I see where that susspicion can come from. I do hope it's an NPC though. Never played TS1 and am curious to see whta the clown will do. I would be happy if they brought the social bunny back too tbh.

To be honest the Social Bunny had very little on the tragic clown. Not as annoying maybe but they never made a sound. It was said though, that if you had more than one at a time they could I teract with each other although I never saw that myself.
@king_of_simcity7 Well, social bunny helped me a lot back in TS2, as many of my sims stayed home and maxed their skills, this their social needs dropped extremely often. I know social bunny and tragic clown are not related. I just would like if they bring Social bunny NPC back too.

Maybe they could spice the social bunny up a bit?
How about have a social bunny and a tragic clown on the lot at the same time? The two could end up fighting, and most Sims will only see the clown.
Truth. I actually hated Tragic Clown with a passion but well my opinion on him is not everyone's....some may absolutely love the game play he brings. I will do my best to avoid him though...just like I would absolutely refuse to buy that painting of him whatever the cause will be to bring him on I will not be doing.
Agree. I prefer it to be player initiated rather than just having him appear at any time out of the blue.
He doesn't appear at "anytime". Assuming it is like The Sims 1 your sim has to be sad and you need to have the painting. I don't think that counts as ANYTIME or OUT OF THE BLUE!
Let's see, there are half a dozen TS1 Sims that have never made it back in later games:
The cake dancers, Chip (Male) Bunny (Female) El-Viss (He looked like Elvis) The pink gorilla and another Tragic Clow
Then there was the Maitre D from Hot Date and the saxophone player from Unleashed
The 'entertainers from Vacation named Marky Sharkey (Dressed as a shark on the beach lots) Betti Yeti (Dressed as a Yeti on the winter lots) and Archie Archer (Dressed as Robin Hood on the forest lots)
Drew Carey and The Mime from House party along with two 'Crashers' who would join in with the party but you couldn't interact with them and they will clog your toilet
Mrs Crumplebottom as The Prude. Although the name has been carried over, there was a bug which prevented her from appearing on lots in Hot Date. She would hit your Sims with her hand bag if they performed romantic interactions in front of her.
Also back to the tragic clown there was the clown catchers as well and probably a lot more that I forgot about

By having to have the painting, that is what I consider player initiated because it would be MY choice to have that painting and make it happen. Otherwise, my sad sims won't see him or have him around.
So, what are you all making of the Tragic Clown now that he is in your games and is spawned by viewing the picure that came with the previous patch?
I was not too keen on the idea of the Tragic Clown making all my sims sad, but I know I have to deal with him/her, so I made a backstory I can live with! He/She is now the artist who painted the Tragic Clown. The Tragic Clown is also his/hers artist persona. He/she is a perfomance artist who lives and breathes his/her art 24/7
Well Tragic Clown is a NPC after all. The thing I don't like is that the clown when spawned is a random Sim... it should be just one at all times (like the one in Sims 1)
Does it only appear when the Sim stares at the painting? I placed the painting, then I made several of my Sims very unhappy, no tragic clown. I took at happy Sim had him view the painting and the tragic clown showed up.
They do seemed to have toned him way down from the original. I would love Mrs Crumplebottom to come back, but somehow I don't think she'd be the purse carrying bulley she is meant to be
The first time I had a Sim look at the painting a Tragic Clown appeared and vanished immediately. I got my Sim to look at the picture again straight away and the clown that appeared hasn't left yet.

Hello.
If you are finding it hard to get the tragic clown to leave your home, try having your sims travel to another lot and back again, and see that helps him to leave.
Thanks. I wasn't having trouble getting him to leave yet as a full day hasn't passed yet since he arrived. I was just meaning that he didn't vanish like the first time. Useful to know though if I can't get him to go.

The voices, the sound of the doorbell and the newspaper girl whistling!
That, my friends is The Sims at it's finest!

Could make for some interesting gameplay!
I would actually love to see that happen.
