There's a reference to Labyrinth on one of the loading screens, when it say something along the lines of: "The power of voodoo. Who do? You do."
My favourite, though, is that Fenestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (one of the windows) is a reference to my favourite band, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. They're a U.K synth pop band, who were big in the '80s, but they are not well known now, especially with people my age (16). As such, I was really surprised that the (presumably) American developers chose to make this reference. It made me happy.
In vintage glamour there is a plant called growing home, being a reference to the game grow home. In the description it says there is only one bud left. Bud is the main character of Grow Home
Also, on the back of the leather jackets from the base games there’s punk band logos that have been ‘simified’. There’s bands such as The Misfits, Ramones, Bad Brains, Descendents, and a couple more that I can’t remember! I thought that was pretty rad! Most of them have been changed by adding a freezer bunny to them, I think it’s super cool that they did that :)

If you buy the poster of the clown and your sim views it a clown called “tragic clown” will come over and try to cheer you up. It’s a reference to the older sims (it was sims 1 or 2 I forget)

Thanks for the insight! That said, this thread is super old, so I am going to close it at this point (It's from 2014 and was most recently posted in last year).
~my hair color is frequently changing, so my Sim reflects that~
