I was 11 when I got into The Sims and it didn’t cater or market to children at ALL😅 I think they really overthink the concept of trying to appeal to younger generations these days.
TW // pedophilia & child abuse
It was brought to my attention yesterday that there are mods being made for The Sims 4 that include pedophilia and the ability to sexually assault children & toddlers. This is absolutely vile & we need to talk about it. -
You know what I really wish we could do? Play a neighborhood in the Sims 4 without having to make a Sim first. Unless I’m absolutely missing something lol it frustrates me so much.
I can’t stand when people shut down the sims 2 just because it’s “old”. You’re genuinely missing out on one of the most chaotic, hilarious, and sometimes even heartwarming games in the entire franchise. The modding community is also very alive & has made some amazing things!
Whatever happens with the Sims 5, I just want it to be BRIGHT. I want the lighting to be amazing and not need to add 100 debug lights to every room or feel like I NEED reshade please🥲
Is it just me or does the EA team seem so much more excited about this pack than HSY?😅 it seems like the more active & hyped they are online, the better the pack is typically. It’s making me hopeful👀
I’ve said it a million times but why the hell doesn’t Origin just sell The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection already? They’re literally losing out on so much money by not doing this. People ask me all the time how to get Sims 2 & I’m just like 🤷🏻♀️
I don’t wanna speak too much before we know anything. But if Sims 5 ends up being an online subscription service, I’ll probably have to step away at that point.
I can feel myself losing my love for a game that used to inspire me & that just really sucks😔
I just remembered that the Sims team mentioned body hair being added in a future update…
What if it’s in preparation for a high school pack since teens are typically hitting puberty?? It would make a LOT of sense👀
Sims 5 should just be a remake of the Sims 2. Give me a wants & fears system! Give me overdramatic Sim reactions! Let my Sims automatically slap the living 💩 out of someone who cheated on them! I would seriously throw my money at EA so damn fast.
I think really one of my biggest issues with Sims 4, is I'm almost never attached to the Sims themselves. Their personalities just aren't as in-depth as past games & the extra systems with memory/attraction/fears, etc. made them feel more "real".
Sims 4 is being held together with duct tape & good thoughts at this point. I just think 10 years is TOO long for any game to be going & that these issues are just going to pile up more from here on out. A foundation built in 2014 cannot withstand 70+ dlc 10 years later.
Truly the saddest thing in the world is when people deliberately choose not to have children. The most wonderful, fulfilling, sanctifying thing is having a baby with your spouse. Have lots of babies.
I’ve been so quiet about the Sims 4 lately. But I’m honestly so done. I just read through the trait updates & can’t help but wonder if the traits did ANYTHING before?? And this trait update? How did they not stop and think this was problematic? Do better is an understatement.
“They’re just pixels”. They are pixels built to depict reality. If someone finds joy by sexually abusing a child even in a game, that is disturbing on so many levels. It’s not just a game at that point. That person needs to get help. Do NOT defend this shit, I beg of you. -
Let’s all just calm the hell down!👀 I don’t believe that another simulation game coming out is going to END the Sims franchise lol But I truly believe that some competition for simulation games is a good thing! Play whatever game you wanna play. It doesn’t have to be a war🤣
I’ll never understand why people are so against pronouns being added in Sims 4. You use pronouns every single day. You just want an excuse to be mad and homophobic.
It’s hard when Sims 4 isn’t being targeted towards your demographic/generation. A lot of things aren’t my personal taste or preference but I get they’re trying to evolve the game, make it more appealing to a younger generation. Just don’t forget about us oldies too, okay? 😆
Pedophilia is incredibly present in the Sims community. It can be hard to imagine so many grotesque people hiding in plain sight especially when the community surrounds a game that brings you so much joy. But this is a disgusting reality. You never truly know who is on the other-
Side of a tweet, a chat message, anything. The fact that people are actually modding this abuse into the Sims is very telling of their true nature. Don’t let anyone defend this to you. “It’s a life simulation game.” Exactly. Simulating abuse to a child is sick. I don’t care if -
It’s time again for this serotonin boost. I can’t express in words the happiness & nostalgia this picture gives me. Even if you’re not into the holidays, this is just so wholesome🤍
Honestly, I truly feel that with Seasons, a lot of the other packs just make so much more sense now. Backyard stuff with summer is amazing. Having spooky stuff in fall will be epic. Everything feels so much more complete & I'm genuinely so happy over this 💕
Black Lives Matter is NOT a political issue. It’s a BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE. How can you truly believe that caring about human life is nothing more than a political stance??
