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

Mac already saw this, but this happened today after I reinstalled some of my Sim's 2's and got my old houses back.  
I think the game felt the price needed to be knocked down a little......



This one is a much more appropriate price.

Those headless pictures weren't too bad until I got to the one where he's in bed. That was just disturbing!

I also like the house where apparently they're willing to pay you to live there.

I've seen lots of body-less heads (usually due to missing body meshes) but this is the first time I've seen a headless body... Brrrrr!

That would be incredibly nice to get paid to live somewhere, LOL. I wish I would have tried to move a Sim into that house before I reinstalled all the rest of the EP's (that fixed the glitch) to see what would've happened.

Yikes! I don't think I've ever seen a HEADLESS Sim, Paisley.
I agree with Cher. The one in bed IS disturbing!
I remember once, long time ago, there was a blue face where the head should be...


... but never the head missing completely that I can recall!
What caused that, Paisley? Did you ever find out?

I've had those outrageous prices show up when I've downloaded a custom lot.
Usually, that occurs when the creator had a later EP or SP that you do not have installed.
For example, the creator has ALL EPs and SPs up to M & G, but you only have up to Bon Voyage, let's say.
Weird stuff with overblown prices usually happen and worse, when you go to purchase and enter the lot...
It can crash your game!

Thank you for sharing your strange game occurrences here, Paisley.
It's okay to share 4-5 pics in a post, btw! No need to double post!

FYI HERE you will find size requirements, etc. for sharing images at SP.

I enjoyed looking at your snapshots!

Oh wow...I had something like that in my game the other night Sugah...one of the college people's face was transparent and there was like this shadow of a face sticking out over there left shoulder...I think I got a shot, I'll have to post it later!

There it is...

Oh my! I've never had the blue face. I did have a Sim who reached the top of the villain career. Whenever she flew to work, she returned invisible. If I could manage to click on her just right and have her change clothes or shower, she'd reappear. If I could stop her before she flew off and just have her walk or drive to work, she didn't return invisible.

Tim, thank you for sharing your college student's blue face snapshot.
Crazy stuff, isn't it? Did she return to normal eventually?
Mine happened a long time ago, but I believe he lost the creepy blue shadow of a face at some point.



Woah, Cher, that's wild!!!
Did you ever figure out what caused her to return invisible when she flew home from work?
You know, I don't think I've ever had a Sim in the Criminal Career.
At least not that I can recall. I oughta have a bad guy/villainous-type in my Tres Lagos 'hood.
Could make it more interesting...

Usually with most facial issues, click a mirror and tell them to change appearance...As soon as you get control again, exit and their face/hair whatever should be fixed. lol

Speaking of blue faces, I played Elle's April    as a teen, thru college, but when she became an adult this happened. It might be because I made her an adult in CAS, moved her into a house, then turned her into a teen again via Sim Manipulator. I've done the same with teens Octavia and Andrea. They're now heading to college and we'll see what happens when they become adults.


Almost certainly nothing to do with Elle's contribution. I fixed her up with the Sim Manipulator plastic surgeon.

Also this:

Richard William Windsor (my version of the royal heir) had the  misfortune of having his main squeeze move in with someone else. When I went to play him again, I found that his loss had really shaken him up. Since then, he's found true love with Elle's    Gwendolyn James (among other things, they both have the pleasure aspiration)

I am not sure what caused Tim's issue. But Mac the issue You are seeing is a problem EA created in the game, It's caused by aging a sim to an age that was before the age the sim started at. So say they started as an adult and You selected any age below that, Then the blue face syndrome would appear. Though I though EA fixed that issue in one of the expansion packs, But then again EA could have reintroduced the bug somehow. As You found out, Just using plastic surgery will fix it.

Thanks Aaroneous!

I suppose holding the 'phone this way might work. Later on, in another call, she held the 'phone properly. It's probably a good thing she's not trying texting.   BTW the sim here is Caleb's Tamara Sloane  

Mac, thank you for sharing your strange game occurrences.
I always enjoy seeing our members' TS2 Twilight Zone moments.
...And another blue-faced Sim!
Glad you were able to get Elle's beauty (April) back to normal.

I did not know that, Aaron. Interesting and good information!

I've never had the blue face, but until recently, I've never changed the age of a downloaded sim. The one I did change, I changed up, so I guess his face will be just fine.

Poor Richard William Windsor was really distraught, wasn't he?

For a while I've been using hacks to allow teenagers to enter the game all by themselves. Elle's Andrea and Octavia are about to go to univ, then become adults, then blue face???

In the future I think I may revert to a tactic I used to use: When I encountered a teenager I wanted to play, I'd load the teenager into CAS, turn him/her into an adult and save that adult as the start of a family. Then go back, load the teenager into CAS again but this time add the teen to the family as a teen. I've had single moms with daughters; I have yet to have single dads with sons; it would also be possible to create a spouse for a single parent in CAS. Judicious use of hairstyles, etc can make the parent look sufficiently different from the offspring.

I am not sure what caused it. But recently one my families had their family picture(the one You see from the neighborhood view) updated and apparently did not come out correctly. As You can see the little girl in red has her arms straight out to each side.

FYI for those that do any meshing know that the pose the girl is in, Is the default pose that almost all body meshes start at.


Again I do not know what caused this. But the game spawned not 1, Not 2, But 6 skunks in my sim's front yard. Needless to say the house went into lock down mode.

Aaron Both things very spooky and worrying. I and several others have had a legion of gardeners at times. Could the skunks phenomenon be similar? You will find more blue faces on page 1 of this thread and the legion of gardeners on page 2.

There is a good chance the event that causes multiple Gardeners to be created are related to there being multiple skunks being created. From what I have seen the games uses a lot of the same code to create new or spawn existing characters(especially NPCs). Though what would cause the issue is beyond me. It Could be anything from the code being stuck in a loop, To the game passing the wrong or bad data to the character creation code.

Weirdness...

I got one Sim, Angela Pleasant, periodically she will appear at a home or business lot and get's stuck at the entry portal...can't move on into the lot area, can make her selective but if you try to move/teleport her she starts 'spinning' clockwise in the four directions...

SIX SKUNKS?!? YIKES!
That's wild, Aaron! I had it happen with multiple gardeners years ago, but never skunks!

This makes sense, though the how and why of it remains a mystery, as you mentioned.

Spinning clockwise in four directions ...
How peculiar, Tim! And it only happens to Angela Pleasant in your game?
What do you make of this? Anyone?

Thank you for sharing in this thread, as always, folks!

Nor have I, Cher! I've had non-showerproof bodies disappear while just their heads took showers in my game ...
But never a complete Sim disappearing ... And on the TOILET!?!
