5 RPGs That Reward An Evil Playthrough
These RPG titles allow players to choose their morality while rewarding evil playthroughs if it's the path one chooses.
It may begin with harmless pickpockets or mean interactions with unsuspecting Sims. Sometimes, it can escalate to the end of a Sim's life. Whatever the unfortunate circumstances victims find themselves in, it is important to remember that these are virtual characters and not human beings. Of course, this doesn't make the Sims in these evil, The Sims 4 storylines right, but the actions in these storylines are highly discouraged (some even illegal) in real life.
10 Keyholder To The Dungeon
It may start as an act of revenge on a Sim who has wronged the evil main character of this storyline. They invite their victim to their home, follow them into a secret basement they've built, and leave locking the door behind them. Once the poor unfortunate Sim has been locked up in a hidden dungeon, there are several ways for the evil Sim to profit off of their basement buddy. For example, adding easels can encourage Sims to paint and, in turn, add easy money to the household.
The thrill of capturing someone and having them add to their daily income can be addicting. Maybe the Sim in this evil storyline doesn't consider themselves evil at all. Maybe they only capture bullies and other wrongdoers in the Sims world. It's all up to the player and the storyline they desire.
9 Pickpocket Perfection
Evil storylines require a backstory for the character's motivation going forward. This storyline centers around an evil Sim with the kleptomaniac trait, which allows them to swipe objects from residential and community lots. They may come from a low-income family and pickpocket to help pay their bills, or maybe they just enjoy the immoral rush of abducting someone else's possessions.
Pickpocket perfectionists are willing to steal anything and everything that they can. There are, however, several expensive items from build/buy mode that players should target first. It may prove beneficial for Sims to visit wealthy households and steal a sculpture worth 12,000 simoleons or a 15,000-simoleon violin.
8 Master of Seduction
If a Sim has experienced betrayal, has an unhealthy attachment style, or is repeating patterns of observed behavior, they may be motivated to start a storyline about seduction and sensuality. Seduce any desired Sims by spamming flirtatious interactions, even if it means the Sim must get their hands dirty by breaking up married couples.
5 Games That Let You Marry & Get A Divorce
These five games let players find a partner and get married, but also give them the option to divorce if things don't go to plan.
The master of seduction may have ulterior motives as well. Spawn evil minions by having babies with the seduced Sim and having them do their evil bidding. Players can also use this Sim to play the infamous Black Widow Challenge, in which players marry Sims for their money and then find creative ways to get rid of their new spouse.
7 Poisonous Dinner Parties
Some players may not know the dangers of poor-quality pufferfish nigiri, or maybe they do, and they feel drawn to a horrific poisonous dinner party storyline. This storyline requires players to download the City Living expansion or mods that allow Sims to poison food dishes. After learning the recipe from food stalls, Sims with a low cooking skill can concoct this perilous plate and play out their pernicious plans.
Perhaps this is an act of revenge against workplace rivals or family members who have mistreated them in the past. Players should invite all the Sims they dislike to a dinner party and see which Sims perish to the poor-quality pufferfish dish. With The Sims 4: Dine Out, evil Sims can open a restaurant and poison their customers with pufferfish nigiri.
6 Chief of Mischief
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's a love for mischievous interactions, pranks, and deprecating humor. One easy way to follow an evil storyline is to follow the Chief of Mischief aspiration. It can be completed by executing mean or mischievous interactions, reaching level 10 of the mischief skill, pulling plentiful pranks, and performing voodoo in The Sims 4.
Once completed, the Sim will inherit the Tormentor trait, which gives them a wider range of mischievous acts. Create a noxious cloud and blame the prude next-door neighbor or blast the eardrums of ex-partners with the air horn interaction.
5 Expert Enemy Maker
Some Sims have aspirations to make friends with everyone around town. Everyone likes to be liked, right? Wrong. This Sim in this evil storyline wants to make enemies with everyone. The mean interactions in The Sims 4 are wildly unexplored, as most players focus heavily on friendly interactions. It can be exciting to experience a complete 180 in gameplay.
10 Sims 4 Packs That Focus On Social Interactions
Simmers looking to get social should definitely check out these awesome game packs!
Players can take their frustrations with humans out on the NPC townies in the game. Sims can make enemies by using their words to mock and insult others or by using physical violence like pushing or slapping. With the Get Famous expansion, mean interactions that are executed in public cause a Sim's reputation to tank. Sims with bad, awful, and atrocious reputations have a harder time making friends and partners, but other evil Sims will not be bothered.
4 Overpowered Occults
There are eight inhuman occult species of Sims in The Sims 4 that players can invest in if they find themselves bored with regular old Sims. It can be a difficult challenge for players to create a disguise and blend in with the rest of the human Sim population. In this genre of evil storylines, let the occults become untamed!
Intimidate townies and rampage around Moonwood Mill as an alpha werewolf. Torture humans as a vampire by casting hallucinations, commanding them to do tasks, and biting them to turn them into vampires themselves. As a mermaid - or an evil siren for the purposes of this storyline - sing melodies to influence Sims' moods or summon ocean threats to drown other Sims. The evil opportunities are endless when it comes to occult Sims.
3 Evil Miss Hannigan
This evil storyline may take a bit of imagination on the player's part. Embody the Sims version of evil Miss Hannigan from the Broadway musical Annie by first building an orphanage center and then adopting a handful of children to fill the building. Perhaps the "orphanage" is underfunded, and Miss Hannigan must supply the "orphans" with poor quality and inexpensive furniture.
Create a strict or difficult family dynamic, impose early curfews, and be unkind to the little brats in the house to keep them in line. When players grow bored with the orphans, or they grow of age to live on their own, Miss Hannigan can always get more by sending the orphans to different homes and adopting a new set of children.
2 Sinister Doctor or Vet
Being mean to children is pretty low for a Sim, but being mean to sickchildren is absolutely sickening. With The Sims 4: Get To Work, players can travel to the hospital with their Sim to treat patients. For a sinister storyline, an evil doctor could purposely misdiagnose patients or give them the wrong form of treatment to get more money out of them.
The Sims 4: Best Active Careers, Ranked
The Sims 4 features several active careers, but some are more engaging than others.
Even worse, truly evil Sims can do the same trick on cats and dogs as the owner of a vet clinic. Pet parents would do anything for their furry companions, even if it meant paying for expensive treatment. The evil character of this storyline could make a profit off of misdiagnosing pets, giving incorrect treatment, and creating "treats" to make pets sick and stinky.
1 Modded Murderer
Thankfully, several content creators have crafted some absolutely malevolent storylines, sparing players time and effort. Sacrificial is the creator of many malicious mods, such as the Extreme Violence Mod, Deadly Toddlers Mod, and the Life Tragedies. Go absolutely nuts by torturing, kidnapping, and even killing other Sims in very bloody and brutal ways.
It may seem like going too far to innocent players who enjoy creating loving families, but to those who are bored with wholesome storylines, it may be an entertaining way to bring joy back to the game.
The Sims 4 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