Calling homophobia an anxiety disorder is so incredibly insulting to someone who genuinely has an anxiety disorder. Don’t use my mental health to validate your bigotry.
I cannot stand when people load up a fresh install of Sims 2, leave black boxes as shadows, don’t bother even adjusting the resolution, and immediately complain how ugly the game is.
It’s from 2000-freaking-4. She needs a little tlc, but Sims 2 can be beautiful👌🏻
The Sims opinion that gets you like this - anything goes edition*
*please, be respectful - even if you share your strong opinion and disagree with each other, there is no need to attack the other person.
Friends, I have a WONDERFUL secret I’ve been keeping since Father’s Day💞 little Baby Winxie will be joining our family in March 2022!! It has been a VERY emotional journey & I’m so beyond grateful & my heart is so full☺️ everyone that kept my secret, ily & you’re a real one😂💗
I don’t know how anyone can look at these pictures & feel anything but compassion. The way she was ridiculed & mocked at a time when she needed help & support is honestly appalling. She didn’t deserve any of this.

Honestly I feel like recycling animations isn’t Sims 4’s biggest problem. I need details that make Sims themselves feel unique. In Sims 2, shy Sims look down at the ground a lot. Outgoing Sims do finger guns at every sim they walk past 😂 they have specific interests & dislikes.
As someone who has deliberately murdered sims in a fire and built walls around their swimming pools until they drowned, I promise not to think less of you for…..evicting sims😅
Please stop questioning people about why they didn’t come forward about their sexual assault sooner. Sometimes it can take YEARS to genuinely realize that it was indeed assault. I speak from experience. When I was 20, someone drunkenly hugged me & proceeded to squeeze my ass -
Baby Winxie came on Feb 19th at 7:47pm, a lil peanut weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces💖 she’s so perfect. I got to hold her as soon as she was born which was a huge healing experience for both me & her dad🥺 Thank you all so much for the kind thoughts and prayers during my pregnancy!!
I PROMISE you that you don’t need to tell a streamer that you’re leaving their stream to go watch someone else's.....It makes them feel unentertaining & insecure & can really affect their overall mood for the rest of the stream 😕
Example: Sims 2 didn't have specific traits. But the personality points made them act in different ways. A sloppy sim licks plates clean & lazy sims would even stand hunched. Outgoing sims do finger guns as they walk by people 😂grouchy sims get PISSED if they lose a game, etc.
I think really one of my biggest issues with Sims 4, is I'm almost never attached to the Sims themselves. Their personalities just aren't as in-depth as past games & the extra systems with memory/attraction/fears, etc. made them feel more "real".
If they do decide to make a vacation pack, PLEASE give us some kind of Bon Voyage style with a hotel system & tropical world with beaches! It would also be a good opportunity to add in more pool activities (floaties, water slides, pool bars, etc) 🏝🐠
YouTube just made it 10x harder for smaller channels to become partnered & grow. Twitch created a whole affiliate program to help support smaller streamers. Spot the difference??
You cannot support Trump & also claim to love those who are in the LGBTQ+ community. You can try to say that Trump isn’t anti-LGBTQ but the history & facts don’t lie👇🏻
Maybe unpopular opinion so get out the pitchforks. I think putting Sims 4 in an alternate universe was an awful idea. Building up the lore for characters for 3 games in a row just to take it all away in the 4th game was a mistake IMO. I’m not attached & they feel like strangers.
For everyone who is wondering, NO. The creator of Wicked Whims did NOT make this! The actual person behind it is trying to say it’s an add-on to Wicked Whims. Here’s a tweet with more info on the people involved:
Listen, if you’re upset about the Muslim items coming to the Sims 4, I have something really important to say.
