List of Easter eggs in The Sims

An Easter egg is a message hidden in the object code of a program, movie, book, CD, DVD, or video game as a joke, intended to be found by persons disassembling or browsing the code.

There are many Easter eggs in The Sims Series. Some of these are hidden in the actual game play and others are hidden in the code.

The Sims

 * The Yeti from the Vacation expansion pack appears on the TV screen if the cartoons channel is selected. If Superstar is installed, a Betty Yeti film-poster is added to the game.
 * In the neighborhood screen, the Loch Ness Monster occasionally appears in the water for a few seconds. The monster also appears in Downtown and Vacation Island. It can be forced by typing the cheat "nessie", although Unleashed needs to be installed before the player can force it.
 * There are several references to the game's creator, Will Wright, including the doll house and the "Whack-A-Will" game from Vacation.
 * The baby doll souvenir from Vacation bears a striking resemblance to the default look of babies in The Sims 2.
 * The "rosebud" cheat might be a reference to the movie Citizen Kane.
 * The "klapaucius" cheat might be a reference to Stanisław Lem's book The Cyberiad and one of its protagonists, the constructor Klapaucius.Hiddenpicturelauncher.PNG
 * If there is a Christmas tree, fireplace, and a table with cookies in the same room late at night, Santa Claus will come, and leave the family a present.
 * There are some real people starring in The Sims, for example Drew Carey, Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol, Avril Lavigne, and Christina Aguilera.
 * A highway is named after Gunther Goth, simply called Gunther Goth Highway.
 * There are many Easter eggs connected with the Crumplebottom family such as the court house next to the Goth Sr home, the prune tree, and the park.
 * In the start-up screen (launcher), if the player clicks the Maxis logo at the lower left, a hidden picture will pop up.
 * After the player plays a household for 100 Sim days, a series of pop-ups will come up informing about the team.
 * There is an object from House Party in which when a Sim in a good mood views it, something pops up with a picture from the creators of House Party.

