When The Sims debuted in 2000, it was the first game of its kind. It allowed players to live vicariously through virtual beings they could build from scratch and have complete control over.
24 years and numerous sequels later, The Sims franchise remains a favorite among worldwide fans of the life simulation genre. And this Facebook page of 'Sims' memes proves that the game has, indeed, stood the test of time.
If you've spent thousands of hours in your very own “Sim” world, these images may resonate with you.

Mine always died of old age, except the very first Sim I created in the first Sims. He burnt up while cooking his first meal due to lack of cooking skills. Took me 2 hours to create him and his home and 10 seconds to start all over.

The new option for rental buildings has been good for me. Now I can stack all those homeless Sims in rental buildings, 6 households with eight in each. After that I just keep deleting them. I can only spend so much time dealing with unwanted extras. Is it really murder when you just delete them?

Man, I feel bad that I don't play this way. I normally take a random adult sim and force them with toddlers and infants (sims 4) and trap them all in a dangerous and inconvenient house and see what happens

As far as I know you can't do that any more without a mod. EA doesn't want pregnant women or children to die until they get older.
The Sims Memes Facebook page has around 122,000 followers. It features images of jargon and inside jokes that are near and dear to the hearts of the game’s fans, spanning different generations.
Some memes poke fun at the game’s highly engrossing nature, where many players lose track of time in front of the computer. Others show the evolution of characters through the years.

Many enjoy playing in their versions of reality through the different characters they create. Executive producer and general manager Lyndsay Pearson says that aspect helped the game remain relevant after over two decades.
“The Sims has always been a game where players can play with life,” Pearson told The Washington Post. “While the settings and themes evolve, at the core, this need is still there. The need to explore, experiment, build a life and create — those activities resonate regardless of generation.”

I made a Sim look and behave like my ex-husband. I tormented him by keeping him alive, locked in a room with seven toddlers and no entertainment. After that I got better ideas and spent more on packs/ kits.

And then putting them in the pool and deleting the stairs to get out so the Sim drowns lol or lock em in a room and delete the door. They'll throw a hissy fit, but eventually you can add that headstone to the cemetery in the backyard lol I know I wasn't the only one who did that lol

The Sims incorporated diversity and inclusivity even before these two ideologies became mainstream. The earliest versions of the game featured same-sex relationships, and its 2016 expansion of The Sims 4 included gender-neutral characters.
As Pearson admits, The Sims likely wouldn’t have the same longevity if developers Electronic Arts and Maxis had not prioritized broadening perspectives.
“That means we need voices from women, people who grew up all over the world, and voices of underrepresented groups,” she said.

I had to call the fire department last week after walking by a tent encampment in a small parkette and noticing a tent on fire. There was a woman standing in the park when I passed by, just a couple of metres from the flaming nylon, either completely oblivious or willfully ignoring it, I couldn't tell.

I like the simple builds with less clutter. They usually don't have oddball errors to find and fix and don't cause the game to lag/ hang. I usually end up making my own because I can't find a simple version of what I'm looking for. I'm getting to the point of figuring out how to make more than a box house. :)

I thought it was just me who thinks this when interacting with people 🤣
But the introduction of same-sex relationships in the game wasn’t by design. This happened due to a mistake in the old design documents for its 1999 demo. But the developers decided to keep it, which worked well in the long run.
“In hindsight, I probably should have questioned the design,” programmer Patrick J. Barrett III told The New Yorker in a 2014 interview. “But the design felt right, so I just implemented it.”

I dunno, I liked the style of 3 so much that I still opt for that over 4. Making my sims look fairly realistic I guess...lack of body modifiers isn't great though.
Child-friendly graphics and gameplay aside, The Sims touches on some of life’s morbid aspects, like death. Maxis Vice President Joe Nickolls compares this approach to how 1950s chemistry toys came with actual combustible materials.
“No one actually thought [kids] could a) kill themselves or b) blow themselves up. But they used to sell these [toys]. And you could do whatever you wanted with those things, sometimes in peril.
“But in The Sims, you can do all the things that you want to do and not get hurt doing it.”

The Sims also tapped into current pop culture trends to keep things fresh. Singer Katy Perry recorded a Simlish version of her hit song “Hot and Cold,” delighting fans of the music and the game.
It has brought the franchise considerable success, and EA’s chief studios officer, Laura Miele, plans to continue this practice.
“I think that Sims provides an incredible canvas for us to tap into all kinds of relevant trends, whether it be music, fashion, design, and architecture, or in TV and media,” she said. “And we are going to continue to do more of that. That is the direction we’re headed.”

Living in a fast-paced digital world means keeping up with the trends to stay ahead. For their part, top executives at EA Games are already planning the next generation of games compatible with a “cloud-enabled world.”
“We certainly see interactive entertainment going to a place of streaming and being in a place where cross-platform play becomes a priority. I certainly perceive The Sims to be incredibly accessible, very global,” Miele said.

“For Rent” is The Sims 4’s latest expansion, released in December 2023. As of this posting, there haven’t been updates about a 5th installment of the game and whether or not it will come out. However, according to senior producer Mike Duke, there are still many concepts to play around with.
“It’s a game about life, and we all have an amazing abundance of experiences and stories we want to tell. How are we ever going to finish The Sims? I don’t think we will.”

None of them are hard really. Its the adult sims who can't put them down and leave them T H alone that make it insane. One Sim puts the infant in the crib and the other keeps taking it out over and over and over again. I have yelled cuss words at my Sims.

This has happened to me every time, except for my rags to riches challenge, let me explain: I decided to do a Sims challenge. It's called rags to riches. In it, you either start with nothing, or a small unfurnished house with zero money. I chose the latter. I decided to catch fish until I had 50 simoleons (money) so that I could paint a picture on an easel outside. I kept painting until I could buy my own easel. Now that's all she does for money. I accidentally invited over a lesbian couple and their son, and every time they saw each other, they'd come into my Sims en suite bathroom and have a fight. To annoy them more, I flirted with both of them. I then bullied their son. The son ended up being the only person who liked me. Each time they had a fight, they'd start playing the violin/guitar or doing press ups afterwards. Eventually, I bought them all a bed with money that I had inherited from my uncles great grandfather. I then got a message of one of them asking if they should be

friends with someone. The reason they called me is because they left. So I immediately sold their bed and anything they'd made, so I could buy a roomba. I then became a celebrity through painting, and then became a more important celebrity the day after. Because all she did was paint, she had no social interactions. luckily a random club called her over to go swimming. These people were basically *The Mean Girls" all wearing pink, and a little group. My SIM left because she was tired, and that was that. The next day, my SIM began to "Emotion bomb" "Cry continuously" and "depressed". So I decided to message everyone I could on her phone, and send flirty messages to every man I could (Because she wanted a baby) . Only one person replied, and they replied with a joke. So I invited a random woman in my contacts over. Turned out to be the leader of the "Mean Girls". I decided, that if my SIM was already going to be depressed, I may as well make her flirty again for a bit. (The next bit of
