** Sims 4 is stated to take place in a different universe than previous games i.e there is no Flamenco or Nighat.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


Hence their UncannyValley appearances, [[MotherOfAThousandYoung large number of children]], and ability to [[GameBreakingBug corrupt the entire world]] to obliteration. In the same vein, the Critturs are [[AnimalisticAbomination Animalistic Abominations]], although it’s more subtle given they aren’t nearly as ugly and only have three puppies.

SimCity (which is set in the same universe, as evidenced by the Landgraabs) has alien attacks as a potential tragedy. The Grunts, the most prominent military family in the franchise, is known for their hatred of aliens. The last stage of the Military career in TheSims3 is Astronaut, meaning the SimNation wants its most capable soldiers to be in space, and the GBA/DS version of Sims 2 not only has an alien invasion plot but an adult Tank Grunt who was injured in war. There are plenty of motives too; years of Sims being abducted and sexually assaulted by Pollination Technicians are bound to cause some conflict.

And Sims 4, albeit in a different timeline, brings another evidence: the fact that aliens now have the ability to disguise as humans. Clearly something terrible must've happened between their race and the Sim race to lead them into hiding.

''VideoGame/TheSims4'' has an "S-pop" radio station, and the fact it needs to be distinguished from regular Simlish pop implies that it's in a different language in-universe. Furthermore, the S-pop songs only use sounds that exist in real Japanese; let's call this language Simpanese. There are also plenty of Simpanese signs around Mt. Komorebi. Of course, all Sims use the same library of Simlish voice clips, but that's for the sake of development convenience.

Sims really aren’t human, they’re, well, Sims. So if the blur is removed, the reason they [[BarbieDollAnatomy aren’t anatomically correct]] isn’t just the developers not wanting to render genitals in a T-rated game, Sims [[NonHumansLackAttributes actually don’t have them]]. The [[GRatedSex Woo-Hoo]] actions literally consist of them simply getting in bed together ([[MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces or the shower, or a closet, or bush, or wherever they do it]]) and contorting weirdly because [[BizarreAlienReproduction that is how their species reproduces]]. Also, there’s no need for birth control, given that their species [[FantasyContraception has the ability to consciously turn their fertility on and off]], hence “Woo-Hoo” and “Try for Baby” being different options without the need to purchase any form of birth control.

So what you're saying is that ''The Sims'' is Film/TheMatrix (of sorts) and the player is an AI/Machine. Well that's an inversion.

The reason why game mechanics imply it is a Dystopia (at least according to some previous WMGs) [[AntiClimax is simply the games not having the capacity to implement mechanics that would run counter to the supposed "evidence" it's a Dystopia]]. Likewise, the reason The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 have less mechanics (and thus seem more dystopian) than The Sims 3 (which is a prequel to them), is also because [[TechnologyMarchesOn The Sims 1 and 2 were developed on absolute dinosaurs of programs compared to the Sims 3, and thus didn't have the power to implement tools The Sims 3 had]].

When Sims are acting, during their performance there’s the option to do “risky” or “safe” versions of the scene. If you choose “Risky Tell Joke” or “Risky Give Speech”, the Sims are ad-libbing in subtle jokes that really aren’t appropriate for the show or movie’s target audience. Of course, since it’s all in Simlish, the player has no idea what subtle jokes are being snuck in to the ([[ShowWithinAShow in universe]]) otherwise family-friendly show or movie they’re performing.

She married Flamenco after Nighat passed away from old age, and then became the matriarch of the family after he passed away too. It would explain why she seems too young to have given birth to them.
