Using The Sims 4 to Recreate the Show ‘Friends’

Friends having dinner on Sims

Sims 4, recently released by EA Maxis, isn’t that different from the previous installations in the series of life simulators. Better graphics, better social interactions. That’s it. You either love the game or you don’t.

Is this important to the world? In a way, yes. Friends has been off the air for a very long time, but re-runs are everywhere, and people still haven’t grown tired of the show.

It’s also an excellent way to get people who aren’t that in-love with the video game by trying a different appeal. And it would be fun controlling the lives of the six Friends, at least on a computer screen.

Sims 4 Glitch Gives You a Demon Baby

The Sims 4 was released a few days ago and this is the first major glitch to be discovered. Demon babies. Do they rotate their heads 360 degrees and spit pea soup at you? I have no idea, but look at those claws! They are even scary in the videos.

Is this really a glitch or is this evil bubbling to the surface of the Sim world? Check out the videos.(There is some NSFW language, because HOLY $^&#).
