Angry Neighbor

Wow. I don't play in apartments, I find them way too squishy for my taste. I am very curious, however, to find out just what your neighbor meant with his threat. Please do share what happens, but I would save beforehand, just in case the worst happens.

Following.

There are limits to the damage he can do. I will say that. The family living there are vampires and are immune to quite a bit. The parents aren't even fazed by the noise HE makes because they have Level 3 Emotional Dampening, which gives them a permanent Fine +10 Moodlet. (Which is also useful for easily earning the "What Makes a Sim Turn Neutral?" Achievement.) Still, if he get's on my nerves too much, he might find himself following Lily (his wife) to the afterlife. She started with the banging first. I tried to be nice to her, until I found out she hated kids. After that, I used the Book of Chaos to electrocute her to death where she stood in the hallway.

I don't think anything is actually going to happen. It's probably just flavor text, so I wouldn't worry about him following through on it.

Don't worry about it, nothing will happen. I love playing in San Myshuno and I love making the neighbors angry when my sims play music at 3.00am and I have had that said to me many times and nothing has even happened. It would be cool if the landlord said you had to leave because of complaints :D :D :D

I read somewhere he might try to start fights in the hallway or get in noise wars. If that's true, he'll be in over his head. A human fighting a vampire would just be stupid, and making noise won't upset them. I don't know for certain if these or other things might happen, but if he's going to insist on being an obnoxious bint, I guess he'll have to deal with the repercussions.

I doubt the landlord could evict anyone, since that power lies with the player-god. XD However, raising the rent could have been a viable option. Lousy Neighbour Tax. Hehe. It annoys me most because of the threats. I don't respond well to threats, even idle ones. He told me "keep it down, or else." I can definitely show him what "or else" looks like (the loony prat...).

I had the same problem with my neighbor. Usually I was the one pounding at his door because every evening they were arguing. Then one day, he came pounding to my door complaining about the radio playing too loud then he left threatening me I would regret it. It was the first time I received a complaint. I guess he wanted to make it even I don't know lol.

Anyway I now moved into a beautiful house in Brindleton Bay far away from this guy. My relationship with him never improved but I don't care! At least there's no more arguing in the middle of the night.

I got sick of the whole situation and didn't feel like offing the neighbour, so I fixed the family's relationship with him using the modifyrelationship cheat. Now that he's their friend, instead of banging on the door in a huff, he came over saying "Sounds like something awesome is happening at your place. Mind if I come check it out?" So, now he's wanting to hang out and enjoy the music instead of complaining about it. It's like that old saying about defeating an enemy by making him a friend. Interesting.

I had the same thing happen, too. In my current save I have a small family including two vampires living in an apartment. Their only neighbor was this old woman across the way and she would make noise almost every night. I had just put the toddlers to bed, when of course the loud woohooing started and woke them up.

Since she did come to my apartment complaining about noise (only once) to which I ignored, she’s disliked by the family. So when I went pounding on her door (and this was the billionth time), she came out, my vampire sim starting yelling at her and she brushed him off. Then I got the notification: “I’m sick of your complaining!” You best bet that I was done with this lady. I had both my vampire sims travel to her apartment and y’know, try to get rid of her.

She was indestructible. I made her enraged. Nothing. I set her on fire. Nothing. I couldn’t even use MCCC! She wasn’t a vampire either. So, in the end, I added her to the household and then I was able to use MCCC. After a few minutes of looking over the many options, I decided to go with lightning. Let’s just say that now, my toddlers were finally able to sleep peacefully. :D

There's always Book of Chaos as well. You can kill a Sim in lots of ways with a simple inventory item. Electrocution, fire, Kiss of Death, drowning in pee, throwing a poison drink in their face, and others. There are also various torments like alien abduction, freezing (and you don't even need to own a Sim Ray), making them puke, etc. If anyone uses it though, two cautions. 1. Don't leave it in your bookshelf. Since the shelf can't recognize CC books, it will disable the "Read..." option because it interferes with the list. 2. The afflicted Sim may not stay dead. If this happens, Shift+Click the Urn/Tombstone, add the ghost to your household and either delete or rekill them. It's a fun mod, in spite of its shortcomings.
