Strange Game Occurrences ... You are now entering the Twilight Zone.

I can see them, Aaron!
This sounds like a silly question, but is the entire house covered with a roof?
I've had gaps before that I was unaware of that created odd occurrences in game.

 

Yes the roof covers the entire house, I made sure of that when I built it. I suspect it has something to do with one of the walls that create the border of the house. What I mean is that part of the border is made up of diagonal walls which I have observed can cause problems with some parts of the game.

Interesting! I didn't know that! Good information, Aaron!

IRT-

I can't say I remember You posting that before, But I have seen other people with the same problem.

That fish  . . . Oh my!  

The fireflies . . . I want to ask if someone left the window open.  

The body-less babe . . . I haven't seen yours before, Sugah, but I have had that happen with one of my sims, I think from my Royal Kingdom challenge.  They didn't have a shower, so it wasn't as obvious as yours was, but his body-less head would float above the bath and sometimes over the bed when he was making out or woohooing with his wife.  That was . . . interesting.  It didn't stop him from fathering children though.

I have a weird glitch with apartments, a couple of my residents (in different apartments) have picked up an interesting accessory.  I took a double take when I first saw it.  



And a weird wedding occurrence.   This mother and son are very close.  Sometimes it's almost like they're the same person.  

Oh my! I haven't had either of those things happen in my game. I like how the woman in the blue dress looks like she can't bear to look at the conjoined mother and son.

The sim with the hand mirror looks like the Primp interaction(I think it came with Night Life), I know very neat or outgoing sims will do this autonomously. I know it improves hygiene a small amount, Just don't let vampires do it(lose a small bit of comfort and will hiss at the mirror). 

Can't say I have ever seen sims over lap quite like that.

Interesting interpretation. I thought she was just swooning over the young man in her thought bubble, but maybe you're right!

I didn't mean to imply that I thought the primp action was odd, but that she's primping while some random pterodactyl statue stuck to the top of her head. Though the primp action is new to me too. I didn't know it improved hygiene and lessened comfort for vampires. That's interesting.

Here's a better picture of the pterodactyl. (Not as funny as the primping one where she seems pleased with her new look.)

On page 8 of this thread, one of my simmies had a potted plant. Potted plant - pterodactyl... Who cares ? What's the difference???

I guess I didn't remember that your sim had a potted plant on their head or maybe I just missed that post previously. . . Does it matter?


Was she living in an apartment at the time?  I've had at least two sims living in apartments with this same deco object on their heads, they both were fine before moving to an apartment.  I'm just wondering if it's the same glitch.

No, she was a teenager (now a YA) standing in front of the house she was living in. I've more or less given up on apartments. (Different problem, previous tenants never really left but hung around - spooky    )

Actually, a pillbox hat with a pterodactyl decoration is rather stylish, don't you think?

Love it!
I've always enjoyed your sense of humor, Em!

What a trip that is!!! And this only happens in apartments?
That is WILD!!!

Here's looking (back) atcha!

YIKES! Now, THAT'S gotta hurt!

It's funny you should post this just now, Mac.
I watched "Death Becomes Her" with Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep last night.
At one point, when Meryl's character falls down a full flight of stairs, she gets up and her head and body are twisted the same way as in your Sim pic!

Sugah, I saw that movie so many years ago! I remember that scene.

A little spoiler about who appears next in my game ... I guess she gets along very well with her horse. Good thing he's not a kicker.

Hahaha! Great capture, Cher! Love it!

It was a waaaay freaky scene, especially back then, wasn't it, Lady C?

Oh my! I think she's a little too close to her horse!

Recently when I was playing a couple of my sims decided to woohoo, but for some reason the animations were off and while the guy was contorting under the covers, the girl was still sitting in the cuddle position. By the time she went under the covers, he was finished and getting out of bed. It was . . . interesting.



Also in this hood I have a cc waterfall that functions as a shower on several of my lots. It's a little glitchy, because if I direct my sims to do something else before they fully get out of the shower and redress, they don't bother to redress at all until after they've completed the action I directed them to do. I've had a lot of sims cooking and dinner naked on those lots that use that waterfall. This guy I had directed to use the pottery wheel. No, really, it's alright if you finish your shower and dress first. I wasn't that anxious for you to get back to work.

You have nudist sims!

@ Em! Love it! Too funny!

Wow, Hysterical is talented with that one handed jump roping!

I had the same thought when I saw that pic, Em!

Em wrote:

When I write and take screenshots for my stories, like Arrendale Heights.  I really try to get inside my character's heads.

I do, too! I find myself weaving back stories for the sims I create specifically for the site. It really helps me add those little touches that makes each sim unique.

From the outside, that's this fellow by the way.  In this neighborhood I named him Simon.

Now that's an inside look, lol.

This isn't a strange occurrence, but it amuses me to see two stinking bottles, a dirty diaper, and a baby on the floor. You can't see her, but the nanny is sitting on her behind watching TV. My niece and I find it endlessly funny that this kind of thing isn't even bad nannying in the world of Sims.

Hey, his right arm was still working, so why not?!

Here it appears Donovan is actually sitting on his beloved Dobie.

Hmmm ... where exactly IS Jack putting that (rather transparent) fish?

Another funny thing happened. I don't have pics and they're really not relevant.

A burglar visited, a cop came but the burglar beat up the cop. Usually at this point the burglar flees and the cop moans. In this instance, the burglar couldn't flee (probably no path available). They fought again and this time the cop won and took the burglar to jail.  

I've had that happen in my game Mac. I'm not sure what blocks them, either. You would think he would have plotted his escape routes before entering or move it when he wins the fight, .

@Aaron & Cher: The indoor fireflies is a first for me, too!

I know guys like to straddle chairs, but I don't think this is how it's done.



That's Russ, by the way, talking hats with Jenn.

Ow! Ow! Ow!

OUCH!

Ouch is right! Oy vey!

Thank you for sharing, Cher.
After all these years, I still enjoy seeing strange game occurrences!!!

It's okay, guys, his head returned within a few hours...








But his body disappeared the next day. (NO joke!! Trying to find the picture of him body-less!)

These kinds of things never get old.
