CHALLENGE INTRODUCTION:

You have grown your whole life not trusting people, and when you entered your adult life, that mistrust was taken to a whole new level. You don't even trust your neighbors, damn them. You certainly have the testosterone to take them on, but you are quite convinced that everyone and everything you know is working against you. Naturally, your only choice is to kill them. Kill everyone. The only thing that lets you sleep soundly at night is the hope that someone out...or up there will understand your general misanthropy. Until then, your only buddy is your trusty gun.

MODS TO DOWNLOAD BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS CHALLENGE:
Either the Disintergrator , Stink Ray , or Assault Rifle from SimWardrobe.com. I prefer the assault rifle myself.

SET UP

You must go into a premade, virgin neighborhood. A neighborhood with a healthy supply of Sims to exterminate. Now empty your family bin into the neighborhood and go through the motions.

Go to create a family, and create a male adult sim. He must have zero outgoing points, and zero nice points. He must be a knowledge sim with the lifetime want to max out 7 skills.

Why so specific, you may ask? Simple.

Any other aspiration or lifetime want requires contact with others. It requires friends. You don't trust a single soul. So, you're not going to have any friends.

Move your sim into any house. It can be from the lot bin or one off the already available lots. Now, listen closely.

RULES

You shall not have a phone, or computer, or television, or a burglar alarm, or a fire alarm...you get the gist? No items that allow contact to the outside world. Including radios.

Like I said, no friends. You ARE allowed to befriend stray pets. They seem harmless enough. You seem to relate to wolves anyway.

You cannot have a job or a car. That boss of yours will clearly give your information to the illuminati or some society of that sort.

You cannot use money cheats. If you are low on cash, scrape the paint off the walls and shell it out that way. You CAN use the money tree, and I would not recommend the counterfeiter (the fuzz, man). I would allow maxmotives....SPARINGLY. If things get horrifying. Like if smelly, green aspiration Mr. Hermit was about to starve because somebody walked by the second he was about to climb into bed, and he wets himself in the process bad. It will deract points, however.

YOU DO NOT TRUST A SOUL. YOU MUST KILL AS MANY WALK BYS AS POSSIBLE. IF YOU MISS THEM, THEN YOU MUST KILL THEM THE NEXT TIME THEY WALK BY. NPCs like newsies and postmen are exempt because they are a total clog to the neighborhood and are more damaging to your game to kill than simple townies and premades. They have the annoying ability to be replaced by randoms. You can if you like, but I would not advise it. KILL EVERYONE ELSE THOUGH.

You may only have children via abduction (hence the adult male factor). They can't have friends until they go to college or move out, and you have to kill anyone they bring over from school. They can't have jobs either. During the period between initial baby bumpness and first birthday, you are allowed to put off your mad killing spree. Unless you don't want to.

OBJECTIVE
Kill (or orphan) off most-to-all the entire pre-made neighborhood. I would say killing 50-100 sims would be a decent amount. You must empty out every house but your own, and kill to the point where the only walkbys are the newsie and postman NPCs. Not only must you be completely insane and kill everyone, but you must also complete your lifetime want and die of a happy old age.

SCORING
GOOD:
1+ for each general kill (adult, teen, elder)
5+ for each child kill (they can't be shot down with the guns, you actually have to stick them in a tiny room and burn them. Which totally isn't annoying at all)
10+ for alien childbirth, 5+ for every alien birth after that
25+ for a good grow up to elder(+50 if you aged up to elder platinum)
10+ for a good grow up for alien kids (15+ if they were platinum. Toddlers and children are a bit easier to get to platinum.)

BAD:
5- for use of maxmotives
25- for aspiration failure
50- for bad grow up to elder
15- for bad child grow up (seriously should not be difficult though)
50- for social worker visit

You automatically lose if you die of a death besides a happy old age, and if there is even a whisper of a soul in the hood (besides the NPCS).

QUESTIONS?
None yet.

ANYTHING ELSE?
I'll probably post pictures of my own relaxed attempt at this challenge. I'm not the type to keep track of every single event, but I have quite a collection of pictures.

