There are a lot of Reddit users who have their own tales about the notorious Bob from The Sims 2, but none are quite like this one. One Sims player was adding the finishing touches to their perfect home when a man in a green jumper suddenly appeared. Assuming one of her Sims let them in, they thought nothing of it until Bob began lighting fires around the house. Bob's fire killed the two parents and the children had to be taken away by Social Services.

After starting a new game, this player made sure to keep an eye out for Bob and, sure enough, he turned up on their doorstep once again. So, as most of us are guilty of doing, she drowned Bob in her swimming pool and considered the matter closed. Except, after Bob's demise, she found that she could no longer control her Sims characters. Her Sims were simply frozen to the spot, staring at her. Thinking the game had frozen, she turned it off and on again, but sure enough, her Sims were still there staring at her.

But this time, Bob was watching too.
