Question of the Day, April 9, 2010

[Baby Tea]

I haven't played in forever, but I used to play back in the day.
And when I did play, I wouldn't kill my own Sims, but I would kill my sister's if she got me mad. It was always funny to hear her complain about how her husband is dead. Or he ran away with some hussy Sim I made just for seducing him.

Mwahaha! It was hilarious!

 

[Jamash]

No, not my Sims, but I torture and antagonise the other Sims by-proxy with my Evil Sim.

I've given him the Evil, Mean Spirited, Insane, Inappropriate and Hates Children traits, which makes him the biggest arsehole in all of SimTown.

I mainly troll the other Sims in aesthetic ways, by dressing my Sim in outrageously garish clothing and not washing, or in architectural ways, like making painting the inside of my front room, carpets and furniture with a black space pattern, so it messes with their heads and sends them mad.

I've also use full length mirrors to great effect in making my house seems to be different dimensions than what it really is, plus I've made all the external walls in my bathroom out of full length windows, made the internal walls mirrors, and made the only light a spot light shining on the toilet, so the entire neighbourhood can see my Sim taking a dump (I just wish he would wave at them as they walked past).

Hilariously enough, when I leave him to his own devices, his favourite activity seems to be using the computer to troll internet forums, and due to his traits he seems to seek out other Sims children wearing just his skimpy, cartoon animal patterned bathing costume, and once he's made them cry with his insane and creepy babbling, he beats up their enraged parents and then laughs at their misfortune.

This Sim has sort of backfired on me though, I've truly made a monster, because I made the mistake of making my "proper" Sim (based on me) in the same game world as my "Evil Troll Sim", which means that when I was trying to progress in the game normally, the evil insane Sim would keep fucking shit up for me, it's like the game purposefully made my 2 created Sims interact more with each other, and I'd have to turn round and walk the other way if I saw him coming or leave my house via the back door every time he visited.

I was so happy when they added basements and lockable doors in The Sims 3. The last sim I made had a really nice house, and the shed in the back led to a really nice basement where he trapped other sims. Below that, there was a dungeon, which was just a huge stone room lit only by torches. At the very bottom, there was his golden toilet storage room.

One time I accidentally trapped a pregnant woman (she didn't look pregnant when I brought her) and she just stood in one place yelling and pissing herself. When I got annoyed and let her out she ran to the hospital.

Oh yeah, That's the fun of the game.

I mean, take away virtual Misanthropy and you're left with just controlling a virtual recreation of real life.

You might as well just get up, go outside and talk to real people. You wouldn't have to spend money on the game as well.

 

[KimberlyGoreHound]

I had a house dedicated to murder. It had no less than 50 (probably over 75) gravestones in the backyard. 8 people at a time, get them all in one room, flip the couch over the door so nobody can leave. For extra cruelty, make them all as antisocial as possible, so they beat each other up as they live in shit and get haunted.

 

[Sir Kemper]

Used too, towards the end of my time playing that game.

 

[The Last Nomad]

Not that I tried to torture my sims...
But everytime they wanted to do something with some of their free will, I decided against it...
I also Forced them to listen to certain types of music, wear certain types of clothes and befriend the people I wanted them to befriend...
In hindsight... Thats pretty cruel

 

[Kollega]

I didn't actually play any Sims games (well, not the "Sims" part anyway - i've tried architectin'). But even if i did, i don't think i would abuse sims. Maybe because i fail to see what is so awesome in unprovoked torture. I mean, i'd only like causing someone infinite amounts of pain if they themselves did something particulary horrible to begin with.

looks like the player plays god games
*sunglasses*
old testament style
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

That's a good one.

 

[Stryc9]

It's not just half the fun, it's ALL the fun. My favorite method was usually starvation, even though I haven't gotten to spend much time with the Sims 3 yet because my computer is too shitty to run it very well.

 

[Catchy Slogan]

I used to drown them or wait till they set themselves on fire so that I could have zombies.

 

[Archemetis]

Me and my friend made a room with complete windowed walls, filled with nothing but a bin and wall to wall bug zappers, we made a woman walk around day in and day out touching them, the charge kept her energy at max but she was miserable the entire time.

In the safe, comfy house we had a room with huge windows that looked into the glass room of torture that mine and my friends guys could sit on a big couch and watch her do it all day.

It was fun.

'specially every time we focused on something else and could hear her shocking herself in the background.



