I’ve made multiple blog posts about The Sims 3 because that’s what I play most, and I have one about The Sims 1, and something interesting I’ve noticed is that each iteration of the game has its own unique flavor of weirdness.
I’ll be honest, I’ve become so disappointed in The Sims 4 (not that I ever loved it, but I gave it a chance) that I almost didn’t want to do this post, because this sort of gives it more promotion. But there have still been some things I’ve found or that have happened while playing that have made me laugh, and it seemed a waste not to share them.
So here are some of the weird and funny things that have happened in my Sims 4 games!
Shout Flirting
Ok so it's cool that sims in TS4 can carry on convos while doing things, from further distances, in groups, etc., but it's weird when 1/

two sims are flirting or trying to have private interactions while they're across the room from each other w/ people in between them. 2/2

Oops my sim made another sim feel uncomfortable. Prob cuz he had to shout flirt over the other people.

I'd prob feel uncomfortable too if someone I just met was shouting compliments at me from seven feet away.

Multitasking Gone Wrong (or Right?)
My sim was on the toilet. I told her to call a friend, thinking she'd call after she finished using the toilet. Nope. I think the multitasking works a little too well in TS4 sometimes lol.

My sim is literally playing on his tablet while also watching TV. This is getting too realistic. #TS4

Art Heist
My sim did the "propose crazy scheme" interaction, and I'm pretty sure she just suggested an art heist using ants to tunnel up through the ground since her speech bubbles were a statue, a red ant, and money 😂

Proved Me Wrong
I was just about to tweet about how sims in TS4 are so rude cuz they come over and all they wanna do is use my sim's computer, but then another sim came over and literally took out my sim's trash for him, so I guess they're not all bad lol.

Awkward
My sim is on a first date. This other sim he's kinda been seeing but not officially happens to be at the bar they're at. That sim literally just came over, sat down, and joined them at their table. 😂 #TS4 #drama

…OK?
Why was this one of my loading screen factoids? Is The Sims 4 feeling ok? 😅 pic.twitter.com/mqEdR6FBjm

(I looked it up, and it turns out this was from a promotional pop-up thing, and one of the choices was, “OK,” but I guess somehow it glitched and turned into a loading screen, and the team just decided to leave it? I’ll admit I’m glad they did, I like the ominous strangeness of it when you first see it without knowing.)
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere
My sim was drinking, and I told him to have another drink, but instead of waiting, he now has a drink in each hand. 😂🥂

(This is the one in the featured image. Yes, he was also naked at the time lol.)
The Secret Kinky Side of the Bjergsens
Honestly, the Wicked Whims mod makes The Sims 4 so much more interesting. My sim was dumpster diving, and this really prim and proper-looking couple showed up to have sex in the abandoned building on the trash lot at 3 in the morning. 😂

I like it how you tell them to do something and they immediately oblige 😂. Also, the shout-flirting…and the trash can LOL. And the Simception! 😂
Why are you disappointed in the game on the whole though?
They oblige a little too immediately sometimes!
You don’t wanna open that can of worms lol. I could talk about that for an hour. Basically it boils down to crappy gameplay, giving very little content for what it costs, and the way it feels like every game is the same and every sim I play is in The Truman Show with everything just weirdly revolving around them instead of feeling like an organic world my sim is a part of. Those are my reasons. I know a lot of simmers are disappointed and upset with the game for their own reasons too, like how a lot of the packs don’t even work right.
It sounds like a mess 👀.
Yeah, it is.
I don’t play the game but that is funny. I’ve watched people playing Sims on Youtube so I at least know what it is.
It can be such a wacky game lol.
sim Inception lol
These things always amuse me for some reason.

The Sims wouldn’t be The Sims if it didn’t have some amusing purposeful and accidental things lol.
