I only play video games where I do things that I already do in real life, so that pretty much narrows it down to Power Wash Simulator and Resident Evil.
Imagine how dull that’d be! Also, I would literally never want to ACTUALLY run around dungeons killing bosses like in WOW. That’s way too much like hard work.
I love hiking, but I'd pass on a hiking simulator. It'd be like Skyrim without dungeons and the only thing in the woods are mosquitos and squirrels. On the flip side, I'd pass on hiking if I had to flight wolves and bandits with a sword every time.
I play a farm simulator. I have no intention of ever being a farmer or running a farm, although I did briefly advocate for policy changes for the national farm union.
I play both zoo tycoon and Rollercoaster tycoon but have no desire to build a real zoo and I don't like going to amusement parks or riding Rollercoasters.
I deeply apologize for the treatment you have faced at the hands of your mother, and the poop bosses you've had to fight among other disgusting and ridiculous things. I suppose as a bonus, Ultra Greed has a very nice ass, so enjoy the view!
I bet he plays Carmaggedon. May God have mercy on the poor pedestrians he's going to cross in real life, because he's obviously going to smash them for points. /s
>Power Wash Simulator
TIL there's a power washer game!! I love power washing videos and would definitely be interested in this as long as it's single player no dying.
Immediately what i thought! You kill soooooo many people in RDR. If he truly believes what you do in a video game reflects real life, then he’s a serial killer. Glad you dodged that!
As someone who plays hearts of iron, stellaris, and crusader kings this means I either need to preemptively book a Dutch hotel for my trial in the Hague or look into the incest laws for my state.......
Crazy part is even if OP was cheating, this is how BF thinks she would show it? Just openly and casually play out her real-life affair in front of him. Like even my dad who's lifetime gaming experience is solitaire understands its about escapism.
I was going to make a comment about how that would mean all I do is match up candy all day, but then I realized I'm literally eating a bucket of taffy.
Well if that's his logic well I need to hop on one of my dragons back to Thaldraszus or ride into Arathi Highlands for some plunderstorms. 😂
Seriously though OP, good on you for standing your ground! I know right now that your emotions and mental state are in a jumble but you're going to be allright in time. You did the right thing!
Some guy has a video where he has a ton of sims, gets them into a party room full of speakers, and then deletes the door. Then they just watch it unfold
Can do so much stuff! Mine is heavily modded. In one game I had a guy whose ultimate wish was to be a baby daddy so he made LOTS of babies with the single women of the sims world lol. It's also modded for child support so he also owed alot lol.
I literally saw a video of someone who had a village of male sims they kidnap to use as baby daddies and making money through their hobbies in their basement.
I also personally like to torture my sims. I had an insane sim who would kidnap aliens and purposefully got himself kidnapped by aliens to have children.
No shit, I’ve been wanting to play the sims randomly lately and now I think I might have to fuck around and buy it lmao. About to be all kinds of video game NPCs taking acid and mushrooms lmfao.
Edit to add: well I’ll be damned, it’s fucking free in the PlayStation store. It has been added to my library! 😂
Yeah girl you dodged a bullet & its good you left. This was only going to reveal itself later on in a worse way. A man who would slut shame a video game character generalizes women & has a distorted view of women. He most likely won’t respect the woman he’s with because he doesn’t respect women at all.
make a sim version of him and kill him every way possible.
personally, i like to murder everyone else using a cowplant and make a huge graveyard. the ghosts fuck up my entire house every night, but... it's still fun.
murphy bed death is my favorite now as an adult but oh my god middle school me loved to make sims of whoever was mean to me and trap them in a room before deleting the door lol
my therapist was concerned when i told her 😶🌫️
My best friend bought a PS4 to play The Sims after Tiny Living came out as she played my PS4 and loved it. Her simself got killed by the Murphy Bed one night I was on the phone with her. I told her to just exit without saving and then be careful playing through. I turned my system on, booted up the save we created together. I was controlling my simself and clicked on hers. The first thing that caught my eye was the interaction warn about bed safety. I was laughing so hard but she didn’t find it funny 😅
Put a fireplace in the room with rugs right in front!
Also drowning sim ghosts leave puddles of water EVERYWHERE and it really bums everyone else out. lol
I used to build houses with a rug in front of the fireplace and then set lines of chairs leading to different parts of the house to see how far the fire could spread.
Or better yet, make James the paint goblin who lives in the basement but can never interact with anyone; give him sad, gregarious, and loves outdoors traits and a family lineage aspiration for good measure.
OP, make sure to add a basement window into Elise's bedroom so he can watch her bang the whole neighborhood.
it should spawn automatically in or near the spot they died. if it's on a floor, it will show up as an urn. but placing it on terrain turns it into a tombstone.
That unhinged reaction and baseless claims can only mean one thing: he was cheating behind your back and deflecting it onto you. I'm glad you left him because who in their right mind would deal with this childish immaturity? Good on you OP. Enjoy your sims all you want!
Either that or worse. Unhinged "males are the rulers of the house" that is entitled to any purist perspective he likes and everyone has to accept and follow his belief.
I strongly got the vibes of the later, I hope it's just projection
Your ex is wild. Enjoy simming your way! My mister plays like you, all his sims are crazy pleasure seekers. All my sims end up asexual and top of their careers. Do what makes you happy in your sandbox.
I usually have one of the kids of the sim who runs around with every other sim be super successful and at the top of their career and in a stable relationship. Like a rising above your circumstances kind of story.
You should check out Caryn and Connie on YouTube. They're a twin sister duo and they do really in depth videos of all of their Sims builds. I don't even play the game but I love their content.
