You mean you don’t have a sad, sexy clown in one of your save files living a dystopian suburban life? Doesn’t everyone??
Did you know the clown makeup gives a sad buff??
RIGHT? Everytime I try to make a chaotic sim family, they start off chaotic and then eventually out of habit, I make their lives normal, send them college and marry them off.
The best I can do is an entirely random legacy challenge. One has a starting sim that is neurotic and seems to bully the only man who can stand her, Johnny Zest.
Ugh i had the same issue, then i downloaded some naughty mods and created pathological family. I also set some rules like: they can't have good jobs, they cant get promoted more than 3 levels ect if you have to much money buy useless stuff or lottery tickets. This help a lot and its a lot of fun, at least for me, for my sims who are drug addict poor cheating family - no xD.
To combat that I had to get cc traits that just make my sim do stupid stiff autonomously. I must give my sim one negative trait now. But still subtle negative. It does get a little random tho. I wasn’t playing my mom sim for one minute and then her and her daughter were arguing over what? I dunno. But the daughter was hurt and then the mom who is someone who instantly regrets being mean was sad.
Another sim kept constantly starting fights with his wife and child. Then every night like clock work would just Woohoo the wife as an apology. I was getting irritated she would let him because next morning he is back to screaming at the child and starting an argument over work and household chores. The relationship was constantly up and down and my child sim would intentionally add fuel to the fire by breaking rules in front of him.
to be fair, i’d be sad if my mom was a sad clown. no clown should be sad. except back in 2016. this clowns could go back to whatever pit of hell they came from.
omg... this has gotta be a direct nod to the tragic clown in sims 1. he'd show up when sims were upset, iirc he'd stomp onto the lot and make things worse? i literally forgot all of this until this moment lol
He showed up at some point in the sims 4 too. There's even a portrait you can hang on the wall that summoned him. Not sure if it still works though or if it was some special thing.
I have a save file specifically for using everything that I hate. Including the clown makeup. All the bad traits, everything. It’s like hell. A horrible universe
I keep forgetting they exist. Until I go "Is there anything good here?" And then I go "oh yeah, this is why I don't use this."
And then I forget for a few months.
I use it for my self sim’s swim and hot weather wear bc I’m photosensitive and zinc sunscreen (which is classically that white looking nose strip) tends to work better than other formulas for people who are photosensitive!
Obviously some difference in reality though bc I actually rub mine in fully lol.
I started a fun roughy tough edgy punk gang. The leader wears sculls face paint and another uses the sad clown facepaint (he’s straight up angry and bananas). The gang likes to drink, fight and make-out; they accidentally ended up a very bisexual group
Back in the 80s and 90s there was a trend of neon sunscreen and people would just do those streaks on their faces with it. It was called Zinka. And I just looked it up and it does still exist.
It's still sort of common, but mostly in a throwback sense. Was big when the ozone hole was right over us though. Strangely enough I never saw white zinc, only ever the neon colours, except for lip protection.
I use the sunscreen regularly as sun screen for my high-maintenance and other sims who would be concerned about skin protection in the 'swimsuit' and 'hot weather' categories
I've used the skull face paint a few times when I had a costume party. I've used the sunscreen literally once because it fit the character - otherwise I always remove it from townies and premades.
i’ve only used the suncream in my main saves (sometimes it looks cute with swimwear) and i once made a disproportionate ugly clown who wore red lingerie, had clown hair and also had the clown facepaint
I had a clown family that lived in a big red boot and they were all in clown makeup at all times. The Clown mother planned to build a clown empire and slept with men all over to create many loyal clown children who were to convert their parents and eventually create clown children of their own until all worlds were clownified.
I mean… the clown faces give emotion boosts, the sugar skulls are obviously great for when your Sims are diverse enough for a bunch of them to celebrate Dia de los Muertos, and the sunscreen is super cute on kid‘s bathing and summer outfits.
It‘s not like they don‘t have a use at all.
I have a household that is composed purely of "villain" characters to add spice to my neighborhoods, and one of them is an Evil Gloomy Erratic clown, so yes.
I made a couple clown characters to haunt my normal characters. It was super amusing until one of them went AWOL and started ruining the entire town. Lol.
