Talk:List of Easter eggs in The Sims

I also found an airplane.

Am I being completely blind?
I added some information about real life animals in the paitings folder but I'd like to know if anyone has seen images of real life animals within the game, whether it be in buy mode as a painting etc. 18:07, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * With sufficient creativity skill, we can paint custom painting in easel. The picture of the animals you mentioned are for that custom painting purpose. This is a new feature from Pets. Seasons, Bon Voyage, and FreeTime also add new pictures in that folder for more custom paintings. In fact, we can also add our own pictures in the folder. Nikel23 09:22, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think I have heard things about real life images in other places as well, can't remember where though. --W H  (talk) 09:34, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Then I guess it's obvious that my Sims aren't very creative. :P Removed the part about the files. 10:00, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * lol GG. FYI, we can also put our own video for TV channels and custom music in available radio station. But I don't really know how since I don't care putting custom things to my game. Nikel23 13:00, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess we should leave the article as it is for now. Though I may experiment with the game and see if I can get a Sim to paint a trollface. :P 13:06, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

I'm completley sure that when a sim tells a ghost story (I don't know which expansion pack.) in Sims 3, Morcubus from MySims will randomly appear. I was watching a legacy and he poofed up when the sims told ghost stories, and he was in MySim form, not a real sim.207.119.0.43 02:12, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

Removed Easter Egg
A while back I posted in the Homages to Art and Literature section a reference to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll but now it has been deleted. I would like to know if someone could tell me why it was deleted or at least the edit summary for the edit that removed it. Additionally, if it was deleted because I had no reference it was because I experienced it in my game and rushed to post it. Also, if someone could restore it/put it back that would be great, thanks. (I forgot my signiture and added it and this the day after I posted, I hope it's not a problem) O sry, i lost the crystal skull. 16:43, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * It would be quite difficult to track down which Easter egg was removed. Could you write it down again or specify when and/or what username you used to posted that Easter egg?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  11:17, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I cannot write it down again because it was one of those pop-ups in the top-right corner and I copied it word-for-word. I can describe how it happened, but I doubt it will help because the chances of being able to re-create it are pretty low. Also, I am pretty sure I posted it under Zacadoole1, but I might have forgot to log in and it was anonymous. Isn't there a way to see previous versions of a page, though? I can't seem to figure it out. O sry, I lost the crystal skull. user:Zacadoole1 15:08, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've seen your contributions, and it seemed that you added it as an unregistered user. There is a log for the history in here, but it's really long and I can't check each of the revision to see which trivia was removed.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:11, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, wait. I've got it. Since you just replied with your IP, I saw the contribution and the Easter egg! It's here:

"When your sim is investigating a tunnel dug by a miner you can get a message saying 'SIM saw an officious looking white rabbit running down a tunnel, but decided to leave that business for some other sucker.' This is a reference to the book 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll."


 * ::::Not sure if I could add it though. At least now I've retrieved it.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:14, July 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well Nikel, that was fast. I got an email notification while I was writing this and refreshed and there your post was. Twice. ;-) I found the edit where I added it but I didn't look for the one that removed it (yet). It was under my IP address. The easter egg is:
 * When your sim is investigating a tunnel dug by a miner you can get a message saying "SIM saw an officious looking white rabbit running down a tunnel, but decided to leave that business for some other sucker." This is a reference to the book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll.
 * (But you already knew that) Do you (or anyone else) have any objections to me adding it again? O sry, I lost the crystal skull. user:Zacadoole1 15:26, July 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * No, that's okay. But if you don't mind, I'll do this for you. Otherwise, add this instead; I've changed a little of the wordings.

"When the Sim is investigating a tunnel dug by a miner, sometimes a message will pop up saying '(Sim) saw an officious looking white rabbit running down a tunnel, but decided to leave that business for some other sucker.' This is a reference to the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll."

 * Okay, thanks for the help. I'll add that revised version. (Shoot, just realized I didn't sign that last post, I'm going to now) O sry, I lost the crystal skull. user:Zacadoole1 15:26, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm also going to add "In The Sims 3," to the beginning of it so it is not unclear (ex. people who don't have TS or TS2 won't know what game it's in because they don't know if miners and whatnot are in those games). O sry, I lost the crystal skull. user:Zacadoole1 15:28, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, can you post it Nikel? I can't get the italics/formatting off (I don't know if you can, though) O sry, I lost the crystal skull. user:Zacadoole1 15:33, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

Okay then. I'll do that.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:34, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

Conserving images
Just in case the following images aren't marked as unused, I'll post them here. File links aren't considered "used," only if they are actually shown as pictures. :/  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  10:44, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Movie Poster References
In "The Sims 3: University Life", I think I may have found an Easter egg with some of the various movie posters at the movie theatre on the campus of Sims University. I don't have the screen captures, but I know what I saw on there:


 * A movie poster of a face wearing a baseball catcher's mask, which could be a reference to the 2009 remake of the horror movie, Friday the 13th, where some posters and disc covers of the movie simply show Jason Voorhees' infamous hockey mask on the front


 * A movie poster of a female against a white background and wearing white facial paint with black facial paint around her eyes and running down to her cheeks and wearing and a small tiara upon her head, that may clearly be a reference to the movie poster for Black Swan


 * A movie poster of a near-silhouetted robotic figure from the chest up and eyes glowing, beside a man with two other men below, which may be a reference to the movie poster for Iron Man 2

If anyone else could possibly verify this, that would be great! Thank you!
