Default Tragic Clown
Anyone tried to make a portrait of him and see if it works just like the one in Sims 1 0o?

This is the Tragic Clown from The Sims 1:


If you had the tragic clown painting on your lot, he would show up when your sim's social was really low, just like The Sims 2's Social Bunny. If the painting was over a fireplace and he was on the lot, you could light the fireplace, and there was the chance the painting would catch on fire, causing the clown to burn also.

This is apparently what he looks like in The Sims 3 in non ghost form:

Hes one of the ghosts in the Sunset Valley Graveyard, so you just have to go at night and see if you can see his ghost. As for the pic of him I posted, I don't know how they got that, I just found it on google.

Yes... but if you make a portrait of the revived clown(Easel -> Take Portrait Of -> Tragic Clown >__>), does it work like in Sims 1?
I doubt it, but wanna be sure...

I really doubt it. If it was possible someone would've discovered it by now.

You could always try it? As someone above suggested, head to the cemetery and look for him, and then take a portrait of him, and go from there.

As for the image of the live Tragic Clown, perhaps they befriended him and then gave him ambrosia (? that's what you use to resurrect, yes?) and revived him?

the live tragic clown isn't actually the tragic clown, it's the tragic clown potion or curse that is mainly founded in Supernatural.

What a nice coincidence. Just three days ago I resurrected Tragic Clown from the Sunset Valley graveyard and yesterday he had some Ambrosia and is now a fully playable Sim. This is now the third or fourth time that I've done this in my games. I may be a bit attached to him, I guess.

The picture above does show the TS3 version after resurrection. As a ghost he is blue because he had died drowning.

But he doesn't come with any of the Tragic Clown characteristics from Sims 1. He's just a normal (ghost) Sim and doesn't have any effect on surrounding Sims, so painting his portrait wouldn't do anything. But the "Origin Of The Tragic Clown" elixir from Supernatural causes any Sim who is under its effect to transform into a Tragic Clown for a while. They'll change their outfit temporarily into something resembling the picture above and start to wear the clown makeup. Every Sim that is near the transformed Sim will start crying and have a "So Sad!" moodlet with a negative value. That's about the closest you can come to anything resembling the original Tragic Clown from Sims 1.

Ghosts can have children. (I had a ghost hunter who kept getting pregnant by the ghosts she was supposed to be exorcising.)

So Tragic Clown could be a family curse as well.

So THAT was how it was done! I never did work it out,

Also, Ghost: My ghosthunter sim kept getting publicly disgraced for er... taking the job home with her.

Legend is history as we would like it to be. We pick through the dusts of time for what is worth keeping and, here and there, we occasionally find treasure.
