If this has already been done, feel free to spork me, but no one posted a more awful for February, and I got the idea this morning.
This month's More Awful than You! will be on the look out for objects that are bigger than they should be for the item they are. For example, a coffee cup that is as big as a bucket. Anything that is so large that it looks redonkulous when the sim goes to use it. Pictures of the sim using the item need to be shown, as well as the location/creator of the original object.
It better damn well be funny or wtf-y.

I know it doesn't qualify as it is EAxis, but the tea set from the FT pottery wheel deserves a mention. I'll get a photo post haste.  |

Decorative objects don't count? Or do they just not get the "in use" bonus points?

Exaggerated scaling is actually in many cases a deliberate stylistic choice. Many small objects would, if depicted at realistic scale, be impossible to see or click on from the perspective of about 30+ meters in the air. It does little good to render a pencil at realistic size when it becomes subpixel at 30m. This is also the cause of exaggerated facial proportions on the stock face templates. |

But some objects are even more redonkulously large that you just have to laugh when they use said items. When a coffee cup is bigger than a sim's HEAD, it's funny. |

Do these count?  I have to do this again and get some better pictures... but this time the bear gets a few of Rebecah's playable baby dolls for maximum creepiness. Shortly after these images were taken, ChildRon died via Running with Scissors. It was beary traumatic. |

That bear is so cute I squeed, and now I have it. I think I have some abnormal things in my downloads...I'll be back when I find something. ETA: found something, Trailer Park Yard Deco: specifically the tire planter, it is disproportionate. http://n99forumpaks.djssims.com/old.php?category=55 |

What?
Is that tire for an airbus?
Disproportionate is an understatement. That thing is ginormous!

We had a tire that big in our backyard when I was growing up. It was an awesome sandbox. Tread on it was waaaay bigger though.

When I was a kid there was a playground near my house which had a tire that size secured to the ground standing up. It was so much fun to try to climb up the side and stand on the top. |

The tire is reasonable (giant tractor tire), but the flowers inside are disproportionate.
On a side note, there's stuff in the game that I wish EA had made disproportionate, for reasons already stated (visibility).
Kittens and puppies, for one.

I love the teeny little kittens and puppies. They are so cute. Especially when you see their teeny tiny little paw pads. The cute. It kills.

Nothing on topic to offer, but I found something I haven't seen mentioned (nothing in search either). Is this an EAxis nod to sport of More Awful Than You? Maybe they like it because they're stuff isn't eligible to "win." |

Bad/wtf-y mods? Dunno if people would risk putting anything in their games that could mess it all up.

Nay, already too many. Let the CC business bloom for 2 months then a WTF type contest. I like Emmas idea. I've also thought of another idea: Useless decorative crap. Stuff that looks or was suppose to work but doesn't because the creator fails by making it a decorative object only. |

Well, making an object FUNCTION is nontrivial, particularly if it involves animations. Also, most artistes cannot code.

What about CC artists who recolored perfectly functional EAxis objects and broke them in the process - like the broken CC wedding cakes that someone posted about in the Podium a while ago?
For example, I somehow have a bed in my game that is at the wrong height and does freakish things when woohoo'd in.