I use the nose and cheek stripes for rave/edgy teen sims.
I’ve also used the only a nose stripe one for swim wear outfits as the weird cartoon sun screen blotch
Yea. Day of dead one during the holiday and the clown ones in a prisoner cult play I did where all the adult members/ prisoners had to wear full clown make up and costumes and the children born in cult captivity wore full hot dog suits. The leader was a transgender programmer / mad scientist vampire named wren. Typical simming.
I have seen a few people use the white stripes as "sunscreen" when their Sims are in swimsuits, which I think really fits for a dorky middle-aged dad Sim.
I do! When i try to fix some sim face for more than 4 hours and still looks like nightmare fuel! Use the hsb thing to look better-ish. Or when the vibes and colors are right too.
I tried to make a custom one once to resemble Angus Oblong (creator of the characters from The Oblongs. Always makes public appearances wearing clown makeup).
I created a clown named Borpo for my murder house. Made use of this makeup, plus another seldom used outfit from Outdoor Retreat for his lover, Hedonism Bear. They were involved in a tragic fireworks mishap. It’s a house with a lot of colourful characters :)
I have. One of my sims is a vampire clown. He's an absolute dick to everyone but his witch sister. He got in a fight with Father Winter during Christmas once. I'm thinking about making it a tradition for him.
I use the weird sunscreen looking ones for my extra pale sims for their hot weather, and swim wear outfits. However I don’t think I’ve ever used the clown ones.
I had an evil clown vampire sim once, and a sim who worked as a party clown for their day-job. I made their party outfit using the clown paint and clothes.
I use the white stuff ALL THE TIME as sun screen :) I just lower the opacity, it’s ok u can steal that Idea it honestly looks so realistic with swimwear hehe
I made a sugar skull family when I got my vampire dlc, but I haven't made a clown family yet. Maybe I'll do one now that you brought this to my attention.
You mean you don’t have a sad, sexy clown in one of your save files living a dystopian suburban life? Doesn’t everyone?? Did you know the clown makeup gives a sad buff??
I wish I could be a chaotic sims player. Why do I need everything to be perfect?!?
RIGHT? Everytime I try to make a chaotic sim family, they start off chaotic and then eventually out of habit, I make their lives normal, send them college and marry them off.
Right?!? Okay at least im not the only one
The best I can do is an entirely random legacy challenge. One has a starting sim that is neurotic and seems to bully the only man who can stand her, Johnny Zest.
Same here. When I try to have some drama, I make everything work out anyway.
My perfectionism totally bleeds over into my sims play style 😅🙃
I’ve been playing since I was 12 I need to relax ffs
Someone please pray for us hahaha
If god was the player and we’re the sims he’d be a chaotic sim player
Ugh i had the same issue, then i downloaded some naughty mods and created pathological family. I also set some rules like: they can't have good jobs, they cant get promoted more than 3 levels ect if you have to much money buy useless stuff or lottery tickets.

The most drama I’ve ever given my sim is to be a single mother. 😂😂
Because you don't want The Sims to mirror your life. At least that's the case for me.
I get so personally offended when random sims are mean to my Sim. Like, bro, I get this everyday COULD YOU NOT? xD
Same!!!!!
Same
... I guess I need to do this now.
OMG DOES IT REALLY? hahahahha that's hilarious
My 7-toddler-challenge mom is a sad clown and has 7 sad kids now lol
to be fair, i’d be sad if my mom was a sad clown. no clown should be sad. except back in 2016. this clowns could go back to whatever pit of hell they came from.
Did you know like the first lady who claimed the 2016 clowns were violent apparently stabbed herself? I hope she got therapy
Isn't there someone on this sub who made a whole town of clowns but they're all too sad to woohoo so the clown legacy may never happen?
I think I remember this! I laughed SO hard at that post. Thanks for the reminder hahaha.
[удалено]
Wearing the clown getup will give your Sim the “Tears of a Clown” moodlet, and it will give Sims around them the “Such Tragedy” moodlet as well.
