I know lots of people who are big fans of the life-simulation video game called The Sims. This probably comes as no surprise as the franchise is the best-selling in videogame history. Apprently, this “digital dollhouse” is a blast to play — something I haven’t managed to try yet b/c of my fascination with explosions and fighting aliens. However, we thought it was cool to hear that the latest version of the Sims now has a “vegetarian” option for avatars.
One of Ecorazzi’s Twitter rockstars, Tracie Boyle, recently picked up a copy of the game and gushed to us when she found the new VEG feature. “Under the ‘lifestyles’ choices, you just have to pick ‘vegetarian’,” she writes. “Then when you select your favorite food, they give you a ton of veggie friendly choices – including veggie burgers and tofu dogs. When you read the description of a vegetarian and what types of food they eat, it even says that if your Sim eats meat, it will get sick.”
We think that’s rad. At this rate, we’re hoping “vegans”, “raw foodies”, and “third-order vegans” (eating nothing that casts a shadow) get their day in the digital realm in the next version. Check out some screenshots below — and Happy gaming!
I smiled when I saw that on The Sims! My sim is growing up to be a vegetarian chef
I think this is a good sign on how prevelent and common vegetarianism is now. That’s a great sign! I first heard about the vegetarian sims in the sims 3 last summer. I bought the game Tuesday and I love it!
“vegetarian sims never choose to eat meat and doing so causes them to quickly become ill.”
because they dont eat meat they become ill ?:-P
@ herwin, that’s what I thought the first time I read it, when i re-read it I noticed that vegetarian Sims become ill if they eat meat.
Oooohhh, I totally thought they meant that being vegetarian made your Sim ill more frequently. I thought that was rather odd because when you’re playing the actual game and click on their traits it says that vegetarians live longer. Pretty cool!
