SimWebCam picture as it looks in the finalĪn undocumented snapshotting tool, commonly referred as SimsWebCam or stalker camera, exists in the base game, and was entirely removed for the future patched versions (that, including Expansion Packs). Notable examples include the Room Map (draws real-time top-view blueprints of the world in its current state), Terrain Tweak (changes the soil's properties, as the color and grass levels) and Neighborhood (people's data in strings, most infamously indicating their age and many other unused attributes). The exe's for the majority of The Sims patches, from the base game until its last update, Complete Collection, still appear to hold extra leftover dialog boxes originally belonging to the Edith tool - theīild Interactive build figures an exception among many possible ones - however, it's already bundled with quite a few quirkiness to call its own. The programming and behavior for every single object in the game (plus quite a few tweaking facilities of a more advanced bias) are directly attributed to the infamous in-house developer tool Edith, engineered by the own The Sims staff - there attached at the game's main executable Sims.exe in debug/ pre-release builds, getting its core features and interface almost wholly cut off from the retail releases, for natural reasons.

Although who exactly those real people are, along with why skins depicting them were included on the disc in the first place remains a mystery. Meaning that coupled with their obscure location, the average user would likely never see them.Īside from their obscurity, the heads in particular stand out for their 'realistic' appearances, having been based on photos of real life people. These skins are not installed with the game, and only ever remain on the disc. These skins, unlike the well-known Will Wright illustration, are more obscure and tucked away in the Patches es folder, where the average user would be unlikely to ever look. Included on the install disc for the Livin' Large expansion pack is a set of skins three heads and three bodies.
