Haven't played in years but I remember being a fan of trapping my neighbours until they died of exhaustion, I liked to collect the tombstones and urns they turned into.
You would have thought the neighbours would have stopped coming round after a while, the island in the middle of the pool filled with tombstones must have been a least a little bit of a clue...

Yes. Trapping sims in a room with nothing and letting their other half/best friend watch as they die to mentally torture them.
I remember my sister inviting the whole neighbourhood round and getting them all in the swimming pool and taking the ladders out, wiping out the whole neighbourhood and leaving one sim to watch.

I used to play seriously and try to have my guy be successful. Then I would set the house on fire...
Of course!!! That's half the fun! The whole point of playing God is deciding who lives and who dies! And in the end, they're just pixels, so it's all good. And sometimes, it's plain survival of the fittest! (That Sim got stuck between two chairs? Up to him/her to get out of it!)
The censors probably didn't notice. And god yes that was awesome.Furburt said:
But why wasn't there the option, "Why else would I play it?"? Honestly, that's the only fun to be had in the Sims. Oh, designing can be kinda cool, and there is a small sense of satisfaction of giving your sim the perfect life.
I used to collect tombstones too... Oh my god, I think I want to play this game again... Hmmmm, I wonder where it went.Eagle Est1986 said:
try to get them to make a living by only making gnomes. then if they starve, its their fault for not getting good fast enough.
Don't even get me started on them getting stuck on furniture

I haven't played The Sims in years, but when I did it was a fantasy world with nothing but women inhabiting it who were all lesbians. 'Bout the only torture I put them through was finding out when their significant other was cheating on them, which happened often.
I'll admit, I took out my inner sadist out on those pixelated bastards, but the novelty wore off after a few days; and in the end, you're just stuck with a game that only gets entertaining the more you stuff mods into it.
Even then, it's more micromanaging that I'd like in a game, and this is coming from someone who enjoys the complexity of Civ IV and FFVIII.

yes i had a house on sims 1 where i collected gravestones in the back yard
plus i designed it to figure out all the ways i could kill them and hence collect grave stones
the easiest way i found was to put 2 polar bear rugs on the ground then fill the rest of the floor up with other rugs and put as many fire places around the walls as possible
get my willing victims to sit on the polar bear rugs take the door away and light all the fire places and wait eventually all the rugs would go up in flames and the whole room would catch after that and a few minutes later i would have 4 grave stones to add to my collection have the survivors clean up then lay down new rugs and so the cycle continued
eventually the house got so expensive i had to spend quite a while with 8 sims full going at work to afford the place so i could manufacture new graves
[edit]and the ghosts lots and lots of ghosts the ghosts were pretty cool

I did the wall thing where you build an outhouse and remove all the toilets in the house to lure the sims outside then when they are inside I would remove the door and the toilet. 
To make it worse sometimes I would make the box they were in smaller so they couldn't move around much either. xD I think I only did it to my neighbor sims though. >

Nah, haven't played Sims. But in other similar games (______ Tycoon, RTS's) I usually do that. Funny.
I'd kill them off to get a ton of graves then have the ghosts haunt my actual family. Another time my house was on fire while the repoman came. He stood in the fire, pulled out a ray gun, and zapped my computer away, then he just walked out through the fire.
Dropping satellites on them too. also making two sims of your friends of the same sex, and making them gay together. That's always fun, but usually follows with said person killing their sim in anguish.
