In Oblivion, a statue of the player character appears during the main questline, but it's also a frozen NPC, similar to the mannequins in Skyrim. But if the player is a vampire, the STATUE is also a vampire takes sun damage and has smoke coming off of it during the day Never change, Bethesda
They could've added a special spell in Realm of Magic which allowed sims to bring to life mannequins and to add them to current household. So many interesting interactions ahah
It happened to me as a bug once! My sim had a clothing store, and suddenly some of the customers turned into mannequins walking out of the store in their regular clothes but looking like mannequins! It was really freaky... 🤯
Had a similar bug except I don't know where the fuck they were coming from! Sooo many mannequins roaming the streets and I thought it was one of my mods making my sims bug aha ^^"
The mannequin skintone first appeared in TS2:H&M, and can be accessed when enabling the CAS debug mode. While technically they are not considered a different life state, in the same manner that TS2 aliens are merely aesthetically different, they do not have the needed textures to reproduce properly (game will crash, without mods). Like aliens in TS2, their skintones are dominant, and will have a higher chance of passing on the mannequin gentics, except with aliens (which is 50/50). I do know that TS3:ITF also has the mannequin objects, but with even just the basegame, the mannequin skintone is available, as some of the residents of TS3:Store World, "Midnight Hollow," have the mannequin skintones. The creepy part about TS4, the devs never bothered to animate their facial movements, and while one could say that makes them more unique, I conclude, it just makes them more lazy, and unfinished, as most of TS4 is.
I like their un animated faces. Esp since they 1) aren't meant to be used this way anyways 2) It makes for great story telling. In fact, the only way they could be better would be if their animation was a bit... Off. From. Regular Sims. Like either slightly janky, missing frames, or overly smooth.
@@dahlrjay63 The unanimated faces kind of gets defeated by their normal dialogue, normal animations and normal genetics. I do not know how people keep claiming TS4 makes for great Storytelling? TS4 is still missing even basegame features from all its predecessors (including TS1). And even the stand out features that it does have, multiple packs are needed to even begin to compete, but instead of implementing more animated features (for a better expressed "show, don't tell"), even they all have to be manually implemented, while mods are needed to attempt proper facial animations, as the story slugs on with a plethora of massive exposition dumps. Take away its push and pull CAS and easy building, and it's just a mere shell of its predecessors. Mods and CC can even make TS2/3's graphic designs far better (especially TS2, as it has even more animations to work with than the others). In my opinion (not even a minority opinion among TS veterans), TS4 left the Life Simulator genre, even prior to its botched launch; it is nothing more than an overpriced DLC Simulator (coming as close to its original intended MMO F2P, P2W version).
@@TheMya1988 I said that THIS feature makes for good storytelling. I didn't say anything about this itineration of the game being better or even as good as the older ones for doing so.
@@dahlrjay63 I apologize if I was too broad. How does the mannequin skintone add to storytelling, when there are no new animations (they act like normal Sims, only glitched facial expressions), there also are no mannequin genetics, plus wouldn't actions like "eating" just make them seem even more nonsensical? I do find dolls and mannequins irl kind of creepy (a lot of good TS2 and TS3 machinimas), but for me, without facial expressions (especially, without mouth movement when speaking), just seems to break the immersion. TS4 is unlike TS2, whereby you can just mute sound, and still get a basic idea of social interactions through facial expression and thought bubbles, but even with speech volume on in TS4, actual emotions are never clear (again, all of this is defined through an exposition dump, instead of proper animations: "tell, don't show"). So, I am curious how it adds any type of storyline?
@@TheMya1988 Think of a mannequin, automaton, or some other uncanny valley entities being brought to life... Or conversely, a Sim that's been cursed to go in the opposite direction.
Okay WHAT???? I don't think there's anything creepier than this in the sims 4 now... The ghost horse in Horse Ranch, the stone head under the water in My Wedding Stories, the sexy dance in Lovestruck are all things relatively creepy to me. But they don't compare to this mannequin thing! .. and that's why you can only have a limited number of them... dang.
Omg in elementary school I had a book from the series American chillers (dope series, also michigsn chillers were the GOAT) but there was one about mannequins coming to life at the mall of America and it TERRIFIED me. And this reminds me of that terror lol thank you for unearthing that memory from my psyche
This is so creepy! Now I wanna make a whole household of mannequin sims and build them a mannequin house! I don't know what a mannequin house would actually look like, but I'm sure I'll figure it out!
Actually my game is glitchin recently bc some sims I age up became yellow mannequins and I cant remove it the only times they look normal is when they are in winter clothing... all other outfits are with the mannequin skin... its hla uncanny... I just randomly have yellow mannequins runnin thru the town
This sorta remninded me of that episode of the Twilight Zone(the original not the reboot), where that woman finds out she's a mannequin or something, they can just, come to life, and every month a mannequin can experience the outside world from their department store, but they have to come back of course after the month is over. Edit: The After Hours, that's what the episode was called, i couldn't remember the name and had to look it up.
There must be a mod where Mannequins act like Mannequins around sims but act alive in empty rooms or when not being seen in any capacity by a sim, right? Call it a lot trait that allows Mannequins to become Sims when unnoticed. When the player is away from the lot, some Mannequins could appear o disappear from the lot and be in all kinds of places, possibly blocking other objects for being interacted with (Suggesting they were using them until the Sim arrived) and giving a scared moodlet if a nearby mannequin has been able to move near a Sim for a long period of time (would make "Scared" capable of doing something other than preventing kids from sleeping)
Ah so EA/Maxis took the Bethesda approach to mannequins literally trapping NPC frozen in time as mannequins
Pretty much
I still have ptsd from the mannequins suddenly following you bug in Skyrim

Just like the Bethesda train
A mannequin sim called “Manny Quinn”
ladies and gentlemen please welcome to the stage Manny Quinn
Reminds me of that one Wizards of Waverly Place episode
@@urieldaboamortedrag name
Manny Sim 😂
@@daerincakes she's dusted for the bog

Omg that would have been such a cool addition, I always love when 2 sims packs ineract
This sounds like it leads into the modern version of Pygmalion, but okay.
EA is not that creative unfortunately haha
The sims team isn't that creative unfortunately. They're all blinded by money.
This is what I thought he was going to say, like some way as part of gameplay that you could make mannequins come to life
Every Whovian on here is like 👁👄👁
NOPEEEEE NOPPPEEE
Trauma
Yeah, only one way it can all end
no sir no sir no sir. I wanna sleep at night. between this and lilsimsie stretched dog/fox I'm not gonna get much sleep tonite.

