Both flags at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

So what would that be, a brown flag?

My partner did this to see how our children would look. Thankfully the generated spawn were wildly inaccurate.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Hopefully the language they speak is more intelligible too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Yeah they're pretty well spoken. Although they often use sentences that are part English and part Norwegian. So it can sound weird if you're not used to it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago

The one for me

My sister found my Sims game where I was married to my neighbor (her friend). My character was a biker with a leather jacket and an American flag bandana.

I had forgotten but now I must spend the next hour curled up in a ball, whimpering.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago

Lmao. Did your neighbour find out?

Someone already answered, but also here's the full interaction rather than just America guy:

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's from YuGiOh abridged.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Pretty sure this was the on-air version.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 22 hours ago

Too close for comfort.

OP should text their sister, bring up this memory, and then ask for her friend's number.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 16 hours ago

Why would he need to ask his sister for his own wifes number?

If you get married in the game, you get married for real. Everyone knows that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago

I vote red flag, since it's sound like something I would do. (Definitely something I did in secondary school.)

[–] [email protected] 23 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Depends, was this all her game, or did she find my existing game and insert herself into it?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Which is the good one out of those?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I'm just happy she can use a computer to that degree.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

She's hacked your home security system, and replaced your alarm with "never gonna give you up.mp3"

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (2 children)

Red flag. I don't wanna date people who take the Sims seriously.

Edit: if our Sims are slaves to some mangled abomination then it's a green flag.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like you're taking the Sims pretty seriously ;)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago

Duh. I'm trying to collect as many red flags as possible. They're very pretty. uwu

[–] [email protected] 24 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

What if our sims live in a swimming pool with no ladder?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

That's a fucking mood right there.

(Also it depends on which Sims game and what the goal is. If they're doing it in the Sims 3 or Sims 4 and trying to drown our Sims, then I'll call them a scrub, tell them to gitgud and then block them. Unless there's also a wall around the pool. Otherwise, 10/10)

Edit: running a cult in the Sims is also a green flag.

Which avatar is the most detailed and accurate?

Mine - most likely to be left behind chained up in a basement.

Theirs - most likely to be left behind at a cocktail party.

The maid's - most likely to be left behind in a threesome.

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well yeah, presumably for any given threesome, the pov is going to be two behinds at some point, but it doesn't matter if you're the left behind or the right behind or long as everybody's enjoying themselves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Contrary to what you might expect, the left behind tends to get a bit more direct attention than the right, roughly 30% more time, independent on total duration. This is because for right handed people, the left is more awkward to engage with on the side, so making the left behind the main behind with the right behind by their right hand feels more natural and comfortable.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago

Definitely cute.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry, I only date women who would prefer to wear the French maid outfit themselves.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago

Like....as a fetish, or do you want to date your maid so you don't have to pay?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

I don’t want kids, but I would take her interest in me as a compliment.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Closet door suddenly opens and a full sized silicon sex doll resembling themselves falls out ... voice activation turns on as the doll lies face down on the floor ... "That's it baby, let's make more babies, that's the stuff" .... sex doll vibrates vigorously on the floor

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Gawd that reminds me I used to base my Sims off the names on the back of cd cases.

I'm sorry eazy e that I had your widow in a house full of bone thugs, I didn't know who she was

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

If you’re red/green colorblind:

  • it doesn’t matter
  • it’s hard to quickly tell the overall mood of your sims

...anyone with a housemaid is a red flag...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago

My uncle and aunt have one for years, they're also old and need someone to take care of the daily chores, and treat their housemaid good to the point she refused to go back to her country. Is it a redflag? Not sure about you, but it isn't in my book.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Oh, but is it not better to not have to do housework? If you could hire one, wouldn't that be preferrable?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

We hired a maid to come clean once. I was so ashamed that I cleaned for 2 days before they came. I still feel gross. I'm so sorry lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Oh, that is sweet. I suppose I kind of get the reason why you did feel ashamed, but I do not think this way generally. I might feel pity for someone like that, but hardly guilt, since if they took the job out of self interest, it would be worse for them if I didn't offer it. The only thing you can do to help them then is give them the money they want without making any demands of them, but all wage labour functions in such a way, that it offers a monetary reward for time and labour, it is hardly worse to work as a maid than to work in a factory. If you want to do charity, you do not have to fire your maid.

I am not quite sure: did you feel guilty because you was uncomfortable with hiring another person to do your bidding, or because you thought it was excessive to hire them and so it is wrong because making someone work to fulfil such an unnecessary need is unethical?

But I do not mean to say you were wrong to feel guilty about this. I am just sharing my thoughts on it, and I think that your sentiment was noble, in a way.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

If you have the wealth to afford a housemaid, then any way of spreading that wealth to others in a non-manipulative way is good.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 hours ago

I see your point, but asking someone to value someone over themselves in such a way is a bit much. Charity to such a degree(giving away your money whenever you want to spend it on unnecessary labour/goods) is for saints.

A lifestyle of bourgeois decadence is something that is difficult to refuse. Are you sure you would be able to?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

No, why would I want someone I only have a business relationship with in my house touching my stuff? I can clean my own toilet thanks
