Do you like the llama jokes in the sims or other ongoing jokes/easter eggs in the series? What do you think of them?
I just know I hated the llama mascot in TS2 he was so annoying and obnoxious
I always thought the freezer bunny was odd

The llama mascot was annoying in TS2 though, I'll give you that, but it's not the llama's fault! Any mascot I think would have been programmed that way.

> I like them. It's kind of a silly familiarity between all of the versions and comforting for me in a weird sort of way. Discovering them makes me smile and nostalgic. I also feel like they're kind of a tribute to the games of the past. It's nice. :)

Oh no no no no please no I still haven't gotten that out of my head from middle school.
Anyway, I like the ongoing jokes! They're cute, and I'm so glad they transcend the generations. If they ever got rid of the freezer bunny or the llamas I'd be really upset.
I never minded the llama mascot in 2. It was the cow mascot that was obnoxious. They randomly fought with Sims or tried to flirt with them to make their significant other angry. The llama was just around, I even married them once or twice.
The freezer bunny, is cute. I'm not as fond of him for some reason though. His first appearance was in Sims 2 in a grocery store freezer.
Let's make Liberty and Justice For All a reality.
From the wiki: Will Wright, creator of The Sims, stated "many years ago, we had a company-wide vote for our informal company-wide mascot, and the choices came down to the Boston tree fern, beef tape worm and a llama. And somehow the llama won the vote!" From then, llamas became a running gag in franchises associated with Maxis and Will Wright.
I didn't see anything about the freezer bunny's inception, just that it first appeared in the Sims 2 grocery freezer on a juice box. It was probably just something the artist who made it thought was cute, then someone else put the juice box in another fridge or freezer, someone else saw it and thought it was cute and stuck it somewhere else... and at some point it just started getting put everywhere as an inside joke.
y may be a reference to Blue Bunny brand of frozen treats in New England. Come to think, I haven't seen Blue Bunny around in forever, but then, haven't looked. It at least used to be a thing here.

I'm hoping that there will be NO gnomes in Sims 5. Sorry,EA,but it's time you exterminated these annoying bearded pests for good.
Then one day she had her sim come up to the gnomes (about 30 of them by then) it attacked her than they all dissappeared!! We both got so freaked out amused but creepy because we didnt think they do anything.
By Sims 3 they were tired out to me and now theyre super annoying.

I found the ones in Sims 3 funny, because they would interact. Vampire gnomes would be seen posed to bite other gnomes, two gnomes would be posed dancing, they would watch tv together, etc. If you had two Mysterious Mr. Gnomes they could spawn baby gnomes who changed to each life state over time, and the original gnomes would age and die, leaving behind little tombstones.
I rarely bought a gnome in Sims 2 because other Sims would walk by and kick it over or steal lit. I don't remember even seeing gnomes in Sims 1, but I only played it on PC once, and console the rest of the time.
In Sims 4, just like the others though, you can ignore them easily enough if they annoy you. Never set gnomes as a holiday tradition, never buy any, and immediately sell any you randomly get.
Gnomes did a lot in Sims Making Magic but this was Sims 1 console so we didnt expect anything to happen. By the Sims 3 for me even with all of that i was really over gnomes. I feel that way too about My Sims trophies in Sims 2. I cant remember if they are in sims 3

I've always just sold those MySims trophies. I've only kept one, Zombie Carl, when I needed to make a potion. They do get found a lot.
There are only a couple in Sims 2, and one is made on purpose by witches. I don't think it even occurred to me until now that those were MySims things. But I never played My Sims.

Edit: Also may not be an easter egg per se but two food items that tend to be popular with the sims team are grilled cheese and goopy carbonara. Though I don't think goopy carbonara is in ts4.
You mean these guys? https://www.bluebunny.com/where-to-buy
https://www.theicecreamdepot.ca/bluebunny - Yeah, we can even find them here too. in Canada. Sorry to hear that they've gone AWOL in New England.

> I have loved all the gnomes until ts4. I don't like appeasing them so I leave them out of my Holiday festivities now. I don't need all those seed packets laying around. I do love the llama and freezer bunnies still.
At least we can get some good simoleons from selling them! >.>