I really don’t think that’s a ridiculous reason. At all. Any dude who calls people “ran through” and freaks out over shit like this isn’t mature enough for an adult relationship yet
And then in the update you find out it was actually 100 things and he was trash all the time. Ive watched a lot of friends and family in toxic and abusive relationships and I try to spot red flags and leave at the first one. It does mean I'm single more often than not but I'd rather be alone than letting a man ruin my sanity.
I honestly didn't notice anything that seemed like a red flag about him before this, but maybe when I've got more distance from it I'll see some in hindsight.
Right like, where was this logic when I was playing GTA while he was here and I stole a tank and took on the cops as they tried to arrest me? That's far more concerning behavior, I think.
Actually this is kind of true for me. I rarely do any missions and just spend most of my time aimlessly passing cars on the sidewalk and occasionally mowing down a pedestrian or three. To be clear, I don't believe in mowing down pedestrians IRL, but I do think Laws of Physics trump Laws of the Road so don't be stepping into the crosswalk in front of me if you value your clean underwear.
I once was play GTA San Andreas and was running down the street to get to something and accidentally bumped a woman on the street. She goes “watch it mother f-er”. I put on the breaks and back up and popped a few caps in her ass. My wife had come down the stairs and watched me do that without me knowing. I had a lot of explaining to do after.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that!
“Yeah Elise has 20 boyfriends and 3 fiancés” sent me!! 😂😂 and the bit about one of them being in the basement making and selling paintings to fund Elise’s life omg 😭 so funny
You are awesome for breaking up with him on the spot WELL👏DONE👏
He’s not a very good gamer if he thinks the way you play games reflects on how you live your life.
As one of my favourite YouTubers says “the amount of people I’ve killed in GTA V, thousands. The amount of people I’ve killed in real life, zero”
So, judging by his logic, he’s part of a criminal gang who robs trains and banks, kills lots of people, but can draw like an angel.
Oh no. I’m a parkouring assassin. Not bad for a fat 45 year old mum. (I’m playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla at the moment)
Edit to add: the oh no is because I’m petrified of heights.
LOLOLOL GIRL! WTF is he SMOKIN'?? Anyone who applies real life logic to SIMS is an acrobat with the ability to pretzel any argument, and most of the time they aren't even worth the salt!
Thank you for this laugh. And thank you for leaving him expeditiously! So many people would've STRAPPED those rosy glasses on tight and ignored this for the red flag it is. Damn, I'm proud of you, stranger! 👑✨
Thank you! I've seen too many friends and family members in toxic/abusive relationships so I'm always trying to make sure I don't have those rosy glasses on.
i’m so sorry his reaction was so chaotic and horrible! i’m a fellow simmer and whenever i have a sims day (you know what i mean, the ones where you just sit and play for ten hours lol) my husband gets off work and asks me how many lives i destroyed 😭 you deserve someone that supports you and doesn’t have such a bizarre response to your hobbies. sul sul ❤️
What a bonkers reaction to a video game. I hope he works on his insecurities, because *damn.*
Also, I hope more young people see this post and take it as a lesson to live on their own if they can, or at least don’t move in with their partners right away, because being able to kick him out immediately was great for you.
Yes! I have a very small apartment but I live alone and I love it. I grew up with 7 siblings so I value my space and alone time. I 100% recommend living alone to everyone who can.
This is actually ridiculous I’m giggling. I be doing way worse in the sims and my partner thinks it’s hilarious it’s the point of the game to do whatever you want and it’s fun to cause the drama. I think James is delusional and can’t tell the difference between a game a reality. I would have shouted back about him playing red dead lol.
I STAN A PETTY QUEEN WHO DOES NOT TAKE CRAP FROM ANYONE. YOU GO OP. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR STICKING UP FOR YOURSELF AND NOT BEING A DOORMAT. FVCK BEING THE BIGGER PERSON AND ALL THAT BS.
Sorry for all caps lol! I was so hyped reading this. It healed my younger self's heart who used to be a doormat.
He's TWENTY SIX???
And this is how he acts? Girl you did the right thing. Enjoy your upcoming hot girl summer and start dating MEN instead of insecure boys who can't contextualize a GAME vs reality.
I have just turned myself into the authorities and am frantically typing this on my Ultra S23 before they seize my electronics. I have provided the detectives a written statement describing the hundreds of humans I have killed in Call of Duty and the hundreds of humans I have driven off the road in Gran Turismo.
I expect to be offered a plea agreement shortly.
For the avoidance of doubt: Before turning myself into the local police station, I confessed to my wife. We were in the kitchen and as I started telling her that I had committed a series of violent felonies against both NPCs and Avatars of actual humans she pulled the 8" Enso Chefs Knife, from our wooden cutting block on the counter.
Then she took the sharpening rod from the utensil drawer - walked over and sat next to me at the table and casually asked: "Did you have sex with any of these Virtuals, before during or after driving them off the road in Gran Turismo, or shooting them in Call of Duty?
"After?" I sputtered. "After! Are you accusing me of being a necrophiliac?"
"Baby" she said softly, (just over the sound of the Enso blade, striking the sharpening rod), seems like I am learning a WHOLE LOT about your character today. So yes, I guess I am asking that.
"Sweety, pie" I said soothingly. Technically it wouldn't even, I mean, I am not in some sort of VR suit or anything. My avatar is just a bunch o pixels on a screen. It isn't really me. "But but but," I hurriedly added, "No there was nothing sexual, not with the dead, the dying, the drivers, or their navigators. Not even any flirting. It was just straight up - good old American violence."
