'''Sunny the Tragic Clown''' is a strange and mystical character first introduced in ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'' as a potential [[NPC]] visitor, alongside the [[Grim Reaper]], [[Genie]], [[Servo]] and [[Santa Claus]]. The Tragic Clown will arrive to cheer up Sims who own a painting of him when they are [[Mood#Depression|depressed]]. Unfortunately, the clown's attempts to raise moods are unsuccessful, often having the opposite effect, and he is difficult to remove from the lot. The Tragic Clown is seemingly considered a menace to [[SimCity]], as a service known as Clown Catchers exists who can be hired to forcibly remove him from the lot.

In ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'', the Tragic Clown visits depressed [[Sim]]s who own the '''Tragic Clown''' painting in order to cheer them up. However, the Tragic Clown doesn't help because he is also feeling miserable. Any tricks he attempts to do will fail, meaning he will make already depressed Sims even more depressed (e.g.: When he juggles, he hits himself with his bowling pins). The Tragic Clown usually wanders around the house, crying and coughing. Although Sims can interact with him, the only interaction that makes them happier is insulting him. If he is trapped in a room or by fences, the Tragic Clown will create a magical hole in the ground and jump in to [[Teleportation|emerge elsewhere]] on the lot. The Tragic Clown will only leave the lot under the following circumstances:
