It looks like the shadow of a man with a bag over his shoulder, sunk into the ground. Perhaps the mailman? Does resetsim * help?

Try turning moveobjects on to see if you can grab it.  If you can do that, it should give you a description of what it actually is.  If it doesn't seem to be anything important, try deleting it after you grab it.

No its not a real sim, Its something else, Everytime someone goes next to it, the sim will do a strange thing with there hands,

here is a video if it.

That thing she did with her hands is the "contemplate" animation from the Genius trait.  It's an idle animation that essentially allows the Sim to get a positive moodlet from any object they encounter.

That is definitely a "cut-out" of a person, although I've honestly never seen anything like it in the Sims.  The mailman doesn't even look quite like that.

I agree that its a cutout but there is something else that is strange...It Moved by itself!

It's not so much the reproducing part that causes the issue, as it is that he has no skin tone.  This in and of itself doesn't necessarily cause an issue, but trying to reproduce the effect does.

There was a thread a while back that was related to Late Night where one of the NPC bouncers in town had jet black skin.  It was an incredible looking effect, and a lot of people wanted her in their game.  However, someone took a peek at that Sim's actual coding and learned that her skin tone was corrupted:  she essentially didn't have one.  Before she made it into circulation, someone installed her in their game and found that this corruption did nothing but get worse and caused severe graphical issues, especially after she got pregnant.

An identical situation happens with Grim.  If a child inherits it's skin tone from him, the part of the file that contains the information for this Sim becomes corrupted...and as we all know, corruption will spread like the bubonic plague.

Is the NPC Erika Talon? Then again, she's lighter than Grim.

No, it wasn't her, it was one of the randomly generated NPC's.  This Sim wasn't so brown she was nearly black...we're talking jet black.  Crack open a fresh box of crayons, pull out the one that says "black," and that's what color her skin was.  The exact shade of a charcoal briquette.

Was she a generated Story Progression Sim or in-game official? If official, can I look her up on Sims Wiki?

And EA removed Kisha Terrel after a patch?

Thanks for tracking that down.  I had no idea where to start looking for it lol.

Am I the only one mildly disturbed by that cut out thing?
