One of the jobs in the adventurer career track is "Multi-Regional Sim of Some Question."
In final job in the Law career track your sim becomes the law.
The Brick Roll floor tile from one of the later expansions.
The Prisoner of Azkalamp.
To literary classics. In the Sims 3, old (and often valuable) books such as The White Flag of Courage can be found while searching catacombs.
The The Prototype X94 "Angsternaut" Robosuit. The description also has shades of Humongous Mecha in general (and possibly Gurenn Lagann in particular).
- That's nothing. The Sims 2 has a trio of outfits that bear an uncanny resemblance to Evangelion plugsuits the main characters wear. That you can wear as well. Clearly Will Wright is a NGE fan.
  - The game files refer to those suits as motor racing suits - with oddly-placed plugs.
    - With this screenshot the Shout-Out may as well be confirmed.
There's another outfit from the 2nd game that is basically Neo's outfit from The Matrix, complete with black trenchcoat.
Surprised this one didn't come up: for toddlers in Sims 2, there's a Rip Co. Wobbly Wabbit Head toy
Socially deprived Sims in Sims 2 interact with a large, imaginary, one-eyed rabbit...
- In a similar vein, Knowlege Sims at the end of their rope will start holding conversations with a volleyball.
- TV shows on the SBN (Sim Broadcasting Network) include: Not-Oprah, Pseudo-Survivor, Un-ER, and the Pleasant twins in some kind of generic teen drama.
- The windmills that you can use to reduce your Sims' energy bill have a buy-mode description that suggests that you not try to use them to cool off, as "they do not work that way."
The Time Machine has a few. One that stand out is that, when traveling to the future, you can get a message about your sim arriving amidst a big crowd, but that nobody noticed your sim because everybody was cheering about a shepherd that saved the galaxy from an ancient god-machine.
- Also from the Time Machine, if you travel to the past, it may tell you about not catching dysentheria on the Oregon Trail.
There is a wallpaper in The Sims 2: Pets for the Game Cube (and possibly other games) called "Jackson Stonewall"
One of the paintings that can be purchased features a red-haired woman in a red dress on a blue background. The description states that it "illustrates the eternal struggle between red and blue"
And of course, there is Thoggus.
The "Immaculate Marcos" peep-toe high heels available at the Sims Store is a thinly-veiled reference to former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos, who gained notoriety for her immense shoe collection.
