Pettiest thing to happen in your game?

Man, that’s dark.

This is nowhere near as petty, but it did happen autonomously. The younger sister of my family accidentally walked in in the older sister in the bathroom. When she was finished, the older sister immediately went to locate her younger sister’s journal to read it. Didn’t tell them to do any of it, I just watched the sibling drama unfold.

Wow, now that's what I call petty revenge! o.O My petty story isn't quite as ruthless as yours, it ironically happened earlier this morning, but here goes...

I love the Asylum challenge and am doing it for the third time, this time in Hard Mode. My controlled inmate has the childish trait so I included the big Teddy bear, Blarfy in the Asylum for her to hug, talk to, etc. They're actually BFFs now. Well, the other inmates take pleasure in hitting the poor thing. Most of them just take a poke at him now and then. but there's this one guy that goes after Blarfy constantly. He'll stand and beat him up, shove him and yell at him for literally Sim hours and hours until he's starving, ready to pee his pants and pass out.

I know it's just a toy, but it upset me seeing that constantly. I could've just got rid of him I guess, except for the fact my Sim loves him. Lorraine's first aspiration is Body Builder, she needs four aspirations to be 'free.' Once she reached Level 10, all that was left to complete the aspiration was to 'reach maximum body potential'. I had her drinking energy juice and running on the treadmill, jogging and boxing up a storm but it wasn't happening.

So, I thought, hmm, okay, maybe if she 'practiced fighting' with the Blarfy bully, she'd finally get it and have the added pleasure of beating up the guy. There was only one problem. She kept losing to him, over and over again! I couldn't believe it! She's Level 10, totally fit and this guy has the lazy trait and never excercised in his life, plus he's overweight. I had them 'practice' fighting at least a dozen times, but she always lost. AND the worst part was the guy laughed at her and got the bored moodlet. The nerve!!

That made me angry, so I decided she needed to fight him for real! Lorraine yelled at him, jeered, called his mother a Llama, mocked his outfit, threw a drink in his face, the whole nine yards until the 'fight' option came up. YES! They starting fighting and I was holding my breath the whole time for the end hoping she'd finally win! She did win (finally when it counted) and they became enemies, plus she told him to 'go away.' lol He walked away and I'm thinking, uh oh, is he actually leaving? Nope, he came back a few minutes later.

Lorraine still didn't get the 'reach maximum body potential' though. I had to send her and all the inmates to the gym so she could do an epic workout on a weight machine before it finally registered. But, hey, it was fun trying the other way, even if it was petty. ;)

Have a great week and Happy Simming! <3

@Rebbilina The war is on! That's amazing. It's only fair, after all the sister's bathroom privacy was invaded...so she had to invade the other's elsewhere. :o

@Karababy52 Oh no, not the beloved Blarfy! I'm happy to see that she "practiced fighting" with the bully. Get that justice! Nice to see she finally rose to success. I'm with you on that last point though, definitely a better way. ;) And to you as well! <3

I sometimes play sims that rule in their save game like little tin gods.. it's amusing as heck to me and I can't seem to stop myself from doing it. They can be extremely petty. If someone makes them angry or rejects them romantically they might go on a killing spree... or at least make it their mission to make that sim miserable to the point of death or divorce. It's actually a form of play for me that I don't engage in with every save. It's like a guilty pleasure though.. kind of like the amusement I use to get watching Springer but better.
I'd give one example but I pretty much explained that that's what some of my sims do... that's ALL they do. This game is better than therapy sometimes.

I read that as prettiest thing but anyway the pettiest thing I’ve done ingame was make my sim write a tell all book. She was bob pancakes side chick and pretty fed up with Eliza constantly spying on her, walking past the house a couple times a day so she decided to write a series of books calling Eliza out and letting people know exactly who she’s in a relationship with.

I also made the book titles extremely petty giving them names like “Out with the old in with the new aka Eliza Pancake”

I had a elder in my game that wouldn’t die of old age! His daughter even died before him of old age. I tried to befriend him and tried to talk up a sim I’m good friends with and he said no they don’t sound interesting. I was like “what! Not interesting! Oh no” so I lured him to my house locked him a room and thought it’s about time his time has come. I put two fireplaces at his side, a rug and a firework that my sim would set off using a door only she can enter. After 5 tries he just would not die! I tried to starve him, nothing! Put in a pool and walls around, and nothing! Had to delete him from my game manually.

Before locking her in, I made sure they were at nemesis status so when she would die, my Sim would celebrate.

And she rejoiced, three Sim days later. Had to stay on the lot during the process. A glorious success, nevertheless.

It actually worked? I tried to do something similar recently, although if you ask me, it was justified. This was a neighbor that kept invading himself over with the "I'll make myself at home and eat your food, I know you don't mind, and even if you do, I'll stay anyway" line. He did not have a key, and never had. He'd leave when asked, only to do it again, and again, and again, and again. Even after they were enemies. I guess that locking the door would have kept him out, but since the game considers keys and locks to be unrelated, that would have meant also locking out sims who were actually supposed to be able to enter the apartment. And why should my sim's close relatives be locked out over his behavior?

But he would not die of starvation. He was shut up in a room with absolutely nothing, nobody came in or out, and my sim was there the whole time, but whenever his hunger got down to a critical level, it just mysteriously went back up again. I eventually ended up using the "kill sim" cheat in MCCC, because he just would not die from not eating.

How do you describe as petty?

Bob Pancakes was so mad at Eliza (I think he suspects her of cheating with Marcus Flex)(which she is), that he stomped upstairs and left an Angry Poop in the toilet.

Kinda petty but maybe not:

I caught my butler slacking off in the hot tub so I told one of my sims to go reprimand her. She got so mad she went outside and kicked over the trash can... she went back to work tho so *shrugs* :D