The Sims 2

 * Bella Goth: There are many references to this mysterious Sim in the game. Bella Goth appears on the milk cartons and newspapers in the game. It is rumored that Bella and her brother Michael are standing in the hot air balloon neighborhood object in the game; others suppose this is the Dreamboat and Blonde Bombshell townie characters from The Sims: Hot Date expansion pack. Bella appears in many of the decorative photographs of the game, one being a picture of herself named "Bella Squared". She is also a townie in Strangetown. Belladonna Cove has a statue of Bella holding a PlumbBob. In The Sims 2 for PlayStation 2, the name of a refrigerator is "Chow Bella Bachelor".
 * Onomatology: Several pre-made Sims in the game have puns that allude to a meaning as a name. For example, Rigger Mortis and Earl E. DeMise.
 * Hidden Painting: There is a painting hidden within the game's files that depicts an 18th-century couple. The couple in the painting closely resembles Glenda the Ghost and Gordon the Ghost (NPC ghosts from The Sims Makin' Magic).
 * The Pleasant Family on TV: The Pleasant family appears in commercials on TV. One of the clips depict the two sisters fighting and Daniel making out with another woman. The second commercial advertises a pizza delivery chain.
 * Freezer Bunny: It represents a pink bunny cartoon and first appears on the back of a juice carton in the community lot freezers.
 * Simpsons House: A house on the train table in FreeTime bears a striking resemblance to 742 Evergreen Terrace, the house of the Simpson family.
 * The Flying Pig: A neighborhood object released with The Sims 2: Open for Business. Appears in neighborhoods with a water tower. It also appears as a decoration on a tree in the FreeTime train table. This may be a reference to Pink Floyd, after an inflatable pig broke free during production of one of their albums.
 * The Spaceship: A neighborhood object/event released with Pets. When a crashed spaceship is placed in the neighborhood, a spaceship arrives with a searchlight to find the crashed ship.
 * The Spaceship's Number Plate: Says 'anm8er' (It sounds like "animator"). When an abduction occurs on the lot and the UFO comes to return the Sim, the number plate can be seen.
 * Grim Reaper's Bio: When using the  cheat to view the Grim Reaper's bio, it says that his favorite band is Styx. Note that doing this will corrupt your game.
 * Santa Claus's Bio: When Santa is made selectable and his biography is viewed, it reads, "The Big Man". Please note that doing this will corrupt your game.
 * Hidden Lot in Belladonna Cove: There's a hidden lot at the edge of Belladonna Cove, called Watervista Palace. It can only be seen by using the cameraman mode (Tab), or by using a camera mod that allows the camera to view the edges of the neighborhood. It resembles Baba Yaga's hut.
 * Tree Ring: Players can read trivial information from the Tree Ring from Bon Voyage. One of the bits of trivia is a reference to all of Don Lothario's lovers; DL+CG, DL+DC, DL+NC, and DL+KL.
 * Career Reward: The Sims 2 logo can be seen on the lower part on the 3rd mat of the Medicine career reward.
 * Maxis Outfit for Girls: In The Sims 2, there is an outfit for girls with Will Wright on front and a Maxis logo on the back.
 * Veronaville Residents' Gender Preference: Using SimPE or another third party editing program to open the character files of several pre-made male Sims in Veronaville (e.g. Kent Capp, Cornwall Capp, Patrizio Monty etc.) reveals that they have a slight gender preference for males at the beginning of the game, despite the fact that they are involved in heterosexual romantic storyline. This is possibly a reference to the ongoing critical debate over the possible sexuality of William Shakespeare, on whose life and plays the neighborhood is based. It could also be referring to the fact that, in Shakespeare's day, only men were allowed to act.
 * Hot Dog Stand Counter: On the counter of the hot dog stand in Apartment Life, players can see some recognizable pictures. The pictures include the photos from the photo album of the Smith family, the Grunt family, the Lothario family, the Broke family, and many more. There are also the pictures of Romeo Monty and Bella Goth.
 * Noticeboard: On one of the noticeboards from University, if the graphic quality is set to high, players can read a pinned paper with words written in alphabet "OPEN" and mirrored "HOUSE", along with an "OPEN HOUSE" written below.
 * Phone Book Cover: The phone book children use when playing chess contains a cover with alphabet on it, despite the fact there's also Simlish on it. It says a series of "asdfsf dfasd asdf." It can be implied that the developer only added random letters while designing the phone book.
 * Video Game: A preview of The Sims 3 in its beta version appears as a video game that is shipped with FreeTime.
 * Sir Bricks-a-Lot: One of the toys that can be crafted in Open for Business is Sir Bricks-a-Lot. This is a play on Sir Mix-a-Lot, who is an African-American rapper/songwriter. Of the designs available for the toy, there is one that has a beard/stubble, meant to look like the real-life singer. Additionally, Sir Bricks-a-Lot reappears in The Sims 3: Pets.
 * Chance Cards: The chance card for the Master of Ceremonies position in the Entertainment career track refers to The Simmy Award from The Sims: Superstar.
 * Job Titles:The "Dread Pirate" job in the Adventurer career track is likely a reference to the Dread Pirate Roberts in The Princess Bride.
 * Wall Lamp: One of the wall lamps is called "Prisoner of Azkalamp". This is a reference to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the third novel in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.
 * Floor Lamp: There is a floor lamp called "Rave Against the Machine", a reference to popular American rock band Rage Against the Machine.
 * End Table: There is an 8-sided end table called 'Crazy 8'. Crazy Eights is a simple card game. This could also be a reference to the 'crazy 88 gang' from the film Kill Bill vol. 1.
 * Whistling: Sims with enough Music and Dance enthusiasm will occasionally whistle a segment of the buy mode song from The Sims.
 * Teasers: There are two teasers in FreeTime that hint to The Sims 3 prior to its release. The first one is a poster with a green PlumbBob of The Sims 3 logo. The second one is a painting with two presets, one of which closely resembles Sunset Valley, albeit with differences.
 * Stonehenge: One of the new neighborhood decorations in The Sims Castaway Stories is an exact replica of Stonehenge.
 * Dummies: The white bus used as a carpool in the athletic career has two Sims inside that closely resemble children from The Sims. They are not real Sims, but are "dummy" Sims, and exist only as a texture.
 * Unlikely Whale Sculpture: The sculpture's description refers to The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, in which there is a section based on a sperm whale and a bowl of petunias being called into existence high up in the sky. In the book, the whale ponders who it is and it's purpose in life whilst falling, which the description alludes to.
 * The Aerodynamo: The description of this item, specifically the reminder to not use it as a giant fan, refers to this scene from the animated TV series Futurama.
 * Servo: The cost of building a Servo in The Sims 2: Open for Business, §3000, is a possible reference to Tom Servo, a robot from the TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000.
 * West End Girls: The song "Suburbia" by West End Girls, which was included in non-US releases of The Sims 2: Pets is a Simlish cover of the song of the same name by the British synthpop band Pet Shop Boys. The band West End Girls was also named after a Pet Shop Boys song.
 * Golden Gate Bridge: One of the wall paintings is a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
 * Piano: The "Chimeway & Daughters Saloon Piano" is a reference to the famous piano manufacturer Steinway &amp; Sons.
 * Mini System "Funkadelic": There is a copy of the album "The Bends" by Radiohead on the shelf below the stereo.
 * Brick Rolled: A wall paint under the bricks section is named "Brick Rolled", a reference to Rick Rolling, a common internet phenomenon. The game takes it a step further and has a description of "These bricks will never let you down", a reference to the song involved in Rick Rolling.