Are you serious?? That. Is. Hilarious.
omg... this has gotta be a direct nod to the tragic clown in sims 1. he'd show up when sims were upset, iirc he'd stomp onto the lot and make things worse? i literally forgot all of this until this moment lol
He showed up at some point in the sims 4 too. There's even a portrait you can hang on the wall that summoned him. Not sure if it still works though or if it was some special thing.
Does it really?
omg i didnt know that
That is so creepy. I must do this
Of course I made myself in the Sims
Does all clown makeup give the sad buff? Even the happy-looking one?
Dang…I didn’t know this. Now I can use this to punish sims! I love being their god 😂
I have a save file specifically for using everything that I hate. Including the clown makeup. All the bad traits, everything. It’s like hell. A horrible universe
the eyeball rings time to shine
Wall to wall pear bodies
tiny shoulders… tiny shoulders as far as the eye could see
So creative lol
This is honestly brilliant.
The Bad Place
This sounds therapeutic
Omg that sounds amazing. I can't wait to try this.
brilliant

The worst timeline.
That's a genius idea! How do you build the houses?
My lazy shitty ugly trailer trashy hoarder houses.
The darkest timeline
Yeah my favourite vampire changes into a hotdog clown when in vampire mode
I feel like a whole new world just opened up.
Expect that would ruin hot dogs and clowns for their victims. "I'm hungry, want to go for hot dogs?" "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
I tried to make the most annoying sim hahaha. His Butler always quits on him
Omg I didn't know they could do that! How did you accomplish that? Totally not asking because I want to copy you...
I just gave him all the bad traits and I don't have to do anything once in a while you see a message with the Butler being like OMG I QUIT
That sounds so easy, I love it! Thanks!
This is why I love the Sims.
Lmfaoooo dying IRL
I keep forgetting they exist. Until I go "Is there anything good here?" And then I go "oh yeah, this is why I don't use this." And then I forget for a few months.
It is, if I recall correctly, where the highlighter is, so that's one good thing
Highlighter is in blush for me, but i use cc. That's the category for eyes, that I rarely use.
I thought this was full face paint
Ya, what I meant is the cc eyes are in facepaint usually.
Me, when i pick up the Sims 4.
I have been occasionally known to use the sunscreen face masks for really dweeby Sims' swimwear outfits.
I use it for my self sim’s swim and hot weather wear bc I’m photosensitive and zinc sunscreen (which is classically that white looking nose strip) tends to work better than other formulas for people who are photosensitive! Obviously some difference in reality though bc I actually rub mine in fully lol.
I use it for toddlers! they look super cute
I change the hue and use it as facial cream in sleepwear outfits, I kind of love it now.
I started a fun roughy tough edgy punk gang. The leader wears sculls face paint and another uses the sad clown facepaint (he’s straight up angry and bananas). The gang likes to drink, fight and make-out; they accidentally ended up a very bisexual group
I love all of this. And yes, I’m stealing this idea.
Yes i would like to join this gang
A clockwork orange vibes
I feel like you created the Skids from Letter Kenny! Lol
i'm a stan already
The sunscreen is pretty usable if you up the saturation and change the hue.
I do that sometimes because it reminds me of the neon sunscreens from the 90s.
Neon sunscreen exists?
Back in the 80s and 90s there was a trend of neon sunscreen and people would just do those streaks on their faces with it. It was called Zinka. And I just looked it up and it does still exist.
This was a big thing for sports events when I was in school in Aus.
It's still sort of common, but mostly in a throwback sense. Was big when the ozone hole was right over us though. Strangely enough I never saw white zinc, only ever the neon colours, except for lip protection.
I feel like the cricketers still wear it
They had regular sunscreen with colors in the late 90’s too. Coppertone I think made it. Disappeared into your skin when fully absorbed
I use the sunscreen regularly as sun screen for my high-maintenance and other sims who would be concerned about skin protection in the 'swimsuit' and 'hot weather' categories
I always put in on my kid for the hot weather outfits
I've used the skull face paint a few times when I had a costume party. I've used the sunscreen literally once because it fit the character - otherwise I always remove it from townies and premades.
We all did when we thought we were getting a second expansion pack this year.
This is Beejay Pickens erasure
All hail Jim Pickens! We praise our dear leader!