Also it's fun to get a pool with a diving board, make your sims go up on it, and then delete the pool as they're jumping.

Three hits of solid pavement and they're dead

 

[Jark212]

Yes, I ran many experiments including but not limited to:
-Waterboarding
-Child abuse/murder
-Burning people alive
-Starvation
-Confinement to small rooms until the subjects die
-Manipulation
-Murder of spouses-/children to document the effects on loved ones
-Torture experiments to numerous to mention...

It was the only way to keep there god (me) entertained...

 

[Sonic Doctor]

No. But I killed many civilians in Jurassic Park Operation Genesis and RollerCoaster Tycoon.

I really liked Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2 because you could cause a disaster and kill the guests when you got bored. But then all that changed with Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. They really messed the series up with that installment, then made it too innocent kid friendly. People can't die in accidents. This is how I found out I couldn't kill people:
Not long after I started playing RCT 3, I got aggravated at the new feature of the game, which was that they added a brown-suited guy to the game that would ride the player's rides and rate them, whether they were safe or enjoyable enough. I got angry at the guy because he was giving all my rides bad ratings so people wouldn't ride them, so I designed one of those launch coasters so it would crash into the side of a hill. I waited for the guy to get near the ride, then I opened it and he and several other guests got on. I watch on laughing evilly, but was angered when the coaster launched and crashed. Instead of people exploding and dying, the coaster exploded and all the riders went flying and were yelling "weeeee" and "ahhhh". After all the passengers landed after being exploded in every direction, they got up and went about their business getting on more rides and eating. The stupid brown-suited guy survived of course and rated poorly, my coaster of death.

Fireworks
Indoors
In a house with no toilets

What's the point of being God if you can't torture and burn a few of these meaningless multitudinous minions of yours?

My brother turned his Sim in the Sims 2, into a murder. He had a back-story for him and everything. He would have his Sim befriend a neighbor or a passerby, then later he would invite the person over. He would put a plate of cookies into a small room and to lure the visitor into the room, then he would pause the game, remove the door and then place a rug and fireworks into the room. Then the visitor would set the room on fire and die. My brother's Sim had a mansion and in one of the rooms he had the urns of all his victims. It made me a little suspicious of my brother after that.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

I have never actually played any of the games.

People end up cheating it anyway, I know I did. Items for the house were usually so over priced that it took forever for my Sim to earn the money to buy one nice thing(I guess kind of like real life.) But this was a big problem in the Sims 2, because it took something like only 29 Sim days to go from being an adult to being an old fogy that was going to die soon. That is why when I played, I would always use the anti-aging cheat so that age counter wouldn't go up.(Come on scientists, come up with an anti-aging cheat for real life.) Along with that one I would used the motherload cheat to get 50000 money each time I used it.

If you don't really focus much on your Sim's life, it is really just a glorified house design program.

 

[Idlemessiah]

Small room in garden with no windows or doors and being forced to cook eternally until the oven catches fire.

Once the only toilet in the house glitched out so it was continuously flushing and my sims were scared to use it and it took me ages to realise why they were constantly wetting themselves. I honestly thought they had all developed weak bladdersand couldn't make it to the loo, not because it didn't work.

But heres an evil one. Married couple with kids, wifey likes to go clubbing without husband and getting 'friendly' with women. Then over th course of about 20 in-game years she has an affair with probably 50 different women, several of them simultanious, and the husband finds out about ALL of them, but because she was so charming he always took her back. Then to top it off the poor guy was impregnated by aliens =/

Well, yeah. Trapping random neighbours who came by and watching them cry was fun. But for a shining moment in the torture of vitual people, look here. [http://www.cracked.com/blog/exploring-the-mysteries-of-the-mind-with-the-sims-3/]

Oh and that link was so damn funny!

 

[RockyH]

I can't remember torturing my Sims. I mean, I think I walled in one couple once. But that was only because I thought Child-Services were going to take their baby!

I think that's why they were coming....

 

[Robert632]

When I played the game I tried not to abuse them.I think me abusing them would have been inevitably better for them.

 

[Dioxide20]

one of the few things that got me to play the original, i would lock my sim in a small room without a toilet, and put the game on full speed, it was fun for a few laughs...

as I was writing this, i realized just how creepy this seems...

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

Child Services came to take my child away once. When the lady picked up my kid I deleted all the doors and windows in the room. She stayed there for about a day before just shrugging and disappearing in a puff of smoke, baby and all.