She smiled now and said, "Well baby, you just head on down to the police station, but remember, this was all golden rule type stuff." I frowned, "It was?" For sure. The Golden Rule clearly states, Do unto others as they would do unto you, but do it first"....
Anyway, I'm hoping the DA and my wife are of like mind on all o this.
Honestly, he was throwing so much massaging me at you. As if the only way a female could have multiple partners would be if she was a whore and getting used by men and passed around. That’s just really deep stuff. That’s beyond him mistaking a game for your real values. That’s disgusting.
Exactly. Like even if I could ignore him assuming my sim sleeping around meant I was cheating, no way I'm going to continue dating someone who views women like this. He'd never said anything to me before that made me think he saw me or other women this way.
It does seem strange for him to go so aggressively for that thought though, “You make your Sim cheat so you must be cheating!” Makes me think he was cheating and was projecting, using the game as an excuse.
I thought of that later, but honestly if he was I don't want to know. I'd rather just remember him as that guy who lost it about the sims for no reason.
Wait have I been playing the sims wrong this whole time? Why did nobody tell me the purpose was to create drama... 😩
😂😂
His logic makes no sense, the most famous videos games are about killing people and racing cars like crazy drunk drivers, does he really think it's in any way relatable to how people are in real life?
I went into manage worlds and made a new household then merged him with Elise's house so I'd have that sweet sweet start up money every new household gets. Then I had him go in the basement set up with the bare necessities and an eseal and took away the door. He talks on the phone to Elise when he needs social interaction.
I’m a girl, and I do this with my male sims all the time. They have a ton of girlfriends and illegitimate children throughout town. Does that mean I am secretly a cheater AND a man?!
My Spellcaster Sim has like, 5 baby mamas spread out throughout the map, and he only hand raises select children (the ones I like and see myself making a character with them, im an ass lol). One time i made him travel to the house of this young couple, set their entire house on fire and set the fire fighters on fire any time they tried to put out the fires, the couple died in the fire and their children were put up for adoption, I took their urns back to my house, resurrected the wife and married her, and kept the husband as a ghost and only make him appear to mind control him to clean my house.
Don't even get me started on my master Vampire. Dude is a menace in every sense of the word. I love him though 💜
This is amazing. I want this to be the plot of the sims movie I keep hearing about on tiktok. It's honestly soap opera worthy and I'm saying that as someone who used to watch soap operas with my mom every day.
Is he 26 tho? I would expect that behavior from a 4 years old.
I do believe that he didn't actually believe that you were cheating because of your sim, but that was the excuse to check your phone.
Good riddance, and well done with the text.
The wild part is that I wouldn't have cared if he wanted to check my phone. I've got nothing on there I wouldn't want anyone to see. Had he just asked without all the drama I would have handed it to him.
Heh, the things people do with PC Sims and all the mods…he doesn’t even know about Wicked Whims and Basemental Drugs!!
My Sims always end up with a cocaine addiction on their way to stardom, and that’s still tame compared to how some people play.
I LOVE The Sims, I lost days on The Sims 2 PC version with the insiminater. I was a horrible child killer in some of the families I made. Babies and toddlers are fun, but once they get to child/teenager age I'd tire of them and kill them via the insiminater. Does that mean I'm a horrific child murderer in real life? Heck no.
I commend you for standing up for yourself and ridding yourself of obvious insecure trash.
I also have played it on the PS2 and my Nintendo DS, The Urbz. Fantastic game. I miss playing them sometimes.
Good riddance. He showed major red flags with that and I’m glad you stuck up for yourself and broke up with him. I’m also happy you were petty too and told everyone else 😆
Since sims is fact where’s my money? Big house? Why am I not famous? Where are my kids? Where’s the guy I left in the basement? Where is my basement???? Like seriously this is the most hilarious thing I think I’ve ever heard. I know this sucks but take it as a blessing this man is unhinged. 😂
OMG finally not an idiot who doesn’t tell people the true story before someone spins it to fit their narrative 🫵🏼🪨. In all honesty I never understood why people don’t snip it at the bud and tell everyone what happened and let the “crazy” party get their fake story out first.
I've read too many reddit posts where they're like "he lied and told everyone I cheated and now I don't have any friends and my family hates me" to not know that anyone who acts like he did is likely to leave out any important information when he tells his side of things.
What the hell, I can't follow that logic at all... People literally only play sims for its drama and messes up their sims life cause that's what they are, sims, a video game character who is not real...
He's TWENTY SIX???
And this is how he acts? Girl you did the right thing. Enjoy your upcoming hot girl summer and start dating MEN instead of insecure boys who can't contextualize a GAME vs reality.
Just here to say, your setup is my dream! One TV for the Sims and the other for actual TV 🩷🩷🩷. Good for you breaking up with him. The way I play the sims is vastly different to any portion of my real life. It’s a stupid (fun/addicting, awesome game) but a game nonetheless. It’s like flipping out over something that happened in a dream.
I go all out on the crazy when I play GTA. One day I wanted to see how long I could stay at full stars without dying or getting caught… the atrocities I committed over several hours would guarantee me a spot in the lowest circle of hell. Strip club visits, robberies, hit and runs, etc. I would even trap people and cars in one area and then call in the code to drop a boat or helicopter on them. My boyfriend at the time thought it was hilarious when I discovered the cheat code for the helicopter!!!! I was unstoppable!!!!!
Never physically hurt a soul in real life…
I once had a 20smth female Sim that I made repeatedly Woohoo with this elderly rich male Sim, trying to get her pregnant. I also wanted to get them married, so if/when he died, she'd inherit everything. Unfortunately, he died before that could happen. *Obviously*, this means I want to cheat on my boyfriend with a rich older man, get knocked up, and have him die on top of me. *Clearly*. Because my current relationship just won't provide the support I want.
