Care instructions are noted on each garment. Most garments are pre-washed to minimize shrinking. We recommend to turn inside out to protect the printed design, machine wash on cold, and tumble dry on low or hang dry to avoid any additional shrinking.

The best way to know when an item is back in stock is to sign-up to receive in-stock notifications or subscribe to our email list. You can also follow us on social @TheSims or check back here at our shop. We will do our best to provide estimates if available on when items will be restocked.

Please note that pre-orders will have a delay in shipping. We will do our best to provide the estimated ship date and ship out as soon as we can. Please check the product description for expected ship timeframes. It's important for us to be as transparent as possible with our community. Offering pre-orders allows us to be more sustainable by only making what you, our community want. Please reach out to us if you have any questions.

Sizing varies across our products. Please view the sizing chart or refer to the product image model sizing for reference. Some products that don’t have sizing charts will include size and fit recommendations in the product description.

Currently our merch is shipped out of the US, which unfortunately does mean that folks outside of America will experience higher shipping costs, custom charges, and longer shipping times. Ensuring The Sims is accessible across the globe is really important to us, and we hope to be able to improve this in the future. If you have any questions, please email us at sulsul@shopthesims.com.
