What if Barbie lived in Simworld?
Hate me all you want. I just saw the Barbie trailer and now I want a Barbie/Sims tie-in. I know some people still have PTSD from Sweet Treats 10 years ago, but it would be SO MUCH FUN!!!

- Actually, Barbie kind of makes sense in the Sims. I view the sims as a virtual dollhouse for teens and adults. So it's basically unlicensed Barbie.
That being said, I don't think I would like a Mattel/EA collab. What would a pack like that consist of? Would it be a kit, stuff pack, game pack? - Deligracy made a couple of Barbie houses that are on the gallery & I *think* she did a Barbie let's play. I'm also fairly sure there are Barbie households on the gallery.
- I got my very first Barbie in I believe 1961. Yeah, she had the painted eye lashes that at least had some depth to them. I believe, if memory serves, she came wearing a black and white stripped one-piece swimsuit. She had a friend named Midge which I never got, but I did get her younger sister, Stacie? and her cousin, Francie. I have toyed with creating another household for my game. Ken and Barbie Doll. LOL
I don't think you need a tie-in per se. Just use copious amounts of that rather sickening Barbie Pink color on just about everything and voila you got it. You could also build the Barbie Dream House for them to live in. (Just don't forget that pink paint.) Sorry, I know some really love the color pink, I just have never embraced it. I was on the side of Merryweather, when it came to the color of Sleeping Beauty's dress. I love blue. Just always have.
I've heard of a trailer but haven't seen it yet. Is it animated or do they use the dolls for such? Curious. I played Barbies for many years, which is possibly responsible for my immense attraction to the Sims. "GalacticGal;c-18253949" wrote:

It's live action. Very self-aware and aimed at teen+ audiences rather than children. And yes, the Sims4 already has a lot of bubblegum pink clothing, so it would be easy to make a DIY Barbieworld.- I made a barbie a while back, let me see if I can find her ;)
Edit to add: Found her :)
I made a Barbie and she is off to highschool. I need to keep myself busy until our little infants arrive LOL
She is cc free
This is Barbie Sim <3

Lets hope she copes in Highschool ;) - LOL. I was curious so went to YouTube to watch the trailer. OMG. Pink. Haha.
I never had a Barbie as a kid, but I actually want to watch that movie now. Can't believe I admitted that in public :D
I may have to return to YT again and seek out simming Barbies. I blame it on my bad cold; I'm currently stuck bored in bed and my head is too fuzzy to think sensible thoughts. I'm sure in normal circumstances I would not be interested in pink sim houses etc... - I think it would be lovely to have some Barbie inspired fashion and hairstyles. Could also be a good reason to give us some pretty vintage dresses and hair styles, and especially really long fabulous hair. The black and white striped swimsuit looked lovely in the Barbie trailer even though it doesn't look that great in most pictures online of vintage Barbies. Then there are also the glamour dresses. There is so much choice it really doesn't have to be a repeat of the Sweet Treats disregard for good taste.Spoiler

I guess they could do Barbie style kit but I'm definitely not the target audience :sweat_smile:
I do think the decades outfits would be fun tbh now that I look at post above
but its just so funny to me because to me it was always like TS1 saved me from those horrifying Barbies I hated :lol:"SweetieWright_84;c-18253946" wrote:

Why was reading that line immediately making me think of this...
