Things about the sims 1 that make you feel like you're trapped in a post-WW2 suburban dystopia

1. The game has no days of the week. The game is, in a sense, "locked in time"

2. The sims work every day. NO HOLIDAYS.

3. The easiest way to make money and maintain relationships is to have one "breadwinner" sim and one sims who stays home. The classic 50s nuclear-family way of life.

4. Making money or friends when you live alone is quite hard. In a lot of ways, you get married in order to live an easier life.

5. You cannot quit your job, you can only be fired.

6. Children never grow up.

7. Sims never get old.

8. A tabloid is delivered to your house every day. Make sure to gossip about your neighbors!

9. The music makes you feel like you're trapped in a 50s shopping mall.

10. NPCs are not real sims. They're just lower-class automatons that live to serve the playable sims.

11. Using the toilet is so inappropriate of that your ENTIRE BODY is blurred out.

12. There is no weather or seasons. It is always sunny outside. This also contributes to the warped sense of time, and the sense that the sims are living inside of a 1950s sitcom world instead of in a real place.

I understand why people mod it, as playing it out-of-the-box is subject to all the above things and that gets old, but I definitely think it's worth playing the un-modded game for a bit first to really get the eeriness of the original game.

It's a really thoughtfully crafted game.

I will never get over how much love everyone at Maxis put into dirt textures for this game. Frankly, I think it's one of the aspects that elevates it to greatness. I love you, dirt-streaked truck windows.

Happy 20th, TS2.

Cryptid Series: The Mothman

During a roadtrip passing Strangetown in 1998, two young couples from Pleasantview--John and Jennifer, and Daniel and Mary Sue--told local policeman Deputy Duncan that they had seen a large black creature whose eyes "glowed red", standing at the side of the road near Division 47, the site of an alien crash. The creature pursued them as far as the Strangetown city limits.

When inquired about the Mothman, local eccentric and senior party girl Olive Specter had this to say: "Oh that's just Earl. He often flies down the water tower to look for food or when he finds strange lights to follow. He's harmless. Just throw him an old sweater or something if you see him."

When asked what to do without a piece of old clothing to give to Earl, Mrs. Specter responded by saying: "Well then, I guess you would just die. Have a nice evening."

He uses a unique shape/outfit based on jedimembrain's the Wookie 2.0

The download includes his skin, outfit (available for all categories), beard, hair, along with his basic eyes (blush), glow-in-the-dark eyes, antennae, two teeth, and wings (glasses).

You know what? I'm curious on who your most obscure blorbos are! I'm talking someone that you have to REALLY scrape for content of

Mine's Emperor Xizzle from the Sims 2 DS! He's sooo 💚✨️💙

You would THINK he'd have a little something since he's from such a major franchise, but he barely gets any love :(

Maybe if they LET YOUR SIM DATE HIM he'd be more popular smh

Annie Howell - The Sims 2 (PSP)

I finally got around to play this dorky obscure game and LORD I’m in love. It also got me out of my bi-monthly art block, which is neat.

I aced my state exams by the way!

also, sorry, but imagine being EA right now. A sports team used a 20 year old game to advertise and not your current product. Like this wasn't endorsed or affiliated by EA if you look at the small text at the start of the video. That's so fucking humiliating for EA.

Like the LA Chargers literally said The Sims 4 fucking sucks.
