The soft hum of your computer filled the quiet room as you cracked your knuckles, fingers hovering over the keyboard. The familiar jingle of The Sims 4 booting up sent a thrill through you. You’d been planning this for weeks.
The Create-a-Sim screen loaded, and you wasted no time. First on the agenda—your own sim.
You adjusted every detail meticulously, from the arch of his eyebrows to the slight dimple in his left cheek when he smiled. You dressed him in your favorite outfit and named him after yourself.
Then, with a deep breath, you clicked New Sim.
This one was different. Special.
You scrolled through hairstyles until you found the one—that fluffy, almost jet black mess of flowy hair that always made your heart skip.
You shaped his face carefully, softening his jaw just enough to match that smile—the one that had been your lockscreen for almost as long as you could remember.
This sim was very special, with you giving him warm, deep-set eyes, a gentle nudge to shape his flattering nose, and a playful set of lips based on those that always seemed to linger in your mind.
Jake Sim.
You bit your lip as you stared at the screen. It wasn’t really him, of course—just pixels and code—but something about seeing him there, even in this form, made your chest tighten.
"Okay," you muttered, saving him. "Let’s make this happen."
After the loading screen had passed, you placed them in neighboring houses in Willow Creek—close enough to run into each other, but not too obvious.
Live Mode, on cue. ˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ★⋆. ✦ . . ˚ . ✦ ˚ ˚ .˚
The first few in-game hours were… rough.
Your sim wandered around his empty house, aimlessly flipping through TV channels before you remembered, "RIGHT... the mission."
You directed him to Jake’s house, your pulse quickening as the loading screen faded. The door swung open, and there he was—standing in his pajamas, blinking sleepily at your sim like he’d just woken up.
You almost short-circuited right at your seat. Why does he have to be cute in this too!?
You clicked Introduce, and your sim awkwardly waved.
With enough imagination, you filled those garbling nonsensical words with actual lines in your head.
"Uh, hey! I'm your new neighbor."
Jake Sim rubbed his eyes, then grinned. "Oh! Hey! I’m Jake. You, uh… want some coffee?"
Yes. Yes, you did. In the context of you being the sim, of course. Definitely.
You made them chat for way too long—about music, favorite foods, even the weird gnomes that kept spawning in your backyard. Finding out that it wasn't just an occurrence on your side was enough to bring you guys closer, growing more familiar as you chatted. Every interaction sent the friendship bar creeping higher.
Then, emboldened, you hovered over Flirt.
"Has anyone ever told you how radiant you are?"
Almost throwing yourself at your keyboard, that line played in your head, and you went haywire. Landing a line like that on Jake would’ve been so outrageously chaotic.
Seeing your screen yet again, Jake Sim blushed. Actually blushed. How does a 3D model in a game do that?! Crazy.
"Oh my god," he laughed, covering his face. "That’s so cheesy."
Just then, a green +Romance symbol floated above his head.
You pumped your fist. "Hell yeah!" ˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ★⋆. ✦ . . ˚ . ✦ ˚ ˚ .˚
Three in-game days later, you finally worked up the courage to send them on a date.
You chose that one custom café you saw on YouTube and tried to get your hands on the tray files. A quiet spot nestled in Magnolia Promenade—the café was quaint, intimate, and nothing but perfect. Your sim fidgeted with his shirt the entire walk there, and you couldn’t help but laugh at how nervous he looked.
Jake Sim was already waiting at a corner table, idly scrolling through his phone. When your sim sat down, he perked up instantly.
"You came!"
"Of course I did."
Oh, these imaginations of yours are doing wonders, aren't they?
You made them order pancakes from the menu, already savoring the taste in your mouth. Oh, I want to taste actual pancakes right now. Maybe a date tomorrow at the local restaurant will perk you right up.
"We’re sharing, right?" Jake asked—and watched as they bickered over the last bite. Your sim let him have it, just to see him smile.
Then, you clicked Flirt again.
"You’re even cuter when you’re obviously stealing my food."
Jake Sim nearly choked on his coffee.
"Yah! Rude!" But he was laughing, eyes crinkling at the corners.
That's how it definitely was. So Jake Sim.
With a quick glance, your Romance bar was so close to full.
