A little peak behind the curtain, I wrote this post months ago and then never got around to posting it and now haven’t played The Sims 3 a while. Anyway, I’m just gonna leave what I wrote. It was nice, and I’m honestly too tired right now to try and rewrite it.
***
I will get to the funny below, but first, a moment for some Sims feels.
I’ve been playing a lot lately with my oldest Sims 3 couple. I think I’ve been playing with them intermittently for about ten years now. Lina was the first sim I created when I got the Sims 3 myself, and Judd is the man she married. She was an acrobat, and he was the proprietor at a venue she auditioned at and then became a singer. This was during a low point in my life when I was newly housebound from chronic illness and feeling incredibly alone. But these sims gave me a way to live through them (especially as I had wanted to be a Cirque-style circus performer myself) and brought me some joy and distraction when I had little else. They are my comfort sims.
I hadn’t played with them for years because the world they were most recently living in (Isla Paradiso) lags too much on my current computer, but I missed them, so I finally just moved them somewhere else. They’re not supernaturals, there’s nothing inherently unusual about them (other than the fact that they’re rich and famous), but I love them! And it turns out they’re a lot more chaotic and ungovernable than I remembered. Perhaps I’ve been playing with them for so long that they’ve become sentient and tired of my shit. Of all my sims, they sort of do feel the most sentient, so maybe there’s something to that…
Anyway, all this to say, I do have a few random things, but many of today’s tweets are about them, so hopefully you all will love them too!
Liar Liar
There was sim outside my sims' house whose ass was literally on fire. My sim had to go spray her with a fire extinguisher. pic.twitter.com/SwwGPVjh1T

Just Sims Feels
I just want everyone to see how cute my sims' color coordinated outfits are, and also this epic performance photo ☺️ #TheSims3 pic.twitter.com/HxXUlsWIYc

Chaos Couple
My sim is hungry and standing in the middle of her kitchen, so does she grab a quick meal from the fridge? Cook something up? No, she takes a bottle of honey out of her pocket and drinks it. #TheSims3

One sim is drinking honey. I finally get her to make food. Husband wanders off to have wine just as food is ready. He's turns on the TV in a diff room. She finishes the meal before he gets back, wants to go swimming at 11 pm. I didn't know two Sims could be so chaotic. #TheSims3

Priorities
I used to start every Sims game by buying an empty lot and building a rectangle house with no interior walls, and well, here’s an example.
I wanted to share a screenshot, and this was the only one I found of her first house, and there is so much to unpack here. Mostly I love that I considered getting a hot tub and bar a higher priority than bathroom walls. ? pic.twitter.com/qY6YSqFkEL

Also there’s a deer in the house. That is not even supposed to happen in this game lol.
Inappropriate Flirter
Some guy just tried to flirt with my sim while her husband stood two feet away watching. Her face is just, "Are you kidding me, dude?"
Also: the face her husband made after she told off the inappropriate flirter ☺️ #TheSims3 pic.twitter.com/1IOfCniCXL

(The crop focused on Lina in both, but you can see his face in the next tweet.)
Ice Cream is Love
One of my favorite things about #TheSims3 is how sometimes sims will just look at their romantic partner with love and adoration. Unprompted, not part of any interaction. Just feels ❤️ pic.twitter.com/OQObVKODRA

And then there's this sim ???? pic.twitter.com/9eRsbnQp0i

Normal Things to Do in Fields
Also there appears to be some sort of cult meeting/demon summoning going on in the field next to my vampire's house. Idk what's happening. Why are a bunch of people just standing in this strange formation at one in the morning? pic.twitter.com/Sgl5GBEi3P

Twinbrook Appreciation
Not weird, just some pretty pictures.
I've always ignored Twinbrook in #TheSims3 because it seemed so plain, but I started a game there, and my gosh, it's beautiful. (Just disregard my sim catching bugs in her underwear in the rain lol.) pic.twitter.com/ADD0cBHZOL

*Looking Disrespectfully*
The Sims 3 team did not have to go this hard on these pants, but they did, and I appreciate them for it. ?✨ #TheSims3 pic.twitter.com/VWHqY9IDYp

“Perhaps I’ve been playing with them for so long that they’ve become sentient and tired of my shit. Of all my sims, they sort of do feel the most sentient, so maybe there’s something to that…”
LOL. The pants-on-fire one was spectacular haha. I remember some of these…especially the Sim looking at his icecream with longing :D.
Glad you’ve been able to live vicariously through your Sims at least <3.
The ass fire was so ridiculous, haha. Especially because she was next to a pool. But I had no control over her, could only send one of my sims out to save her. I do remember us laughing about the ice cream!
If I could drink honey, I would too! ???? Instead I pour it in vanilla yogurt, stir and enjoy!
These definitely gave me a chuckle over my morning cuppa. ☕️
Thank you!
Okay, not sure why the happy face turned into question marks lol
My blog started doing that to most emojis recently, idk why *cries*
I do also love honey, so I guess I admire her willingness to just drink a whole bottle, haha. Glad I could bring some joy!
For someone who’s has never played this game, it seems so random and weird! I think I would like it????
I can’t imagine what The Sims must seem like to people who’ve never played and have only seen memes and posts like this, haha.
Hahaha, Sims are awesome. I need it to be winter so I can play. We don’t have air conditioning in the house, so I can’t play in summer. The computer crashes when it gets hot. 🙁
Oh no, that sucks about the computer getting too hot! It’s almost September, maybe you’ll get to play soon!
Just WHAT at the fire butt ???? how did it caught fire anyway? Ahaha and gotta love the deer randomly crossing the house ???? — love the idea though!
My blog changes emojis to question marks now, so I’ll guess those were supposed to be laughter lol. I think it was literally the sun that made her burst into flames, haha. She looks sunburned.
The honey one cracked me up. I don’t know how you go about convincing your SIMS to eat actual food when they’re hungry, but at least this is an entertaining alternative!
Literally in her kitchen! You just click on the fridge or whatever and tell them what to do, but they make interesting decisions when left to their own devices lol.
You know, reading this- what if they COULD become sentient? Like in Toy Story, where they come alive when no one’s looking. Or if we could enter the sIM world through our computer…like in an alternate universe out there, they ARE alive lol.
Anyway I’m always amazed at how so many just random or batshit things can happen in this game!
The Sims world would be such a weird one to live in lol.
There’s a lot of normal stuff I don’t show, but there really is so much wild stuff that happens, haha.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen your original sims, or maybe the newer ones stick out in my mind more.
I love all of them and their antics though!
I’ve never really talked about them before, but they’re great lol.
Haha ohh myy, there’re so many things that have happened while playing Sims, mostly the 4th game tho but still hilarious, yes!
The Sims is always full of wacky stuff 😁