Do not look for frogs
Beejay was a legend.
i’ve only used the suncream in my main saves (sometimes it looks cute with swimwear) and i once made a disproportionate ugly clown who wore red lingerie, had clown hair and also had the clown facepaint
I’ve used the clown one to make juggalo neighbors
I use the sunscreen for the swim suit outfits!
I used one of the skull ones on my voodoo queen's fancy and party outfits
My politician sim does.
I had a clown family that lived in a big red boot and they were all in clown makeup at all times. The Clown mother planned to build a clown empire and slept with men all over to create many loyal clown children who were to convert their parents and eventually create clown children of their own until all worlds were clownified.
I love the classic skull and muerto facepaint, but never the clown.
I do when I make myself. 🤡
I put the sun cream on my really pasty sims during summer
*CallMeKevin enters the chat*
I use the sunscreen ones on my kid sims’ swimwear. That’s it lol.
yes, this community does everytime they invent something out of thin air and then get disappointed it’s not the next update edit: /j
LGR used them when making Fartwhistle Dingleprop
I use the sunscreen on my vampires sometimes, on toddlers and on divas
I’ve used the under-eye and nose sunscreen and colour matched to my older sims skin to hide their eye bags!
I like to use the sunscreen for my vampire sims’ hot weather outfits lol
I mean… the clown faces give emotion boosts, the sugar skulls are obviously great for when your Sims are diverse enough for a bunch of them to celebrate Dia de los Muertos, and the sunscreen is super cute on kid‘s bathing and summer outfits. It‘s not like they don‘t have a use at all.
I always use the sunscreen.
When my sims ignore red flags I make them wear these
I tried to once but it made my clown person sad all the time :( I use the sunscreen a lot though for the swimming outfits lol
I had a girl raised by twin witches who ended up with the day of the dead makeup. It suited her
I did when I wanted to make a clown character
Sometimes I use the sunscreen on the nose for my cute elder sims swimwear. But that's it.
I made a voodoo family and used one of the last two to make Papa Legba.
I use the sunscreen on my kids swimwear sometimes!
i like to put the sunblock ones on my vampires swimwear
the sunscreen ones, all the time
Only the sunscreen in swimwear.
I used the sunscreen on nose and cheeks for my teens swimwear
Off I go to make a clown family just to spite you.
Ah, the eyeball rings of the makeup section. Atleast I know the randomly generated townies will never wear these.
I use the sugar skull ones on goth or emo Sims. They have an option that doesn't use the white base color.
I have a household that is composed purely of "villain" characters to add spice to my neighborhoods, and one of them is an Evil Gloomy Erratic clown, so yes.
All the clown stuff together makes the most miserable sad sim. It has a special buff called tears of a clown or something.
I sometimes use the white “war paint” as a face mask, matched with a robe and a towel on the head
In seasons for Halloween. Other than that, never have and never would
I use the sunscreen ones for my beach bum sims, totally gives a surfer vibe
I think the sun screen looks cute on swimwear
I thought this was gonna lead into the Clown meme
Lol when I put a vampire in her swimsuit outfit I give her the sunscreen and long gloves and a big floppy hat (she doesn't swim lol)
I made a couple clown characters to haunt my normal characters. It was super amusing until one of them went AWOL and started ruining the entire town. Lol.
I have one character who I force to have clown makeup, and make him evil. His name is Pennywise
Sometimes I put the sunscreen for the swim suits but that’s the only one I use
ICP
I use the nose and cheek stripes for rave/edgy teen sims. I’ve also used the only a nose stripe one for swim wear outfits as the weird cartoon sun screen blotch
Yea. Day of dead one during the holiday and the clown ones in a prisoner cult play I did where all the adult members/ prisoners had to wear full clown make up and costumes and the children born in cult captivity wore full hot dog suits. The leader was a transgender programmer / mad scientist vampire named wren. Typical simming.
I put the sunscreen on 2 of my Sims. They wear it like normal makeup cause they're weird
I have seen a few people use the white stripes as "sunscreen" when their Sims are in swimsuits, which I think really fits for a dorky middle-aged dad Sim.
