If you grew up in the age of AIM, MySpace, and Limewire days–chances are you also grew up playing The Sims.
The computer game, which allows users to create their own character(s), build a home, and live out a life as the said person, is a staple of many people’s childhoods. It’s a well-known fact, however, to avid Sims players, that dying is rather easy in the game–especially for the most ridiculous reasons. Take it from someone who always died while cooking (no matter how many cooking books I read).
One Twitter user, @LipsTaco, recently shared the crazy story behind her Sim’s baby daddy’s death and–it’s pretty bizarre.
one of my sims had twins. I only bought one of all the baby stuff I need. The baby daddy caught on fire while making hotdogs, so I’m a single mother. Long story short one of the twins got taken away while I was at the nightclub pic.twitter.com/mRaqkV4G70

Basically, her baby daddy died while cooking hotdogs (figures!), and, one of her kids got taken away from her in the game–realistic AF, right? But, don’t worry, there’s more.
Update: The other twin was taken by cps. I am no longer a single mother. I’m just single. pic.twitter.com/YFKkAkPabm

Update: I found a man!!! He has a big apartment and a good job that pays $90 an hour. He has a wife already but she’s about to “mysteriously” disappear. The bag will be secured. pic.twitter.com/7YdzUutd3M
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 30, 2018
she’s been taken care of. Now he’s a sad and lonely widow. This is where I come in pic.twitter.com/6QhIGv48e9
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 30, 2018
He hates me. I kept trying to flirt but was rejected every time. Now my sim lives alone in her lil house again. I’ve lost both my children, my boyfriend died in a fire, and I killed a woman in an attempt to get a husband. I guess it’s time to drown myself in the pool. pic.twitter.com/dVaRgvpmIO
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 30, 2018
I decided not to drown myself. I found a guy and got him to like me. I’m pregnant! I also found out he’s a vampire so ig my baby will be immortal. Should I let him turn me into a vampire?
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 30, 2018
Now imma vampire. I went to his in Forgotten Hallows and he lives alone in a big ass creepy mansion. I think this man is at least 1000 years old. I might lock him outside in the sun and take his house and do some remodeling cause this ain’t it. Ion need a man anyway. pic.twitter.com/HG3J5QjN5w
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 30, 2018
I did the house and It looks so much better and less old. I got rid of the man that made me an immortal vampire and is the father to my third child. I’ll just be single forever, literally cause I can never die. I’m close to giving birth. Let’s hope it’s not twins. pic.twitter.com/Y0uOCmuzRC
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 30, 2018
My baby has been born. His name is Omari. He’s pale af. He literally has no melanin but ig it’s cause his dad a vampire. pic.twitter.com/HQ1SJ4sWkF
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 31, 2018
well that’s all, for now at least. I’ll find a job so I can support this family. I might just be a hoe instead of committing to someone. Imma be the same age for eternity so that’s enough time to get with everyone in all my towns. pic.twitter.com/Pyc4ZCLcZE
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 31, 2018
Omari’s dad keeps coming to the house in the middle of the night and calling me asking if he can come over. Like…I forgot you to move out the house for a reason. We don’t wanna see you. pic.twitter.com/oQTtK8fNmv
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 31, 2018
YALL. Omari is a child now so he’s going to school. I made him socialize and make some friends. He becomes friends with a girl and her name is Jasmine…. that was the name of one of my twins. The little girl also looks like my ex boyfriend pic.twitter.com/NWuIO3NO4U
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 31, 2018
I’m inviting her over. I really think this could be my daughter that was taken away from me. pic.twitter.com/d0xjuLrBzb
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 31, 2018
I have no way to prove that this is actually my daughter but she went back home. I need to find where she lives to do more investigating
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 31, 2018
While Omari was at school the next day, His dad came over to my apartment. He kept kissing my cheek and flirting. I led him in to an extra room I had and deleted the door. I then went to work. He still in there. pic.twitter.com/Ry5RYXHFtI
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 31, 2018
I got back from work and he’s not even in the room anymore. He’s sitting in my living room watching tv I- pic.twitter.com/OAoHKVz3n1
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 31, 2018
well I killed my second baby daddy. I quit my job and gave myself some money so we good. I went out to meet with my friend, Summer. she lives with 2 other ppl. Since i’m a vampire I need to get plasma from other sims. I sucked everyone in that house and they all hate me. pic.twitter.com/pYGm9hK5IJ
— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) May 31, 2018
I aged up Omari to an adult cause I was tired of taking care of his ass. Literally a day after I moved him out of my house he died in a fire.
R.I.P Omari 5/30/18-6/1/18 pic.twitter.com/ov0iDXb83u— Jay⚡️ (@LipsTaco) June 1, 2018
Omari, Jasmine, and Olivia were my children and i’ve lost them all. Jasmine and Olivia were wrongfully taken from me. I may be a horrible mother but I loved them. @TheSims I want my children back pic.twitter.com/E9pV0jWXqw

If this gameplay taught me anything, it’s to not have baby daddies. They’re toxic. pic.twitter.com/BfetzehQC7

— Black Girl Reviews (@MovieBuffChick1) June 4, 2018
Yeah. My sim got electrocuted trying to fix the TV instead of calling the repair man. I haven’t played that game since.
