Sims' Next Top Male Model

Sims' Next Top Male Model (abbreviated SNTMM) is a virtual reality series created in The Sims 3 based on Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model, which sees a number of aspiring male models compete against each other in a variety of competitions to win the title of "Sims' Next Top Model" and a chance to begin their career in the modelling industry. The series is a "brother series" of Sims' Next Top Model and was created by former judge Maicle Gambardella. In many seasons of Top Model, SNTMM alumnus have been featured as co-models for the contestants, as well as made appearances at Fashion Week. The series is photos only and no episodes have been recorded.

The series has spawned the spin-off series Sims' Next Top Male Model Spin-Off, where each season sees a number of past contestants from the main series returning.

Format
Each season has 8–20 episodes and starts with 10–16 contestants. The contestants are judged weekly on their performance in photo shoots, and at the end of each week one contestant is eliminated, though in some cases a double elimination or non-elimination is given by consensus of the judging panel. Cycle 11 saw the implementation of a team system, which would later be elaborated upon and return in cycle 24. From cycles 11–23 (with the exception of cycle 14), the series casted in specific regions or continents only. Cycles 8, 16 and 24 make up the Blood vs. Water sub-series in which a number of past contestants return along with relatives and compete against one another.

Judges
The only credited judge of the series is creator Maicle Gambardella, who has been the head judge and mentor for the contestants since the first season. Other, uncredited judges appear behind the scenes to help make decisions.
