i've got... lets just say a lot of evil sims in my game, though i don't actually play all of them

some are around for future ideas or stories i've got working in the back of my head, some are around just as background detail, some are just randomly generated townies that passed my 'do i find this sim interesting enough to edit/keep' test. others are played households and i enjoy them. lots of people seem scared to use evil sims because they think they have to be mean all the time, but that's not true at all (in fact, they tend to be nicer than sims with the mean trait, overall)

...also, i'm a huge, huge fan of the maniacal laughter evil sims do on their own. especially when it's at totally random times, like while eating breakfast

anyway, for stories with your current sim, the easy options would be to have her reach the top of either side of the criminal career. both can be a bit fun and rather interesting, and the oracle is pretty unique and would fit your sim nicely (it's all about hacking, so max programming is perfect). i've got nancy landgraab as the don (the boss) in my game, leader of the mafia-influenced side of the criminal career (you can actually thank the my first pet stuff pack for that. one of the little blurbs about your pet rodent involves a 'don landgraab' so i had to make her the don to fit that) and a sim of my own design as the oracle (paige turner, who is a clumsy, genius, geek. so not evil at all, but that doesn't stop her from doing bad things to those she thinks deserve it). the oracle went through quite an ordeal before deciding she'd use hacking to make the world pay, but now she's in charge of the net demons (a hacker club i created to simulate her faceless army of hackers) and uses them to reward or punish sims as she sees fit

could also do some more crazy or silly things, especially when the november patch hits. i personally have been considering an evil trendsetter who goes out of their way to try to make people look as ridiculous and outlandish as possible while having a more sensible trendsetter (or the other side of the stylist career) trying to combat this

(the following is just babbling about some of the evil sims in my game, but something could spark an idea)

one of my favorite households is the davies household (you can see the father and teenage daughter in that picture. there is also a child son who is a kleptomaniac). originally, dewayne was a random townie i intended to make the boyfriend of another random townie in my game (lukas pagan, both are up on the gallery for different reasons) before i saw his trait combo and thought he'd be interesting enough to center a story around. he is evil, creative, and loves family. when i gave him a house and went to play him, i found out he is also an alien. and that he had a romantic relationship with another hidden alien who was also creative and loved family, but she had the good trait.. the game had already given me a great story for them! the two wound up having twins together and dewayne got abducted twice, giving him two more kids. the good vs evil strain got too be too much for his wife, though, and she left to live elsewhere and took the twins with her. so dewayne was left with his abduction kids, who take after him. kali, the daughter, is evil and a slob, kade, the son, is a klepto as mentioned. dewayne is also at the top level of the villain path of the secret agent career, has a secret lab beneath his 'normal' house (it's decor would be normal to a vampire, but stands out to normal sims. dewayne doesn't understand this, though, and swears he's blending in. except, he kind of is, since his neighbors are the goths...). his neighbor, bella goth is also his best friend, coworker, and arch nemesis. the two seriously hang out after work nearly every day, even though she's good to his evil

kas in the picture there was a gallery download, but he's in my 'interstellar smugglers' household, which consists of 3 alien astronauts, all in the interstellar smuggler path, and the teenage daughter of one of them. kas is the only evil one in the group, and their de facto leader. but i try to play them as a...friendly but not at all nice household. they get along among themselves, since they understand each other, and they are nice to others unless otherwise required, but have zero qualms about stabbing someone in the back or kicking them when they're down if it means they get a rare creature or object to add to either their collection or the sizeable list of goods their clients are searching for.

phinehas maxwell is part of a household based off the miike snow video 'ghengis khan'. i haven't played them much, but the video explains the dynamic. both characters are secret agents, phinehas is a villain, the other the super spy sent to stop him. phinehas captured his nemesis, they discovered their love for each other, and are now living together. and dancing the night away because both are dance machines (based on the video). i have eventual plans for the two, including creating phinehas's kids and quite likely his (ex)wife, just for some drama. but that's somewhere down the road

six of my evil sims are also vampires (some of those are gallery downloads, like paradiseplanet's yuki-onna, a vampire ghost based on japanese folklore, or miss hell and kat cave from the 'rebellious vampires' household from the vampire pack trailers... though i renamed miss hell to misery hell). i actually try to avoid this trait for vampires, since it's the number one trait many simmers insist vampires need. but, sometimes you just need an evil vampire. the rebellious vampire household is being modeled after the anarchs from vampire: the masquerade, with some aspects of the sabbat added in (they don't care about using their powers in front of groups of mortals) just to cause a rift with the 'council of masques', the vampire club that is based loosely on the camarilla from that game system. and then there's vlad, of course. haven't done much with him at all. but eventually... and my favorite evil vampire is 'lin xiulan', the jade countess (a gallery download, but edited and renamed, though i kept her jade countess title), who ruthlessly rules the criminal empire in and around san myshuno. she's a reptile-themed vampire, swears she was cursed (or blessed) by the dragons of her homeland of china and refuses to even consider the fact that she's a vampire. her lieutenants, the fangs of the dragon, are all vampires she created, too, and all asian (mostly chinese, but in her centuries as a vampire she's relaxed a bit and allowed japanese, vietnamese, korean, thai and other members into her organization). each one runs their own criminal group (one a former yakuza family, one a set of former triads and so on) and all report to her

...and, here's one that i really wish i could do something about. it seems that my love guru is evil. man, that could be a fun tale to explore, but touching her would remove her from being the love guru, alas