Came to the comments to see if anyone else's brain went there 😂
That was such a corny episode lmaoo
@@ty-zz9icit hino that was the first of the new era, right?
weeping angels are statues, not mannequins, however, mannequins that act like weeping angels have been done before.
"Don't blink! Don't blink or you're dead!"
Wrong monster
@@jagothegamer5750 He a little confused but he got the spirit. 😂
That's creepy but pretty cool actually, feels kinda like imaginary friends from sims 3 generation
Skyrim also made mannequins with NPC human. It seems it's quite a common habit among video games.
I didnt need to scroll that far to see Skyrim mentioned lol.
Omfg, this is nightmare-ish from a Doctor Who viewpoint
Finally a good base for sexy shiny slenderman
Doctor Who had living Mannequins. Likely won't be using them but thanks
Wasn't this a Dr Who episode? Like, twice? Man, id have two nickles then wouldn't i
Damn it Emily for using living, breathing sims to create mannequins
This is an episode of Doctor who that terrified me
This sounds like that creepy horror movie in which people are inside wax figures😅
Well that's not horrifying at all 😅
I want to give one a bizarre fruit
@@oOoMiSSBiRDoOo bro that is nightmare fuel. Genius.
Genius
Once my sim transformed into a mannequin without me doing anything.. I'm not sure if I was crying of laughter or horror
This should be a life state.
Just like the Autons in Doctor Who

This is the stuff of nightmares
You learn something new every day…
I thought I had been told every little secret about the sims at this point, but I guess not 🤷♂️
If you can edit the mannequin to be silver you technically can play as the Silver Surfer
I just used the mannequins to re-enact "I am Legend". 😂
As someone with a mannequin phobia, I hate this. I'mma keep my mannequins as inanimate thank you very much
Makes me think of that doctor who episode with the mannequins, the living plastic.
Creepypasta fans are gonna go feral with this one.
@@dasgrauel slenderman gonna look 10x better now
How come i never knew this :c
I though you were using cc whenever you had a mannequin character in videos
WAIT IMAGINE AN ALIEN SIM AS A MANNEQUIN DISGUISE CUZ THEY THOUGHT THATS HOW HUMANS LOOK
Man that would have been a really cool life state to have
Time for me to start a dystopian save using this
Slender man in the sims 4 lmoo♡♥︎❥
Yeah, you definitely be editing them in create a sim that woman's knockers were the size of the sun.
Reminds me of the mannequins in Skyrim

Someone making the violence layer from ultrakill in the Sims:
I wanna make this the basic skin for every sim in my world. That'd be hilarious but creepy at the same time
It's giving that one Christmas special in Doctor Who
i played a clothing store and their was a creepy mannequin glitch. the buyers would turn into mannequins
Walking around mannequins be kind of cool if was a crossover ability for spellcasters instead off making a copy who you can control have a mannequin

Weeping angels in their free time:
Now I have the urge to fill the town with them and make it a mannequin world........
Thats the most amazing yet horrorfying thing i have seen today
I want all my NPC as mannequins ahhhhh
Time to recreate the beloved nuwho pilot episode: "Rose"
I noticed the mannequin skins just the other day while looking through stuff in sims 4 studio as shown in the beginning too.
OHHH IS THAT WHY I KEEP SEEING A COMPLETELY GOLDEN SIM
This is the perfect ideal for a sims 4 horror movie
i didn’t know that & i used to have my insane sims interact w them…definitely adding this lol!
Mannequins used to just scare me. Now because of Sims 4 and Doctor Who, they terrify me.😱
Markipliers worst nightmare lmao
Time to do the movie Mannequin in sim style. 😂
I always thought these were creepy as fuck since you can use sliders with them
Imagine the roleplays people can do with that
It's giving early "Doctor who" vibes.
It's like the House of Wax or the Twilight Zone episode The Elegy
They should have a option for them to come alive once she shop shuts
There's a storytelling aspect in this, I can just smell it
Lmao send this to markiplier
I literally have a phobia of statues and mannequins. NOT HELPING EA
perfect way to make slenderman
You can also make baby with patchy the scarecrow
You know what this means right? We can actually make an accurate slenderman sim 😂
Awesome! Man made horrors beyond my comprehension.
I did not know this! Thar is so hilariously creepy
that kinda looks like a sick new fighting like red hot game
Creepy is an understatement 😫
I want one on a robot sim, i think it would be fitting haha😂
Just like that 80s movie fr
“Yeah this place is grea-“
“LOOK ITS THE PRINCESS”
finally, new occult type
my worst fear becoming a reality wow

OR give us back imaginary friends!!
AND give us back proper PlantSims!!
So how come I cant turn my ordinary sims in statues? 💀💀💀
I want to see their babys with "regular" Sims 😮
Ahhh so THAT'S why the TOOL mod doesn't work on mannequins
I'm gonna create Slenderman 😅
I hear 9 running there for sure ofiuihrer