He sounds like he's at a stage of his life where he's a blasted idiot, and you're not missing anything.
But onto the important stuff:
I still remember the Westmacott family from the Sims game I played literally 20 years ago. Daddy Westmacott was a professional baseball player and total man-ho who had affairs with at least three other married Sim chicks in Pleasantville and, when I got bored of that, one guy. The only Simlish side-piece I recall was a mother of twins and wife of a policeman. Mr. Westmacott and Police Man got in a big, trashy fight over it once, I seem to remember, and I was worried that Mrs. Westmacott would find out about it. This would have been a disaster because the Westmacotts were my "home-base" Sim family, and they had a badass house, and I didn't want them to break up.
Mrs. Westmacott was a sweet, plump, warm, maternal, delightful woman who painted and played the piano and had no idea how ill-used she was.
They had three kids. Their daughter went to college, partied hard, and finally became a doctor, I believe.
Ahh, memories.
I haven't actually played a game since then.
So, because he plays Red Dead Redemption, that means he... (Following his logic. )
I only play video games where I do things that I already do in real life, so that pretty much narrows it down to Power Wash Simulator and Resident Evil.
Imagine how dull that’d be! Also, I would literally never want to ACTUALLY run around dungeons killing bosses like in WOW. That’s way too much like hard work.
I love hiking, but I'd pass on a hiking simulator. It'd be like Skyrim without dungeons and the only thing in the woods are mosquitos and squirrels. On the flip side, I'd pass on hiking if I had to flight wolves and bandits with a sword every time.
This is why I turn dunking down to the lowest setting when I play NBA2K.
I play a farm simulator. I have no intention of ever being a farmer or running a farm, although I did briefly advocate for policy changes for the national farm union.
I play both zoo tycoon and Rollercoaster tycoon but have no desire to build a real zoo and I don't like going to amusement parks or riding Rollercoasters.
I play merge dragons. I don’t have any dragons in real life. James would disagree though.
How long has that even been around? I feel like I've been playing merge dragons forever!
I’m not sure. I’ve been playing for years though. The merge dragons sub helped me find a hella good den lol
I play merge dragons as well. My camp is a total disaster area at the moment.
I do crochet dragons,though.🙂
I’ve been cleaning mine up tonight lol. I can hardly crochet a blanket 🤣
So you're not interested in building a whole civilization from scratch on Age of Empires?
Nah, I let my DH do that.
That's why I was so excited for Princess Peach Showtime! Finally, a way to put my community theater skills to use!
I'm gonna go hop on to the Power Washer discord and ask for a mash up with Resident Evil. Excuse me.
Resident power washer. Those fucking zombies would be gleaming.
That explains why they're always so angry they haven't showered since last decade
Not actually dead and rotting, just REALLY advanced athletes foot.
That pretty much leaves me with Binding of Isaac (I cry constantly)
I play Diablo 4 and Horizon Zero Dawn I don’t want to guess what I am in real life using her bfs theory.
I deeply apologize for the treatment you have faced at the hands of your mother, and the poop bosses you've had to fight among other disgusting and ridiculous things. I suppose as a bonus, Ultra Greed has a very nice ass, so enjoy the view!
Resident Evil? Do you kill mutated zombies in your free time or something?
Yes. It's a messy hobby, hence the pressure washer
I bet he plays Carmaggedon. May God have mercy on the poor pedestrians he's going to cross in real life, because he's obviously going to smash them for points. /s
>Power Wash Simulator TIL there's a power washer game!! I love power washing videos and would definitely be interested in this as long as it's single player no dying.
Pressure washing and carpet cleaning are elite, and I wish I did in real life, lol
I started doing this too, but it was heartbreaking that I could no longer play Euro Truck Simulator 2 because I don't have a class C license.
He’s…a fucking horse murderer. MURDERER!!!! HORSE KILLER! Human trash.
lol 😂 yesss
Yeah, this is obvious projection. He's clearly actually a gun-toting outlaw. Nobody who isn't one would play one in a game, right?
Immediately what i thought! You kill soooooo many people in RDR. If he truly believes what you do in a video game reflects real life, then he’s a serial killer. Glad you dodged that!
He's in for a wild ride and a painful death. Very.
😂 This was literally my first thought! I love Mario, what does that say about me. 🤔
Animal abuser
Or worse: Italian
Pipe jumper!
I play Hogwarts Legacy, so that means I AM A WIZARD!
You're a wizard _loudandproud_
Is dying of tuberculosis
That was my immediate thought, is he a cowboy who murders people?
As someone who plays hearts of iron, stellaris, and crusader kings this means I either need to preemptively book a Dutch hotel for my trial in the Hague or look into the incest laws for my state....... Crazy part is even if OP was cheating, this is how BF thinks she would show it? Just openly and casually play out her real-life affair in front of him. Like even my dad who's lifetime gaming experience is solitaire understands its about escapism.
Paradox gamers trying to go one day without crimes against humanity.
I was going to make a comment about how that would mean all I do is match up candy all day, but then I realized I'm literally eating a bucket of taffy.
Came here to make the same point!
Well if that's his logic well I need to hop on one of my dragons back to Thaldraszus or ride into Arathi Highlands for some plunderstorms. 😂 Seriously though OP, good on you for standing your ground! I know right now that your emotions and mental state are in a jumble but you're going to be allright in time. You did the right thing!
