When it was first released, The Sims 2 seemed a massive step-up from the original. While The Sims 3 and have massively improved graphics from The Sims 2 and new features, the step up from the original game to the first sequel was the biggest lead in the franchise.

With this, however, came a weird side to the fandom. Player-made mods are a great addition to the franchise. They add a personal touch to the game and show how devoted the fandom is. However, not all of these mods can be gems. These Sims 2 mods, some of which are still available, show what can happen when players are left unsupervised.

10 Creepy Giant Babies

One of the most celebrated features in The Sims 2 over the original game was the improvements to infants. Sims would become pregnant and babies had more interactions. There was also the introduction of the toddler life stage.

But this mod took those cute babies and made them creepy! This was essentially a giant "baby suit" that could be purchased as male clothing. When dressed in the suits, Sims would look like giant babies, but move and interact as adult Sims. Including playing and caring for their actual babies!

9 No Jealousy...At All

The relationship system in The Sims 2 was a great improvement on The Sims. Marriage and commitments such as Steady for teens allowed relationships to be recognized in-game.

A glitch in the game was that while being in love or having a crush on another Sim wasn't a commitment, Sims would get jealous if they saw the Sim they liked being romantic with another. Even if they were married to the other Sim! "Jealousy" mods were introduced to fix this. But, this mod removed jealousy entirely! If you want a world of polyamorous Sims, that's great, but it did cause glitches in the relationship system.

8 Hunting Time!

Traditionally, The Sims is a middle-class, suburban fantasy game. Made to reflect the rat-race and relationships of real life. But some people would rather make things a little more basic!

Instead of playing a survival game, or a different version of The Sims such as The Sims Castaway, this mod takes your Sims back to basic survival. By selecting the pile of spears you can make your Sim "go hunting." They then leave the lot and, depending on how the hunt went, will come back with meat that can be cooked.

7 Cenotaph Of The Tribal Covenant - Babies For Sale

One of the darker mods made for The Sims 2, this one offered a solution if your kids were getting too much for you! Or if you're building a fantasy world in-game.

When purchased, Sims could select the helmet and summon an ogre named Gunk. Parents can then sell their unwanted babies or toddlers to him, or just give them up if you're not interested in the money! Other Sims could also purchase any children that had been sold. While most of these mods can no longer be found or were released over a decade ago, this mod is still used having been updated in 2017!

6 The Giant Gnome

A small quirk in The Sims 2 was the gnomes. There were cheap and many premade homes could with them already in the garden. The gnomes themselves weren't overly interesting, but if another Sim didn't like you, or if they were just a jerk, they would take your gnome and run away with it. Sometimes a Sim would leave the lot to retrieve the gnome—sometimes it was gone for good!

If the gnome stealing gets irritating for you, you could download this giant creepy gnome. No-one is running away with that, but it'll probably steal your soul in your sleep!

5 Royalty Career Path

The Sims has been criticized, rightly so, for its simplified portrayal of careers and real estate. In any of the games, it is much easier than in real life to find a job and work your way up. While a realistic portrayal of climbing the career ladder would make for a very boring game, this Monarchy Career Mod is just laughable.

Your Sim becomes a Prince or Princess by applying for it like any other job and "work" their way up the career ladder. This is done by making friends and building skills, rather than killing off your family. If you want royal Sims, try playing The Sims Medieval instead!

4 Adult Entertainment Career

From an unrealistic career path to a far too realistic one!

This career path allows Sims to pursue a career in the "Adult Entertainment" industry. Again, this job is found like any other, from having your Sim look at jobs on the computer or check out an ad in the local paper! This career comes with chance cards. (One example involves your Sim deciding whether or no to do a scene with another Sim of the same gender. This chance card comes regardless of your Sims' sexual orientation.) It even appears as a recommended career when choosing your university major!

3 A Town Of Bed Wetters

This mod, titled "All Kids Bed Wet" does offer some realism to the game. Bedwetting is a common problem for most children and some teens. An interesting development with this mod is that teens will only wet the bed if their aspiration level is very low.

But, as the title suggests, this mod makes all children wet the bed if their bladder need is only slightly less than perfect! Which is pretty much all the time! This mod is inspired by another that takes a more logical route, as only children who weren't potty trained as toddlers wet their beds.

2 The Spanking Rack

This is where things get incredibly weird. The Spanking Rack, which can no longer be found online, could be used to either change a Sims personality or for two Sims to "WooHoo!" When bending over the rack, which can be bought from the "party section" in buy mode, another Sim will paddle their victim's behind! By selecting the rack, you can choose which trait will be improved by the spanking, such as "neatness" or "playfulness."

To make things weirder, you don't need to know a Sim too well to "WooHoo" on the rack! The option will appear shortly after the introduction!

1 Barbecue Your Children!

This mod is simply called: OMGWTFBBQ. And rightly so!

With this mod, after a baby is added to your household, you can select the barbecue and roast the little bundle of joy! It starts off with the same animation as changing the baby's diaper. But then the lid is closed to let the baby cook. After its done, your Sim just serves it up! It's very disturbing to think that somewhere out there a fan of the game thought that this is exactly what the game was missing!
