    Common in a good bunch of games. Happens when the game tries to use an animation that’s scaled for a larger 3D “skeleton”. It’s trying to use an animation here that’s sized for an adult Sim, so when the animation says “hands go here, elbows here, shoulders here, etc” it stretches to the adult proportions and makes this unholy mess.

    See also: Smash Bros Brawl’s Longchu/Gannon-chu glitch/mod of Pikachu’s 3D model with Gannon’s moves and animations, Zelda Twilight Princess speed runs where you activate cutscenes for human form Link while in Wolf form so you get to watch what looks like a mangled twitching roadkill wolf propped up on top of a horse.

      That makes a lot of sense, especially as the sim in the picture is supposed to be a toddler and from what I remember toddlers can’t go to boarding school. That is only for kids and teens. Also from what I remember unless you bring them home yourself, they only come home if they age up.

      So if the game is as I remember it, I totally understand why the toddler body freaked out.
