Sims 4 Twitter
It has been pretty quiet over at The Sims 4 HQ over the last few weeks. The April Laundry List has been released, but there has been no confirmation on a date for the next Sims 4 base game update.
The Inside Maxis live stream in March revealed some snippets of what is coming to the game in the future, but with no road map for upcoming content – and no plans to release a Sims 4 road map for 2021 – we are getting a little antsy.
I decided to do something different! Trying out some new software. Hope you like her! Full CC list available below! If you like my content please feel f. I see so many of these types of people lurking around Sims 4 channels like a bad smell and refusing to leave even though they make it very clear they hate Sims 4 and it's so annoying. Whilst writing this comment I refreshed twitter and the first thing that came up on the sims section is 'sims 3 sims were superior!' , it's obsessive. Welcome to all NEW SIMMERS joining us on the Sims forum! 🎉 Have fun on the forum and please make sure you check out the forum rules and the rules about necroposting. The latest tweets from @thesimcommunity.
As it turns out, there might have been a wee hint on the official Spanish Sims Twitter account that we missed. At the time of writing, the tweet was still there, so maybe we are looking too much into things. Fallout 4 enb not working.
Sims 4 body hair speculation: A leak from Spanish Sims Twitter?
On 16 April, the official Spanish Twitter account for The Sims posted a message which translates (according to the internet’s auto-translation tools) to something along the lines of “you have eaten”.
But it is not the content of the text so much as the screenshots that caught the attention of eagle eyed Simmers.
The arm that is visible in the screenshot seems to have body hair on it – a feature not currently available in The Sims 4 base game. Not without using custom content anyway.
While The Sims 4 does not officially support custom content, it is not unusual for the team to use it in their games and the official accounts do sometimes share player’ screenshots that make use of CC.
So, while it might just be one of those things, there is one other reason why we think there might be something in this theory.
Earlier in April, Luumia Sims, a CC creator who was also part of the team that put together the 21st-anniversary update for The Sims 4, announced that they’d joined EA as a cinematic artist for The Sims.
While we are sure the development of assets take much longer than a few weeks and it is probably just a coincidence, it is worth noting that Luumia Sims is a CC creator who has made some incredible body hair additions to The Sims 4.
And, just for good measure, in the post about joining The Sims team, Luumia did write: “Fingers crossed you’ll get to see some of it in a trailer or screenshot.”
It was also quite notable that Spanish Sims Twitter shared two screenshots – with one a close crop of the arm. Sure, it was probably more to focus on the hand sign, but you know, when it’s a slow news day, you gotta do what you gotta do.

What happens when Sims Twitter decides it is time to stand up for all the NPCs missing from the game? That it is time to raise awareness for the justice our favs deserve and campaign for them in the same way that they did for the return of Bonehilda?
From Chip the Dancer to the Social Bunny, the burglar, police, babies that are not objects and even cars. Yes, even a taxi, a horse, the Llama Mascot a colour wheel, Anges Crumplebottom, and so many more… Sims Twitter is here for a revolution.
In case you are a bit confused, let’s take a little step back for a minute and start at the beginning of sorts. Over the last few days, something curious has been happening over on the Twitter streets. And we bow the High Priestess of Lore, Plumbella, for spotting this first.
Multiple Twitter accounts have started to appear over the last few days, all dedicated to all the things missing from The Sims 4. [Sidenote: We have started a little list over here to try and keep up with them all (we’ll be updating accordingly… if you see an account we’re missing, tag @mspr1nt to add the account).]
Sims Community
The Sims Revolution rallying rattle seems to have been inspired by the OG herself, Bonehilda. That Twitter account popped up back in 2019 and has been calling for justice for the beloved NPC ever since. This year, Bonehilda was finally conjured up again – sans her coffin, of course.
The Skeletal Saviour played it coy in response to the surge of accounts, which cover a very broad range of some of the things players feel are lacking in The Sims 4. Unlock car with cell phone mythbusters. Now, we do hope that you can tell by the tone of this piece that this is all being done very much with tongues located in cheeks, skeletal or otherwise.
Downwithpatreon Sims 4 Twitter
Many of the accounts, as we have mentioned above, are dedicated to the NPCs that The Sims 4 are yet to see – even as the game heads of its seventh year of existence. Those include the Genie, Agnes Crumplebottom, burglars (which the The Sims 4 team has previously said they are ‘thinking about), the Hula Zombie, Llama Mascot and Chip the Dancer, amongst others.
Other accounts are somewhat more general – and include things like freeing the babies from being objects, wishes for the return of certain iconic objects from the original Sims game, a colour wheel (for which there already is a mod) as well as some of the in-depth gameplay features and best expansion packs from Sims games past.
Accounts like Sims Memories even include some wonderful satirical snapshots like the one below, which reads: “The revolution is real! I’m sure The Sims Team will never forget this revolution, but will EA ever add any of the features we’re fighting for into the game?…I don’t think…”
The list of these accounts seem to be growing by the hour and also include a series of accounts dedicated to the generations of the game’s iconic families (which a Simmer did a fantastic job of reviving in this Sims 4 base-game friendly save file).
Sims 4 Twitter Mod
Nobody knows who is behind any of these accounts – or who is behind the Bonehilda account – or how how long they will survive before Twitter decides to boot them off the platform. Optimists, though, might just be hoping that this is all part of a spectacular marketing campaign which will culminate with one heck of a surprise on 25 February, when The Sims 4 is due to unveil a surprise gift – for the community, by the community – to mark the occasion of the franchise’s 21st birthday. Until then, Viva La Revolution!
