* SequelDifficultySpike: ''Sim Edition four'' has the "Marked Houseguest" twist. Also ''Sims Big Brother 6'' featured a ''much'' more evil Big Brother, as well as the "Safety or Comfort" theme. (Several people could get safety for the week but at the same time, weren't allowed to use luxuries, had to take cold showers, and were on an instant meal diet. The chairs for non-nominees were also a lot less comfortable than the ones for nominees) ''All Stars'' was intended to be this way; largely because the majority of the houseguests were from seasons with public voting.

Added DiffLines:

SBB Brothers is the name of two Website/YouTube users who create ''Series/BigBrother''-themed {{Machinima}}, using ''VideoGame/TheSims2'' as a format (mostly due to the format and ease of use). The [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Sims Big Brother Brothers]] are both called Sims Reality Network and [=Simmer126=], and they create ''Sims Big Brother'' and ''Big Brother Sim Edition'', respectively.

While the shows both are based off of ''Big Brother', they do have differing formats:

'''''Sims Big Brother'''''\\
While the rules ''have'' changed depending on the seasons, the main set of rules is a combination of the formats used around the world. In all seasons, there exist Head of Household competitions, and the head of household nominates people for eviction. Depending on the season; the public either votes for which person to evict, or the houseguests vote to evict them. In seasons five and six, the houseguests also had a luxury task to win tokens and unlock luxuries around the house. In season two, there was a task but there were no tokens. Season two also featured a veto competition that was later changed to a random draw. other common twists in this edition are Double Eliminations; however they were changed to back-to-back eliminations in season six due to controversy in the fifth season. Back-to-Back eliminations are several houseguests are put up for eviction at once, and the one who receives the ''least'' amount of eviction votes isn't eliminated.

Season seven, as part of the "All stars" twist, went back to the "original format" used for seasons one to three, but also used the veto competition. However, in the end, the public decided who the winner was.

Twists to this game were:

'''Season One''': None \\
'''Season Three''': Secret Sisters \\
'''Season Four''': The House Next Door \\
'''Season Two''': Generations[[note]] This season was actually filmed after season four; the original season two was canceled early into production[[/note]] \\
'''Season Five''': The Season of Lies \\
'''Season Six''': Big Brother Goes Evil \\
'''Season seven''': The Summer of Pairs \\


'''''Big Brother Sim Edition'''''\\
This season follows the American version of the game most closely. In ''Sim Edition'', houseguests vote to evict one of the two nominees, placed up by the head of household. In all seasons, the public has not had much input over the game because it was not designed around AudienceParticipation. However; there was a big exception in season three, in which the public voted for the winner instead of a jury of previously-evicted houseguests. Outside of a few instances, there are not many differences between this version and the American version of ''Series/BigBrother'', or the early seasons of ''Sims Big Brother''. However; twists factor more into this edition of the game.

Twists to ''Big Brother Sim Edition'' include:

'''Season one''': Disappearing House items and Triple elimination\\
'''Season two''': The Termination room and Vacation Location[[note]]In which the rest of the game is played in a different house.[[/note]]\\
'''Season three''': Hidden Immunity Idol\\
'''Season four''': The Marked Houseguest[[note]]One houseguest was "marked" by the producers before the game. For every week s/he is still around in the game, the prize money is reduced.[[/note]]\\

Originally, Sims Reality Network had intended to have several more reality shows; one based off of ''Series/{{Solitary}}'', and another based off of ''Series/TheRealWorld'', but unfortunately they were canceled. [=Simmer126=] also had two seasons of ''Sim Edition'' before rebooting it in 2008, a third one was canceled mid-season, too.

Both shows, being produced by one person each, have been subject to [[ScheduleSlip production errors]]. There have been issues surrounding both users' computers, causing episodes to be lost. (The house for ''Sims Big Brother 4'', for example, had to be rebuilt several times, and the last episodes of ''Big Brother Sim Edition season 3'' were lost in one such accident.) The two recently announced that the current seasons will be the final ones, [=Simmer126=] has quit and closed his channel and Sims Reality Network has announced he will quit as well. The current seasons were canceled; and the outcome was revealed. However, Sims Reality Network has decided to start season 7 again.

