I dont know that I want to play the game like that every time I play, but I appreciate the ability to inject a little chaos into my pleasant suburbs.
Part of this is because while Sim will visibly and audibly panic if theres a murder going on in front of them (and the Extreme Violence mod allows players to call the police to arrest the Sims committing crimes), once they cycle through the animation, Sims are just weirdly okay with the random shootings and stabbings. There is too much violence in the actual world for me to get much pleasure out of causing it in the game that I use to escape into fantasies of interior design. You basically get a push this button to cause chaos mechanic, allowing you to turn the pleasant neighborhoods of Oasis Springs or Britechester into blood soaked nightmare towns at a moments notice. The violence is random, and escalates exponentially so that you go from fist fight to cold blooded murder before you can blink. They left me alone after I murdered one of them with a machete. He got completely bloodied by them, so I decided to try out another interaction in the Extreme Violence mod: I take out a gun and open fire. Once the interaction was over I thought I was done, but no, my Sim was then ben marked for harassment by the gang.
I told him that Im doing fine, and explained the mod Im using.Įvery Sim in the neighborhood, including the incredibly normie Geoffrey Landgraab, had come to see the Thotties.Ĭonrad grabbed one of the Thotties hair and wailed on her, hitting her face and stomach. So as Ive summoned a bunch of thots in my game of The Sims, Patrick came over to my desk to see how Im doing. When three young women in corsets showed up wielding daggers, I figured I had the right Sims.Īdditionally, this week Rob Zacny and Patrick Klepek are visiting because they both love me so much. Of the two gangs available, I was interested in the Thotties, who are essentially a roving band of young women who seduce and then murder Sims. With Extreme Violence installed, you have the ability to summon gangs to whatever lot youre hanging out in. The point of this mod is murder and violence, and youve given the ability to kill and maim in a variety of over the top, gruesome ways.
