06. keep doing what you’re doing, anon :) just buy them from a reseller like cdkeys and not ea (or pirate)
07. same. but i was like very confused.

1. The weird shoe/sock/boot/what the fuck ever those things are, looks like someone's pants bunched up at their feet because they're on the toilet.
2. Maybe, but who cares? Go for it, it's your game, have fun with it. There aren't any rules. Personally I don't even think it's that weird, especially when you put it in the scheme of what people sometimes do in the game.
6. To be honest, I feel like most of the time that phrase is used, it's someone justifying doing whatever they want.
10. This is true. The worlds truly are shallow and are just aesthetics.
15. Wow, that takes me back.

I agree with you on 6, because living in a capitalist society doesn't mean you can't act in good interest. It feels like people care way more about buying overpriced crap for digital people over real people's lives, then say this to not feel guilty...

[(Anonymous)]

I wonder what will happen when we reach Secrets Post 1000?

the world is gonna end before we get to that point

rawbeautykristi looks like a fucking thumb

[(Anonymous)]

You're not wrong, but I do too, to be honest. 🤷 Some of us just don't have a nice neck/jaw. I lost weight and it improved, but it's always going to be kind of thumb-like. Anyway I don't know much about her except I read a thing about how she had really bad postpartum anxiety and posted a hysterical video about how she used, like, decorative wallpaper in her son's room, and it smelled funny, and she utterly flipped out about how she might have exposed him to chemicals that will cause him to develop cancer someday. And she said when her husband, who works from home, went outside to mow the lawn, she took her son and sat in the car watching her husband so she wasn't separated from him. After I saw that I just felt bad for her because she clearly wasn't doing well mentally.

this is not my video

so don't even start with that bullshit

i'm too lazy to ever film and edit anything lmfao

but this is a nice little 4 minute video of sims in ts3 going about their evening, it's peaceful, i actually really enjoyed watching it

It was nice cept for the garish wallpaper

Summarized.

[summary_anon]

1. [3 posed Sims made by Seoulsoul? milkemie?]: "oh my god how did this girl get so popular? all her sims are mid, espec the toddler"
2. "is it weird if I make my oc and my self insert have sex, get married, and have kids in the sims??"
3. [SimSecret]: "It's so quiet here 🪦"
4. "WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS FUCKING BUILDING ON TWITCH STREAMS?!!? NO ONE EVER PLAYS THE FUCKING GAME, IT'S CONSTANT MIND MELTINGLY BORING BUILD STREAMS!"
5. [Elderflower by Trillyke 4 to 3 conversion by kotajose]: "Is it just me or has she fallen off? Because wtf is this?? Her stuff used to be good. What happened? Am I crazy or does this look like shit?"
6. "There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, therefore I consume whatever the fuck I want. I will continue to buy Sims packs even after the buyout. I don't care."
7. "One of my first introductions to the sims was watching a TS2 Machinima that involved a woman cooking and eating her baby.
I was about 8 at the time."
8. "I created a poor family consisting dad, mom, and 6 children. They live in a small, messy, and grody house in Oasis Spring. And they keep reproducing as their children become adults and start their own families. It's like the biggest clan in the game."
9. [The Sims 3 Store showing that all items are owned]: "I'm just a little obsessed."
10. [a comment from someone from New Zealand talking about how the world in Adventure Awaits is based on NZ but is shallow and not very accurate]: "This applies to literally every world, though. I don't know why people fuss so hard about wanting their country/region in the game, because even when they DO add a world based on your area, it's not very authentic and it doesn't really feel like anything different from the base game worlds. It's all shallow and meaningless."
11. "I only play like a psychopath. I try to kill everyone in town, trap and kill a Santa every night, trap people in a basement and make them paint. I've been playing since sims 1 and have never played it in a normal way (I'm a good person IRL!)"
12. [Sims 1 Mortimer Goth]: "raw. next question"
13. "I watched my mum play sims when I was like 4 and I've played it ever since. Still remember all the sims families I've made over the years as if they're my own fond memories 🥺"
14. "OMG IS THIS FREEZER BUNNY FROM THE OFFICIAL SIMS TWITCH STORY MADE BY AI??????"
15. [a TS3 Sim holding a laptop up and showing something on it to another Sim]: "this image evokes so many emotions....."
16. "from somebody who knows nothing about the drama:
some of glorianasims' cc hair was cute. but it all was poorly made. had way too many files and most if not all of them weren't even binned properly.
just plain lazy. were people really paying for cc like that?"
17. "I wish you would quit calling yourself a Sims streamer when you only play it when a new pack comes out. You even skip the kits now and only play when there's an expansion. Otherwise you're playing all these other random games no one cares about. That's why your viewer numbers have tanked."

