In 2004, Mod The Sims was created to allow you to make even more changes than the original character design allowed for. Since average joes were allowed to mess with the code, this produced some interesting results. Most of the time, this would just cause the game to crash. However sometimes, it created interesting glitches and terrifying situations that haunted the dreams of players for years.
These glitches didn’t stop with subsequent versions. They just changed in nature. Add to that the wacky things Sims get up to when they’re allowed to have free will, and player choices, and you get a lot of fails. There are dozens of blogs dedicated to these fails, but we’ve brought you some of the best.
15 Alien Child From Another Planet
What makes this photo great is that the other Sim in the room doesn’t seem to think this is a problem, almost like this sort of thing happens all of the time. When you realize it’s supposed to be a child and not some amorphous alien from one of the far corners of the galaxy, then you’ll see this for the nightmare fuel it really is.
14 A Face Only A Mother Could Love
One thing is for sure, this child has only a face (and arms and legs) a mother could love. Speaking of which, maybe the mother is partially to blame for this abomination. What could a human mate with that would produce this kind of offspring?
13 One True Love
12 A Little Too Lifelike
Sometimes The Sims can get a little too lifelike. And when that happens, it’s hard not to take a long hard look at your life and ask yourself what you’re doing wrong. It’s easy to spend hours on the internet. Anyone who has a Tumblr account knows how much time you can spend looking into the navy blue void held within. Endless scrolling makes it easy to keep looking through posts until you realize you’ve spent your whole day on Tumblr and forgot to go to work. When your Sim starts to emulate that behavior, you can’t decide whether to laugh or to cry. Your fantasy life doesn’t have a life either, and if that isn’t the most depressing thing on the internet, we don’t know what is.

8 Don’t Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth
Horses aren’t known for talking or being humanlike, let alone sending wedding gifts. There are enough movies about talking animals that we can guess how they would behave, but no one would have guessed a horse to act like this. This horse seems to have taken a shining to this Sims life, like the old ladies in the neighborhood you grew up in who have nothing better to do than keep track of everything you do in your life. No one sent her an invitation, but somehow she found out about it anyways and is sending you a unique wedding gift that you’re sure not to get multiples of. Apparently, they have as much taste as your estranged uncle who you’ve only met a handful of times in your life. Who decided it was a good idea to give a horse a gift card to Bed, Bath, and Beyond anyways?
7 Vogue, Vogue, Fashion, Baby
Sims are known for not doing things the way they should be done. From taking 3 hours to use the bathroom, to dancing in front of the mirror in order to boost their charisma. This Sim has discovered a new way to hold a child that definitely should not be attempted at home. Is this a satire on high fashion? If so, where are the designer gowns and paparazzi? She’s found her way to a runway, but no one seems to have gotten the invitation to this fashion show. What this Sim lacks in fashion taste, she makes up for in sheer wrist strength. She has to work out if she can hold that 10+ pound bundle in such a strange position and walk the runway for more than a few seconds.
6 Cooking Mama From Hell
At least one of them realizes that what is happening is wrong. But she isn’t doing anything to stop the other Sim from cooking her child when there’s a door not ten feet away. What would possess a sim to cook their child in the first place?
5 Have You Signed The Guest Register?
It’s hard to tell what’s scarier: the fact that a Sim is going through a table, or that the killer from Friday the 13th forgot to take his mask off before putting on his formal wear. Whether he was invited by the bride or the groom, no one is going to be asking him any awkward questions any time soon. The first person to ask him to take off his mask might find an unexpected wedding gift shoved through their chest. Along with his sheer brute strength, Jason Voorhees has also figured out how to bend the laws of physics so he can walk through solid objects. Is that how he shows up uninvited in so many places? Probably a wise choice that he decided to leave his machete at home, although it could come in handy when cutting the cake!
4 They’ve Worked Up Quite An Appetite
The older games had a limit to the reality of the textures they could load. Even if they had loaded properly, there was no guarantee it would look lifelike. This is one of those those times. The texture of this jam sure makes things interesting. Bet you thought it was blood, didn’t you? To be far, some jams in real life can have a blood like color to them. As far as we know, EA games hasn’t made an expansion where you can make your Sim into a cannibal, and then have romantic relationships with other cannibals. That would be going a little too far. Hopefully, EA won’t try it out to see what their players would do. There’s bound to be at least a handful of people who would venture down that path.