Pretty cool (but sadistic) challenge. So the challenge ends when the adult male dies?

Yep! Whenever he dies marks the end of the challenge.

That's a very cool challenge.

I tried this in Riverblossom Hills, however one townie walked past and I tried to shoot her several times, but she survived!
I tried to set her on fire, but she survived again!

I even attempted to cheat by using the inSIMenator's mortality adjustor. Nope. Still alive.

When I gave up the townie directly stared through the fourth wall at me with a look like "I know what you are doing there..."

Then I gave the challenge up and deleted Riverblossom Hills xD

Yup. In my game I can only kill resident Sims with the assault rifle. Don't know why though.

Does it have to be male? I thought female sims can get pregnant by aliens too?

I think female Sims can only get alien pregnant through tombstone of L & D.

Or if you have a female alien pregnancy hack. If you do, then I don't see why you can't have a female. I just put male, since males by default are the only ones impreg'd by aliens.

Fivey: absolutely LOVE your story! LOL! & well done! And yes, I wanna do this. Questions: killing all the walk-bys? Won't NEW ones just be generated? killing other playables? I've shot some of them before, & they die - but don't STAY dead! Then if I go to THEIR house they look crispy, but still alive. Someone else talked about inability to kill pre-mades - any ideas? I have cow-plant hack that you can command people on lot to be eaten by - maybe I'll try that.

MONEY!? How is it possible (with no more than the original $20,000) to raise kids and live an entire LIFE with no more money?! I'll put in a pond for fish, but don't think that would help much.
Community/hobby lot? Can he go there? The change in scenery gives him something new to want.

The only reason I can see to have child is because it gives them some social interaction, and wants to fulfill. I have Quads hack - wonder if he would mind roasting some of his OWN kids... I also have 2 hacks that allow him to do (ahem) nasty things to female playables. Ahh, the possibilities!

P.S. You only said friends - does that mean he can GREET people? Just to get them to hang around so he can sneak up on them..

Hope someone else posts pics/stories..or I can remember how to do it.

Sorry for double posting; I was hoping someone was still here. But even if I didn't follow the rules it was interesting. Some interesting results: after killing about 56 townies the only ones that come around look like hobby/special ones (like Garden Lady, mad scientist,etc). I have a gun and axes, but PLAYABLES can't be killed with them - or they die allright, but come back all toasted. And the suggestion to move kids & others to a "room" & "burn them" didn't work. I put a "cursed vase" with them & every square burned, and the sim burned but didn't die. What DID work was a cow-plant hack.

I have a picture of my reptilian murderer stealing the paper from a house where HIS BABY was laying on the floor. The Social Worker never came; I had to "move out" the baby & drop it on his sidewalk! He had a baby by abduction, plus 10 by playables (& no, they were not friends - he didn't like them & laughed at almost every death). I never saw the last 3 kids walk past, I had him kill the parents, than adopt the kids and then he killed them to. And against the rules, I gave him a phone to be able to "adopt" all his children. If they turn our interesting, he may let them live.

Actually, word must have gotten out that he was an axe murderer; nobody was coming by his house, so I sent him to a community lot (the killer plant works there) and ALL the remaining playables showed up at once, so he was able to kill um all!
I'm actually going to play this out, keep score, and send pics.

Hmm...is it bad if this challenge made me feel like screaming "YES!" and then laughing maniacally? I probably would have, but that would have earned me a few weird looks from the other people in the house...

I love this challenge! I'm gonna go make me a homicidal hermit! *evil laugh*

*Edit* If I have the Free Time EP, can I use the summon aliens interaction on the telescope (not a cheat, it's part of the EP) to get alien babies? Would that still count toward the score or not?

We don't know. What are you doing with them, what are they not doing in return, and have you tested them without your (non-challenge-related) hacks? You may have a conflict or you may be overlooking something in their use.

All you can do is the best you can do.

There's some expansion or other that made visiting sims immortal. You might need the hack to fix that from MATY.