The Urbz: Sims in the City

 * When starting The Urbz: Sims in the City, if the player does not press start at the title screen, the game will play a demo. This does not occur in the PS2 version.

 * There is a special Urb called Bobo. He does not appear in the relationship list (But he is listed on the Call Urb screen) but he can be made to join your crew in which the player can control him. Although he has Central Station clothes, he is treated as a Gasoline Row Urb.
 * There's a wall paint called Reservoir Digs. A reference toward the famous movie Reservoir Dogs.

The Sims 2 (console)

 * In The Sims 2 for console, when looking at the Comic objects, one can see Darius from The Urbz: Sims in the City.
 * Objects and Sim animations in The Sims 2 for console are the same as The Urbz: Sims in the City, this also occurs on Pets for the console.
 * When using a metal detector, a Sim can find a copy of The Urbz: Sims in the City.

 * In the PSP version, Bella's secret's will mention that she never loved Mortimer, and instead married him for his money.
 * In the PSP version, the techno station on the stereo may play The Sims 2: Nightlife theme by Junkie XL.
 * In The Sims 2 for GBA, Daddy Bigbucks mentions the Goth family and it can be seen when starting a new episode or when finishing it.

The Sims 2 Pets (PSP)

 * When going to Town Square, players may get the message "Today is the Cat Day!". Oddly, this may also appear in The Sims 2: Castaway at random times when looking inside a bottle.

Sims

 * Several of the easter eggs involve the Tragic Clown - first seen in The Sims. His picture appears at the back of the milk carton, replacing Bella Goth. A parody fish has the name the Tragic Clownfish. Tragic Clown's existence is shown in his grave in Pleasant Rest Graveyard.
 * Vincent Skullfinder, from MySims, is a deceased Sim buried in Pleasant Rest Graveyard.
 * The Goth family is incomplete. There is a Sim in Goth's graveyard named Lolita Goth. Some players believed that she is Gunther's sister, in replacement of Frida Goth, because Frida didn't appear in The Sims 3 yet, only until she reappeared in Supernatural. Some players believe that Lolita is Gunther's ex-wife. For theories, see Lolita Goth/theories.
 * In Late Night, there is a possibility that Sims will exclaim, "This place is hotter than Hank Goddard that one time he caught on fire!" when visiting a random hotspot. It is also possible they will exclaim "This place is as hot as Connor Frio with a bad case of hypothermia".
 * Some worlds have an abandoned mine somewhere in the town. The abandoned mine has a blocked entrance, scattered pickaxe, lantern, and eerie glowing eyes inside the mine.
 * In Twinbrook near the house called "Swampy", there is a fake jackalope with a wooden back and a wooden stand holding it up.

 * The toy train set that's included in Supernatural resembles a small version of Sunset Valley, with the city hall, the theatre, the stadium, the spa, the supermarket, the bookstore, the hospital, the central park and the lighthouse.
 * The skill books from University Life, which are Social Networking Vol. 2, Social Networking Vol. 3, Street Art Vol. 2, and Street Art Vol. 3 are written by Don Lothario, Virginia Buckingham, Cassidy Roth, and Emma Contrary, respectively. They're all premade deceased Sims from The Sims 2 expansion packs, excluding Don.
 * One of the comic books in University Life, entitled "Outrageous Adventure", lists its author as Leod McGreggor, a Sim from Riverblossom Hills from The Sims 2: Seasons.
 * On the city hall of Roaring Heights, there's a carving of render Sims from The Sims 4.

