My whole life now revolves around the Sims

If you’re not playing Sims 4, that’s recently gone on sale for £11.24, then what on earth are you using your quarantine time for?

This self-isolation period is not for wholesome development, baking and yoga. It’s a time to get your virtual self woohooing, building your dream house and putting your Sims in the pool and taking away the ladder and watching them drown. It’s fine, we’ve all done it.

Lots of people are already using Sims as the way to fill their time and the gateway to feeling like life is still real by experiencing it through the Sims. And there’s been a lot of memes created celebrating the best game there is, sorry Animal Crossing, but it’s just fact.

These are the funniest memes about playing the Sims:

1.Who would have thought Sims would have been a reflection of real life?

5. The woohoo look over the shoulder was a real mood

About to redownload The Sims. Now that I’ve moved out…playing will be a lot better because I won’t have to be looking over my shoulder for my parents every 5 seconds when my Sims are in the middle of ‘woohoo’ — Amelia Dimoldenberg (@ameliadimz) March 16, 2020
