More Awful Than You! September: WTF?

[Liveangel]

......



Wtf?

I found that baby dinette here at MTS2.
Here's what the creater said about it:

***EXTREMELY SILLY*** Baby Dinette Set
I don't know why. I don't know what I was thinking. I think I may have been drunk - it's all a blur. Baby meshes are from Maxis.
Find in buy mode,surfaces,all and buy mode,seating,all. EP Ready.

In other words, it's supposed to be WTF.

As for the eyeball tree, I would love it if it were an end table. It would go well with the resurrect-o-thingy (Lilith Pleasant-Broke is in the paranormal carrear). The Duck potty "for your pretty toddler" reminds me of that peggysims whore clothing submisson "happy childrens day". Tongue rings... well, thing is, it's quite useless in the game as they don't open their mouths THAT much. I aggre about pes' idea of the PMBD prop vs. the TSR bilboard. I'm still laughing about the eyeball tree nanny idea... and rohina's comment

Is that weirdass angel just a chair, or is she getting something from sitting on it?

I think SimSlice's Huge Psycho Head Doorman is more likely to scare those damm towines OFF my lots than GREET them (sorry Emma, but Goops IS a townie). The sim in that pic does look scared out of his wits.

I'd like to nominate these beauties. If one FeeEssen on MTS2 wasn't bad enought, this rebecah person derserves a cactus shoved up the wahzoo. Just look at some of her creations crimes aganist humanity! Esp. the rideables!

Hey, those are great. All we need is to give them invisible recolors and make them usable by cats.

INVISIBLE BIKE CRASH!

I am laughing way too hard at this.

Wow, I didn't know MY submissions would be so talked about  disscussed talked about.
About the wheelie - my advice is, if it's only an object with no hacky things, and if you won't see this in RL and/or fantasy/sci-fi movies, don't bother!

I can have a field day with FeeEssen's crap.

Yes Invisigoth, just about everyone aggress, esp Emma. And me. And someone who I can't remeber, who said this:
Nominating feeEssen is like shooting fish in a barrel
Well, look at how Carla Nixen or something Niven was disqualified.

7. Carla Niven is disqualified. We already know he'd win.

Homeless man: Perfect for those of us who want to use the full capabilities of OFB: Organ Harvesting.

[witch]

Their left feet are invisible?!?

[FlareStorm]

Sure! Otherwise it might be actually useful for some weird ass screenshot or something.

[sadiebutterfly]

Couch Car



Um, yeah.

[Venusy]

Couch Car

Um, yeah.

Those exist in real life, I've seen one at some motorshow somewhere (possibly Silverstone). Only the one I saw had leopard print covering and a coffee table.

FAKE EDIT: Top Gear confirms that it exists.

[madamejeanie]

Considering how difficult it is to work with animations for the sims, I'd say she did a decent job. Most custom animations look like crap, but I see that as just one of the limits of modding for the sims. I like it when creators attempt it at all.

That's true, but be honest.  Don't those children look more like they are squirming because they have to pee really bad?

[akatonbo]

Most of the things in this thread fail bigtime at meeting the stated criteria -- especially rebecah's stuff, which is largely perfectly normal, whether you approve of her level of expertise with animation or not. (I think some of it looks worth downloading to decide whether I like it and some of it doesn't.) There's nothing WTF about children's rideable toys which mostly resemble real-world children's rideable toys. (Oh, and the "wheelie" looks EXACTLY like the picture posted by the person who requested it -- the request thread is linked right at the top of the post, it's from a video game.)

Many of the items posted thus far are also intended to be weird, and therefore serve a purpose for people who want weird neighborhoods or weird families. Some of it I've downloaded or bookmarked, because I am interested in sci-fi landscapes (eyeball tree), urban dystopia (homeless guy -- actually, I have a large collection of grungy/trashed/industrial district/high-tech but seedy/etc. content just for one project I'm toying with), goofy Knowledge Sims (couch car -- totally looks homebuilt by a crackpot inventor), and so on.

Not that I can think of a good WTF to share, mind you. Maybe if I browse around some; I know I've seen things before (besides FeeEssen, who doesn't count) that just made me say "WHY?".

[neriana]

I think the severed boob decoration is a pretty big WTF .

[Lorelei]

I've seen classic car boots turned into interesting couches before. Those with "fins" work best.

It's the kind of furniture I enjoy looking at when I see it in other people's homes or businesses (probably few people actually have these in their homes), but don't have a desire to own and try to decorate around in my own place.

