Voodoo doll improvement

Hey all! So I feel the voodoo doll in the sims 4 is lackluster compare to the previous versions of the sims. I think sims 2 did a really great job on this & sims 1 was pretty funny because you actually saw the person reacting from it & was pretty dark too. I was really hoping that the voodoo doll would be improved on when realms of magic came on. I would really like for EA to work on it & add more to it. Is this something others would like to see? If so , what would you like added to it? I think one feature that would make it better would be able to bind/unbind the doll at will rather then having to have a whole set of them for different sims.

  • I don't really use it only because it isn't that interesting so they should make it more interesting
  • Just being able to unbind a voodoo doll would be an improvement for me. According to every guide I've read on the topic, it should be possible with Mischief level 5 or above, but not in my game. I don't know if it's a mod causing the issue, but can't be bothered to dig deeper into it either because, as others have said, the voodoo doll in its current state is very forgettable and not worth the trouble. It would be nice if there were at least a few more things to do with it.
  • I think it's be great to add in effects we already have in game too it. Make it more powerful and menacing for sure. I do use it but... yeah it's now and then for a mischief/evil character that doesn't have other built in powers because it's pretty weak. I use it more when I'm reminded of it by the game (fish it up or do the mischief aspiration).
  • I would love it to have more things to do with it. Maybe you could make a Sim an Occult with it, if you have the packs for that option, maybe you can do good things ( as some can be used to help not always hurt) like help them gain a random skill gain like the wishing well can ( and potions in Sims 3) and maybe it could have more good and not so nice options available.

    You can have a chance to blackmail sims thru wishing well, you can with bugs in Strangerville pack, maybe you could with the voodoo doll. Maybe you could also cause other Sims to get marked for other Sims they meet to become instant enemies or other things, like you can with some spellcaster spells.

    There are so many things come to mind, I think I would use it if it had more options, I tend to forget about it.
  • I'd use it more if it was more impactful. I was disappointed trying it the first couple of times that I barely bother with it at all anymore, I mostly forget it's there. It has potential to be so much fun but it just isn't right now in it's current state.
  • I used it to fulfill the mischievious aspiration, but it is kind of tame and since you can only bind it to one Sim and you rarely want to use it on a family member or loved one...
  • Yes, this version really falls short of past ones. I never use them in 4, but I did in previous versions. If they get one by fishing or by joining and winning as the Pranksters, I usually sell the dolls for cash early on when my households are just getting started and could use the money. So to me, that's all they're good for right now. Easy money!