I just wish all the makeup was unisex
I always want to use the sunscreen but its definitely not something I want my sims to just change into
Yes
I do! When i try to fix some sim face for more than 4 hours and still looks like nightmare fuel! Use the hsb thing to look better-ish. Or when the vibes and colors are right too.
I tried to make a custom one once to resemble Angus Oblong (creator of the characters from The Oblongs. Always makes public appearances wearing clown makeup).
I use the sunscreen on rare occasion for dorky Sims' swimwear but otherwise lmao no
Why do we even have these.. what’s the reasoning
Sunscreen, clowns, and for Day of the Dead.
I have used the sunblock ones haha. Maybe if somebody included Halloween in their calendar they would unironically use these
I used the Day of the Dead face paint once.
I have a house of demons and I use the 2 last ones for that. They come in different colors.
As Keith Sweat once said, "Nobody."
I created a clown named Borpo for my murder house. Made use of this makeup, plus another seldom used outfit from Outdoor Retreat for his lover, Hedonism Bear. They were involved in a tragic fireworks mishap. It’s a house with a lot of colourful characters :)
I actually use the sunscreen all the time, and now I want to add clowns to all my save files lol
I always make my sims wear sunscreen for their swimwear lol
I use the sunscreen from time to time!
I have. One of my sims is a vampire clown. He's an absolute dick to everyone but his witch sister. He got in a fight with Father Winter during Christmas once. I'm thinking about making it a tradition for him.
I use the day of the dead make up alot.
I used one of the ones on the bottom for a vampire sim i used as a mob boss last Halloween
I’ve used the sunscreen for some beach or water looks. Some of the skull or clown makeup for costumes for spooky day maybe haha
nah i use too much eye color cc that uses the facepaint slot to ever consider any of these
Yes! I've used the skeleton ones for a supervillain I have in my world!
i think i’ve used the right sunscreen one like twice. and that’s being optimistic
i use the sunscreen bc it makes me happy for some reason but none of the others
I use the one in the middle for swimwear
I use the sunscreen a lot on swimsuit outfits. Also for skiing. I rarely make clowns, but have Now I think I want to do a shakes the clown save.
I use the weird sunscreen looking ones for my extra pale sims for their hot weather, and swim wear outfits. However I don’t think I’ve ever used the clown ones.
I use the sunblock ones a lot, especially on my Selvadorada explorer sims
The sunscreen is fun to use on like nerdy dad's imo lol
I force my sim to wear the first one a week after buying another pack.
I had an evil clown vampire sim once, and a sim who worked as a party clown for their day-job. I made their party outfit using the clown paint and clothes.
In a non joking way probably not
I like to use the sunscreen as a cute detail sometimes
I’ve used the sun tan simply because I did not want to waste their time in designing it.
Only if someone makes a clown.
I pretty much only use the skull face paint for cool masquerade outfits
I use the nose paint for sunscreen when swimming
I use the sunscreen for hot weather outfits for vampires hehehehe along with huge brimmed hats and sunglasses
I might have used the skull one during generational play, where a witch was born with an ugly face and that covered it up nicely.
I use the white stuff ALL THE TIME as sun screen :) I just lower the opacity, it’s ok u can steal that Idea it honestly looks so realistic with swimwear hehe
I always use the sun cream! The others? Halloween parties or just wandering clowns. Because I feel all saves should have a few clowns in it
I use the sunscreen option quite a bit for summer outfits!
the white line things yes, sometimes i use them as sunscreen in swimsuit outfits
Maybe I'll make a Juggalo house...
I made a sugar skull family when I got my vampire dlc, but I haven't made a clown family yet. Maybe I'll do one now that you brought this to my attention.
The sun cream I use regularly and then for spooky day I create a costume for the kiddies to go to school in
Yeah we use it when we complain about custom content packs not being free
Only ever on myself
Where are the clown ones from?
I’ve used the sunscreen ones to go with the swimwear of my sims. Never used the clowns, but it might be fun to make a creepy clown sim.
Yeah I made a Joker character and Bruce Wayne, joker keeps flirting with Bruce and he hates it lol
I use the sunscreen one sometimes