Currently on PMBD, several posters are freaked out about a pixel pirate doll toy that can "shoot" pixel smoke puffs from pixel pistols at pixel toddlers. Would that be a WTF? If so, is it the concept or the execution? Or is it because it is a pay item from TSR?

Maybe we need to better define WTFs. For me, it is a WTF that people on the BBS are clamouring for washers and dryers. If the pixel clothes don't ever get dirty, why do they need laundering? Wow, if we are lucky, Sims 3 will have a decay state coded into clothing so we'll have to do laundry in addition to every damn thing else. LOL

[Assmitten]

No, I think it's pretty well-defined. You see it, and you go WAAAH? Just like Moe from The Simpsons. It's a special feeling inside. Confusion, plus get it away from me.

Eyeball sculpture FTW.

[professorbutters]

Eyeball sculpture FTW.

I could actually see a use for the eyeball sculpture, though.  There's a D & D legacy that is really good, and the author makes his own CC (it looks a lot better than that), but he had a Beholder sculpture that he used as a prop for one of his stories.  Photoshopped in correctly, it looked great.  The eyeball sculpture looks a bit like those aliens from *Life of Brian.*

I mentioned the TSR billboard because it seems like getting "KICK ME" tattooed across your ass, but I suppose there could be a use for that, too.

Most of these items fail as WTFs, yes. Either because they're deliberately intended as quirky or weird, or desire to emulate, even nonfunctionally, a real item. A true WTF is like that sawed-off terlet. THAT was clearly made, not as a desire to emulate any real item, but simply because some dood want to show off his utterly useless milkshake "creation" by sawing the bottom half off a Maxis terlet. It's not a technically excellent accomplishment, nor does it have any particular decorative value, because it's simply a Maxis item cut in half!

Indeed, but Gwill said..

Let's have a slightly open competition this month.  The theme is What the FUCK!
Please nominate ... any ... object that just makes you go WTF?.  We want to see stuff... that makes you tip your head sideways and frown.

[J. M. Pescado]

Yes, and thus the winners will be the things which are the most WTF of them all.

[Hecubus]

Given that explanation, while the eyeball sculpture did make me go "wtf?", I think this toilet from Sunair probably fits the bill:


One word: OW!



In the clothing category, I think I have to nominate infamous Meat Slab dress from Carla Niven. (I actually made the sacrifice and put this in my game and subjected a sim to its horrors. Here is the sad truth of the dress, as previously shown at PMBD:

The first thing I noticed was a less than neat neckline, so I zoomed in:
...which led me to look at the train:


Messy, to be sure.

Then Charlie took a walk around her house.

She first sat to wait for the date who never came (he heard she bought this dress and moved to another neighborhood):



Dejected, she wandered upstairs...


...and into the bathroom. Here's Charlie, flushing the toilet located near the door:


Finally, she had a lie down:


Soon after, she burned the dress, changed the entire house to a nice calm beige, and has been wandering around listlessly, not eating, not doing anything....she may never get laid again....

Nice, huh? The dress is...well...horrid. I uploaded it to the booty, though, because someone mentioned it might make a great horror story...that toilet picture looks a lot like blood seeping from under the door.[/quote]

Charlie is now a permanent resident at the Betty Ford Clinic, after attempting several overdoses of the love potion. She has been seen running through the halls naked, screaming "EYE BLEACH! I NEED EYE BLEACH!" Her doctors are considering throwing her in a pool with no ladder, just to put her out of their misery.

[Assmitten]

Aw, Hec, I don't care if it's off limits. I hadn't seen it, and it gave me a good laugh, so thanks. Carla is permanently Honorable Mention status.

[angelyne]

This won't win any prize, no doubt, but it seems to fit JM's definition of a WTF item



Cue in reporter : Can you tells us why you created the gravity statue
"Because I could"

edit <smacks head> I used the wrong url

[kuronue]

...how many times are we nominating the baby table?

[Hecubus]

Venusy, I figured CN was fair game again because this wasn't specifically a clothing category, and I think it's the funky folding when sitting that really makes you go 'what the fuck'...well....that is after just seeing the dress in the first place.

If it's disqualified based on the February ruling, that's fine.

[rohina]

...how many times are we nominating the baby table?

...how many people need to mention the baby table's previous nomination?

[kutto]

...how many times are we nominating the baby table?

...how many people need to mention the baby table's previous nomination?

...how many quotes in a row will chain this go?

That actually looks pretty neat, and could be pretty decorative with the right recolor, in a bizarre, sci-fi way.
