It’s 2025, and people are still creating groundbreaking mods for The Sims 2

Rod Humble has been ruining The Sims 2 since 2008

For over a decade, I’ve had nohumble.package sitting in my mods folder so that I never have to see this fucker show up on my Sim’s front lawn again.

The mod does what it says on the tin. No Rod Humble. Who is allegedly a real person, by the way.

Alien pregnancies aside, I like a bit of realism in my Sims game. I find it super unrealistic for an EA shill to give away stuff for free.[1]

So what better solution is there, than to patch him out of the game entirely?

Enter RodGetsHumbled.package, uploaded by a mysterious new user[2] on ModTheSims.

The Sims 2 modding community is capable of amazing things

According to the documentation:

Rod has to come and make the delivery, or he’ll be fired. So really, this is all your fault.

Feeling guilty? Don’t. Look at this slop I found on image search:

A machine-generated image of the Rod Humble Sim smiling weirdly, accompanied with a quote from the real Rod Humble saying 'I've got to the stage in life where all my friends are rich or dead'
Not so humble after all, eh?

Plus, you needed this laugh. I needed this laugh.

  1. Hold on, what’s that? You’re telling me they used to give away that game that they just re-released for $30? ↩︎

  2. I have since learned riperiperi is the one of the developers behind Simitone and FreeSO. But I prefer mysteries. ↩︎
