You’ll want to read on for this story that’s both humorous and heartwarming!

I Caught My Wife Making Me In The Sims

My wife plays many different games, but one of her favorites is The Sims 4.

She swears up and down that she’s going to keep her Sims single and flirty with lots of steamy rendezvous and multiple relationships, but she always winds up in one or two “serious” relationships.

His wife takes her Sims characters quite seriously.

Once she’s settled on a partner for her Sim, she usually spends a while editing their appearance to mold them into the perfect romantic image.

She mostly edits cosmetic items—different outfits, hairstyles, jewelry, and facial hair if they’re a guy.

But then one day he notices something uncanny about one of them.

I walked in on her as she was editing her newest boyfriend and was struck by how many features he and I shared: same style of head and facial hair, similar facial structure, and a keenly familiar body shape.

It took me a moment to process what I was seeing but eventually I asked her if she was making me in the Sims.

When his wife finally realized, they both totally lost it.

She took a beat as she compared the two of us side by side and then let out an “Oh my god”.

We fell into a fit of teary-eyed laughter together.

Without a conscious thought, she had edited an existing Sim so that it looked eerily like me.

Now he’s extra invested in the rest of her play session.

I gave her a kiss and sat down beside her on the couch to watch as she continued to improve her Sim’s new boyfriend.

They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery.

I’m not sure if this counts as imitation, but I’ve never been so genuinely flattered by a partner before.

It’s just another reason in a long textbook of reasons why I love my wife.

Turns out, the digital world is just another place for love and weirdly accurate Sims.

What did Reddit think?

Some couples find each other both in the physical and the digital realm.

Some Sims users have a flair for the dramatic.

Not all Sims imitation stories have a happy ending…

Other people take imitating their partners beyond the Sims.

True love follows you everywhere, even into The Sims 4.
