The Sims 4 Is Trolling All Of Its Gamers With Its Primary Menu

Image your worst nightmare. Actually enable your self to spherical out every grotesque element. Really feel your coronary heart race, then step again to mirror on what you’ve created. I’m guessing it’s not a Sim with a cellular phone, however one way or the other, developer Maxis has managed to show that innocuous picture right into a menace to Sims society.

On April 26, The Sims sport launcher absolutely embraced the nightmare. The builders unleashed a creature gamers name “Ring Ring Woman,” a inventory character initially cloistered in a predominant menu field encouraging cellphone utilization, out of the blue emboldened to rule the whole thing of the simulator’s predominant menu.

Ring Ring Woman had been spooking Sims 4 gamers since 2021, and there aren’t any specific the explanation why the builders determined to emphasise her now as a substitute of in earlier updates. She has been, nevertheless, slowly reworking into an inside joke within the Sims world, with even official Sims accounts sometimes invoking her existence.

After the brand new modifications, she lastly turned deified—plastered all all through the Sims 4 predominant menu, holding up her cellular phone in an impish taunt, her blue, clean eyes piercing yours.

“You aren’t hacked, it’s simply me!” reads a disclaimer on the backside of the menu. That doesn’t make it any higher, Ring Ring Woman. How have you learnt my IP deal with?!

Ring Ring Woman, or Callia Maebey, because the Sims 4 formally named her for yesterday’s replace, had seasoned Sims 4 warriors crying and performing all types of ‘torture’ on the character in retaliation, for the reason that Sim is now additionally out there to obtain within the Sims’ gallery. One widespread methodology of torture was utilizing sizzling woman mods to hold out professional cosmetic surgery on Maebey, one thing that can undoubtedly put together her for a future profession in tufted rug modeling.

If non-consensual nostril jobs aren’t actually your factor, the Twitter account for the Sims Group web site additionally famous what enjoyable it’s to pressure Maebey to “dance in her own piss whereas stranded above lethal sharks till she handed out from the heatwave.” Nothing bizarre, simply typical greatest pal stuff.

Since The Sims gave Maebey entry to your ideas and predominant menu on the identical time it introduced its latest update, we are able to guess that Maebey might be only a cardigan-wearing demoness fashioned to reinvigorate buzz round Sims 4 and present the Sims 4 group that EA is aware of what goes on inside it.

To her credit score, Maebey can also be probably the most thrilling factor in regards to the final replace, which primarily smooths over aesthetics and small options like re-enrolling your Sim in school after suspension. The Sims additionally up to date the principle menu past its seems to be, including particulars like a brand new launch panel, motivational messages for gamers starting their first sport, and surveys for gamers to share suggestions. As we speak, The Sims launched an further patch that provides the meals knafeh and zaatar manakeesh, a cactus, and a limited-time “froggy situation” that makes your Sim need to gather frogs. Thank God. I used to be operating low on frogs.

Some gamers are annoyed by what they imagine to be pointless predominant menu modifications and word that Sims 4’s tiny, frequent updates make the sport behave solely extra erratically in some circumstances. So we’re again to Maebey being probably the most thrilling factor in regards to the replace.

You understand, the extra I stare into her monster eyes, the extra I really feel for her, the extra I start to…actually perceive her. I’d by no means gruesomely tear you limb from limb like another gamers, Maebey. Not so long as you retain your facet half as violently angular as it’s proper now. And that cardigan! Appears nice buddy.

However I’ll by no means get an opportunity to actually know Maebey—The Sims scrubbed her from predominant menus only a day after she was allowed to dominate them. You don’t know factor ‘til it’s gone.
