The Sims In Real Life

Have you ever come across things in real life and thought, 'That's so Sims!'

Mostly it happens when I'm at a restaurant with friends and my Sims brain goes DINING OUT! 

But I'm celebrating the holidays with my mom and sisters in the Eastern Cape (South Africa), in a quaint little coastal town. And yesterday we drove past the only vet office in town and my brain was like, 'WOW! IT'S LIKE I'M IN BRINDLETON BAY!!'

Even more so when my mom and I took her little mixed breed doggy for a walk close to the beach and I took in all the scenery with the winy sandy walkways and all the seaside decor everywhere. 

Please share your real life Sim experiences. I'm sure I can't be the only one 😋

  • It was lovely that the town where you are holidaying reminded you of Brindleton Bay ❤️You would feel like the Sims world had come to life, and you were able to enjoy walking through the town, just like your sims do.
    Often I will be watching tv, and a home or building reminds me straight away about a building or interior furnishings that is just like what is in the game! 🙂

    More than once in local Mall or Supermarket I have had the thought that maybe townies take their fashion taste from real life, after all.😁

    When I was an undergrad at Rhodes, and it was still Grahamstown, we'd go to Kenton. (Well, the cool kids would, and I tagged along once or twice.) Of course weather in sunny South Africa doesn't get all miserable like Brindleton Bay, but that beachy vibe is very similar. 

    Misaligned windows and confused roofing make me think of Sims. 

  • I pass by this house everyday on my way to work and it makes me smile everytime it's such a sims build 😂 

    Also I enjoy a game of randomizer sim when I'm out and about. There's so many people who look like if you pressed randomize in CAS they'll definitely be there lol

    It does look like a Sims game house! 🙂

  • The other day my dryer was beeping at me to clean out the filter. The load in there had stopped, and as I was cleaning the filter I thought, "If this were the sims my house would be on fire right now." 😂 

  • I often get inspiration from buildings or really eye-catching outfits. But the one that makes me laugh is when I try to rotate the camera while browsing the web. 🤣

    That's some deep set muscle memory right there 🤣🤣 that's as funny as leaning to try to look around corners in games 😂

  • EVERY single time I walk into a room, and I realize that I have absolutely NO clue as to why I'm going in there for! 

    Must be "MY WATCHER" cancelling actions again 😂!
