Your best/Funniest/most memorable Sims moment

I had a pretty funny glitch, i guess, in ts4. I decided to stage a photoshoot with a bunch of my sims so i turned off their autonomy and cheated them happy when their needs went yellow. I was messing around with it for like, 2 hrs irl or something. Anyway, lately my pauses have been kinda laggy, so when i hit pause this time, my sim slowly turned his head to me until there was eye contact, made this creepy grin and then the game crashed hahaha. I felt like it was revenge for making them stand around posing for so long, lol!

In ts3, i had this robot that kept getting abducted by aliens every night. My lot was one i placed in oasis landing myself, in like, the middle of the wasteland, so no cars could route there and the sims would have to run miles to get to the road and back. Anyway, this alien would abduct my poor robot every night, then drop him off on the road so he had to run all the way back home, while the alien would get out of the space ship and hop into a car and drive off. Lol.

In the sims 2, my family had an unwanted toddler boy. I decided to kill him off with cheats, and chose death by sattelite. I didn't know that he wouldn't die. He was just stuck under a satellite forever in the front garden.

I'm sure there have been many memorable moments, but right now, I can't recall them, lol. What is coming to mind as I read these excellent stories, is what must have been one of the play sessions in TS4 that I had when I first got the game. I directed one of my teen guys to sneak out to the park for the first time. I didn't know there wasn't a curfew, so I was expecting to be confronted and taken home by the police, or some such occurrence, at any moment. Yet at the same time, several other teens had shown up at the park, and we were grilling some burgers, listening to the boombox he brought along, playing cards, flirting, etc, etc.

My Sim was enjoying himself so much that it got to be 3 o'clock in the morning before I noticed the time. I quickly had him travel home, wondering what the reaction from the folks would be. It seems like this was before the Sims would be out in front of the house most of the time. Sure enough, his dad was still in bed. But his mom was awake, no doubt wondering where in God's Green Earth was her son. I'll never forget the look on her face, as she sat on the toilet.

I hadn't yet seen the particular animation. As you might have guessed, she was Taking An Angry Poop.

Hmm, good question. I'd have to think on it awhile, but two come to mind right away. The first is from shortly after I started playing Sims 1. I started with the Newbie household, and I played them all day. I had no idea what I was doing, but whatever it was, I loved it. When they made food in Sims 1, there weren't individual dishes that you could tell them to make, it was just prepare food. If a counter space and stove were available, they'd make a fulfilling meal that raised their hunger bar a lot, if there was a counter space but no stove, they'd make a salad that was moderately fulfilling, and if there was no counter space, they'd just pull a tray of cans out that were ready to be eaten right away, but weren't very fulfilling at all. At first, I liked it better when they just pulled the plate of cans out of the refrigerator because it was so much faster than actually preparing a meal. But after awhile, I realized that the food quality was much, much better when they prepared food, so although it saved time in the preparation, the "instant meals" weren't worth it, so it was better to be sure that the counters weren't cluttered and they could prepare a proper meal. It was then that I began to realize that there was more depth to the game than visible right from the start.

Remembering this really makes me wish that I could go back in time and play the game for the first time again.

The other moment is much more recent. In Sims 3, I've been working on a Legacy challenge. Well, if I like the spares, I usually let them stay in the house instead of kicking them out, they just don't get to marry or have children. One of them, named Clove, was a really sweet Sim I became pretty fond of. He was a genius, angler, easily impressed, good, and lucky, and he was just a happy Sim who was easy to please, did well in his career as a doctor, and got along with everyone. He made friends with a (really, really ugly) townie named Pauline in school, and I let their relationship progress to the point that they became engaged, but it had to stop there.

So, when I noticed his life bar getting full, I knew that it wouldn't be too much longer until he died, and I invited Pauline over, so they could spend his last day together.

Unfortunately, I misjudged exactly how full his bar was, and shortly after Pauline arrived, the reaper did, too.

So I lost one of my favorite Sims, and Pauline lost her fiance. However, she didn't leave the house that night. I was expecting her to go ahead and autonomously go home when it got late, but instead, she stuck around the house for two days. One of my Sims was an explorer so I had a couple of sarcophaguses on the lawn, and she slept in those. During the day, she'd go in the hot tub, eat meals that were prepared by family members, chat with them, and use the various objects that I had on the lot.

Finally, early on the morning of the third day, she got in her car and left. She drove one of those cheap cars that you see all over (Sloppy Jalopy?) and, as she jumped in the car and drove away, she actually turned to look back at the house.

