tragic clown?! omg i cant believe jesse made a video about me 😭 this is such an honour luv xx

i have that tragic clown painting on the back of my bathroom door so people don't notice until they're already on the toilet

I once had some Sims I hated. I moved them into a dumpy trailer and hung the Tragic Clown painting. It took awhile, but they died. And honestly, to this day the sheer trauma of it all makes it hard for me to even look at the painting in build/buy without guilt.

Sunny is also seen as missing on some Milk cartons your sims take out of the fridge in The Sims 2

I've never randomly seen tragic clown walking around sims 4. It would be interesting though

I would watch a sitcom all about the tragic clown, social bunny, and therapist honestly.

Fun fact about the Sims 4 "Such Tragedy!" moodlet text- it's a reference to the famous aria "Vesti la giubba" (Put on the costume) from the opera Pagliacci (Players/Clowns)! The actual line goes, "Laugh, Clown, at your broken love! Laugh of the pain that poisons your heart!" and it's sung by a character who realizes his wife and traveling co-star was having an affair but must get into costume and entertain the crowd regardless.

this series inspired me to make a 25 slide power point about my favourite sims lore and then force my friend to sit through it for nearly an hour lmao

I would love to see a history of the cowplant in the sims!

it's a good day when jessie uploads sim history content

When I first played Sims 3 ( I think I was 17?) I saw him in the graveyard and looked him up out of curiosity and felt so bad for him that I moved him in with me and tried to make ambrosia so I could revive him and make him happy. He really tugged at my ol' heartstrings and he deserves happiness!

I developed a fear in clowns when i was a little kid and a clown got so close to my face that I could see the cracks in his makeup. I had nightmares about it. I'm mostly okay now as long as they leave me alone.

11:53 closer to the game release, the sims team added "annotations" to the release trailer that led to unlisted "easter egg" videos. That's one of them! There's 24 of them :)

4:00 He’s actually not a mime from the looks of it, but a Pierrot, hence his last name. They usually have black-and-white coloring

Just as Critical Role has a lorekeeper, you should be employed as the lorekeeper for The Sims!! I would love to see a continuation of lore for The Sims 5.

You can also get the tragic clown curse in The Sims 3 randomly, by travelling by LLLAMA, in the Supernatural expansion pack.

I think his appearance in making magic was my favorite. I loved going to the magic town and trying to cheer him up and watching him ride around on his coaster.

plumbella never fails us

i absolutely adore clowns, my great uncle was a professional clown + I use to dress up as Pierrot and we’d put on a show at family reunions back when I was little. Man I miss that

As a kid, I also thought you had to burn the portrait to get rid of the clown. I accidentally killed Bella Goth in the fire. But I saved, because the Goths were mourning, but they were free.

My uncle had a side hussle as a clown, so I never grew a true fear of them.

I love this series! I also want to say that I've got a petition: could you do a kind of "spin off" series on sims that appeared on TS4? There are some interesting characters, even if the lore is non-existent. For instance, what's up with the Fangs in San Myshuno? 👀

And if your sim wears the tragic clown suit, they get a sad moodlet

this video feels like a tribute to my entire existence and made to personally please me

This is my favorite series as well - is there any way you could do a food theme? Maybe Freezer Bunny/Grilled Cheese/etc. - idk if there's any solid lore there but it could be fun.

the trauma I have of clowns is unreal. Inspire Joy?! Y’all have you watched IT?!

On a similar note, I love that the sims 2s social bunny was replaced in the sims 3 with TALKING TO FURNITURE.

i've only seen tragic clown walk around randomly once outside the museum in willow creek, but i didn't know he was a loved character since i was a baby simmer, i remember him well because i was just like wtf is a clown doing out in the streets lol

Have you done an Entire History Of the wild animals in the Sims? Raccoons, skunks, deer, wild horses, etc? That would be fun, if not.

I love how you do history on the characters in the Sims. I have only been playing the SIMS 4 for a little over a year and do not know the history of most of the townies. Thank you for showing us the history behind. Have a wonderful holiday and thank you for always entertaining us and sharing your stories as well.

"Bella Goth is NOT missing. RUDE. Get gone" 💀 can't stop laughing

I wonder what would happen if a sim had a baby with the tragic clown

Christmas came early, a Sims history video!

That painting by Angelo in the sims 3 is also one you can make on the easel in the sims 4! It's a small painting but I cant remember the style it is! Really neat that its in the sims 4!

The imaginary friends in ts3 were the creepiest for me. And the gnomes. But mostly the imaginary friends. 😅

id love to see a circus family challenge where you have to romance sunny and have a family that succeeds in entertainment or something

I still remember the tragic clown apearing a lot, when I was playing the sims 1 with my Sister. It took us quite long to understand that we had to get rid of his picture... it was terrifiing for me as a kid...

I conquered my fear of clowns for this video omg

i would love to see an iceberg style video from you on the sims! i think itd be a cool way to cover a lot of sims lore in one video

My favorite series from you Jess!

Sonny the Tragic Clown is a Daedric Prince who's been mantled by many individuals throughout the years...

lmao the intro XD happy to enjoy any content you wanna make Plumbella

i love this character! so happy you decided to make a video about him❤

I love clowns, I've never understood how people can be scared of them. Then again, I guess people could say the same for my fear of injections/needles

Yeeeeees! I have been waitin for this! Thank you bestie

Oh I've been WAITING for this one!! Let's freaking go hens!! :D

EHO is my favorite series!!! Thank you Nerdbella!

