Benedict Cumberbatch isn’t a “massive fanboy” of Sherlock Holmes and says the detective would “dismiss him in a heartbeat” if the two sat down to tea. But Mr. Cumberbatch’s interpretation of the character on the PBS series “Sherlock” certainly has a massive fan base.
When PBS announced a screening of the modern take on the Baker Street Boys at a 400-seat theater in New York, 10,000 people responded. Fans flew in from Arizona and drove up from North Carolina to get a sneak peak on Wednesday night at the first episode of season two, which airs on PBS-affiliate Thirteen on Sunday night.
The crowd at the French Institute Alliance Française howled at every glimpse of Mr. Cumberbatch on screen, including a scene in which he appears as Sherlock, dressed in just a bed sheet at Buckingham Palace. The infamous Irene Adler (Lara Pulver) also made her first appearance in the first episode, recast as a dominatrix and wearing nothing more than blood-red lipstick and heels.
The screaming didn’t stop after the lights went up and Mr. Cumberbatch, the series co-creator Steven Moffat and producer Sue Vertue (also Mr. Moffat’s wife), took to the stage. Whether it’s the success of “Sherlock” or Mr. Cumberbatch’s recent roles in “War Horse” and “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” the group admitted to being much more confident the second time around.
“You should have seen us before the first season premiered,” Mr. Cumberbatch said. “We were terrified.”
The group weighed in on “Elementary,” too, the CBS version of a modern Sherlock Holmes, which is set in New York and stars Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock and Lucy Liu as Watson.
The “Sherlock” team isn’t, in fact, consulting in the project, as had been reported. Only Mr. Cumberbatch had anything to say about it: “There is room for two Sherlocks, as we’ve seen from the motion picture [with Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr.], so why not three?”
Even the end of the evening was met with squeals and screams: Mr. Cumberbatch would be signing autographs in the lobby of the French Institute. Sherlock-mania couldn’t have been louder.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3m3ivgM1y1qmxg8ho1_1280.jpg)

because so many people donated pictures, i wanted to make this in both sims3pack and package, but tsrw would not cooperate. if anyone wants to tackle that, feel free, but for now, it is package only. sorry :(
Here is the second download I promised, there will be a third, since I got carried away and ended up making a girl too. His name is Theo and he’s a sculptor.
The hair is from Newsea, skin and make-up ephemera, cheek pores by shyne, eyes by escand, lipstick by IN3S.

sennypsims answered your question: download ready, y/n??
mmmm… N. I think he looks a little rough. His features seem a little disproportional[sp?] Eyes are too small for his nose. IMO, tho.Haha, I actually agree with you however I used a guide of the actor’s face and that’s pretty…
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH
By request, here is Benedict Cumberbatch. Kind of as Sherlock Holmes because I used that role as a reference but….uhhh yeah.
A. I’ve never watched the show.
B. I’ve been naming all my files “Benedict Cumperpatch.” So yeah, I really don’t know the guy past the pictures I looked at.
C. I don’t normally do requests, especially of real people, BUT I got asked several times and his face was interesting. It’s not perfect because like I’ve said several times I’m not great at real people, however I think it’s quite close….hopefully. Maybe. Sort of. Either way, I don’t wish for critique JUST SAYING, hahah.
Enjoy! For now, I only have a Sims3Pack, sorryyyy. Also, there is a short ToS that by downloading you agree to:
You may SLIGHTLY alter him to your liking, however do NOT use him as a base to create your own Benedict sim. Credit is not COMPLETELY required, though if possible it is appreciated. DO NOT claim him as your own. DO NOT re-upload him. Other than that, do what you please. Make him a detective. Make him an actor. Make him a firefighter. A gay one.
GO CRAZY.
CREDITS: Skin, contacts, hair, eye bags. Lips/nose shader are Tifa. Eyebrows areeee….a random one I got by downloading Sims, sorry!
I am still tweaking, but maybe, just maybe you can see that I am trying to make Benedict Cumberbatch, aka Sherlock, into a sim. The most frustrating part is I can’t find the right hair for him. :(
Also, did I mention, trying to recreate a real person as a sim is SO hard!
