Do you have a favorite Sim from any game and if so, who is it? - Matt Brown’s Answer from the r/Sims3 AMA (May 11, 2025)

And depending on your criteria, my favorite Sim would have to be Goopy Gilscarbo from Sims 2. He's not my favorite because he's an awesome, attractive, lovable Sim (obviously). He's my favorite because of how he came to be. The townies in Sims 2 (random Sims that wander by your house and can form relationships but who don't live in houses in the neighborhood) are expensive to generate. So we couldn't just generate all of the townies in the “townie pool” at runtime when you launch the game. What we did instead was that we generated them once in-game on someone's machine just running the Sims 2 build, and then we saved them out. Then when you install the game you get the same set of townies in that pool that everyone else does. However, we (Maxis) didn’t explicitly make them, and it’s possible we didn’t even really look at them closely.

We definitely didn't hand edit them in most cases. So that outfit, the way he looks, his personality, everything else, those were just randomly generated. I think most people know that his name is a random combination of first/last names of team members (Goopy Rossi and Gabe Gilscarbo in his case), but just the combination of those particularly unique names and the alliteration is just funny in its own right? And the fact that he was such a horrible character who was also a romance SIM was extra hilarious.

So he's my favorite Sim because he was completely randomly generated, but because he was consistent for everyone, he became a “shared experience” for players and the community turned him into a thing that people still talk about now.

And all of that makes me smile :)

Maxis recliners fixed to allow diagonal

Have you ever noticed that some of the maxis recliners work diagonally, and some don't? And why is it that it's always the one you want to use that won't work? Me and @kashmiresims both constantly put them diagonal only to go "dangit sim!" when they won't use it. Well no more.

This is a simple CRES-replacement for the four maxis recliners that for some reason don't work, even though the game does have that functionality in some. Heads up the entry slot is a little annoying, it's located pretty far up the chair on the right side, you need to keep that space free for them to be able to use it. I might make an update to this in future where I look at moving that slot to make it both look less silly, and also more playable, but that is a project for another time so for now, I'll share this version.

Each recliner has to be fixed individually, so this can't impact CC recliners. I suggest recloning one of the functioning ones and moving the mesh over.

Remake of this old drawing I made almost a year ago

Bonus:

Their night time routine

Bro, I'm not joking they literally do this every night in my game. Like you horny bitches need to chill, read books while you both are in bed together. They go from 0 to 100 real fast💀💀

My green guy definitely needed a redesign. I think T looks better with his hair slightly curling at the ends
