My Sim gets slandered all the time and as a result, is pretty much hated by everyone. The stupidest time was when she was slandered for having a baby out of wedlock. She then had the option to 'dispel rumours' with the father of said baby. I then got the stupid 'wow, that's vicious' message....despite the fact that he knew full well that the rumours were true, and the baby was his!
Poppy was a born in game celebrity, 3 stars already because of her famous parents. Even as a child sim there was rumours pratically everyday that she had been arrested and as a result, all of her school friends hated her. Even the Butler and the maid working for her parents hated her! And because she was only a child, I had no way of suing.
As a result, she's now in her teens with only 1 friend and several people hating her. Worst thing is, the poor girl is 'good' and 'friendly' and only famous because of her parents.
I think the idea of slander is good, hell I don't even mind being falsely acussed if it's realistic. But I hate certain aspects of it.
Like hounding and booing a child whose done nothing wrong?! Fair enough teenagers and adults but child sims shouldn't be affected by slander.
And getting publically booed and refused entry wherever I go because I had some stuff taken by the repoman?
. Plenty of celebs are shamed for much, much worse than that here in England and I don't see them getting refused entry to clubs.
