===The Sims 4 Edition===
In the fall of 2014, Phoenix will also serve as a judge on the judging panel of the very first season of Sims Next Top Model - the The Sims 4 adaptation.
==Personal life==
Phoenix had an emotional roller coaster in the year of 2012, when, during a cruise with her family, the ship sank. For four months, Phoenix had to live on an island in the middle of nowhere. Nobody heard anything from her and was really worried. After the four months passed, the media found a starving Erin Phoenix, a sick Nicole, and a lot of corpses. The event led Erin to a depression as she was now widowed, and it took her months to recover. After those months passed, Erin eventually reopened her Facebook account and continued modelling normally, and living her life.