Re: Summarized.

[(Anonymous)]

Regarding the first secret, the Sims in the thumbnail are milkemie's. Seoulsoul mainly uses Alpha CC. Milkemie is Maxis Mix.

[(Anonymous)]

reminder that satch is ugly and fat!

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks i almost forgot

Rabies shot

[calmcil]

Getting the first of the boosters tomorrow. Also gonna talk to the nurse about the chest pain, numbness and fever I had after the first 5 shots they gave me back on Wednesday. I have no idea what's normal side effects and what's not with this since its' a fucking rabies vaccine.

Re: Rabies shot

[(Anonymous)]

I hope it goes well! 🫂

[(Anonymous)]

1. Why don't people call her out for her obsession with Asian men?

[(Anonymous)]

cuz they're too busy asking what cc she uses

[(Anonymous)]

I like it when vampishly links their spreadsheets to someone's WCIF and then someone else replies to OP with specific CC or mods and OP thanks them instead of vampishly lol

[(Anonymous)]

Is vampishly the lowfunctioning autist with purple as a special interest?

[(Anonymous)]

6. Imagine paying for sims when analdius exists, this gotta be bait

[(Anonymous)]

What worse is 9. Imagine paying for Sims 3 Store content and buying all of it. People like that should not be allowed to vote or have credit cards.

[(Anonymous)]

003. I'm having a health problem. Some of you should have picked up the commenting job. Things are pretty slow this time irl and I'm in severe pain bitches, so pick up the slack.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think her stuff has gotten worse, I think she's just converting worse clothing. Again, picking up from the thread in last week's secrets, Sims 4 conversions in Sims 3 LOOK AWFUL!

Re: 5

[(Anonymous)]

Ngl I thought this secret was about Trillyke (the original creator) at first. Her textures have definitely gotten worse, they have such strong contrast and don't look very "maxis match" anymore. The clothes also look like no one would wear them irl.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm thinking of uninstalling the EA app version of the sims 3 and starting to use the Steam version (it should be noted that I have both versions in my possession because years ago I bought the sims 3 on Steam and some DLC and then I registered the game codes on the sims 3 website to have them on origin back then) or I'm also considering installing the fitgirl version, I don't know...

[calmcil]

I think the fitgirl version is more compatible with CAW cause the game doesn't really register the steam install version without going into the registry and editing some files. While aren't the pirated versions based off of the disks?

[(Anonymous)]

There's a huge dumpster fire burning in the simmer community and no one on simsrcret is talking about it :(

(And this has to do with the sims and not off-topic topics like Taylor Swift, Twitter spam, fat fetish art, Charlotte, TARTa de fresa, Cindy, excessive random purchases, porn in the form of catbox links that have nothing to do with the sims, Pete Davidson, and some other things that I'm forgetting)

[(Anonymous)]

Ok, well, then YOU talk about it, make a comment about it instead of complaining that other people aren’t? And maybe you’ll get replies.

[(Anonymous)]

Do you agree or disagree?

https://www.reddit.com/r/HighSodiumSims/comments/1o9p7n6/i_feel_like_a_lot_of_communitymade_female_sims/

I feel like a lot of community-made female Sims (and now Zois) are insanely 'pornified', and it says something about our view of women and girls

99% of all "look at my female Sim" posts on the Sims subreddit, and now the Inzoi subreddit, feature the exact same female Sim - always with the same cartoonishly huge glossy lips, a full face of the same hyper feminine makeup, and the same blank, lazy expression. Where have we seen this specific aesthetic before? Oh right, in pornography.