!!These shows provide examples of:

* AHouseDivided: Alliances have done this several times.
* AllThereInTheManual: Several rule changes were not actually defined in-game. Not to mention; the story behind what happened to Seasons one and three for ''Sims Big Brother''.
** The final two episodes of ''Big Brother Sim Edition Season Three'' were lost and not remade.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Jafari and Jessica from Sims Big Brother 7.
* AudienceParticipation: Obviously the evictions are public. Season 7 (All-stars) allowed people to vote on their favourites, while the retooled (For the second time) season 7 allowed the public to vote on a dynamic duo to return to the game.
* BackFromTheDead: Spencer in ''Sims Big Brother Season 6'' earned a chance to return to the game due to Gary's NonGameplayElimination.
* BeachEpisode: Sometimes.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: The mothers in ''Sims Big Brother Season 6''.
* ButtMonkey: Pepper in ''Sim Edition 2''.
** Dora in ''Sims Big Brother Season 2'' due to losing the ''Series/{{Solitary}}'' style-challenge.
* CelebrityEdition: ''Sims Big Brother Season 7''.
* CharacterDevelopment: Keri in ''Sims Big Brother 6'' started off ''very'' emotional. Granted, she was still emotional throughout the game, but in the early episodes, she cries almost over ''everything''. There are other examples; but this is perhaps the most drastic. (And arguably the reason she had a chance at winning first place.)
* ComplainingAboutComplaining: A moment from ''Sims Big Brother 5 provides a page quote:
-->'''[=McKenzie=]:''' And now you're complaining about me complaining!\\
'''Griffin:''' You just complained about me complaining about you complaining.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The Mothers.
* DiabolusExMachina: The triple elimination in ''Sim Edition Season 1'' eliminated someone in a competition. The Termination Room in the second season of ''Sim Edition'' essentially meant that someone ''had'' to leave the game.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Blindsides; as well as Latonya in ''Season 6'' when she was eliminated.
* TheDitz: Common.
* DitzyGenius: A moment in ''Season 6'' when Allison finished a montage of stupid questions with a college-level description of the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
* TheDogBitesBack: Like with a lot of games about Alliances; people on the outs/previously targeted for eviction often win Head of Household and get revenge.
* {{Flanderization}}: In ''Sim Edition'', Jill became more or less the mean girl. In ''Sims Big Brother'', George became the mean guy, and Monica became the mean girl. (Though granted, she actually ''was'' better written than George. In her exit interview, she states that she wasn't fond of women due to a FreudianExcuse, and if one notices, she was actually a bit more vicious to the ''women'' than she was to the men...except for Trey).
* GenreSavvy: Most people who are shown in the show at least know a thing or two about the game. Justified given that the people making the show are big-time fans.
* GirlPosse: The Soul Sistas
* GoodIsNotDumb: Many of the designated good characters aren't. But then again though, some of the villains aren't dumb either.
* HotBlooded: A ''DUH''.
* IdiotBall: Yes Evan; drop out of the endurance competition... and give it to the person who was going after you the previous week. [[SarcasmMode Great idea]]. However Griffin actually ''did'' show intents of keeping that bargain, for at least one week.
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: Evan isn't there to make friends in ''Sims Big Brother all Stars'', he's there to stir the pot.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Griffin and Darby in ''Sims Big Brother 5''. Darby actually says that Griffin's old enough to be her father.
* JerkAss: George, Griffin, and Monica from ''Sims Big Brother'' and Jill from ''Sim Edition''. However; a lot of players of ''Sim Edition'' come off as this way.
* LimitedWardrobe: It's ''VideoGame/TheSims'', so it's justified.
* TheLoad: Greg in ''Sims Big Brother 2''. Lampshaded by both in ''All stars''.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Most players in ''Sims Big Brother All Stars''. It turned out to be their greatest second chance for Duncan, Greg, and Dana. Especially for Kristin. Averted with some others like Trey, Johnny, Griffin, Evan, Santana...
