The Sims Team Congratulated Paralives On Game Release…And Then Quickly Removed The Post (UPDATE)

The Sims Team sends their congratulations to Paralives.

ARTICLE UPDATE #2: The Paralives Team has responded with an image reply of their plate offering with the following caption:

ARTICLE UPDATE: A new tweet reply from The Sims Team to the Paralives Team was sent out 3 hours ago. It appears the original tweet was deleted because the social media manager seemingly used the same graphic.

The newest graphic features more summer clothes to fit the season with the following caption:

Let's hope The Sims Team is offering the full Fruitcake and not just 30% of it.

Another reply from The Sims Team was made on an announcement from Paralives that they sold 250K copies in 8 hours, with "Congratulations" written in Simlish:

All snark about the current bad infrastructure of The Sims Franchise aside, it's nice to see a long-standing, genre-introducing Intellectual Property acknowledge an indie project like Paralives.

This also confirms our original suspicions on why the original tweet was removed - The Sims social media team simply wanted to use a fresh new graphic for a fresh new Life Sim game coming out.

A somewhat weird scenario happened on the X social network 3 hours ago. The Sims Team was under fire recently for not having congratulated the team at Paralives for launching their game, in similar passion like they did with InZOI just last year:

In case you don't know, The Sims Team congratulated InZOI's Early Access release last year with a fruitcake and the "Phone Girl" NPC Sim holding it, stating: “Sul Sul! We brought fruitcake!”

Just a few hours ago the same picture was used in a reply to a tweet from Paralives stating that they've released the game.

In all fairness to the social media manager behind The Sims - yesterday was "Memorial Day" - a public US Holiday.

What's interesting is that the congratulations were up only for a few hours, until The Sims Team decided to take the tweet reply down.

As of the moment of writing this article there hasn't been a new tweet reply from The Sims Team to Paralives. In defense (again) to The Sims Social media manager, this could be an error with wrong time schedule for publishing, wrong image used or something else.
