Why You Should Be A Tragic Clown In The Sims 4

gamepur.com:

Tragic Clowns have been a part of The Sims franchise since the very first game, but now you can do more than just summon him: you can become him. Embrace the clown; become the clown.

It is to my everlasting shame that I, an avid player of The Sims 4 since way back in 2014, never knew you could play as a Tragic Clown. Dress as one, yes, but not play as one. Obviously, the very moment I made this discovery, I knew I had to do it. I created my clown, gave him the Joke Star aspiration (as clowns allegedly try to be funny), and got to work.

I think one of the reasons that I’ve never tried to do this before is because I have a well-known and almost debilitating fear of clowns, stemming from one particularly memorable Halloween night, but even I think these clowns are hilarious. As someone who is always looking for new and challenging ways to play The Sims, I simply could not resist.

Facing My Biggest Fear: Becoming The Clown

It’s incredibly easy to become a Tragic Clown in the Sims 4—although you won’t be able to materialize in other Sim’s homes like a true Tragic Clown can. All you need to do is dress your Sim as a clown, and they will become one. You can do this in Create A Sim or just through the mirror or wardrobe with a preexisting Sim.

There is some leeway on clown design, with a few options for face paint and outfit colors, and once you’ve customized your clown, all you’ve got to do is resume the game. Your Sim will not only look like a clown but will have new moodlets and interactions. Try this on a new Sim for maximum immersion, or with a premade Sim to spice up an existing family.
