00:00 Welcome to MsMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most sadistic ways
00:08 we messed with the lives of our Sims, with examples provided by the wonderful world of
00:12 Reddit.
00:19 Number 10.
00:20 Baby Boom Sims is that they can procreate as much as
00:24 you want them to, which can lead to some bizarre issues.
00:28 One player had his Sim procreate with every accessible female in the game.
00:33 This obviously drew the wrath of Sim boyfriends and husbands, as well as anger from the eventual
00:38 mothers of neglected children map-wide.
00:41 When the children came of age, he went back to procreate some more until the town was
00:45 filled with half-siblings who didn't want to couple up because, eugh.
00:50 This kind of shows the game to be a bit lax with the moral dilemma of familial relations.
00:55 Eventually, the player's little experiment resulted in the population dying out, as no
01:00 one wanted to save their species by committing gross sinful acts.
01:05 Number 9.
01:06 Long Con Revenge Schemes Everyone remembers those pesky burglars,
01:12 right?
01:15 In Sims 3, the burglar's identity was visible, paving the way for this situation.
01:20 A burglarized player befriending the criminal, convincing them to move in.
01:25 The burglar was then trapped in the basement, forced to eat rotten food, etc.
01:30 When old age was on the thief's horizon, the player let them out, cleaned them up,
01:35 and threw a birthday party.
01:37 With a fine party raging, the player exited the room, removed the door, placed a rug in
01:47 front of the fireplace, and trapped the burglar on a mezzanine above, where he had to watch
01:51 his family and friends go up in flames.
01:54 He then allowed the burglar to descend and join the inferno.
01:57 That's dedication, as well as creative sadism.
02:07 Number 8.
02:08 The Woohoo of Death There are a number of ways to force your Sim
02:11 to give up the ghost, but this one is especially cruel.
02:16 Unfortunately, your Sims can't refuse what you tell them to do, making them the victims
02:21 of some atrocities as well as untimely deaths.
02:24 Woohoo is a very exciting thing for Sims, which becomes apparent with their cheering
02:29 after successfully proposing it to a partner.
02:32 However, it can be lethal.
02:35 You can actually end your Sims' lives by overexertion from Woohoo.
02:39 That is making them do the deed until they can't anymore.
02:43 This is a great way to get rid of senior Sims, but can also be done to middle-aged Sims you
02:48 grow tired of.
02:49 Going out with a bang, indeed.
02:52 Number 7.
02:53 The Classic Pool and Ladder Scenario A classic move in The Sims.
02:57 Your Sim goes for a swim, the ladder is removed, and panic ensues.
03:01 The Sim can't get out, because for some reason, climbing out over the side isn't
03:06 an option.
03:07 Eventually, exhaustion sets in, and the Sim drowns.
03:14 So many Sims drowned as this possibility was passed around the interwebs.
03:23 It's a little disturbing that we get a kick out of watching a little guy helplessly drown
03:27 as we deny him a means of exit.
03:37 To pour salt water on the wound, one Reddit user deemed it appropriate for his drowned
03:42 Sims' funeral attendance to show up in their swimsuits.
03:46 Ouch.
03:47 Number 6.
03:49 Forced Labor Making simoleons can be one of the most frustrating
03:52 parts of the game, especially in the beginning when job promotions are far apart and you
03:58 just want that big screen TV.
04:00 Well, if you choose to get creative rather than cheat (the world mother load will get
04:04 you 50,000 simoleons, by the way), you can always try forced sim labor.
04:09 One player built a luxurious home for his main Sims and created a basement with six
04:14 rooms for, ahem, servants.
04:17 One was tasked with cooking for the other five, while the latter manufactured items
04:22 for selling.
04:23 With the rising quality of the handmade objects, eventual income was high, at the cost of a
04:28 bit of the player's humanity.
04:30 Number 5.
04:31 Cruel Cuckolding Things can get a little racy in SimTown,
04:35 and this can easily result in cheating or, in some other cases, serial cheating.
04:41 As much as you want, really.
04:42 If you like the chaos, this is a great way to get it.
04:45 Well, some of us don't like to be made cuckolds, and there are multiple ways to get revenge
04:50 on our guilty Sim partners.
04:52 You can trap your significant other in your windowed room, forcing them to watch your
04:57 promiscuous actions, or go give them a piece of your mind, punctuating your exit by setting
05:02 their home on fire.
05:04 One player had an affair with the maid, only to have his wrathful wife set him afire, and
05:09 have the culpable maid sweep up his ashes.
05:13 Ouch!
05:15 Number 4.
05:16 Fire Hazard Overkill One of the most popular methods of Sim sadism
05:20 is playing with fire.
05:23 Literally.
05:24 All you need is a rug and a fireplace, a stove, and a lack of cooking ability, or some fireworks
05:32 and a little creativity.
05:34 One particularly disturbed individual has confessed to trapping multiple Sims in a room,
05:39 removing the door, covering the floors with rugs, and letting loose the fireworks launcher.
05:48 Phew, mass chaos!
05:50 Number 3.
05:51 Jigsaw Traps The Sims is a great way to manifest your jigsaw
05:55 fantasies, trapping the unsuspecting victims in various helpless situations and watching
06:01 them suffer.
06:02 We've all done it, don't deny it.
06:03 One player admitted to having made a nursing home, loading it up with old folks.
06:08 A maze was created with a single sink and refrigerator, no exits.
06:13 After observing all the Sims' deaths, the lone survivor was made insane by the abundance
06:18 of ghosts.
06:19 Another player tortured a clean freak Sim by placing him in an exitless room with a
06:25 wedding buffet and hamster.
06:26 The lack of cleanliness from the rodent and rotting food table drove the Sim completely
06:31 insane and he eventually starved to death due to lack of proper food source.
06:40 Number 2.
06:41 Baiting Child Protective Services Adopting children in The Sims is a little too
06:46 easy.
06:47 No background checks, no social worker visits.
06:49 Procreating is also easy.
06:57 The thing is, sometimes you regret your actions.
07:00 Children crying too much, getting into trouble, ruining date nights, and messing up your bathroom.
07:06 What to do?
07:07 Well, The Sims does actually have child protective services, so watch yourself should you wish
07:12 to be a good parent.
07:13 If you have parental regrets, however, you can take advantage of this service by neglecting
07:18 your Sim children until services show up and remove the little critters.
07:23 Problem solved, but you should probably be ashamed.
07:41 Number 1.
07:43 Serial Simicide These entries have proven one thing.
07:47 We are all terrible people.
07:49 The Sims is a human living simulation, not a creative death sim.
08:01 But what do they expect us to do with so many entertaining ways to die?
08:05 Death by carnivorous plants, crushed by vending machines, deadly stink bombs, ordering pizza
08:09 and never eating it.
08:11 The thing is, the game knows what you're doing.
08:13 In The Sims 2, the grim reaper had something to say about it if you killed too many tiny
08:18 folks.
08:19 Upon the untimely demise of all Sims on your lot, the reaper would send you a message reminding
08:25 you that the game is a life simulator, suggesting ways to try again.
08:30 But how else are you going to get a cemetery?
08:35 What's the worst thing you've done to your Sims?
08:37 Sounds like a good question.
08:49 Here's what's next!
08:59 (upbeat music)