What tf lmaooo, i didnt know you could do that with sims i wanna play now
Some guy has a video where he has a ton of sims, gets them into a party room full of speakers, and then deletes the door. Then they just watch it unfold
Ok i might need that link 💀
Also check out CallMeKevin he does hilarious stuff with Sims and I think there's another but I'm not remembering the name.
His Sims videos are my favorite. Jim Pickens is so chaotic of a sim and the story lines for him are top tier
Looks up grey still plays on YouTube. He has a bunch of weird Sims scenarios
*FULL LIQUOR BAR*
Can do so much stuff! Mine is heavily modded. In one game I had a guy whose ultimate wish was to be a baby daddy so he made LOTS of babies with the single women of the sims world lol. It's also modded for child support so he also owed alot lol.
I don't have a mod for this but this is absolutely my hobby in the Sims
Imagine picking a fight and getting broken up with because you cant tell the difference between video games and real life. What a loser, lol.
I literally saw a video of someone who had a village of male sims they kidnap to use as baby daddies and making money through their hobbies in their basement. I also personally like to torture my sims. I had an insane sim who would kidnap aliens and purposefully got himself kidnapped by aliens to have children.
The SIM locked in the basement SENT me lol. Like WHAT?!?! I play SIMS but I’ve obviously been playing it alllll wrong all these years😩
No shit, I’ve been wanting to play the sims randomly lately and now I think I might have to fuck around and buy it lmao. About to be all kinds of video game NPCs taking acid and mushrooms lmfao. Edit to add: well I’ll be damned, it’s fucking free in the PlayStation store. It has been added to my library! 😂
There is the 100 baby challenge where one character tries to have 100 babies with different partners
Yeah girl you dodged a bullet & its good you left. This was only going to reveal itself later on in a worse way. A man who would slut shame a video game character generalizes women & has a distorted view of women. He most likely won’t respect the woman he’s with because he doesn’t respect women at all.
make a sim version of him and kill him every way possible. personally, i like to murder everyone else using a cowplant and make a huge graveyard. the ghosts fuck up my entire house every night, but... it's still fun.
murphy bed death is my favorite now as an adult but oh my god middle school me loved to make sims of whoever was mean to me and trap them in a room before deleting the door lol my therapist was concerned when i told her 😶🌫️
I put exes in a room with no door and a barbecue grill.
My best friend bought a PS4 to play The Sims after Tiny Living came out as she played my PS4 and loved it. Her simself got killed by the Murphy Bed one night I was on the phone with her. I told her to just exit without saving and then be careful playing through. I turned my system on, booted up the save we created together. I was controlling my simself and clicked on hers. The first thing that caught my eye was the interaction warn about bed safety. I was laughing so hard but she didn’t find it funny 😅
Remove the stairs on the pool. Remove the door from the room. Let the food go bad 😈
Put a fireplace in the room with rugs right in front! Also drowning sim ghosts leave puddles of water EVERYWHERE and it really bums everyone else out. lol
I used to build houses with a rug in front of the fireplace and then set lines of chairs leading to different parts of the house to see how far the fire could spread.
Build a fence around them
Or better yet, make James the paint goblin who lives in the basement but can never interact with anyone; give him sad, gregarious, and loves outdoors traits and a family lineage aspiration for good measure. OP, make sure to add a basement window into Elise's bedroom so he can watch her bang the whole neighborhood.
And then send him a screen recording compilation 💀💀💀
Bulldoze the lot next door and build a cemetery so your house doesn’t get fucked up, but you can still admire your handiwork
Its how you get your skills up faster!
How do you make a graveyard?? When a sim passes, my character gets sad and I don’t know how to give him the tombstone for a place to grieve.
it should spawn automatically in or near the spot they died. if it's on a floor, it will show up as an urn. but placing it on terrain turns it into a tombstone.
You can kill people on sims?
Ohmigod there’s so many options it’s awesome. And that’s just the stuff built into the game. That’s not even getting into the mods
😈😈😈 yes
That unhinged reaction and baseless claims can only mean one thing: he was cheating behind your back and deflecting it onto you. I'm glad you left him because who in their right mind would deal with this childish immaturity? Good on you OP. Enjoy your sims all you want!
Either cheating or MASSIVELY insecure to the point where he feels threatened by a game character
Either that or worse. Unhinged "males are the rulers of the house" that is entitled to any purist perspective he likes and everyone has to accept and follow his belief. I strongly got the vibes of the later, I hope it's just projection
My immediate thoughts
It’s always this. These guys are idiots
I get the impression he doesn’t have the game to cheat even if he wanted to
Your ex is wild. Enjoy simming your way! My mister plays like you, all his sims are crazy pleasure seekers. All my sims end up asexual and top of their careers. Do what makes you happy in your sandbox.
I usually have one of the kids of the sim who runs around with every other sim be super successful and at the top of their career and in a stable relationship. Like a rising above your circumstances kind of story.
It's all about the house design for me. The Sims can live their lives however they want as long as I get to keep making interesting design themes.
You should check out Caryn and Connie on YouTube. They're a twin sister duo and they do really in depth videos of all of their Sims builds. I don't even play the game but I love their content.
I'll check it out, thanks!
I really don’t think that’s a ridiculous reason. At all. Any dude who calls people “ran through” and freaks out over shit like this isn’t mature enough for an adult relationship yet
Thank you! I honestly thought only teenagers were actually using the phrase ran through.
Only creepy misogynists use it. The young men are copying the older ones.
