The Sims 4 just got its spiciest expansion pack yet, along with the fully functional dating app Cupid's Corner - and the Tinder-esque feature is already catfishing Sims and matching them with Shrek.
The Sims community is no stranger to virtual chaos - from the "total mess" of an update that caused everything from "overly mean Sims" to incest, that much is obvious.

The feature, meant to mimic real-life dating apps like Tinder, is making its rounds on social media just one day after its release - with good reason.

"Bro today was not it for me y'all," they write, with screenshots of their own Sim and the Sim they matched with via the in-game app. "WHY TF MY SIM GET CATFISHED BRUH." The attached pictures show how different their Sim's date looked in his Cupid's Corner profile versus how he looked in reality - and it's hilarious.