There is a lot in Downtown (Hot Date) called Wrensday's that has the Tragic Clown painting in what I can only call a containment room.

Beautiful done! Thank you 💕

I love how the tragic clown in TS4 is supposed to show up randomly yet Judith Ward does a better job... or rather she _actually_ does the job.

We’ve been waiting for this 🤍

Your lore videos always make my whole week

I love when you do the history of different sims things. Thank you!

Oh my gosh core memory unlocked! The Chile catchers from chatty chatty bang bang! 😳

There's nothing better than Sims Lore.

I waited for this one for so long! I love the tragic clown.

Loved this video Jesse!!!! Hope to see more history of videos

i love the lore videos so much omg

I'm a simple person. I see a new plumbella video, I click

Sorry if this has already been commented but another way to get the "Tragic Clown" moodlet in the Sims 3 was by using the Lightning Leap Atomic Molecular Arranger (L.L.A.M.A for short) in supernatural too many times. After using the machine, there's a chance for your sim to come out dressed as a tragic clown, and gave nearby sims negative moodlets.

Aww, poor Sonny. I love this series! So, silly thing, but the heart bed... was it in every version? Being brought to 4 in the most grrrrr way. Fun stuff! Tyfs. Hope you had a nice weekend, best of wishes.

i love your sims history videos! i think although they aren't that special it would be fun to look at generic npcs throughout the sims history for example shop clerks in sims 2, specific sims 1 dlc npcs like the Shark in the Vacation Expansion pack and so on

When I was a kid I was absolutely terrified that The Tragic Clown would somehow show up at my house

Hold up gotta grab my lovely Clown doll so we can watch this together

I just wrote my BA dissertation on clowns and wanted to include this one, but couldn't find any research material that would work with me - I'm going to carry on writing and I'd love to include and reference your video! Amazing work, as always. Thank you for making life easier for me, I've been struggling with a relapse of illness lately. Lots of love hen x x x x

Love your sims history videos !

12:39 had me in literal tears. you're nothing like sonny, you make me laugh so much and give me so much joy. lov ya hen

love your content

Love these histories! Will buy the book when you put it out hahaha

12:38 this absolute KILLED ME omg at first the smash and suzie sounds like sim’s talking and each facial expression makes it all so much better

First video ever from you. I love your accent:)

A"history of" video? I must have made it onto Santa's nice list because my Christmas wish has come true 🥰

excuse you sadness is the main emotion i feel whenever i see a clown thank u very much

HEY HENS!! can't wait love lore! 👋

I'm scared of clowns for two reasons: John Wayne gacy, and all the clown stuff that happened in America in 2016

This is EXACTLY the video I needed today

I am aware that it is not the point of this video BUT What if Johnny Zest is Malcolm Landgraab? We all know that in Sims 3 Nancy and Geoffrey had one kid called Malcolm but in the Sims 4 they have two and Malcolm is the youngest son. But what if they both are Malcolms? Like the first one wasn't "good enough" for family as he wanted to be a Joke Star. And Nancy really liked the name, so when they kicked out "Johnny" they literally made themselves a new Malcolm... I also recall that Malcolm in the Sims 3 is ambitious and good whereas in the Sims 4 his traits are snob and evil. And guess who is ambitious? Johnny Zest. He is also outgoing which is a little bit reminiscent of TS3 Malcolm being good. And imo they look more similar (hair colour, fashion choice and overall appearance) then TS3 and TS4 Malcolms. I do not think that the lore is that deep but it was just something that came to mind when Johnny was briefly mentioned in this video. Sorry if this is a popular theory and for my english as it is not my first language.

This is by far my favorite series too! 💖

the guides having stories in them made the early sims games so the forums showing that just took me back !!

Love ya Jess! Allas I've never had the (dis)pleasure of running into the tragic clown, so a lot of this Iis really new and interesting! These always are some of my fav videos of yours! Also, you don't have to wear a "suit" to be a furry.

idk what i want you to cover, but please continue

Amazing as usual.

always love this series!

Babe wake up new the entire history of just dropped

Honestly got my sim pregnant with tragic clown and then I see you post this

I'd be curious if you could cover Claire Bear, since I'm not sure if there's much on her. But if there's more, it'd be cool to get an entire history of on her!

chitty chitty bang bang was absolutely traumatising pls

I love these!!! I want to know allll the Sims lore!

You do need to write that book on Sims Lore...Your So good!

Babe wake up Jessie just uploaded new sims lore

Omg I got a depression/mental health ad on this video. So on point 😂😂😂

Yes so happy to see this video

Didn't Sonny appear on the milk carton in The Sims 2? Love your videos

Have you done the Doe family and the theories about their connection to the Salas family in Midnight Hollow? Or even just Doe theories. I think there's a lot to dig into there.

Love your hair. 😊

Love you Jessie!💖

The House of Fallen Trees, Sims 2 Downtown and the graveyard there on the lot. Tricou family has some lore

entire history is also my fave series

So glad to see someone else scared of the child catcher finally, that sod is terrifying but my siblings never agreed

YESSSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SUNNY FOR YEARSSSSSS!! SUNNY MY BELOVED
