Sims 4 Update Glitches Character Into a Poppy Playtime-Style Nightmare

The most recent update to The Sims 4 features a bug that transforms one character into a Poppy Playtime-like nightmare. Like most games, The Sims 4 plays host to multiple glitches, a few of which have proven quite hilarious. One error, in particular, resulted in a player accidentally turning their Sims' pet cat into a garden salad. But no one would expect Poppy Playtime-style terror from The Sims.

A survival horror game available to play on PC and mobile platforms, Poppy Playtime hit the market in October 2021 and offered an adventure set inside of an abandoned toy manufacturer, Playtime Co. Players assume the role of a former staffer who returns to the factory after receiving bizarre messages from other ex-employees. Stranger still, those old staff members went missing without a trace several years prior. The true terror kicks in once users discover that Playtime Co.'s creepy mascot, Huggy Wuggy, and a few other equally horrifying toys have come to life.

Apparently, the patch caused a glitch that turned one Sims NPC into a character with thin arms and disturbing long fingers. Glitches involving the NPC's facial animations only made matters worse, evoking a Poppy Playtime-esque vision that gets increasingly more terrifying the longer the video runs.
