Re: Why am I hearing an evil laugh randomly

Have you noticed any Sims loitering around the home? Evil laughs can happen when there is an Evil Sim in the vicinity, so if you have a random visitor on the doorstep or hanging around outside unless it's a haunted lot as already suggested.

I've had a lot of issues with rowdy uninvited guests at various lots. I can think of one in Oasis Springs where I had to delete Sims from Other Households just to get them off the lot, half the time I didn't notice them till they started making a racket.

There’s sims walking past the plot and that’s it. The only time people arrive at my plot is when they welcomed me to the neighbourhood. The house isn’t haunted.

@j1piter_fAre you on PC with any mods by any chance? I can't find any mention of it in the bug reports to see if it's happened to anyone else.

I have mcc and wonderful whims and that’s it. I play on a laptop 

Is Vlad loitering on your doorstep? He visits often and often does the evil laugh.

It's definitely caught my interest lol. It's a strange one! I'll be really fascinated to see what's causing it.

Edit: I've found an old community thread from 2015 with another player mentioning it but no solution was presented. It was happening while the family of Sims was sleeping (shudders!).

 No, I haven’t seen Vlad at all. I’m new to sims but I’m pretty sure he’s only in the vampire pack correct me if I’m wrong. 

if I am wrong, I haven’t seen him. I’ve played two households in the same game and both households do the same thing. It also happens when I’m travelling. 

Yeah, he's only in the vampire pack, so if you don't have it it's not him.

@Pick-a-boo_doo They’re all residential but I went to the park in oasis springs and it happens there. I put the traits for my home with the good lighting and one where the sims get the homey moodlet and the breezy trait too

---

@Pick-a-boo_doo i had no mods in the first few weeks of playing and the laugh happened then too

Hi, Thanks for the reply.
So the phenomenon started without mods? Didn't it generate LastException, does it?
I wonder if the sound is still somewhere in the background, as like the one in Live Mode where the background music keeps playing. That's about all I can think of at this stage.
I'll try to find some video on YouTube.

Adding:

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any footage to reference; there was one on reddit, posted last month about Evil Laugh, but I think it was a little different because it said the whole house was covered in dust, along with laughter.
You don't mean that you hear laughter the whole time you are playing, but that you hear laughter at some point, right? Maybe there is some trigger.
There is a Malcolm Landgraab in Oasis Springs who has an Evil trait. Is it possible that he was nearby when you heard the laughter? (His laughter is a bit high toned.)
Also, are there any midi files mixed in with the Tray folder? If so, is it possible that it is a voice midi?
Here's what I can think of right now.
It doesn't feel good to hear that laughter while playing, does it...
Sorry I can't offer any clues. I hope you will be able to figure out this soon.
I'll post again if I think of anything else.

I was hearing a creepy laugh in my game recently too - high pitched rather than deep - and eventually discovered that my youngest Sim child is laughing in his sleep. I didn't know this was possible, and it's definitely a bit creepy... but is it possible one of your adult Sims is doing the same?
