Apparently People Instagramming Their Sims Is A Thing Now

Have tweens finally gone too far? There's an emerging subculture where people not only roleplay using Sims 3 University , but also Instagram their-Sim-selves doing it.

These days, we really have it all: computers in our pockets, rechargeable cars, and people who roleplay themselves as Sims on Instagram. Although the size of the community is unclear, it's at least large enough that they refer to themselves as "plumbobs" (the ubiquitous green diamond that hovers over your selected Sim in the game), some claim they are "not a human, I'm a Sim", while others identify themselves by family.

Each account has a variety of characters in a variety of settings. Because the most recent expansion to the game was Sims 3 University, the majority of them are in college and mostly deal with typical college experiences. They experiment with new styles, go to parties, and hookup.

On user live2sims3, for instance, we find Cecelia caught in an intimate moment with her "friend," Jamie, yet just a couple weeks later she's seen kissing some random jock.

These Sims' lives aren't just fun and games, though. They get real.
