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?

This is horrifying. It's like Sims 4 Potato Mode. I rather the lot just be empty than to see these stumbling around like pod people 8'D

That said, I wonder if there are more of them in the other worlds :o xD

You can't really see them though, they're out of the playable area and they're only just enough in view that you can see characters moving around, can't tell they aren't sims without zooming in on them

I knew only about fake houses, but this looks so creepy!

In addition to fake houses and fake Sims, there is also the fake world. This Sim definitely knows something the other Sims don't.

There's one on the beach at Brindleton Bay. Well, it doesn't move, it's more like a cardboard cut-out.

Sims 4 Truman Matrix Puppetry show confirmed. After all Sims 4 is just a huge doll house world without them even knowing... :hushed:

There are more in Brindleton Bay, often walking a dog. I've seen them a few times. I quite like the idea - it makes the areas feel more populated, without excess strain on the computer. <3
