Have you found "easter eggs" in the game? #1 |
| Lemon&Lime |
Have you ever noticed the little jokes, references to history, and mythological references in the Sims2? For example, there is a statue in a house in downtown - the house of Fallen Trees - of a woman, I believe it is called The Grey Lady or something similar. In the item description, it details the story of the woman in the statue, and ends with something like "and that is why no toddler or baby can die in fire." I loved this quirky comment, which provides a supernatural explanation for something in the game which is not how things are in real life. So, has anyone else noticed something in the Sims2 which you may not notice at first glance? Feel free to provide pictures! (But please only when required). Be it in an item description, a Maxis building, family tree, a Sim's memory, a pop-up or mix them all together to provide a fuller explanation of what happened... Tell us about it here, fellow easter egg hunters! |

Here's one I noticed a long time ago. The description of the Will Lloyd Wright Dollhouse: "This marvel of dollhouse design is meant for children to act out fantasies of controlling little families. This incredible replica comes complete with amazingly realistic furniture and decorative items. Don't be surprised if hours upon hours are spent enjoying this little world." This seems to me like a reference to the game itself! |

To add onto Purple Paws' Easter Egg...'Dollhouse' was what the Sims was called when Wright pitched the idea to his superiors. |

Oh yeah, I had forgotten that! That certainly makes my comparison more valid then, doesn't it? |

One thing is that in the CAS for YAs, one of the pictures in the background is Will Wright. And once when I pressed "Random", a Sim that looked like Will Wright came up with the same face, but with the nerd outfit.

LOL Yes there are quite a few Will references in the game....one of the big rocks you can place in your Hoods is a Will Wright head, complete with glasses. You can see it in Strangetown...also the huge lot in Pleasantview is called Wright Way. |

LMAO!! I never noticed that tattoo before!!! That's so funny! XD Any of you remember the improbable whale statue??? It's a reference to a scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where a couple of missiles are very improbably turned into a bowl of petunias and a very surprised whale.

Hehe. I've never seen the film but I noticed that and I was like: O.o Agnes Crumplebottom is a distant relative of Cassandra Goth. I found a whole webpage discussing this subject before. She never got married, however, so Mrs Crumplebottom is not 'officially' by easter egg hunters considored to be a relative of the Goth's. |

Found this on eeggs "In the story for Pleasantville it says that it has been 25 years from the happenings of the original Sims game and Casandra Goth is grown and especially that Bella the wife of Mortimer has disappeared, but she has been found... First of all run The Sims 2. Then select the Pleasantville neighborhood to play in. When the town loads click on the "Decorations" button and then select the category with the rainbow and hot air balloon with the label "Effects." Now select the 'hot air balloon' and place it anywhere in the neighborhood. Exit "Decorations" mode by selecting the "Houses and Lots" mode or the "Families" mode. Find the hot air balloon that you just placed in the neighborhood and move and zoom in closely. You will see two people in the basket. Theres a lady in a red dress. Its Bella just as she looked in the original Sims game, but right next to her in the basket it appears to be a mystery man. Who could it be? " Didn't know that, I want to see it now |

I noticed a flying pig flying over Pleasantview yesterday, with strings dangling from it as if it had been unattached from somewhere. I guess its something that comes from OFB, I've just got that. |

Yeah, apparently that was in reference to when the creators were asked if they would ever make a pets expansion for the game like unleashed for TS1. their response was "when pigs fly".. and well.. after OFB we got Pets, so I guess they kept their word. |

What about the whole 'Bella' mystery? Did Maxis intend for something to happen (like her to appear, for her grave to be found somewhere, etc.) One of the Curious brothers in Strangetown has got engaged/in-a-relationship with the Strangetown Bella (I'm aware that there is more than one). Unfortunatly Mortimer died on my game so it is unlikely I can get them back together, as the Goth family is already huge and I don't want to ressurect some of the family even if it is to reunite them. |

Figgi - Maxis did not mean for anything special to happen with Bella. Even if you reunite them, they get no special memories, no graves appear, nothing...they won't even know eachother. Not to mention moving sims between 'hoods is dangerous business and can bork your game. That being said, I just remembered this little easter egg...one of the Maxis people must be a Harry Potter fan :p  |

Hehe I like that one GhanimaAtreides - that's one of the most common lights I use in middle-class Sim's bathrooms - and I never looked at the name! Edit: Today I was playing on my Royal Kingdom family, and when Queen Augusta was making some cereal (I really should move in a servant) I noticed this on the milk carton! Could it be Bella Goth?  (For some reason photobucket is making my pictures really really small. Anyone suggest an alternative?) |
