A new update to the Sims 4's main menu was released today, and the Sims team used it as an opportunity to troll the game's fanbase with the widely hated Sim known as «Ring Girl.» The game has seen many changes over its 7 years lifespan, receiving a huge amount of bug fixes, new content, and gameplay mechanics through Sims 4 updates. The Sims 4 has one of the largest player bases in gaming, having sold over 36 million copies since its release in 2014.

While most updates for The Sims 4 address in-game content, throughout the years the game's main menu has seen some substantial changes as well. Alongside cataloging players' DLC, some portions of the main menu also highlight key features in the game as a way of offering tips to players, which often show Sims partaking in the activity being highlighted. A Sim featured using a cellphone quickly went viral in the game's community as soon as they appeared on the menu due to their intense facial expression. Although not nearly as large of an issue as things like Sims 4 bugs and glitches, many players joked about how the Sim — dubbed «Ring Girl» by fans — was haunting them, appearing on the home screen at every login.

They also revealed Ring Girl will now be available for download on the game's online gallery. Fans had big reactions immediately — user LuddySimmer posted a screenshot of Ring Girl's
