I've never noticed this before but I just had my sim in city living and I noticed that outside the playable area there's "sims" walking around. Then when I zoomed in they aren't actually sims they're fake low poly sims, here's some screenshotshttps://i.imgur.com/hneHpww.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/5CzHMad.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/qqPgQje.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/NRbRS7a.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/xQyagIO.pngThought this was a fun detail, I've never seen these around before!

I never noticed! I'm definitely going to be on the look out for them now!

They change their clothes in the winter and even use umbrellas when it's raining :lol:

Background characters from CL. I personally do not mind them to be very low poly, as you really do not see them clearly in regular gameplay, if not zooming to them in purpose. I can only imagine the lag at some computers if those indeed would be high poly and game would have to render all the details for them all the time you play. :)

Those 'Sims' look exactly like the audience you can fill in for your singer Sim from Sacrificial's Road to Fame mod. I've never seen any of them walking around my town, however. So very strange. Have you considered an Exorcist?

Why did they even add these if we can’t really see them?

It's just to make the city look busy. You see them from a distance and it makes it look like there's loads of people walking around

I've noticed them before and tbh I feel like they should actually have more of these fake Sims in other worlds, especially in the commercial districts to simulate a busier area.

Deleted because someone mentioned the umbrellas lol but yes I love how they added them. It’s a neat feature to not make the world seem so “dead”. I like how detailed the sims 4 worlds are.

They're not fake; they're just visitors from The Sims 1.

It's both fascinating and terrifying to zoom in on the things in the background in the sims 4 worlds.

I zoomed in on them when I first got eco living and as creepy as they look, I still couldn’t stop looking at them lol. While my sim went looking through the trash, I kept zooming in on a new one each time one disappeared. ?

I noticed them a while back but thought it fit since its in the City. Otherwise it would be kinda strange only relying on townies to walk that mych around those areas and be in center at same time, just made sense for me.

I've seen them in San Myshuno on the lower levels that our Sims can't go on a long time ago.
