The Sims 4 Criminals and Villains: CC, Mods and Challenges Full of Mayhem

Welcome to our special The Sims 4 Criminals and Villains Mod and CC Showcase. Where we’ll be showing off interesting and fun mods for The Sims 4 that will let you spruce up your gameplay with more mischief and mayhem.

Why Fight Crime When you can Jump Right In

Sure… sure… you can be a superhero, crime fighter, general goodie. But, why? Why fight crime when you can jump right in and be a super villain instead? Sounds a lot more fun to me. Of course, we’re talking about your Sims. Not you, or me.

Skipping right over the people in tights, those comic and cartoon villains. How does your Sim really start a life of villainy, trickery and polite treachery? You can use the career and deviance aspirations in the base game. If that’s all you need, ok. But, it’s mostly just being mean over and over. That gets a bit dull and it’s such a stereotype. Villains don’t have to be evil or mean, just pleasantly bad, in a good way.

Sims 4 Needs More Mean and Evil

To be honest, after playing with most of these mods and traits over a couple of weeks, I’m disappointed. Playing a villain should have been so much fun. How many times have you wished you could forget being the nice guy/ girl and say or do what you really think? I was looking for that feeling of twisted revenge against everyday aggravation. But, the criminal career, aspiration, and traits are limited in Sims 4. I didn’t know how limited until I really worked at them.

Ruby Sykes wrote The Evil Trait Guide in 2019. Since then some changes have come along, not really much compared to the love, family, and shopping stuff (for lack of a better word) in The Sims.

I think there is new potential for mod makers to develop the game for mean and evil Sims. Not just adding more to the traits. Think of all the careers for Sims… only one is Criminal. Why not revamp existing careers to include a path for Sims who are evil, mean and just plain criminally motivated. Re-image your favourite career NOT based on being good, honest, or even nice. Every career should allow for Sims who cheat, lie, steal, and take what they can get without apology or much second thought. Do you see the potential? Meanwhile, this is what we have so far…

This is Myrna Shade with her career outfit: hat, suit, and red shoes. She’s in real estate. She’s so good, sometimes the home owners didn’t even know their property was on the market before its sold.

Criminals without CC or Mods

• Base game has the klepto (kleptomaniac) trait.
• For Rent has breaking into homes, snooping, eavesdropping and blackmailing.
• Business and Hobbies has the shady trait, brings back the burglar and burglar alarm. Also, that raccoon guy in an alley.
• University lets you graduate with a Villainy degree.

Mods for Charming Con Artists, Rascals, and Other Villains

Start your Sims 4 Criminals and Villains adventure with NeedCoffee4That, you can be a charming con artist with the mods Be a Burglar and/or Pickpocketing. If you have the shady trait (Business and Hobbies) start testing out the Murder & Mayhem Collection: Angel of Death, Arsonist, DeathRay, Poisoner, or The Infected. Pick your poison, literally. This collection, still being developed and added to, is the one I will keep. I admit, the DeathRay is my personal favourite. You can directly get rid of another Sim, but without the bloodthirsty, murderous feeling.

From Kiara’s Mods is the Blackmailer trait. Kiara also has a Mischievous Trait and Accuse of Being a Gold Digger.

BosseladyTV has several to play around with:

• Black Widow Aspiration and Trait
• More Computer Mischief
• Better Evil Trait
• Better Mean Trait
• Part-Time Criminal Career (Rabbit hole)
• Child Delinquent Aspiration
• No Punching Plushies because its undignified for a real villain.

My style of being a villain is tricking people and getting away with it. Romance related badness leaves some other Sim broken hearted, that might come with regrets. I don’t want those! So, among gold diggers and black widows there should be confidence men, charlatans, and quacks selling snake oil and igloos. We need more mods like those. I hope we get them.

