Tell me about your criminal gangs

I have a certain amount of deviant play running through my game though I'm mostly into playing wholesome and functional sims. It's just to keep things interesting.

Wolfgang Munch is a mob boss in my game. He's now gone through his second ex-wife and is gaining a bad reputation. He intends his son from his first marriage to be his heir but the boy is just so soft and gentle. His first wife was a spy who was keeping him under surveillance but Wolfgang caught on and she disappeared since her cover was blown. I haven't played with many underlings.

There's a sim named Shelley who I made playable that started as one of the criminals in the police station where I was playing with some cops. Shelley is the sister of the wife of one of the cops. She had a child to extort a wealthy sim whom she gave up to her sister to raise.

I do have a strict rule that kids in the game are all in stable and loving homes. I made the Sim courts force Shelley to give her son up to her more stable sister. Shelley can get up to whatever shenanigans she wants now and only has supervised visitation. Wolfgang takes care of his kid, he just thinks the boy is weak and needs to toughen up.

Not a gang but I've had a cult leader in the game who was brainwashing a number of sims through yoga. One of the spas was actually a front for his leadership. I will say it was incredibly funny. The Sim Local Council finally took action and expelled him and his followers from the game. (They could show up in another save if I want.) A couple of his children who escaped the cult are still in the game. I was amused by the thought that Wolfgang's mob would not go near the cult leader, they were genuinely terrified of him. Vampires also avoided him and his followers for being too weird.

That's genius! :D

Thanks! It was really funny. The yoga was a form of mind control. It was primarily based in Oasis Springs and he lived in that house that the Calientes start in. Beware of mysterious sims with unexplained wealth who promise to solve all of your problems.

Hey there!

As this thread had been inactive since 2019, I'm closing it as per our necroposting rules.

Thanks,

I have a few

Newcrest Widths: A reformatory school/juvenile hall. Officially, they're supposed to try and step away from illicit activities. But the club has a "be mean to Newcrest Height sims" (from the fancy prep school nearby) so they regularly get into these little turf wars. Their "base" is their school, but I have it set to a local lounge where some of the NH sims go, so they can pick fights with them.

Golden Empire: All the rich "leader" sims of each neighborhood (The Goths, Fengs, Landgraabs, Vlad, etc.) have this secret cabal where they control everything in the world from behind the curtain. They also constantly backstab each other, make secret alliances and work to take over other lands: the Frosts of Newcrest were able to usurp control of StrangerVille from the Roswells, and a vampire that defeated and depowered Vlad took control over Forgotten Hollow. Their base is the Frosts' mansion, where they hold meetings under the guise of wealthy dinner parties.

The Lanas: From an old playthrough story I did. My sim, Lana, and her minions (Each of them also named Lana) just go around and insult, pick fights, and otherwise bully people. No reason for it, other than that they're jerks.

I'm also working on San Myshuno street gangs, but the three-club limit for sims makes forming the groups a pain.

Wow, well done. Those are some intense plot lines, especially the Golden Empire. That sounds like a film or tv show.

OMG I love the Golden Empire!!! High illumitati + new global order energy. Love it.

About Lana and her minions, it must be so funny to watch it lol

I love Get Together for allowing such incredible ideas.

I had a criminal couple. Nothing happened. It was boring and disappointing.

That is hilarious and I love the idea :D I haven't tried anything quite so criminally sophisticated. My sims turn out mean and go around beating up half the town for aspiration fodder :#

I actually have a secret high society club who does operate shady businesses in order to benefit from the community. They are featured in my As Sims Go By video series as a contrasting board to the real Council. It's not like they run about to rob old ladies or break into a store to steal values, though. These sims are mostly too rich to bother with small winnings - if they see §100 on the pavement where they walk, they would probably just walk on ;) I'm not even sure they see themselves as criminals, most of them might think they just do what they are entitled to. They like to influence laws and official routines, while nobody knows about the existence of their group - yet...

Ha! Just read this and it's pretty much like my secret Ground Up cartel, described above :) In my group there is one memnber from each world (most worlds) and it's normally the wealthiest resident. They cooperate and support each other a bit more than yours, though :)
