There is almost nothing I find really scary about Sims, except for two things. The ghosts in Sims 2 and The Sims 2 for the DS.
I was always scared of the Sims 2 ghosts, when they floated around the house and scared my Sims. And that what happened yesterday to me made my fear even a bit worse.
So, when I was younger and played the Sims 2, I always sold the gravestones. Since I never really had ghosts in my game, I didn't know that the ghosts can become angry.
One of my Sims (Ashe) had a boyfriend named Takumi who died in a fire in College. When he graduated, my Sim took his boyfriend's urn with him and moved into a house with two other Sims. Everything was fine, Takumis ghost never appeared. My Sim then fell in love with another Sim and they married. But then another Sim flirted with him and his husband saw it and I let them break up. My Sim moved out but I continued to play the family of his ex-husband. And I'm sure Takumi did not like that. In that night he started to scare my Sims every few seconds, made really angry noises and broke some objects. The most scary thing is, that only happened after Ashe moved out. I read that it happens when the spouse got remarried, but not when he moves out. I had almost the feeling, Takumi's spirit got angry because Ashe's husband divorced him, even it wasn't Ashe's fault.
And the second thing, The Sims 2 for DS. Everything in that game was creepy.
For me, it never really felt like a Sims game. I don't remember much from this game, but I know that the atmosphere was really scary and dark. What scared me the most were these aliens that came when you changed the time of your device, and "killed" you when you got too close to them.
True. Angry ghosts can be really really bad news. They scare sims more, they break electronics and make baths dirty, and complain about the thing that made them angry. What's more unnerving is that it is easy to make them angry. Sell their bed and they're angry. Have their spouce remarry and they're angry. Have a new family move into the home and they're angry. And yes, kicking gravestones and smashing urns also make them angry.
About The Sims 2 for DS, I actually have this game for my 3DS. It is indeed really different. In this game, your sim is a hotel manager who manages a hotel in Strangetown. It even has its own wiki! https://the-sims-2-ds.fandom.com/wiki/The_Sims_2_DS_Wiki
While it shares the music and characters with The Sims 2 for GBA, it is 3D! I'll put some footage about the game in the spoilers so it'll take less room. If you wish, you may search more on YouTube.Spoilerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSuqw-AGius&list=PLRFGbReLiymANzW8ZEk9eIU4sJU7XbKXt

Let's get to the creepy parts!
The atmosphere aside, for me, the biggest creepiest part are the aliens. The music, the consequence of time travelling, alien autopsy and so on. There are also unsettling quests such as Frankie Fusilli asking you bury a wriggling chest in desert and Ava Cadavra wanting a room for her cow cult. Not only that, but at rare times, hotel guests may get kidnapped by either aliens or goons for ransom.
Here are some videos I've found of some of those creepy things. Of course under spoilers!SpoilerThe music that plays during alien invasions.

Yep. An unnerving game indeed..."Puddinroy;c-17794542" wrote:
The tragic clown from the Sims1.
True. Tragic clown comes when sims are in bad mood and you have a tragic clown painting in the house. This clown comes and tries to cheer them up, but fails, making it worse. They'll fail at tricks, cry a lot, and all interactions fail. For some reason, he likes being slapped and insulted. And the clown is tied to the painting. If you sell it, he'll eventually go away. If you burn it, the clown burns too. If you hire clown catchers to remove the clown (with that danger theme used for burglars), they'll also remove the painting.
Even more, even the game itself is annoyed by the clown. If you have automatic snapshots enabled and burn the clown by burning the painting, take a look at the family album and you'll see.
