Vampires is one of the creepiest aspects
of Sims 4 and happens to be one of my
biggest personal regrets in life. Vampires
have
come to my house to bute my
Sims in the middle of the
night so many times that I
was constantly stressed
about it happening.
Thankfully, this option
can be turned off in the
game's settings, and
you can set your front
door to disallow
Vampires. However, if you
are a horror fan, why not
utilize my fear to create your
storyline? An evil vampire that is
determined to taste everyone in town
could make for some simtacular gameplay!
Pro Tip: Luckily, the game spawns lunch
characters no matter what time of day
you are out wandering, so take your evil
vamp for a stroll and see if you can
terrorize the townies.
The Paranormal Is The New Normal.
The Paranormal Stuff Pack for The Sims 4
was a well-received addition to the
franchise. With tons of new stuff, from
Create-A-Sim items and Build Buy objects
to in-depth gameplay and a new career.
When playing with the Paranormal Pack,
your Sims can become a Paranormal
Investigator. This career turns your Sim
into a medium. With the help of Guildry – a
friendly ghost that holds your hand during
gameplay – you set out on a strange and
somewhat spooky adventure to rid the
world of ghosts. The Paranormal Stuff Pack
and all that came with it allow you to
create some spooky scenarios for your
Sims.
Pro Tip: Utilize the build buy objects and
the Haunted House lot trait to scare your
Sims and yourself. Having ghosts spawn at
random has to be at least a bit scary.
Stop Clowning Around.
One character of the Sims 4 that can be
downright disturbing is the Tragic Clown.
While not scary in personality, the
appearance of the Tragic Clown can be
pretty upsetting to anyone who has
coulrophobia - an unnatural fear of
clowns.

Sunny, the Tragic Clown, came into the
Sims with Livin' Large and is a well-known
and annoying aspect of the game. The first
time this character appears in your game,
you may run screaming from the screen.
(Especially if you have not played earlier
versions of this franchise). Sunny is
summoned after a sim admires the Tragic
Clown painting and makes life difficult by
making your Sims miserable.
While mildly disturbing and highly
annoying, the ways to get r i d
of this pesky presence are
worse than the clown
itself. You can burn the
tragic clown painting,
and the clown will also
burst into flames and
seemingly die! There
are other options as
well. For example, you
can sell the picture or
slap the clown until he
is happy. In past
games, you could hire
a clown catcher to rid
your lot of this
unwelcome guest.
However, unlike
previous games, in
Sims 4, the Tragic clown
is generated at random
and is not an
independent character.
Which, if you ask us, is even
more disturbing because
anyone could be the Tragic Clown in
disguise!
Pro Tip: Want to have some fun for
Halloween? Dress up as the tragic clown!
The entire outfit, including facepaint, can
be found in cas. Like Grim, you can add the
clown to your family.
If the ideas above are just not enough to
keep you awake at night, there are plenty
of gruesome, violent, and dark mods out
there that will leave you shaking more than
your head. All you need to do is run a quick
google search for scary, violent, or horror
mods in Sims 4, and your darkest dreams
can become your reality.
Happy Simming!
