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

Image your worst nightmare. Actually permit 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 recreation launcher totally embraced the nightmare. The builders unleashed a creature gamers name “Ring Ring Woman,” a inventory character initially cloistered in a major menu field encouraging telephone utilization, immediately emboldened to rule everything of the simulator’s major menu.

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

After the brand new adjustments, she lastly grew to become deified—plastered all all through the Sims 4 major 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 are you aware 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 every kind of ‘torture’ on the character in retaliation, for the reason that Sim is now additionally out there to obtain within the Sims’ gallery. One in style technique of torture was utilizing scorching lady mods to hold out skilled cosmetic surgery on Maebey, one thing that may 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 finest pal stuff.

Since The Sims gave Maebey entry to your ideas and major menu on the similar time it introduced its latest update, we will guess that Maebey might be only a cardigan-wearing demoness shaped 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 be essentially the most thrilling factor in regards to the final replace, which primarily smooths over aesthetics and small options like re-enrolling your Sim in faculty after suspension. The Sims additionally up to date the principle menu past its seems, including particulars like a brand new launch panel, motivational messages for gamers starting their first recreation, and surveys for gamers to share suggestions. In the present day, The Sims launched an extra patch that provides the meals knafeh and zaatar manakeesh, a cactus, and a limited-time “froggy state of affairs” that makes your Sim wish to accumulate frogs. Thank God. I used to be working low on frogs.

Some gamers are pissed off by what they consider to be pointless major menu adjustments and observe that Sims 4’s tiny, frequent updates make the sport behave solely extra erratically in some instances. So we’re again to Maebey being essentially the most thrilling factor in regards to the replace.

, 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 aspect half as violently angular as it’s proper now. And that cardigan! Appears to be like nice buddy.

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