Elizabeth “Beth” Harmon is the protagonist of the book The Queen’s Gambit by Walter Tevis, and the Netflix limited series of the same name. After watching the series (and becoming a bit obsessed with it) I decided to recreate Beth as she appears on screen, portrayed by Anya Taylor-Joy.
What was supposed to be a fairly quick project quickly got out of hand. It has taken me almost three years since I started making her, and has involved me learning how to make cc clothing from scratch and creating almost an entire new wardrobe for her, but she’s finally done and ready to be shared.
Biography
Beth Harmon is orphaned at age eight when her mother dies in a car crash. Growing up in an orphanage in Kentucky, she is taught chess by the custodian Mr. Shaibel, and soon becomes a chess prodigy. While at the orphanage, she struggles with an addiction to tranquilizers. In her teens she is adopted and begins her rapid rise in the chess world, eventually challenging the top Soviet players. As her skill and profile grows, so does her dependency on tranquilizers and eventually alcohol.

- Beth is packaged with a default skin
- Her face was sculpted with the slider range set to 3x with MasterController. If you don’t intend to change her face, it’s not necessary to change the slider range
- She is very slider heavy. You might need a mod to increase the number of sliders the game can use, such as MasterController or XCAS

Many thanks to SimmyRN, fascisthater and simsample who all gave incredibly useful feedback in the Creator Feedback Forums. Without them, Beth would probably still be sitting in my sim bin. (Published on: 2023-11-05 12:00:00)