 * "Where's Bella?" is a reference to the Bella Goth's disappearance in The Sims 2, as well as Martin Handford's Where's Wally? books.
 * "Murder in Pleasantview", by Alexander Goth. Possibly a reference to Bella's disappearance in The Sims 2. It's also interesting because Sunset Valley in The Sims 3 occurs before The Sims 2, while Bella is a child, and Alexander shouldn't have been born. Given that, it may have been a subtle hint to the time machine in The Sims 3: Ambitions, which can bring back books from the past or future.

 * "The Goth Account", a business opportunity book to read, referencing the Goth family.

 * "1948" (one of the default names for Sci-Fi books) is probably a reference to the book 1984 written by George Orwell. Also in The Sims 3 for Nintendo 3DS, there is the same book with a description that said '1948' was written in 1908 and features flying cars and other futuristic things.
 * "To Mock a Killing Bird" (one of the default names for Mystery books) is a reference to the book To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee. It also appears in The Sims 3 for Nintendo 3DS

 * When children or teens have a school trip to the graveyard mausoleum, they may receive a painting. The painting has a figure of a ghost with a green color and what appears to be a black coloration in his stomach just to the left of the mausoleum. It is speculated that this reveals a new type of death in an upcoming expansion pack, and that it is most likely a ghost Sim who died of illness as featured in The Sims 2. It was rumored that this type of death will be shipped in The Sims 3: Seasons, but it didn't. It was later revealed that the ghost is a new form of death, death by magic, as shown Supernatural trailer.
 * In The Sims 3: Pets, there is a painting called "Rainbows! Lasers! Cat!" which is a possible reference to the popular internet meme, Nyan Cat.
 * There is also a painting/poster called Grilled Cheese! in The Sims 3: Pets which shows a cat thinking of a grilled cheese sandwich. It seems to be a nod to LOLcats, and a reference to the Grilled Cheese aspiration from The Sims 2: Nightlife.
 * Some paintings which Sims can paint are similar to real paintings including: Mona Lisa and The Birth of Venus. See Painting for more.
 * "The Detention Hall" movie poster available in Buy Mode is based on the poster for the 1985 movie The Breakfast Club.
 * In The Sims 3: Pets there is a statue called "Arya's Pony". The name is a reference to Arya Stark, a character from George R. R.

In its description there are other hints/ references to the book/ television series, including the Stark words "winter is coming."

 * In The Sims 3: Pets, there is a painting referencing Jurassic Park.

Objects

 * The Access Aperture Door (available after purchasing Lunar Lakes), could possibly be a nod towards Valve's Aperture Science Facility shown in both Portal games, yet the word is also used to describe an opening which allows light to enter; possibly meaning a fancier word for door.
 * The Lucky Door is said to be made by Mr. McMann from Pleasantview after he won in Bingo seven days in a row.
 * There is another door called Mags' Door, the door is in the style of the 50s and it might be a reference to Mags Newbie.
 * The Freezer Bunny makes a number of appearances in the game:
 * As a child's toy in the toy box (although it appears as a regular pink bunny, the color depicts a Freezer Bunny)

Its description is "There's an entrance that knows, if you're wealthy with gold, then you're buying an Archway to Heaven". This is a reference to the first few lines of "Stairway to Heaven"; "There's a lady who's sure/All that glitters is gold/And she's buying a Stairway to Heaven".
 * An object that comes with the Pets expansion pack is "Sir Bricks-A-Lot, Jr.", a reference to the rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot, and the original "Sir Bricks-A-Lot" in The Sims 2: Open for Business.
 * A sink named "The Unsinkable Sink" might be a reference to the RMS Titanic, as the Titanic was once believed to be "unsinkable".
 * The Scary Bearys: Robo-Bearbot added with Supernatural contains a reference to Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics, described as the "three laws of bearotics".
 * The "Portrait of Miranda Glauer" that came from Supernatural has a dramatic story wherein Betty was a witch bullied by her classmates in Everglow Academy. This could be a reference to Alessa Gillespie, a major character in the Silent Hill series, who was also a witch and discriminated and hated by her classmates for being one during her school year in 1976 and is seeking revenge to them, the same thing what Betty was about to do to her classmates as stated by in the description of the painting in Buy Mode.