• snrOn – Better Blackmail Payouts
• avacadoloki – Increased Blackmail Payouts
• mOtherxOfchaOs – Gold Digger Trait
• lilyvalleycc – Part-time Criminal
• Noelle Bellefleur – Criminal Work from Home
• Rex & the Sims – Teen Criminal (An older mod, I didn’t install it).
• Isy the Snake – Absurdly Evil Trait (Also old and I did not try it).

Sacrifical Mods and Basemental’s NSFW mods are over the top for me. I just don’t see violence as all that fun. If I’m not having fun being a villain I might as well be a superhero and at least make everyone else happy. That’s just not what I want. I can be nice, kind and sweet, later. However, I do acknowledge that some players like to play The Sims 4 Criminals and Villains type of gameplay with Sacrifical’s mods. Which is why I’ve linked them at the top!

Myrna likes to play piano. She’s getting good at it. But, as great as the tips are, she makes a lot more playing in real estate with other Sim’s money.

Sims 4 Challenges for Villains

Seven Deadly Sins Legacy Challenge: Do you remember all seven without looking it up? Not me either. You can read the rules and try it as a legacy challenge with generations of Sims. Or… how many deadly sins can you pile into one Sim: greed, sloth, lust, pride, envy, gluttony and wrath. I’d consider the shortcut and make Agnes Crumplebottom playable. She’s already got most of the seven.

The Black Widow Challenge – or the Black Widower, depending on your Sim. This challenge has a variety of rules, options, difficulty levels and versions as new Sims content has come along. The original challenge was from 2014. Would a villain like your Sim be all that concerned with the rules anyway? Play it your way. The real fun is dressing up and getting away with it all.

This is the professional biker outfit from Sentate, link below. It took awhile to find the right boots with the longer skirt. It’s a good outfit for exploring crumbling old places, looking for treasure.

Now the CC Window Shopping!

For the men:

• Gold suit in 2 parts by kokoroworks.
• Three piece suits from marvinsims.
• Suits you Sir velvety suit by Warwick.
• Slim fit Suit with personality by Darte77.

For the women:

• Gold suit and mini skirt by ridgeport.
• Two piece formal wear from Rimings.
• Long fitted sweater dress from Madlen.
• Professional looking Scully suit from AdrienPastel. (New find).
• Pumps with a red sole from Sentate. (Old favourite).
• Kruella Dress from Sentate.
• Professional/ biker outfit from Sentate.
• High heel laced up combat boots from Sentate. (New find).
• Needlework Reverie – All the make up, from the 1920’s to the 70’s.

For the children… Now you know Sims children aren’t allowed to be wicked, or die.

Since getting the Death Ray, Myrna and Grim have become friends, they like the same literature. This polka dot pencil dress is the first CC file I ever downloaded, I like the green best.

The CC you can find is unlimited. What kind of villain do you want: a badass biker, a computer hacker, a crafty salesperson, a business tycoon with bad intentions, a sneaky thief, an evil spellcaster, a vampire looking for romance and a snack, or something completely off the wall? I had in mind an elegant, smooth talking, confident villainess mainly involved in real estate. My choices of CC reflect what I was looking for, of course.

Inspiration for Sims Villainy

Whatever Happened to the Unsavory Charlatan?

Before The Sims 4 there was the Alto family: Nick, Vita, and daughter Holly from Sims 3. Also, Nick’s brother, Bert Alto. They were arch enemies and rivals to the Landgraabs. Looking like a mafia family. Best of all, Vita Alto wanted to take over the world! What a great inspiration for moderate villainy! You may have noticed, Holly Alto is still in Sims 4, whatever happened to her parents and their home is unknown. Their lost story could be the start of your new storyline.

Also the original Sims pickpocket, the man many people requested be removed from the game… the Unsavory Charlatan. He’s a real snappy dresser, ladies man, and he sings too. There was a man of character, most of it bad. He hasn’t been seen since Sims 2. What’s the story there? Did he really just disappear or will his body be discovered in Agnes Crumplebottom’s flower gardens?
