How to get the ‘Me in The Sims’ TikTok filter

TikTok users are loving the new ‘Me in The Sims’ filter, which shows you what you would look like as a character in the iconic life simulation game series.

This nostalgic effect uses AI to turn you into a cartoon-like Sim from ‘The Sims,’ altering your appearance and adding the classic green diamond or “plumbob” that appears above the characters’ heads.

It also features two thought bubbles with random symbolic imagery, mimicking how Sims express their desires and feelings in the game. Additionally, the filter displays text indicating your mood, which alternates between ‘sad’ and ‘fine.’