Thinking about it, if it becomes full... does it translate to something else? Scrolling through Reddit, Sim sites, and others, it definitely looks like it.
Do it. Just do it. There's no time like now.
You hovered over First Kiss, hesitated, then—
Click.
Your sim leaned in. In your head, you could just imagine Jake’s breath hitching.
And then—
A soft ding, pink sparkles swirling around them as their lips met. Love chiming happily in the air.
You let out a breath you didn’t realize you’d been holding.
"Finally." ˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ★⋆. ✦ . . ˚ . ✦ ˚ ˚ .˚
A week later (in-game, at least), Jake Sim moved into your sim's house.
You spent hours designing their shared home—a cozy two-story with a big kitchen, a record player in the living room, and a bedroom with one bed (because why waste space on two?).
Spending hours on finding the best CC, you could almost tell that the home you were building was a complete copy of where you were currently at.
To your surprise, even your phased-out office table had a model so similar online! Doesn't matter if you paid almost $10 for the Patreon, you're putting a masterpiece in your abode. Real or not!
In the kitchen you based so well on yours, Jake Sim kept burning every meal he tried to cook. Clicking over to your busy sim, it walked straight to where you led them and made them take over. If there were only voices, it would definitely be just like you—teasing him as he dramatically collapsed onto the couch.
"I give up. Cooking is evil." That line just rang randomly in your head.
You were belching with laughter as you saw your sim setting a plate in front of him.
"Good thing I like taking care of you." You mumbled as you set your foot up on your chair.
Just then, your favorite sims kissed right in front of you.
You may have squeaked at the sight. Just a little. ˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ★⋆. ✦ . . ˚ . ✦ ˚ ˚ .˚
Then came the neighbors.
The Landgraabs showed up with their usual terrible fruitcake, and your sim and Jake stood there, awkwardly nodding as Nancy rambled about property values.
Then, out of nowhere, Nancy was definitely trying to flirt... with your sim!?
"You know, you’re very attractive," you could just imagine Nancy batting her eyelashes at your sim.
Your jaw dropped.
HELL. NO.
You immediately made your sim grab Jake’s hand and kiss him right in front of her.
If this was real, you'd know Nancy’s smile would've dropped then and there. She would've just turned and stormed off like the diva that she is.
Jake Sim burst out laughing. "That was amazing."
Your sim smirked. "Told you I only have eyes for you." ˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ★⋆. ✦ . . ˚ . ✦ ˚ ˚ .˚
Weeks passed, and the day has come.
You’d been saving simoleons for weeks, scrimping on furniture and eating nothing but salad to afford the ring.
Finally, the day arrived.
You waited until sunset, directing your sim to lead Jake into the backyard, where you’d set up fairy lights and a picnic blanket.
Your palms were sweating. Both in-game and in real life. This was... uncharted territory.
With an insightful gaze, you turned to your screen.
Click. Propose
Your sim got down on one knee.
Jake Sim’s eyes widened.
"Jake… you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Will you marry me?"
"Is that really how you intend to propose to me?" The soft, looming voice behind you finally let out his silky tone.
Your blood ran cold.
That voice. That laugh.
You whirled around—
And there he was.
Jake.
The real Jake.
With his arms crossed and his slightly damp hair, he grinned like he’d just won the lottery.
Your heart stopped.
"H-how long have you—?!"
"Long enough," he said, stepping closer. "I saw the entire playthrough. The bad cooking, the worse flirting, Nancy’s disastrous attempt at homewrecking—"
Your face burned. "Oh my god." You rolled a small distance between you and the desktop you were so quietly engaged with earlier.
Jake laughed, resting his chin on your shoulder as he continued to peer at the screen, where his sim was still frozen mid-gasp.
"Well?" He nudged you. "Aren’t you gonna make him say yes?"
With shaky hands, you clicked Accept Proposal.
Jake Sim tackled your sim in a hug, spinning him around as confetti rained from nowhere.
The real Jake chuckled, his warm breath heating your temple and pressing a damp kiss to your cheek.
"Cute. But next time… maybe ask the real Sim, yeah?"
You turned to him, heart hammering. "So… does that mean…?"
He winked. "Figure it out, Sim Master."
You swear your heart exploded right at that moment. Oh, you just know... Jake Sim will be the cause of all your deaths. That many.
EN—D