From the makeup down to the blank, lazy expression, I cannot tell the difference between 99% of female Sims and a straight man's blow-up doll

. It's the aesthetics of hyperfemininity, which is a fake ideal perpetuated in our visual culture. This aesthetic is a social pressure placed on ALL women and girls in our society.

And then people will post their "diverse" range of female Sims, and it's THE EXACT SAME FACE in different shades. There's no escape from this specific aesthetic - all women must conform. And whenever someone questions this in the Sims subreddit, they'll get the same responses:

"Don't tell others how to make their female Sims!!!"

Of course! Everyone's entitled to make the female Sims of their imagination - but why do women always look like this in our imagination? I feel like we, as a community that calls itself progressive and feminist, should be allowed to talk about where this comes from.

"Some women have naturally big lips!!!"

There is no inherent problem with big lips! I also have naturally large lips, and this in and of itself has nothing to do with porn or the aesthetics of hyperfemininity. However, huge lips has now become an expectation that is placed on ALL women in society as a beauty ideal. The fact that ALL your female Sims - not just a few of them, but ALL of them - have these lips tells us something about what we, in society, expect from ALL women.

Even community-made female CHILDREN in the Sims/Inzoi community have the same aesthetic. CHILDREN covered in seven tonnes of makeup.

We should be allowed to question patterns. Questioning patterns doesn't mean I'm saying huge lips are inherently a problem (again - I have them) or that I'm calling out any specific one person. It's about patterns.

"Some women find this aesthetic empowering!!!"

Ok, and? This doesn't mean that it IS empowering. Feminists have always said that conforming to patriarchal beauty standards DOES make women feel empowered - but this doesn't mean they ARE empowered. Oppressive ideologies always do this - they make people feel like conforming to their ideals is empowerment. The unjust system rewards conformity, and makes people feel empowered by conforming.

Listen, I know that no one has an obligation to be a critical feminist all the time, and that people should be allowed to make the Sims they want to. It's just odd when the Sims community prides itself on being progressive and feminist, yet their view of women is the most narrow and patriarchal I've ever seen outside of pornography.

It's no wonder that there's an epidemic of body imagine issues among girls, if even in the Sims community, "progressive and feminist", all female Sims conform to this aesthetic - with body and face proportions that are unrealistic for 99% of women. It's no wonder I'm seeing 9 year old girls buying tonnes of makeup in Sephora, and 18 year old women on TikTok getting tonnes of plastic surgery. What are we doing here?

I'm saying that the pattern represents something, and we should be allowed to talk about the pattern, especially if we call our community progressive and feminist.

Rant over.

7. It's crazy to me that Baby-Q used to be like the height of sims controversy. People got into knock down drag outs over this shit.
17. I hate sim influencers the most but I'm sort of addicted to all the drama they've been having since the buy-out.

[(Anonymous)]

17 I genuinely hope the buyout goes through, the drama has been hilarious AND people can finally show that their money is where their mouth is by not supporting EA's shitty practices anymore. Nothing would bring me more joy than most of the Sims community finally standing up saying "we've had enough of your bullshit, we choose to no longer buy your crap!"

But alas we all know that's not going to happen. Watch and see the next kit or whatever gets released and people will rush to buy it instantly because they don't want to miss out on it and none of them will remember any controversy anymore because "oooh it's a new shiny thing!" Which is hilarious since it's not like any of the items are limited or getting removed after a while so you aren't actually missing out on anything even if you don't buy it.

the obsession people have with milkemie really weirds me out, i think people just really like that fifty-shades-of-beige yesstyle fashion victim aesthetic and how consistent her content is, and the fact that she sticks to her formula without ever deviating. her sims are mid & so is the storytelling but it's never rly unpleasant to look at. also there’s a lot of black women who are super fixated on black female/asian male couples. i think there's a lot of crossover between her audience and the kind of people who obsess over washed-up "my life in japan" jvloggers whose lives are a mess lmao. add a super generic wattpadesque wish-fulfillment dynamic - UwU fluffy couple with hints of a troubled past- and i guess it's a recipe for success. her main sims dress and look like 18 year old NYU students with more money than sense & it's hilariously boring that they are supposed to be 21 with kids already & one of them works in tech

I can't believe this asthetic is still popular (sorry not paying attention to s4 simblr for years). To me it's very 2015
