and world-building aspect of this FPS game.
D.Va’s Shooting Star short was an absolute treat, and I 100% agree with the creator: her casual jacket-and-ball-cap getup in it was super cute!
If you’re of the same opinion, alexaarr’s CC won’t disappoint.
For all her cute, bubbly, social-media-star façade, Hana Song is a fighter.
She’s on the Overwatch roster for a reason, and it’s not just because she can pilot a mecha. So, like the warriors of old, Hana wears warpaint with pride.
Your Sim can smear these triangles on their cheeks, too. And they can get them in other colors (8 total) to boot.
Tracer’s got a pretty distinct hairstyle. It’s kind of like Hanzo’s and Sombra’s: bold, asymmetrical, and pretty easy to spot in a crowd of normal, salon-and-barbershop-standard haircuts.
Dr. Mei-Ling Zhou is the team’s resident precious cinnamon roll, and she must be protected at all costs. She may be a scientist first, but she’s still a force to be reckoned with (especially with all that ice she blasts around).
Her hair is a traditional high bun with face-framing strands at the front.
Not as difficult to replicate or source in the vanilla game, but – as with puna-sims’ D.Va Hair – downloading specific CC is just so much easier!
Now that you’ve got Mercy’s hair, you can plop her headpiece on top of it.
Her Valkyrie skin headpiece, to be more specific.
It’s a Legendary cosmetic that you can purchase in-game for a couple hundred (or thousand, I think) credits. Lucky for us Simmers, Valhallan’s beautifully-detailed conversion of Dr. Ziegler’s glorious, feathered helmet is free!
Pharah’s sharp-eyed, sharp-witted mother Ana also sports some cool Egyptian-pantheon facial tattoos! In fact, considering she’s older, her ink probably inspired Pharah’s own.
Either way, the Eye of Ra looks cool.
And your Sim – thanks to possiblytye’s CC – can wear it too!
Ana Amari may have stuck to the primarily blue color scheme from her younger years, but it looks like she traded her stylish emblazoned beret for a more sensible, identity-concealing hood.
Hey, she did fake her own death. Gotta keep the face hidden.
Anyway, if you’re feeling her headpiece of choice from her Uprising days, Valhallan’s conversion of her beret sits beautifully on almost all hairs!
I have always found Sombra’s character design to be one of the coolest in the Talon Heroes lineup.
In fact, if I’m being honest, hers is my favorite design amongst the female Heroes, period.
I am an especially huge fan of her sidecut and purple makeup.
And while any old sidecut would probably do if you’re just after the shape of her hair, starwarspotato’s CC adds the extra tech Sombra has installed to make it more true-to-character.
Finish off your Sombra build with her stylish purple outfit!
I mean, I’m sure it’s packed with all the technological gimmicks and doodads your everyday, on-the-go, super-hacker needs. But I don’t know much about that.
I just think it looks really cool. And amberkielher’s conversion looks fantastic in-game, too!
Winglysimmer actually released a Sims 4 conversion of Hanzo’s stylized Kyudo Gi—plus a couple other sweet custom cosmetics.
The download seems to have been taken down now, but natalia-auditore’s Hanzo Set still contains some of the accessories: the hair, the beard, some cool “master archer” poses, and most importantly, Shimada Hanzo’s reliable Stormbow.
Hanzo’s Lone Wolf skin is definitely one of his more theatrical costumes.
I mean, if Blizzard wanted to visually remind us that this guy’s a highly-skilled master assassin with serious social hang-ups (plus attitude issues), they did a good job.
Ashe being added as a playable Hero was a pleasant surprise.
She’s an absolute stunner, what with her sharp features, all-leather fashion, and smooth voice. I love her character design overall, so puna-sims’ dedicated Ashe CAS pack made me so ridiculously happy.
The set contains, among other things, her asymmetrical haircut, black Stetson, cowboy boots, and of course the Deadlock tattoo!
What I love about Reaper’s costume design is that he wasn’t built to look like the Western version of the Grim Reaper: black cloak and hood, skeleton face, giant scythe, etc.
Despite initial impressions, Blizzard stayed true to Reyes’ Hispanic roots and designed his Reaper persona to resemble an owl.
In Spanish culture, an owl is an omen of death. The large eyes, the beaked mask, and when he flies in wraith form? It’s all owl.
So I kinda get why the creator said this was a giant project.
Converting every bit of Gabriel Reyes’ post-death getup can’t have been easy! But it paid off, and now we can have Reaper’s boots, mask, and wraith outfit for our own game.
It may not be Brigitte’s badass armor, but it’s still Brigitte-inspired! Besides, this simple tee looks like it’d be much more comfortable for casual, everyday wear.
Speaking of CAS closet staples, this is another simple, short-sleeved tee that your Sim can just shrug on and go! It comes in three different designs, all inspired by everyone’s favorite Shambali monk, Zenyatta.
All three are printed on black (or at least very dark grey) t-shirts. Which is good! Everyone looks good in black.
Here’s another version of Mei’s jammies set by tashamaria.
This version is more of an asymmetrical off-shoulder sweater — compared to puna-sims’ loose crew-neck cut. This one also looks a lot more textured. Choose whichever look you prefer! I’m just here to give options.
Valhallan’s Ornamental set features 23 different designs for 23 different characters, and they are all sorts of hopelessly adorable.
You can’t expect to decorate a sweater with tiny knitted Reapers and Sombras and not expect people like me to react in some way. It’s seriously too cute to compute!
As with iamzauma’s D.Va Swimsuit, these swim pieces aren’t so much cosplay items as they are D.Va-inspired clothes.
And in that regard, they look great!
The designs for this set are a lot more abstract in the sense that they use D.Va’s concepts and themes rather than just copying her uniform word-for-word (or detail-for-detail?). I think that just makes them all the more wearable!
And they’re just clayified enough to be totally Maxis Match.
More fun Overwatch wall prints! Instead of showing the character’s headshots, though, part 1 of jokeplease’s Overwatch Posters set features minimalist logos to represent the different Heroes.
There are a total of 22 swatches aka characters, including (but not limited to!) Tracer, Reaper, D.Va, Mei, Reinhardt, and Zarya.
Another set of Overwatch sprays-turned-wall-stickers, courtesy of Valhallan! Be Tankful! contains designs for Reinhardt, Winston, Zarya, D.Va, and Roadhog — aka the main tanks in the roster (hence the name).
Each character has about 25 items each, for a total of 125 new wall art.