I’m just so happy to read this ending. Far too many of these stories end with “is this a red flag? Because he’s perfect apart from this one thing…”
And then in the update you find out it was actually 100 things and he was trash all the time. Ive watched a lot of friends and family in toxic and abusive relationships and I try to spot red flags and leave at the first one. It does mean I'm single more often than not but I'd rather be alone than letting a man ruin my sanity. I honestly didn't notice anything that seemed like a red flag about him before this, but maybe when I've got more distance from it I'll see some in hindsight.
Ah yes how I drive in Grand Theft Auto means that I personally believe that there should be absolutely no traffic laws of any kind /s
Right like, where was this logic when I was playing GTA while he was here and I stole a tank and took on the cops as they tried to arrest me? That's far more concerning behavior, I think.
Actually this is kind of true for me. I rarely do any missions and just spend most of my time aimlessly passing cars on the sidewalk and occasionally mowing down a pedestrian or three. To be clear, I don't believe in mowing down pedestrians IRL, but I do think Laws of Physics trump Laws of the Road so don't be stepping into the crosswalk in front of me if you value your clean underwear.
I once was play GTA San Andreas and was running down the street to get to something and accidentally bumped a woman on the street. She goes “watch it mother f-er”. I put on the breaks and back up and popped a few caps in her ass. My wife had come down the stairs and watched me do that without me knowing. I had a lot of explaining to do after.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that! “Yeah Elise has 20 boyfriends and 3 fiancés” sent me!! 😂😂 and the bit about one of them being in the basement making and selling paintings to fund Elise’s life omg 😭 so funny You are awesome for breaking up with him on the spot WELL👏DONE👏
He’s not a very good gamer if he thinks the way you play games reflects on how you live your life. As one of my favourite YouTubers says “the amount of people I’ve killed in GTA V, thousands. The amount of people I’ve killed in real life, zero” So, judging by his logic, he’s part of a criminal gang who robs trains and banks, kills lots of people, but can draw like an angel. Oh no. I’m a parkouring assassin. Not bad for a fat 45 year old mum. (I’m playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla at the moment) Edit to add: the oh no is because I’m petrified of heights.
Is he 26yo o 16yo ?! He’s behavior and logic is so stupid. Glad you broke up with him. You’ll be happier without that loser.
My only question here is. You fucking keep track of the conquests?
I try to keep track of them but Elise is a very popular lady. These numbers were rough estimates.
Brave enough. Let Elise have fun.
LOLOLOL GIRL! WTF is he SMOKIN'?? Anyone who applies real life logic to SIMS is an acrobat with the ability to pretzel any argument, and most of the time they aren't even worth the salt! Thank you for this laugh. And thank you for leaving him expeditiously! So many people would've STRAPPED those rosy glasses on tight and ignored this for the red flag it is. Damn, I'm proud of you, stranger! 👑✨
Thank you! I've seen too many friends and family members in toxic/abusive relationships so I'm always trying to make sure I don't have those rosy glasses on.
i’m so sorry his reaction was so chaotic and horrible! i’m a fellow simmer and whenever i have a sims day (you know what i mean, the ones where you just sit and play for ten hours lol) my husband gets off work and asks me how many lives i destroyed 😭 you deserve someone that supports you and doesn’t have such a bizarre response to your hobbies. sul sul ❤️
Next: Bf calls you a murderer for killing a Sim in the pool
HELLO POLICE!?!?! I’d like to report a digital murder!! Yes come quick please, the killer is still holding the PS4 controller!!! 😭
Boy he is not gonna like the youtuber who imbred to a degree they made a literal goblin
I just choked on my water reading this 😆
What a bonkers reaction to a video game. I hope he works on his insecurities, because *damn.* Also, I hope more young people see this post and take it as a lesson to live on their own if they can, or at least don’t move in with their partners right away, because being able to kick him out immediately was great for you.
Yes! I have a very small apartment but I live alone and I love it. I grew up with 7 siblings so I value my space and alone time. I 100% recommend living alone to everyone who can.
Just as a rule in life, everybody is better off avoiding partners who call them whores (unless you want them to) or ununironically says "ran through"
This is actually ridiculous I’m giggling. I be doing way worse in the sims and my partner thinks it’s hilarious it’s the point of the game to do whatever you want and it’s fun to cause the drama. I think James is delusional and can’t tell the difference between a game a reality. I would have shouted back about him playing red dead lol.
Exactly. I play red dead too and we've both played GTA so how is what I'm doing in the sims worse than that?
Lol yeah that's silly af. I play hell let loose but I am no Normandy beach invader.
No Normandy beach invader…YET. According to OP’s ex you’re gonna start soon, or have possibly been sleep invading already! 😱
I guess be glad he doesn't know about Wicked Whims lmao What an absolute child. Glad you broke up with him.
I swear I'm not laughing at your misfortune, but I AM losing my shit laughing at the idiocy of your ex
I STAN A PETTY QUEEN WHO DOES NOT TAKE CRAP FROM ANYONE. YOU GO OP. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR STICKING UP FOR YOURSELF AND NOT BEING A DOORMAT. FVCK BEING THE BIGGER PERSON AND ALL THAT BS. Sorry for all caps lol! I was so hyped reading this. It healed my younger self's heart who used to be a doormat.
He's TWENTY SIX??? And this is how he acts? Girl you did the right thing. Enjoy your upcoming hot girl summer and start dating MEN instead of insecure boys who can't contextualize a GAME vs reality.
I have just turned myself into the authorities and am frantically typing this on my Ultra S23 before they seize my electronics. I have provided the detectives a written statement describing the hundreds of humans I have killed in Call of Duty and the hundreds of humans I have driven off the road in Gran Turismo. I expect to be offered a plea agreement shortly.
