if you wanna make Muslim sims this is the post for you!
so since the sims added hijabs into the game, i have been seeing alot of beautiful hijabi sims everywhere! but even still people want to know more about Muslim women so they can play them correctly, and i have never been happier to help. its really not complicated, but ill break it down for everyone ( i want to add I AM MUSLIM AND I HAVE LIVED MY ENTIRE LIFE IN 3 DIFFERENT MUSLIM COUNTRIES UAE-EGYPT-SAUDI ARABIA so i know what i am talking about)
before we start you must all note that i am talking in general and there are always people who don’t follow the rules thou its not really ok to not follow the basic rules we are all human and adults and our choices are made for us only not made to please people or to avoid peoples judgment even in the religion itself it forbids people from judging others choices and askes them to focus on themselves instead
there are Muslims girls that don’t wear hijabs, and there are ones who do wear hijab with normal clothing, and some that wear it with long flowey dresses only, and there are Muslim girls who wear niqab and cover everything i will be discussing the ones who wear it with normal clothes since they are the most common around the world .
for hijabi girls the rule is cover everything but the wrists and foot and face
it must be worn outside all the time and in front of eligible males meaning you don’t have to wear it around people who cant marry you ( like uncles grandparents brothers etc.. )
it doesn't tell you what kind of clothes to wear but the two rules are it must not be sheer or too tight that you can see the body through it.
for Muslim girls in general the same rules about clothes apply but its accepted by people for non hijabi to wear short sleeves shirts or wide necklines but nothing to revealing.
again there are people who don’t follow this and its ok no judging!
Muslim children generally live with parents until they get married or travel abroad .
the family members are extremely close, they almost always have family gatherings once a week and share everything with each other .( i personally and a few other hate this and skip on gatherings and gossip lol )
they dont eat pork or anything with pork products, or drink alcohol in general .
in general everything must be approved by parents first, or at least the parents must know what is going on, and should be ok with it. for example guys and girls can go out on dates only if their parents say yes, the religion it self stresses that everything must be discussed and proved by family ,this is to encourage closeness, and to prevent people from making mistakes that could be avoided by someone elses experiences or point of view. it goes both way not just form parents to kids btw.
i know the stereotype about Muslim girls is shy oppressed and don’t have a say in who they marry but that is far from the truth. we can have relationships as long as there is nothing physical happening before marriage ( meaning no sex or touching ), some say holding hands is ok, some say its not. and some say kissing is ok, and some say its not. this depends on the individual and how much they wanna follow their religion but the general rule is no to getting physical, but girls can date and go out with guys and can have friends that are guys its fine ( with parents permission ofc) .
i don’t want to get into sexuality alot because this has to do with the individual but all i am gonna say is this in Arab countries its (anything but straight relationships) shunned by the older generation… but around the world you can see alot of different examples for lesbian or bi or gay Muslims if it is on tv or in real life.
i personally have gay friends and straight friends, but again this has to do with them and ITS THEIR CHOICE so please don’t argue, let people love who they want ❤
all the rules apply to males and females all except the covering up males are required to cover up from their waist to their knees with loose shorts nothing tight.
hope this helps if you have more questions dont hesitate to ask just please be respectful , no hate ❤ please reblog this so it could reach all of the simmers who might need these info❤