Unfollow & block me. Saves me the time & energy to do it myself 💗
Okay so having negative opinions on Sims 4 is perfectly FINE. It's OKAY. I myself have had some. What's NOT okay is being rude & disrespectful to the gurus. They take time to communicate with us & when you're nasty to them, you just kinda look like a jerk tbh 🤷🏻♀️
I don't understand why people are mad that the gurus are saying not to get too hyped about the live stream. Would you rather they lie to us & get our hopes up? I appreciate their honesty! We JUST got Seasons barely a month ago. I'm still riding on the hype train for that pack 😂
Cancel culture is UGLY. No one is perfect. To keep bringing up a mistake from years ago that someone OWNED UP TO & never repeated says way more about you than them. They’re trying to better themself as a person. We should all try to do the same mkay?
I get it if the Hates Children trait update doesn’t personally impact you in an emotional way. However, I can’t say the same for myself. It honestly did trigger me. And I don’t want that for others. I’m sorry if you see me as “negative” now or a hater. But I do not care.
I’ve never in my life met a girl who only purchased a laptop based on its color. Why are girls depicted as shallow & stupid compared to the all-knowing, superior man bro😒
If one more person calls me “sensitive” as an insult, I swear..
I’m sick of sensitive being an insult. I AM sensitive! I’m an empathic human being who feels others’ emotions & if anything, it’s a STRENGTH.
Report the hell out of this if possible. If you click on the mod links, it takes you to a page where you need to have an account to view them. Please be warned that these are some seriously repulsive mods. Just reading the descriptions made me nauseous.
@JamesTurnerYT
This isn't so much a glitch as it is an annoyance but building a community lot and wanting to have food stalls, but they aren't being automatically tended to when playing the lot. It always just says "hire vendor" and your Sim has to pay just to use the food stall!
Happy Pride! 🌈 I took my son out to lunch today & we sat right next to an adorable lesbian couple & the best part? My son looked at them, smiled, and didn't even think twice about it. A reminder that homophobia, racism, or any discrimination of any kind is TAUGHT.
Emotions are crazy high right now and rightfully so...but please be careful with how you group all Game Changers together. Most of us had no idea what was going on and do not condone the behavior. One individual's actions shouldn't reflect the entire program. That's all.
Just a reminder that Sims 2 was an epic game and even that had an H&M themed stuff pack. Sims 3 had Diesel stuff. This really isn’t a new thing & shouldn’t be hated on imo.
And that is that on THAT. Absolutely DONE having this conversation. From now on, any comments like these will result in a permanent ban from ever commenting on my channel again. Quite honestly, I don't have the time or the patience 🤷🏻♀️
Generations didn’t and look how much life they poured into that pack. I miss those days! Still haven’t played Growing Together yet but I can see that the world fell flat.
THIS! I’ve been feeling this way for a while now. We shouldn’t be called Game Changers. We don’t actually influence the game. I understand the marketing tactic but there should be more to it.
YouTube: "Your video isn't suitable for advertisers because it has two sims kissing in the thumbnail"
Also YouTube: *promotes the hell out of 50 Shades in every single ad on every single video*
Makes sense.
I feel like Sims 4 feels too easy? Idk if that's the right word. Like I LOVED going clothes shopping in Sims 2 & grocery shopping in 2 & 3. You don't NEED to do any of that in Sims 4. I miss the annoying notifications in Sims 2 letting me know the fridge was empty 🙃
A nurse just called to tell me my husband is in the ER. I’m waiting for my mom to come watch the baby so I can go be with him and I’m freaking out please pray or keep a positive thought or something please.
My baby just told me that he asked kids in his class to be friends and they said “we already have friends” and now he’s super sad and I want to cry. Teach your kids to be kind and welcoming please cause this is heartbreaking.
If you’re a Star Wars fan, I’m happy for you. But you gotta understand from the point of view of someone who has NEVER seen & has no desire to see Star Wars...this is literally the most disappointing thing 😂
The wants & fears system sucks & is the biggest reason why I will never fully enjoy Sims 4. I truly believe if that system was more akin to Sims 2/3, it would change drastically for me.
As a victim of many different forms of abuse, I can say that EA is not “abusing” its customers. It’s a game company. Get mad about actual abuse going on in the world. All I’m going to say about this. Ridiculous.
