Still, I can’t help but wonder: Why do they look like this specifically? Is it preference? Beauty standards? Neither? Is it bad that my reaction was ‘why are these so small?’ (Yes, probably. I had the same sort of questions running through my head while looking at the penis models that some modders have come up with, like this one:īut penis mods like these ones seem rarer than ones for breasts or vaginas, for whatever reason. Obviously, these types of musings aren’t limited to breasts. Having a realistic butt may not be as important as having realistic breasts to some people, it seems! It’s also worth noting that some mods only change the sims’s upper or lower body - meaning some people selectively care about more realistic sim bodies. To what degree do these mods reflect a modder’s personal preference? To what degree do they reflect societal expectations of what a perfect breast should look like, or standard conventions of beauty? It’s worth noting that some of these areolas are modelled after actual people, like models. The sim above is also one that exhibits a ‘darker’ vagina according to the modder, for the recrd. There are of course larger and darker areolas, but they seem to be rare:
This last one is a modder’s attempt to make a ‘bigger’ areola - but, it’s still kind of on the small side. Sims modders, on this website at least, seem to have a preference for smaller, perfectly circular areolas, if not ones that almost blend in with the breast:Īttempts to make more ‘distinct’ ones look like this: Beyond that, there’s something particularly fascinating about how the modders choose to depict genitals and breasts. I mean, it’s not even called sex, even though we all know that’s what it is. The Sims isn’t sexy enough! Woohooing feels so conservative. What’s curious to me about these mods is that they reflect some of the userbase’s desire to eroticise the game beyond what the developers include.
In any case, you can view many of these mods here, in case you wanted to download them. The latter one, in conjunction with body hair, is important - sims still look a bit doll-like when it’s just genitalia without hair, though obviously that type of bodyscape might be someone’s particular preference. Hardcore Sims players may know about the wide variety of nudity mods that have popped up since the “no mosaic” mod - but in case you’re not caught up, there are now mods that let your sims have penises, vaginas, areolas, and even pubic hair.
