This is a place to put all your Tragic Clown theories.(Please post you theories here and not on the Tragic Clown Page)

Theories
Apparently, the Sunny the Tragic Clown is dead by the Sims 3, but he is still alive in The Sims. Post hypothetical theories here:
 * The Real clown is dead like in sims 3 but his son comes out to get his revenge to make people even more sad.
 * I think that the tragic clown from The Sims is not the same that the one from The Sims 3.
 * The fact that he's been dead for such a long time may explain why he is magically linked to a painting. Think Beetlejuice.
 * I think one of two things happened: 1, Sunny was so depressed that he faked his own death to get away from everything. 2, Maxis forgot that The Sims 3 takes place before The Sims. I believe the Second one =P
 * I think the clown in The Sims 3 is the dad of the clown in The Sims 1. He died, and that why hes always crying.
 * The third theory: Tragic means something bad happened to him, and catching the painting on fire kills him so it is just a strange ghost. He probably killed himself from depression which explains why he tries to cheer others but fails horribly.
 * I think that Tragic Clown doesn't actually exist, and like Social Bunnies, are the insanity/depression/hallucination of the Sims when they are lonely. --79.97.154.41 18:11, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Someone finally got fed up with him and killed him.
 * I don't think the creators would have made such a mistake with something like this, i think Sunny is simply a ghost or a hallucination. Either way, I'm just glad he's in some way back. *Maybe it will be possible to resurrect him... if it is, I sure will. He was awesome.
 * Maybe he died by a fire. Then he feeds off of the sadness of Sims, and he can resurrect himself with their own pain. His only weakness is fire because that's how he died.
 * There is a clown club dedicated to cheering sorrowful Sims. The grave in Sims 3 belongs to a senior member who is brutally murdered in the middle of carrying out his duty.


 * He is like Freedy Kruger, an Evil undead thing thing that. Instead he feeds of sorrow instead of fear.


 * Perhaps, after he was buried, a painting of him was made, and honored him as the worst clown ever. Furious, he cursed every copy of the painting ever made, so that, whenever a Sim looked at the painting and felt lonliness and sorrow, a phantom of the Tragic Clown would arise and feed off those emotions/make them feel worse.

 * I think that the painting is made up of some kind paint which causes weird gas and so when it is placed in the house people Hallucinate and see the man in the painting.


 * The Tragic Clown in Sims 1 and Sims 3 is the same. Since he's dead in the sims 3 and is a ghost too, and since if u have the painting of him in ts1 thats the only time he'll come out, so that means the the tragic clown in the sims 1 is a ghost aswell, and is the same clown as before. Thats what i see in my view
