I've figured it out...

I know what makes the Sims 3 sims sort of creepy to me, especially the toddlers. They look and (most importantly) MOVE as if they were claymation. Claymation has always scared the crap out of me, which isn't helped by those creepy little shorts on MADtv. Claymation is just sort of... yeah, creepy.

That is all.

ROFL!! Claymation! That is a freaky thought!

I haven't played with toddlers much to tell, but the older sims make me feel too much like playing 'any' other console game, for the way they look, move and walk (specially how they walk).

(I haven't comment much around lately, but your recreations are really good, btw, specially Johnny)

Ooer. Like Wallace and Gromit? I can see how that would be a little... unsettling.

Oooh, I agree. I find it odd, but Claymation is VERY creepy. I never liked any of those movies (the chicken ones, or whatever) because they freaked me out.

OMG you're right! Claymation or those puppet-animation sort of things. You know, like the old Christmas shows (Rudolph, etc.).

For the record, as much as I'm enjoying TS3 I really hate the way the sims walk. D:

And is that a TS3 Johnny in your icon? He looks great!!

I have a friend who is scared of claymation. I don't really understand it. At least, I didn't used to, but then I found this: --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqi5F5MqqTQ

(You may not want to watch it, but I'm just trying to say that I think I get where you're coming from after all.)

Oooh yeah, I rememer that film. That one segment freaked me out as a kid, but I still loved the film. Claymation frequently fascinates me. Especially if it's Burton or Coraline. :D

Aww, Claymation freaks you out? Pity, I think you'd love the story in Coraline. :(