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Ada liked to take a spongebath in the ''kitchen sink'' in ''Big Brother Sim Edition''.
** However; averted with ''Sims big Brother'', in which, whenever the showers are in a rather open area, the players are told to shower in their bathing suits.
* NoDamageRun: In ''Sims Big Brother'', Sam and Keri made it to the finales without being nominated. Amy Wu in ''Sim Edition'' won without being nominated.
* NonGameplayElimination: Melissa and Scarlett quit in ''Sim Edition'', Gary was evacuated in ''Sims Big Brother 6''. Johnny left for a week, but came back in season four.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Alison in ''Sims Big Brother 6'' wasn't as stupid as she appeared. (ie, misspelling "Apple") If anything, she was like a disturbing precursor to [[Series/{{Survivor}} Fabio]]. Both pretended to be much dumber than they actually were, but weren't secret geniuses.
* ObviousRulePatch: Fast-Forward Elimination in ''Sims Big Brother'' was changed to Back-to-back elimination after Pamela's elimination lead to a lot of controversy.
* OddFriendship: Monica, who clearly didn't screw around, and Ryan, who ''really'' did a lot of funny stuff.
** Dustin and Ada in ''Sim Edition'', Mariam and Jill, too.
* OddlyNamedSequel: Due to chronological confusions; Season two of ''Sims Big Brother'' is put in between Seasons four and five.
* OnceASeason: In the early seasons, Dollhouse smashing in ''Sims Big Brother''. It's assumed that the vacation location will become once a season in ''Sim Edition''.
* OrphanedSeries: Sim Edition.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Griffin actually intending to honor the deal with Evan.
* OutOfFocus:
** Possibly why Yvette finished in third in ''Sims Big Brother 6''.
** Kimberly in ''Sims Big Brother 5'' was probably voted out for this very reason.
* PlayingBothSides: Logan in ''Sims Big Brother 5''. (Helped that he was also [[spoiler: The Liar]], too.)
* PreviouslyOn: Sometimes
* RealityShowGenreBlindness: Being written by fans of the show, thankfully a lot of the cast averts this. Although Scarlett in ''Sim Edition 4'' didn't seem to realize she'd be away from her family.
* SassyBlackWoman: Lakeisha in ''Sim Edition''.
* SequelDifficultySpike: ''Sim Edition four'' has the "Marked Houseguest" twist. Also ''Sims Big Brother 6'' featured a ''much'' more evil Big Brother, as well as the "Safety or Comfort" theme. (Several people could get safety for the week but at the same time, weren't allowed to use luxuries, had to take cold showers, and were on an instant meal diet. The chairs for non-nominees were also a lot less comfortable than the ones for nominees) ''All Stars'' was intended to be this way; largely because the majority of the houseguests were from seasons with public voting.
* ShoutOut: The two shows actually do this several times:
** At the very beginning of ''Sims Big Brother 5'', several houseguests shout out to the ''Sim Edition'' house to "Get rid of Pepper". This naturally shows up in the finale of ''Sim Edition 2''.
** Greg from ''Sims big Brother 2'' is actually a casting director for ''Sim Edition''.
** In the original ''Sims Big Brother 7'', Tarek from ''Sim Edition 3'' actually was one of the houseguests.
** SRN is actually a fan of WebAnimation/YouTubePoop.
* StraightGay: [=McKenzie=] in ''Sims Big Brother 5''. Played for drama early in the season, in which Albert regularly avoided Keegan (Who was openly gay) on purpose of him being gay, and [=McKenzie=] informed him that ''she'' was gay, too, and that he didn't seem to have any problem with her.
* SmugSnake: Monica
* SuicideByCop: Melissa attempted this in ''Sim Edition 2''.
* TakeThat: In ''Sims Big Brother 2''...
-->'''Michael:''' If you drop out now, the Jonas Brothers will perform live in your backyard.\\
'''Mercedes:''' Nobody move a muscle.
* TeamMom: The Mothers in ''Sims Big Brother 6''. Yvette ''obsessively'' cleaned the house and Keri was the main cook. Also; the majority of the house wanted to keep Kimberly around because she cooked for them and would have been TheLoad.
* ThanatosGambit: Melissa in ''Sim Edition''.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Most of the people evicted early in the game. As well as a lot of the cast of ''Sims Big Brother 4'', though this was due to writing issues.