The Red Faction reference is slightly odd, considering EA had nothing to do with the game; it is published by THQ and designed by Volition.
 * When receiving a certificate for mastering Athleticism, the athletic institute is named "Grodiek Institute", a pun on a creator of the game, G. Rodiek.
 * While it may be just a name, Morrigan Hemlock may also be a reference to Dragon Age: Origins. Not only does she share a unique first name with an important character in the game, her last name is also similar to two of the main creatures of the game (the hurlock and genlock). She also wears an outfit slightly reminiscent of the Dragon Age Morrigan.
 * One of the Rocks/Metals that Sims can pick up is Tiberium, which is a reference to Command and Conquer.
 * On the Channel Troller 27" Deluxe TV, the three disc cases that are shown on the bottom of the item are those of the MySims and The Sims Castaway Stories games, both by EA. Also, the Maxis logo is shown on the top of the DVD player.

 * If a horse learns the riding skill, the skill description plays on the Need for Speed series ( feels the need.... the need for speed!).
 * The background music used in the elevator from Late Night is the theme song from The Sims.
 * There are a number of hidden chambers in tombs in World Adventures. It has a shape of pentagon and an "R" symbol on the floor. It's an initial of Ray Mazza, who designed the tombs.

 * In The Sims 3 Pets for console, when exploring the abandoned mine, sometimes a message will pop up, saying "(Sim Name) was exploring when they came across the message "the pie is a lie!" scrawled across the wall over and over again," which is a reference to the Portal series.

Homages to art, film and literature

 * Attack with The Claw is an action available to Sims interacting with toddlers (as of Generations). This is a reference to the Jim Carrey movie "Liar, Liar".
 * "Herding Cats: Music Edition" (Herding Cats is an album by Gaelic Storm who recorded a Simlish version of their song "Scalliwag" for The Sims 2: Bon Voyage.)
 * "The Fountainfoot" is a painting referencing the book "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand.
 * Some created paintings in The Sims 3 are allusion to famous paintings in real life.
 * The poster named "Detention Hall" is a parody of The Breakfast Club.
 * The trait "Never Nude", as well as the playable character Gobias Koffi, are references to the television show "Arrested Development".
 * The descriptions of the shrubberies in The Sims 3 refer to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
 * There is a book called The Tiny Lebroski, which is a reference to the movie "The Big Lebowski".
 * Under the band skill, there is a reference to Spinal Tap when it says band life has many things, such as the number 11.
 * "Game of Thorns", one of the mystery books, is a reference to A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin.
 * It should be noted, that Game of Thrones (without the "A") is the title of the TV series made from the novels A Game of Thrones, premiering 2 years after the release of The Sims 3. In addition the genre isn't fantasy like the original, and there's no connection between the names of the authors, being Guy le France in the game.
 * Also the allusion wasn't carried over into the translations of the game, at least the Dutch and the German one.
 * A downloadable item in the Sims 3 Store has a cube-shaped table lamp called "The Comrade Cube". The look of the item and a part of its description - "Please note, we'd like to take a moment to remind you that the Comrade Cube cannot, and will not, speak" - are both references to the weighted Companion Cube from Valve's Portal series where GLaDOS constantly reminds the player that the weighted companion cube cannot speak.
 * On the side of the Starlight Shores rabbit hole, the players can see a poster that looks a lot like a promotional picture from Battlefield 3.
 * There is an opportunity called "To Boldly Go" which asks the Sim to write a Science Fiction novel, a reference to the Star Trek franchise.

The product description mentions 'Marlon Kowalski,' referencing both the actor Marlon Brando and the character he played in the film adaptation, Stanley Kowalski. He is mentioned as calling the lamp 'Stellar!' referencing the famous 'Stella!' cry from the play.
 * In Ambitions, 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.
 * One of the novels your Sim can write is Waiting for Godat, an obvious reference to the play Waiting for Godot.
 * One of the houses in Lunar Lakes mentions seeming to be "bigger on the inside", a possible reference to the TV show Doctor Who. Likewise, the object The Lightning Leap Atomic Molecular Arranger, introduced with The Sims 3: Supernatural, is a nodding reference to the TARDIS from Doctor Who in both its design and functionality.
