So, why do you suppose my sim can ONLY make evil toys?

[buddha pest]

Joe Carr, married into the family, now an elder, has max enthusiasm in Arts & Crafts, all creativity points, and has made 16 straight evil jack-in-the-boxes in a row, followed by 7 straight evil kites in a row.

Actually, prior to this, I didn't even know an evil kite existed. I've never, ever seen it before, and OFB's been around quite some time now.

This has to be a glitch, correct? I do realize the man has only 3 nice points, but I know I've had other grouchy sims at the toy bench before, and I've never seen this happen.

He is also perma-plat about 40 times over, so being in a bad mood is not an issue either.

What gives?

I don't mind the evil JITB, but I'd like some normal kites for him to gift to the grandkids.

ETA: I think he did make one or two regular jack-in-the-boxes at first before this streak started, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Seems like you have DC, which contains evilsimseviltoys.package. It makes evil toys to be default for grouchy Sims.
The hack was made because evil toys are very rare to begin with (that's why you've never seen them before), even before hitting PermaPlat or gaining Gold badge, and virtually impossible to produce after hitting PermaPlat.

[Annan]

Evil kite? What does the evil kite do?

[J. M. Pescado]

For kids? Nothing. Kids are immune to the effect. For non-kids? Why exactly are you still doing that?

Aha!

See, I weed throught the DC every time to nix the DO NOT WANTS, but I've never even heard of this one.

Okay, thanks.

Apparently, evil kite just gets you electrocuted faster, Annan.

Oh, well if kids are immune, then I guess I shouldn't fret, but that evil kite is creepy looking.

And FYI, my grown sims do fly kites as well because they are so foot loose and fancy free. So there.

There was a thread about evil toys here.

Ergh, so does this mean he's going to make some kind of craptacular Water Wigglers that make a big mess? Or does that only happen if they break?

I don't feel like exiting the game and firing up again before he gets his damn gold badge.

The whole purpose of this was so that the damn family wouldn't have to bathe their pigpen dogs every damn day of life. I need functional Water Wigglers damnit!

I can say "damn" 20 more times if you want me to too! Damn, damn, DAMN, James!

If you take out evilsimseviltoys.package, PermaPlat Sims won't be able to produce evil toys ever again. Non-PermaPlat Sims will still produce evil toys once in a while, but only when their aspiration and/or motive are very low.

[rufio]

Does evilness make toys less attractive to customers in businesses?  Because if not, I might install that.  My neighborhood could use an evil toyshop.

[Zazazu]

Sims are just as likely to buy an evil toy as a non-evil one.

[Grugly]

Wish my artsy sim made only evil kites. To give to his grandkids. So they would die. He refused to make a single one, out of sixty. You know how hard it is to get people electrocuted the normal way?

What? Stop looking at me like that.

Yeah, I know. I just don't want to exit and restart to get the hack out. I'm a lazy monkey. I leave the game running for days on end.

So download the mod in question? Unless of course he's a nice guy....

It's not that hard to get electrocuted with the regular kite either though. Just wait for a thunderstorm, and go fly a kite.

I think it turns into a sadistic game, where I decide the sim is spiting me by making only happy rainbow kites, and I think "Fine, screw you too, you can stand here and make kites forever you dirty rotten son of a bitch."
Being inanimate, he doesn't appear to mind. But he will. Oh, he will.

There is no real difference between the evil and non-evil kites, except that the EVIL ONES LOOK MORE AWESOME. But I probably just think so because I'm a mean sim.

Never wash your dog again. Only slightly cheaty.

I prefer them as well. I have no idea what that means.

There really isn't? The one time I did get one, the sim using it ALWAYS got electrocuted. Every time.

...in Winter.

They really do look awesome though.

[buddha pest]

Hmm. I can't. I can't cheat in that way. Water Wigglers or bathtubs only.

As far as I can tell, stinky pet fur and stinky pet mouth are not one and the same, and I just couldn't go through with it.

What I may do, however, is cheatily give someone else in the family a gold toymaking badge. Because this is just not fair. I did not know I had this mod in game, or I'd have sent a nicer sim to toy-making-skilling.

Apparently I'm a nice sim now because that evil one really gives me the heebs for some reason that I just can't explain. Freaky clown-in-a-box doesn't faze me, but that kite is...hairy or...something.

[Zazazu]

I just pull the hygiene bar up on dogs. Sometimes I forget, and if I do so to the point at which they actually get stinky, they get a bath.

Awesome.  I have to install this when I get back to my computer.

I'd have to say your sim just fails at life. Unless it wasn't a kid, I'm not sure how kites work with adults. But it's annoyingly difficult to kill off sim children. Or even just electrocute them.

[J. M. Pescado]

I am pretty sure I didn't apply the effects to water wigglers because there's actually a meaningful difference. Whereas the other toys have no functional purpose and frankly, the evil versions are funnier!

[buddha pest]

Yes, Joe got his gold badge today and is churning out quality Wigglers.

The day is saved.

He does. He's a Mr. Big. So many skills and so much money that they're instaboring, and with a big nose to boot.

I have a great dog washing cheat( of sorts) but it was from a site that no longer exists- it is a fire hydrant that the dog can activate automously.  I love it and it looks cute too.  I wish that site didn't go under it had some cool things.

[virgali]

I'm gonan risk my neck here and ask where I could get this evilsimseviltoys.package? I did a goggle search and nothing useful came up
