9. The Sims 3 - Ghost Baby
This won't be the first time in this list that I will be highlighting The Sims 3's treatment of babies. While the game is known to be a massive time sink for people to live a virtual life, while they could be enjoying a real social interaction instead, these glitches make it safe to say that The Sims 3 is quite possibly the most incredibly evil entity ever to exist on this Earth. But allow me to start you off on the least evil baby misuse by the game. Although don't let the fool you inot thinking that the whole thing isn't terrifying still. One day, this unsuspecting player just wanted to spend some quality time with their Sim baby. But as they picked up the baby, something went wrong. It was being held sideways, motionless. That is until its head twists and then the body stands up with its arms outstretched like a crucifix, its head half eaten by its torso. As the player puts the baby down, we see a picture of horror. An infant with a mishapen head, half of it gone while its jaw protrudes from its chest. Then, as if the game knew we couldn't take that horror, it disappears and dumps the body in the sea. As the player tries to teleport the baby back to the house, it seems like nothing is there. Until they try to get the baby to interact with stuff, which it does. That is right. Now this player has to walk around and interact with a ghost baby. It is all positively ghastly. But if you needed further proof that computers are out to kill and mame our children, wait until you see the next glitch.
