We’re all guilty of being a little wild with our antics in The Sims. From removing pool ladders, to orchestrating the suspicious disappearances of neighbours, and even romancing the Grim Reaper. But whenever we think we’ve hit the ceiling of our moral injustices, someone comes along to prove that, actually, you can always push further.<\/p>\n
One user, @u_m_a_m_i<\/a>, <\/span>took to X to reveal a creation they made 9 years ago in The Sims 4<\/a>, lovingly called “My Sweatshop Family,” in which a collection of hot dog suit-wearing adults were confined to a “factory” to churn out books and screenplays. The royalties were then used to fund the lavish lifestyle of a Sim “overseer.”<\/p>\n As you can see, one worker has snuck out into the ‘good part’ of the house and went to sleep in the nice room. I later lock them in to account for this. pic.twitter.com\/jLZExhS83J<\/a><\/p>\n — u m a m i (@u_m_a_m_i) May 11, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n The factory started off small; a room for all six beds, an area with only desks and cheap PCs, a kitchen, and two toilet\/shower rooms. The walls were a beautiful soul-crushed grey and paired with matching concrete to inspire the most creativity. One worker died within 20 minutes.<\/p>\n One of my slaves, Mopen, somehow died within twenty minutes. He was let off easy I guess. pic.twitter.com\/xk56G7s4aB<\/a><\/p>\n — u m a m i (@u_m_a_m_i) May 11, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n The workers were soon moved away from screenplays to focus on painting instead, as the profits were more generous. Eventually, the complex expanded to allow for a visitation center and a viewing platform for the overseer to keep tabs from their luxury pad. <\/p>\n Efforts were made to keep the Sim’s relatively functional. All had been given the ‘Neat’ Trait, though that failed to stop them from creating a worrying amount of mess. A maid was allowed to enter the factory, though she quickly turned mad. <\/p>\n I accidentally locked in my maid when she came to clean up all the crap these hotdogs have been making. She started going crazy and took her clothes off. pic.twitter.com\/ONJYHIh0iV<\/a><\/p>\n — u m a m i (@u_m_a_m_i) May 11, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n “I was facing a difficult problem. My slave-worker-hotdogs were aging at an alarming rate,” Umami said in one post. “I can buy the youth potion for my hot red haired mansion-baron, but these hotdogs have accomplished nothing in their lives besides painting and they didn’t accumulate enough skill points. So I made a procreation chamber with an observation room.” And thus, the cycle of workers was allowed to continue.<\/p>\n This is what a pregnant hotdog looks like. pic.twitter.com\/oCd1FsHIvw<\/a><\/p>\n\n