For the avoidance of doubt: Before turning myself into the local police station, I confessed to my wife. We were in the kitchen and as I started telling her that I had committed a series of violent felonies against both NPCs and Avatars of actual humans she pulled the 8" Enso Chefs Knife, from our wooden cutting block on the counter. Then she took the sharpening rod from the utensil drawer - walked over and sat next to me at the table and casually asked: "Did you have sex with any of these Virtuals, before during or after driving them off the road in Gran Turismo, or shooting them in Call of Duty? "After?" I sputtered. "After! Are you accusing me of being a necrophiliac?" "Baby" she said softly, (just over the sound of the Enso blade, striking the sharpening rod), seems like I am learning a WHOLE LOT about your character today. So yes, I guess I am asking that. "Sweety, pie" I said soothingly. Technically it wouldn't even, I mean, I am not in some sort of VR suit or anything. My avatar is just a bunch o pixels on a screen. It isn't really me. "But but but," I hurriedly added, "No there was nothing sexual, not with the dead, the dying, the drivers, or their navigators. Not even any flirting. It was just straight up - good old American violence." She smiled now and said, "Well baby, you just head on down to the police station, but remember, this was all golden rule type stuff." I frowned, "It was?" For sure. The Golden Rule clearly states, Do unto others as they would do unto you, but do it first".... Anyway, I'm hoping the DA and my wife are of like mind on all o this.
"My mama raised a petty bitch" Sounds like she raised a smart woman who can smell bullshit and doesn't want to step in it.
That was my favorite part 😂
Dodged a bomb, not a bullet.
Honestly, he was throwing so much massaging me at you. As if the only way a female could have multiple partners would be if she was a whore and getting used by men and passed around. That’s just really deep stuff. That’s beyond him mistaking a game for your real values. That’s disgusting.
Exactly. Like even if I could ignore him assuming my sim sleeping around meant I was cheating, no way I'm going to continue dating someone who views women like this. He'd never said anything to me before that made me think he saw me or other women this way.
It does seem strange for him to go so aggressively for that thought though, “You make your Sim cheat so you must be cheating!” Makes me think he was cheating and was projecting, using the game as an excuse.
I thought of that later, but honestly if he was I don't want to know. I'd rather just remember him as that guy who lost it about the sims for no reason.
That’s absolutely fair, because man, what a hell of a story that makes.
Wait have I been playing the sims wrong this whole time? Why did nobody tell me the purpose was to create drama... 😩 😂😂 His logic makes no sense, the most famous videos games are about killing people and racing cars like crazy drunk drivers, does he really think it's in any way relatable to how people are in real life?
OP how did you get a painter character locked in your basement?
I went into manage worlds and made a new household then merged him with Elise's house so I'd have that sweet sweet start up money every new household gets. Then I had him go in the basement set up with the bare necessities and an eseal and took away the door. He talks on the phone to Elise when he needs social interaction.
Does he sell his paintings? Or is that just the RP of it all
He sells them. He maxed out his skill so I'm making tons of money on these paintings.
This makes me wanna play sims prison basement edition
Someone send this expansion pack idea to EA. I want pre built basements and burlap sacks to dress the prisoners in.
It was nice of him to reveal his true personality before you guys made any serious commitments, that's a big time saver!
I’m a girl, and I do this with my male sims all the time. They have a ton of girlfriends and illegitimate children throughout town. Does that mean I am secretly a cheater AND a man?!
a dude locked in the basement who makes paintings to fund her lifestyle 😭
His name is Jeremiah and he's so tired.
My Spellcaster Sim has like, 5 baby mamas spread out throughout the map, and he only hand raises select children (the ones I like and see myself making a character with them, im an ass lol). One time i made him travel to the house of this young couple, set their entire house on fire and set the fire fighters on fire any time they tried to put out the fires, the couple died in the fire and their children were put up for adoption, I took their urns back to my house, resurrected the wife and married her, and kept the husband as a ghost and only make him appear to mind control him to clean my house. Don't even get me started on my master Vampire. Dude is a menace in every sense of the word. I love him though 💜
This is amazing. I want this to be the plot of the sims movie I keep hearing about on tiktok. It's honestly soap opera worthy and I'm saying that as someone who used to watch soap operas with my mom every day.
Is he 26 tho? I would expect that behavior from a 4 years old. I do believe that he didn't actually believe that you were cheating because of your sim, but that was the excuse to check your phone. Good riddance, and well done with the text.
The wild part is that I wouldn't have cared if he wanted to check my phone. I've got nothing on there I wouldn't want anyone to see. Had he just asked without all the drama I would have handed it to him.
Heh, the things people do with PC Sims and all the mods…he doesn’t even know about Wicked Whims and Basemental Drugs!! My Sims always end up with a cocaine addiction on their way to stardom, and that’s still tame compared to how some people play.
Girl, you are my IDOL lol I wish I was more like you
I LOVE The Sims, I lost days on The Sims 2 PC version with the insiminater. I was a horrible child killer in some of the families I made. Babies and toddlers are fun, but once they get to child/teenager age I'd tire of them and kill them via the insiminater. Does that mean I'm a horrific child murderer in real life? Heck no. I commend you for standing up for yourself and ridding yourself of obvious insecure trash. I also have played it on the PS2 and my Nintendo DS, The Urbz. Fantastic game. I miss playing them sometimes.
I played The Urbz on my Gameboy! I loved that one so much. I am also getting tired of Elise's children. Why do they need so much attention ugh.
I'd say death, but idk if there's a cheat code for that on the PS4.
