Y’all Got Questions… I Got Answers. (MUST READ)
I’ve been seeing the conversations and think pieces about JayESims and AI, so let me just speak on it real quick.
When I first started modding, I was learning, experimenting, and figuring things out like everybody does. I’ve never denied that and I’ve even spoken on it publicly before. If any past visuals I used for promo offended or disappointed anyone, I apologize. To be better is to do better, and I’m always open to learning and growing.
Going forward, I have not used AI in my work. None of my mods have ever been made with AI and realistically, if it worked like that, everybody would be doing it. You’ve literally been on live with me creating mods, so some of these narratives being built off pictures alone are kind of wild.
I grew up around computers, typing, watching my mom do administrative work. I can type. Everything in this world is not a prompt.
JayESims is not just a creator, I’m a brand. I’ve operated like that since day one. The way I work, the way I drop, and the pace I move at is intentional. It helps me manage my mental, stay ahead, and still show up for y’all even when I need to step back.
I use tools like Sims 4 Studio, Mod Constructor, LOT51, Canva, Freepik for icons and more. Canva is literally my best friend, I just made a full video in there the other day.
My CC wall art has always been pulled from Pinterest. I’ve always been open about my process.
I am pro people doing what they want, but I’ve also taken time to educate myself more on generative AI. The more I see, read, and experience, the more I understand why it raises real concerns.
I can’t debunk every rumor, but I can always be real with you.
Let’s also be clear, one creator’s truth is not the whole community’s truth. Just because someone works a certain way doesn’t mean everybody does.
And for those asking why I drop so fast, again, I’m a brand. I understand attention, timing, and demand. I’ve talked about this in my late night chats for a long time. This isn’t new.
At the end of the day, narratives will be narratives, but I will always stand in my truth.
You can’t educate or create change by bullying, lying, or jumping to conclusions.
We’re all learning in real time, so if you have real resources or information on AI and its impact, I’m open to it. I don’t mind being educated.
See you guys April 20th for our Build A Mod Live with Jaye event on TikTok. The proof will always be in the pudding.

ima stand beside you regardless..and thats the tea
luv u boo bump the haters !❤️💖
yayyy
People are so ignorant i swear. I'm sorry you even had to address this nonsense, Jaye. Anyone with common sense knows you can't create a functioning mod with AI and cover art for the mod page is so irrelevant when it comes to the actual gameplay. You know I will always defend you when I see them spreading lies! Keep doing you Jaye!🫶🏿🤍💖👑
People really need to leave you the hell alone!!! Even if you did use AI… so what? That’s nobody’s business but yours. You’re still the one with the vision, the creativity, and the talent to bring it all together. Your work speaks for itself, and your numbers prove it!! Keep doing YOU!
well AI usage does matter as it’s using water to function, a non renewable resource. so yes it DOES matter but i’ve never got the feeling Jaye used AI
Well me personally never thought you used AI and I am sure all of here never thought me myself and I don’t care what you use I will still support you defend you if need be I use AI how I got my sims 4 game to launch after 3 months of trying it even helped me find the right mods for my game now if it can help me organize my mods folder lol but seriously it’s your choice to use whatever program you choose too we still love you and your work PERIOD
Thank you so much for this. I do try to push back against this narrative when I hear it - because your followers are protective of you, but you can't stop the flow of gossip and heresay xxxx
Thank you so much Dee!! I appreciate you more than you know!!
The fact that this has to be a conversation and addressed is wild to me
Some days I do indeed miss being a small creator....
See you guys April 20th for live Mod building! Get your pens and pads ready!
