My favorite thing to do in the Sims is to use a bomb mod to bomb pre made neighborhoods, and institute a post apocalyptic “Handmaid’s Tale” setting where most of the women are put into re-education camps.
Even Rimworld players are side eyeing this person....
As a rimworld player I fear sims players. Rimworld has a certain degree of violence inherent to it, it's part of the game. The Sims though? Particularly unmodified Sims? It inspires creativity. Horrifying, horrifing, creativity.
Part of rimworld is about the horrible shit you are forced to do. The sims players do all of this BY CHOICE
Forced is a bit of a cop out. Nobody is forced to take a masochist pawn, cut off their arms and legs, and rig them up with a joywire and psychic harmonizer. And nobody ever made hundreds of human skin hats out of necessity.
Though I have on one occasion initiated a nuclear meltdown due to a particularly nasty infestation that caused a full evacuation. The full cataphract armored kill team I sent to reclaim the base got trashed but one managed to limp to the reactor and shut off the cooling.
Oh and the one time I stored an antigrain warhead next to something electrical and a zzt blew the whole base to hell but that wasn't on purpose.
Man, I fucking love Rimworld. I've got like 200 hours in the game, and I still have no idea what half of the shit you just said even is.
I guess encouraged would have been a better word...
Can confirm. I play Rimworld. (Though, tbh, my worst habit is accumulating way too many animals. Like, pages worth of named or trained dogs and wolves, plus quail.)
Take about 10% off the top there, Trump
There's parents who don't care about which games their kids play.
There's parents who only allow games appropriate for children, perhaps like Sims.
Then there's kids who play GTA like driving simulator.
And then there's this one kid.
I made a women and added some cats. The cats broke all the furniture and were so costly that the woman had a mental break down.

I am currently at war with my cat Barca cause he keeps knocking shit over while I'm asleep immediately waking me up. So accurate.
I want a whole green text screenshot series about bingo the murder clown
I really enjoyed the Sims 2 on the Xbox because it was co-op and I was eager to see how they handled co-op in future games.
Then I found out that they just never did co-op again and I was incredibly disappointed.
Couch co-op sims was the cosiest thing ever.
Such a missed opportunity for great co-op Sims games. I LOVED the co-op Sims 2.
There are co-op mods for Sims 4, but you and your friend have to go in and manually disable any packs that the other doesn't have, and it gets a little buggy every once in a while.
Still grateful it exists!
Back in The Sims 2, I found out if a community/public lot had at least 1 coffee machine, you could keep your sim there forever to grind for stats and relationships without getting older. Hygiene too low? Just wash hands.
Frankenstein in a nutshell
I do not play the Sims, and am vaguely familiar with the concept of the game being controlling a families day to day life. What does the "extreme violence mod" do (that you can turn it off and somehow lose track of a character capable of it)
The mod adds well, extreme violence. It lets sims murder other sims in various ways (also adds non-deadly violence)
You can make it so only specific sims you've enabled it for can do it, and you can make said sims do the violence out of free will.
The clown was probably placed in the neighbourhood in its own house, set to high free will, and high violence. Then the player went and played with their own family of sims.
Then if the clown ever came to visit (other sims in the neighbourhood will sometimes just show up to visit you) it'd start murdering. Events like a wedding usually invites everyone in the neighbourhood, so the clown showed up and started doing violence.
and you can make said sims do the violence out of free will.
I think I just had a brain aneurism reading that :p
In my defence I was drunk.
username checks out...
So was it actually triggering the violence and it happened to not be present or does it have a higher chance/ only trigger when the player is involved? Or would it just....stay home existing and not capable of triggering until it was called to the gathering?
Thanks for the explanation!
Within a neighbourhood you usually open one house and all the others and their occupants are "paused" mid-activity. However Sims from the "paused" houses can randomly visit the one you have open without breaking the continuity of their own household.
E.g. you leave one house with the sim in the shower, go play a different house and hey presto the sim that was in the shower comes to visit. You then switch back to the other house and the sim is still in the shower.
So the murder clown would be paused in his house doing nothing yet still be making cameo visits around the neighbourhood.
Reminds me of the ending of Parasite lol
Amazing film.
If you haven't seen Memories of Murder, I think it's Bong Joon Ho's best movie (that I've seen).
There is a fight scene where the main character just runs in and dropkicks a dude at full speed that is somehow so good. Like I think he really just dropkicks him irl lol.
I've seen memories, the drop kick guy does not miss a chance to throw one lol
I had to rewind and watch the scene like three times, I was cracking up.
Possibly one of the more realistic fight scenes I've seen in a film though. There are a few in that movie that are just so on point.
