Let's Build an Iceberg Together: Creepy Things in The Sims series

I'd like to do something experimental in here. Lately I have watched a lot of iceberg chart videos, so I thought of building one together with other The Sims players. Will a great iceberg chart come out of it or will this discussion yield little to no results? It'll be interesting to see at least.

For those who don't know what an iceberg chart is, let me explain. Iceberg chart is a chart of trivia of certain topics, usually on a picture of an iceberg. At the top is the trivia many people know and as you go down, the trivia becomes less known and may even go into theories.
I'll put an example under the spoilers. I'll also include a link in case the image won't load.

So then, ), I decided to make an iceberg chart of creepy things in The Sims games with all of you.

How could it look like?

I'm thinking you can contribute mainly in three ways:

Way 1: Suggesting an entry

The main way to contribute is to suggest an entry. Explain the entry (feel free to add pictures and videos with it) and tell on which tier it fits the best.
For example:
The Burglar Music in The Sims 1
Tier 1
This music plays in many situations: when a burglar, clowncatchers or a raccoon comes to your lot or when your sim gets fired.
Video of these soundtracks is found under the spoilers. The first two are about the soundtrack talked in this comment.

Way 2: Suggesting the design of the iceberg chart

Another way to contribute is to suggest the design of the iceberg chart. For example, suggesting the "iceberg" picture being used in the background or what pictures to use next to those entries.
For example:
Use a picture of normal iceberg in the background.


Way 3: Adding to other's suggestion

If you feel that other's suggestion needs some more info or some corrections, quote them and add what you'd like to add/correct.
For example:
Entry suggestion

I'd like to add X and Y.


Of course other comments and suggestions are welcome.

Of course many of the things can be found in my Collection of Creepy Things in The Sims Games thread. So at one moment, I might post a comment with a large amount of entries from there.
But let's see this experiment go on then...
Of course spoilers ahead.

  • Meteors can also happen in the sims 2 if you stare at the sky alot. can be random too. (under well known to players)
  • also to add: alternate timelines: in the sims 2 for pc, pascal can have a boy or a girl. in the PSP version, it's a boy named tycho, and i believe he is at general's grunts military base along with many others who are in the pc version actually living in the houses. I think we also help pollination tech smith go home as well. Also johnny smith is in the DS version working at a store. Ophelia lives at a church in the psp version. (Creepy there because well.. in the pc she is at a serial killers house. )
    Under Sims lore/ Console

    These are satellites. Though meteors can rain down when the weather machine backfires, but these just cause fires.

    I'll think about adding these...

    I decided to add that. However, in alternative time lines, I fail to see something scary. Though there is a different story in the fact that the baby is kept away from its father and hidden from the world in a secret military base.
