Neighborhood Bloopers & Glitches

The life of a Sim is virtually idyllic. When the Summer sun shines, the sky is blue. You never need washing machines or lint brushes to keep your clothes looking perfect. Staying out in the rain too long won’t make you sick, the lawn never needs to be mowed and babies are always cute. But, as in real life, sometimes unexpected things happen. And with the advent of each new Expansion Pack, its inevitable that some bloopers should arise from the mix. Here are a few that I find especially entertaining…


Good conversation with dad makes Buck feel like he’s walking on air…literally.



Who knows what traffic’s like between a community lot and home when all you can see is a blue loading screen, but apparently something about the commute has gotten Maria bent out of shape…



Here things are back as they should be…except for the cool, semi-invisible minivan.



Titania is about to become the brunt of the oldest prank in the book, attempting to sit on a chair—that isn’t there!



Orlando was harmlessly watching TV when a new Expansion Pack was installed. Now his knees are stuck in a sofa cushion.



The chilly autumn night has made Mr. Tyler restless in his grave. What’s funny is that he’s wearing a winter coat! Virtual ghosts have feelings too, I guess.



Animals do the darndest things…and Sim Pets are no exception. They're virtually impervious to not only furniture and doors, but time and space as well!


Here it seems that this Toy Shop is having a slight problem with its doors not working properly.



Sometimes returning to a college dorm after all of the students have vacated can find things in complete disarray. Here, these chairs have yet to magically slide back into their places.



Whereas, occupied college dorms are constantly haunted by the presence of disembodied roommates. This roomie must be REALLY hungry.



A Young Adult Sim never lets anyone get in the way of doing something he or she truely loves to do!



Different strokes for different folks. After using the communal phone, not everyone agrees on the right way to return the receiver to its base.



This is not a glitch, just a dorm stove that is in desperate need of cleaning. Those messy teenagers!



…when pigs fly! Oh—well, I guess in the Sims 2 they really do!



That’s all for now. Check in next time to hear all about the Summerdream Farm!
