    it sounds like the mesh itself was corrupted while the creator was trying to save/export it with the third party program being used like nifskope, which does stuff like this a lot when you make skyrim content. your computer would freak out trying to properly load and render it and apply any normalmaps or textures to it and end up not being able to render it in-game at all while still struggling desperately to do so because sims 3 doesnt have failsafes for this kind of thing. I think i'm confused though. the main thing it did was lag the game and potentially break save files that tried to pack a corrupted mesh into the save? That's it? And it could be removed safely once the specific file was found? and that's what was freaking people out so horribly and making them have really unkind backlash to the creator? to me it seems like a massive overreaction. my own personal experience with modding might be biasing me though.

    • @casi1000

      Idk if you played many games around that time, but the view on CC, viruses in general and shared content was much different at that time. Now most people who have a computer have antivirus software and have much higher knowledge of how the internet works and ways to safely browse or download. As someone who was affected by this doll, it was truely scary not knowing what was happening. In hindsight, it's not that big of a deal because we know what happened and how to fix it but at the time, we didn't know why it was happening. If you saved any saved game while the file was in your game, it was often corrupted due to it attaching to other random cc or noncc items, destroying legacy saves and hours/days of save data. When it was discovered that it was a virus-like item, there was also the fear that it was an actual computer virus (like I said, a lot of people didn't have antivirus or had a bare minimum firewall). This was just after the time of viruses like smile, netsky, bifrost and the mass cyber attacks in the US and North Korea. Today most people don't spend much time thinking about viruses but at that time, many people were very fearful of viruses. I laugh now thinking about how scared we all were because it really does sound a little silly but we were genuinely terrified

      One thing that kinda adds to that theory is that the doll looks like it was originally from the sims 2. I wouldn't be surprised if the makers tried to just convert the old mesh to work with the sims 3 but it didn't work. They found a way to convert it but used the wrong file when uploading.

    Oh hey, this. I remember!
    The girl doll was a Sims 2 custom content conversion by someone who had no idea the devastation she was about to release upon the simming world. She was asked to make the doll for Sims 3 and so she did.. and like you said, she uploaded the wrong version. The doll wasn't really a virus, it was just broken code. Really broken corrupted code. Because of people in the community, the file was identified and there was even a cleaner program to remove it from your game. It lead to a "don't trust the exchange" attitude in the community and forums where people uploaded clean builds, checked by admins. No one wanted this thing in their game.. and it's still out there because of how it works so if you play Sims 3, watch what you D/L. Thankfully we do know how to remove the doll so if you do end up with it, the solution is easy to find.
    Also backup your game files before adding any CC. Always.

  • @one_smol_duck

    I'm gonna drop a controversial opinion, this stuff only happened bc the Sims player base (outside of modders ofc) are some of the most technologically inept group of gamers out there. It's 2021 and people still ask the most ridiculous questions on Sims 4 streams and treat simple texture recolors like dark magic. I can't imagine something like this happening on this scale with like, GTA mods or something. The moment someone's game would be bugging they'd go through every piece of CC and check it instead of spreading panic and telling people not to download any CC ever LMAO

    I think I might have possibly been a victim of this doll. Shortly after downloading, like, 3 pieces of custom content, my happy building of a cottage kept getting interrupted and deleted (because I couldn't save in build mode, and edit town takes ages to process what you've done, so exiting build mode to save was too time-consuming) by a blue screen of death! And for some reason the screen didn't have any text? Just some horizontal lines! Why!? Then one day, upon loading up my favourite save at the time, I was greeted with a world that looked VERY much corrupted! I don't know how to describe it in a way that other people will understand, but there were giant thin layers of greyness that floated above (but not far above the land of) the entirety of Bridgeport and clipped into everything. It was like someone threw a grey blanket made of polygons on top of the world. And I think at had holes in it and spikes sticking out every here and there. *sigh* I wish I knew how to describe stuff! I'm really curious about what the issue was, but I don't know how to word it when googling it, and I probably can't ask about it in forums because I am so bad at describing stuff and I don't have any pictures to show people what the problem was. So as for now, I'm going to blame it on the doll because this happened very shortly after downloading from the exchange.

    If anything this sounds more like it was the fault of the Sims team for making it where custom content could just be automatically put elsewhere in the game.
    In general I have a big problem with that in the Sims 4 cause I have body sliders to make my sims be a bit more curvy and busty as that's just the body type I like and the game decides to just give all the premade female Sims MASSIVE honkers using the body sliders I have (which are literally just normal body sliders I've seen other simmers using so don't come at me).
    It's honestly the dumbest thing ever cause IMO it should just use the normal content for the premade Sims unless I say otherwise and decide to go in to customize them myself having it where cc just automatically get's placed throughout the game is just dumb cause it's just asking for dumb issues like what I've experienced and this whole cursed doll incident.

    I mean one aspect of playing on PC that I will always consider superior to consoles is how accessible it is to modders of all skill levels. With that being said is that cc also introduces a greater chance of crashes and corruptions. But hey, mods increasing that risk doesn't mean that risk wasn't there. To claim otherwise is simply being disingenuous. And I'll continue to take that risk if it means I get to play a game with content that has greater value to me than almost everything else shoveled out by the corporate drones.
