Sims Lore

Recently I've been fascinated by any kind of lore in the Sims 4. Though it doesn't always make it into gameplay, I have noticed so much with descriptions of sims/families, BB items, and little Easter eggs thrown in with how packs are connected.

I saw a tiktok video the other day that pieced together Princess Cordelia's story and it was so in depth and fascinating that I've found myself thinking about Sims 4 lore and how it might be fun to explore this more in gameplay ever since.

So what's your piece of sims lore? From Johnny Zest to Roberto Crinkletop, there's so many little hidden stories to be explored, some well known among the sims community and others more obscure. And a follow up question - how much attention do you pay to lore in the game and do you often use it to drive your stories?

  • If I played premades, it would come into effect. But I don't. Some of it is fascinating, though, the whole bit about how, when and why Bella disappeared.

    In my story Jacques was a criminal mastermind, a kind of Moriarty, who works with the various criminal cartels, like the Landgraabs and Altos, but isn't part of them. His wife was killed in a tragically failed attempt to assassinate him... a fact he hides because, among other reasons, there is more to be gained by mystery than sympathy.
  • I'm pretty much half and half
    I love some premade lore and I like to sprinkle it in my stories/ be inspired by it and twist it to fit my schemes but other pieces of lore I straight up refuse to acknowledge or just don't really care for

    also it kind of frustrates me when they pick old premade sims and add new lore but like I already played them according to my own made up lore so now nothing matches

    feels similar to when you buy book series and they change covers in the middle like why, why would you do that to me?