It was really an amazing moment. She stayed the whole time that she and the family were in mourning, and then, after her period of mourning was over and she had to leave, she took one last look at the huge, expensive mansion, knowing that she'd never see it again, as she was an elder too, and she had no reason to come back since her fiance was dead and she wasn't friends with any of the other Sims.

I dunno how funny one might consider it, but with how the aliens are in my game, I find these instances hilarious. This is from Sims4 btw.

First one was around Christmas, when our sims were first given the freedom of autonomous woohoo. My two guys were coming back from the park when one asked the other if he wanted to woohoo. I thought it was adorable and they ran back home...one screen later and BOOM! One got abducted right there on the spot. Not only that, but they abducted Gramma too in the process!!

Another time, same couple, was when I was testing out some features of MC Commander, namely the pregnancy module. I go into game and again, one of them gets abducted. Luckily both times didn't have nooboos, but what was comical about this one was it was if the aliens were saying "Ah excuse me? There's only one way they have kids, lady. Now change those settings before we abduct the other one."

:joy: I could not stop laughing for about 5 minutes.

Oddly enough, my favorite sim moment occurred in my least favorite sim game: the sims 3 (maybe I should reconsider that? Lol). I created Bonnie as a young adult sim who had just moved to Bridgeport to become a movie star. She soon became my favorite sim: she married twice and lived the life of the rich and famous, becoming a 5 star celebrity and top of her career. She had 3 children and eventually moved to an enormous manor and had horses. it was the fist time I managed to become rich without cheating! Bonnie was the only sim I have ever been attached to! So naturally, the most memorable moment was when she died from old age. I knew the day was coming so I prepared everything. She passed in her house, surrounded by her three children and 10 grandchildren. I threw a funeral party with her pictures and awards everywhere. It was touching :)

I love it and am amused by the times my sims act so very much "in character" when it comes to how I view them, so probably things that are more fun for me as a player than funny-funny. Like this uh, clueless lil' guy who went to a dance party, had a few drinks and acted like he was totally plastered, pulled a lot of faces that made him look... well, clueless. Started flirting with a guy even though their romance bar was in the red after a "dang, I got caught"-moment a long time ago. Stole everyone's drinks, even though his bladder was in the red. Went back just to stay in the grass, far away from everyone else, dancing all by himself. Randomly laughing and wiping his eyes. "That's him, alright", I thought. Or when his mother invited people to a party and the first thing I see is the oldest siblings with this true big sis, lil' bro-dynamic goofing around with one another. And then there's the brother who is a real womanizer, extremely odd and loooves his juice. And sure enough, when another sim was at a birthday party his dad, who probably didn't know better, had hired him as a caterer for some reason. He didn't make any food. At all. He was "very flirty", all he did was talking to the guests, flirting, having drinks and dancing. No cooking whatsoever.

My favourite moment was when I came home to find my lover Nathan Drake in bed with Waitress Jill Mellon. I was an atrociously evil Warlock so set fire to the bed. Jill escaped but Nathan died and as I teleported out of the bedroom, my butler River Barakat came into the bedroom to clear the soot and remains of my dead lover only to die himself in the flames.
I then resurrected River as a Zombie so lived in a Gothic mansion with a Zombie Butler, an alien daughter and a ghostly ex lover.

There was this thing that cracked me up today. I have a guy who's in a poly relationship (cheated the player-trait), one girlfriend, one boyfriend. Both of them were at his house and I decided that he and his boyfriend would woohoo. The guy's sister and the girlfriend were both in the room with his bed, so he naturally went "shoo, shoo". Only his sister left. The girlfriend just stood there, looking at them, grinning the whole time when the guys had fun in bed. After it he was going to woohoo with his girlfriend. The same thing happened - boyfriend stood there, actually walking to the bed, smiling, looking. I thought someone would get an embarrassed moodlet but oh no, not at all. When the guy and the girl went out of bed the boyfriend autonomously gave him a passionate kiss... while the girlfriend cheered and clapped her hands with a little thought bubble with her boyfriend's boyfriend in it. I was all "oooohhhh, you diiiirty devils!"

One time at a wedding, I had my sims grandfather come because her dad had died recently from an fire. Everything was going fine until her dead father showed up randomly as an ghost and started to woohoo one of the neighbors. I was going to use the room they woohooed in for an little 'honeymoon' for the newlyweds. Basically, the bride ((the ghosts daughter)) walked n on them and it was so embarrassing. To top it all off, I saw the neighbor pregnant two sim days later- and it was hilarious. I never saw her father again even though his grave was in the backyard, his ghost never came. :) I just sat there amazed and dazzled. So I guess our little bride has a new step-sibling on the way.
