"Finally I can see my sims fuck in first person." We were all thinking it, but this Twitter user said it.

In a recent Twitch livestream, EA announced that the ever-evolving world of Sims would be getting a first-person video mode in The Sims 4. Exciting, right?

You can watch your Sims do dishes, surf the web, meet neighbors, play with animals, brush their tee—just kidding, it is obviously time to bone.

EA packaged the update (which is accompanied by a number of other features) as innocently as ever. But in a game practically made famous by sexy dollhouse vibes, they had to have seen this coming.

The free update is set to release on November 13, shortly before the Sims 4 expansion pack "Get Famous" becomes available for purchase on November 16.

But players (and presumably modders) already have lots of plans in the works.

One mom on Twitter described her quest to use first-person mode with Wicked Whims, a notoriously NSFW mod that lines up just a little too well with the new POV option.

A more conservative player questioned what it would be like to pee.

Another looked forward to some SFW fun with physics!

Someone else took things to a more violent place.

And finally, one completely deranged Redditor pointed out something about the first-person no pants dance most of us really didn't need to consider.

Happy update, Simmers. Behave responsibly.
