Strangetown extras: Ripp juggles Ophelia

[strangetomato]

This is the greatest moveobjects glitch I've ever created. In fact, I created a YouTube account just to show this to you. It's that good.

The best part is the satisfied sigh he gives at the end.

Holy crap! That's hilarous! LOL. Thanks for the laughs.

*watched it over again and I'm still laughing*

Did you have it on speed 3?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

That's just the speed it happened at, believe it or not. The normal interaction isn't that fast, but the when I moved Ophelia with moveobjects, things got a bit crazy. o_O

I just spent about an hour laughing at this. I can make it happen at will too. It happens every time with the same interaction. (Bonus points if you guess which interaction.)

Leap into Arms?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you got it! You win.

I moved Ophelia out of his arms, then back onto the same block again, so she's hovering above him, and when I released the pause, this is what happened. I'm sure it would work for you if you tried it.

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

Woo!

I'm definitely going to try that the next time I play. Now, with who? Mortimer Goth and Dina Caliente? EXCEPT Dina is the one juggling Morty? Yes. This is my plan for tomorrow.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Awesome. Dina juggling Mortimer. I want to see it.

Dina Juggling Mortimer...in her underwear!

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

Oh, and Mortimer disappeared off the lot as well.

Re: Dina Juggling Mortimer...in her underwear!

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

It didn't show up. Here's the direct link:

Re: Dina Juggling Mortimer...in her underwear!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Awesome. *snicker* I love it.

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

That is the funniest and weirdest thing I've ever seen on The Sims 2. You'd Ophelia would be puking after being tossed around so many times!

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

You'd think*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I know. Isn't it too weird? I took some sweet pics of it the first time it happened (Ophelia ends up half buried in the sand), and then I staged this video. I'll show more pics in the next outtakes post.

Opehlia doesn't puke (what a trooper!), but she does vanish without a trace at the end!

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

I never get such awesome glitches in my game. It's always those "Your neighborhood is going to break" glitches. Like a toddler who has a lifetime want to have 20 simultaneous lovers and her twin who wants to become a mad scientist.

Haha, where did Ophelia actually end up?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

You can get a lot of great things like this if you mess around with moveobjects. I have others to show after I reveal the pic that they were created for.

Do those "toddlers with LTWs" glitches really break the game? It seems like it would be normal enough, once their age caught up with them, but I'm sure it's the sign of a larger problem.

Ophelia completely disappeared from the lot. It was as if I had selected her and deleted her. Very unusual. I was expecting them to continue with the Leap into Arms animation, just separated (with her floating in the air), and then snap back to the ground, as this is usually what happens. That isn't what happened at all.

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

Nah... the LTW will reset when the tot becomes a teen and you choose the aspiration. I've had it happen several times. No worries!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks! That's good to know. I don't think it would really worry me too much, but it's nice to know for sure. The closest thing I've ever seen to that issue in my own game is the LTW not showing up for teens after transition right away, but they were always there when I returned to the lot.

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

It never reset when my sim became a teen. I had to reroll their lifetime wants with the lot debugger :/

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

That's so random. I wonder what causes it?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to add this shot of his face at the end:



He seems to be wondering what happened. *snicker*

[music-simbol.livejournal.com]

ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, that's the best glitch EVER!!!!!! That's proof that Ripp and Phi are getting closer! :P

And, yeah, that sigh at the end is great. "Oh...if only I could do more than just juggle her."

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this is pure gold. I nearly peed myself laughing when it first happened. It was one of those rare "call everyone in the house over to see" sim moments.

No kidding. *snicker* You'd have to be pretty close to someone to allow that. Then he totally karate chops her into the ground. :P

Totally. That's exactly what he's thinking. "Wow! Just look how flexible she is. If only I could toss her around like this... in bed."

[80sfiend.livejournal.com]

LOL Very nice Ripp. :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

*snort* One of Ripp's hidden talents. He sure is a playful sim.

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

((screams, flails, and kicks feet at having dial-up... is it Wednesday yet??? ))

OMG... another coffee spurter here!! Whee... it's totally worth the (10 minute, yes 10 minute... dial up really SUCKS!!) wait!! TOO FREAKING FUNNY!!

And she even looks like she's totally picking herself up off the ground.

HA HA HA HA HA HA!!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Ten minutes? Ouch! I feel your pain. I spent the weekend with my parents, and they have dial up too and (my family home is located in a pretty rural area, so it's likely to stay that way for a while). I'm glad you stuck it out to view this very special glitch.

It does look like she's picking herself up off the ground at the end, except she's also just sort of floating in the air. The first time this happened, she was knocked into the ground head-first, half buried in the sand. That was just hilarious. Poor Ophelia.

[kin-thalas.livejournal.com]

Haha! This is funny! Wonder how Phi felt after this...

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Well, he swept her off her feet. That's for sure.

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

*snort*

Man, you should do a montage of all different sims juggling one another.

Cirque de Sim-le!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

That would be sweet. A sim circus. I could use some of my other freaky glitches for a freak show too. (Have you ever had the one where they suddenly have no arms? That one disturbs me.)

I've been pretty tempted to make some sim videos for a while now, so maybe I'll give it a shot at some point. I'm sure I could piece together something basic, at least. A little Shifting Paradymes music video, maybe... and can't you even play them on the television in-game? That might be useful for later in the story, if they get somewhere with the band.

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

Where there arms kind of meld into their body? I've seen that (it happens a lot when sims hold babies). Or when the babies get stuck in the parent (happens when potty training). Lately I've had a lot of "baby foot devoured by fat gut" when Lazlo holds Edwin.

I don't know about the custom t.v. show thing. I think I have heard something like that but I don't know.

I don't have the patience to make sim videos.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

With the armless thing that I'm talking about, the sim is left with no arms at all - just little stumps. I've seen it when attempting to move one sim from cuddling on one couch to another. I'll be able to show the pics later, after I get to a certain point in the story.

I'm pretty sure that I read that you can insert custom videos, much like the custom paintings or music in the radio. I'm sure I could find out.

I don't think it would be too much work to put together a basic video. It depends on how much editing you do (and maybe syncing it with the music would be challenging too). I'm sure it can be very involved if you get really into it, but it might be fun to try something basic.

[indigoleo.livejournal.com]

That was funny!
If I ever saw something like that in my game I'd probably be laughing too hard to catch a video of it.
Ripp is taking the term "lady killer" way too seriously I think! LOL!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I always have my hand poised over the pause button, but I was lucky enough to be able to set this up a second time to get the video clip.

Lady killer is right! *snicker* Makes you wonder if this is how Ripp "picks up" all of the chicks he sleeps with.

[simfulacts.livejournal.com]

*runs off to juggle sims*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

C'mon and join the latest craze: sim juggling! :P

[jessicus.livejournal.com]

That was random, lol. I watch it with some imagined circus music.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Very random, and very awesome. It would be too funny to add the music to the actual video clip. I need to learn how to do that.