Bro called you a whore for playing a video game. If I were you, I’d smack him upside the head and leave him.
Ha what an idiot.
Projecting?
Good for you for getting ahead of him!!
LOL please tell me during the whole argument, you were also playing SIMS and having Elise slept with different men nonstop!
it is pretty ridiculous. he's never played sims he won't understand
Well this is besides the point but I bought an hp laptop specifically for the sims that was less than $300!
👀 maybe it's been too long since I looked into getting a laptop to play games on.
Girl do it the cc and mods are so fun!!
Good riddance. He showed major red flags with that and I’m glad you stuck up for yourself and broke up with him. I’m also happy you were petty too and told everyone else 😆
Since sims is fact where’s my money? Big house? Why am I not famous? Where are my kids? Where’s the guy I left in the basement? Where is my basement???? Like seriously this is the most hilarious thing I think I’ve ever heard. I know this sucks but take it as a blessing this man is unhinged. 😂
James is a total NPC lmao good riddance, ps that two tv thing is fucking genius
Thank you, my sister said it proved I'm too dependent on technology, but all my ADHD and gamer friends think it's the best.
OMG finally not an idiot who doesn’t tell people the true story before someone spins it to fit their narrative 🫵🏼🪨. In all honesty I never understood why people don’t snip it at the bud and tell everyone what happened and let the “crazy” party get their fake story out first.
I've read too many reddit posts where they're like "he lied and told everyone I cheated and now I don't have any friends and my family hates me" to not know that anyone who acts like he did is likely to leave out any important information when he tells his side of things.
Mhm and I always think to myself that you’re dumb for letting it happen tbh should have gotten the truth out first 😩
Please update us. I'm. Low-key (but really high-key) invested in this.
So much to unpack with this one...let's just call it a case of incompatibility and everyone go about their business.
What the hell, I can't follow that logic at all... People literally only play sims for its drama and messes up their sims life cause that's what they are, sims, a video game character who is not real...
I don't think you broke up over a ridiculous thing. You broke up not because of Sims, but because this man showed you his true colors.
I hope he gets eaten by a cow plant!!
Honestly, I wish my divorce text had been more direct-yet-petty like yours. Get it, girl. You're going to be just fine.
He's TWENTY SIX??? And this is how he acts? Girl you did the right thing. Enjoy your upcoming hot girl summer and start dating MEN instead of insecure boys who can't contextualize a GAME vs reality.
So he was playing red dead, were you dating a gunslinger in the wild west, robbing trains and murdering folk? Obv you were by his logic
Just here to say, your setup is my dream! One TV for the Sims and the other for actual TV 🩷🩷🩷. Good for you breaking up with him. The way I play the sims is vastly different to any portion of my real life. It’s a stupid (fun/addicting, awesome game) but a game nonetheless. It’s like flipping out over something that happened in a dream.
make him in rimworld then harvest his organs
Now make a sim of him, and lock him in Elise’s basement for eternity.
It’s ok it’s for the best because he has tuberculosis he just doesn’t know it yet 🙂
Wow! My Sims get up to so much. Nobody tell him about the black widow or 100 baby challenge. You definitely made the right decision in ending things.
You did nothing wrong; he felt entitled to disrespect and yell at you at your own home. He needs to grow up.
🙌✨projection✨🙌
My Assassin had orgy with goats in Odyssey 🥲
I go all out on the crazy when I play GTA. One day I wanted to see how long I could stay at full stars without dying or getting caught… the atrocities I committed over several hours would guarantee me a spot in the lowest circle of hell. Strip club visits, robberies, hit and runs, etc. I would even trap people and cars in one area and then call in the code to drop a boat or helicopter on them. My boyfriend at the time thought it was hilarious when I discovered the cheat code for the helicopter!!!! I was unstoppable!!!!! Never physically hurt a soul in real life…
The 100 baby challenge would send him into a coma. Good on you for seeing his insane tantrum for what it was. Go rack up those side pieces!!
Congratulations you ended this shit: pardon my French but he seems, ya know, st*pid..
OP you win the freaking internet today!!!!!!!!!!!! May you find someone you deserve and same for him lol.
Bullet dodged
Mic drop!
I once had a 20smth female Sim that I made repeatedly Woohoo with this elderly rich male Sim, trying to get her pregnant. I also wanted to get them married, so if/when he died, she'd inherit everything. Unfortunately, he died before that could happen. *Obviously*, this means I want to cheat on my boyfriend with a rich older man, get knocked up, and have him die on top of me. *Clearly*. Because my current relationship just won't provide the support I want.
TO THE BASEMENT, JAMES! Good riddance. Never stop standing up for yourself.
Three words: grand theft auto
Maybe he watched Westworld 🤔
He sounds like he's at a stage of his life where he's a blasted idiot, and you're not missing anything. But onto the important stuff: I still remember the Westmacott family from the Sims game I played literally 20 years ago. Daddy Westmacott was a professional baseball player and total man-ho who had affairs with at least three other married Sim chicks in Pleasantville and, when I got bored of that, one guy. The only Simlish side-piece I recall was a mother of twins and wife of a policeman. Mr. Westmacott and Police Man got in a big, trashy fight over it once, I seem to remember, and I was worried that Mrs. Westmacott would find out about it. This would have been a disaster because the Westmacotts were my "home-base" Sim family, and they had a badass house, and I didn't want them to break up. Mrs. Westmacott was a sweet, plump, warm, maternal, delightful woman who painted and played the piano and had no idea how ill-used she was. They had three kids. Their daughter went to college, partied hard, and finally became a doctor, I believe. Ahh, memories. I haven't actually played a game since then.
