Evil (The Sims 3)

Evil is a lifestyle trait in The Sims 3. It conflicts with the Good trait, and is available from birth.

Evil Sims love the dark, take great delight in the misfortune of others and prefer to lead a life of as far away from goodness as possible.

Advantages and disadvantages
Evil is the recommended trait for the Criminal career and allows players to choose the Lifetime Wishes of the Criminal career (Evil or Thief). Similar to the Good trait, Evil Sims can donate money for a positive moodlet. While it does have one conflict, Evil Sims will get along with most Sims. In addition, Evil Sims can steal Candy from a Baby, Troll on the Forums and get the "Fiendishly Delighted" moodlet when misfortune strikes nearby Sims. The Evil Trait does not give the Sim "It's Dark" moodlet if in a room without light.

Despite conflicting with Good, Evil Sims can still use "Mastermind Plot" on Good Sims.

Conflicting traits
Under The Sims 3 Generations, Evil conflicts with:
 * Good

Attributes

 * Sim will get a "Fiendishly Delighted" moodlet when misfortune strikes nearby Sims!
 * Sim doesn't mind a lack of light, A dark lair is welcome!
 * Sim will excel in the criminal career track.
 * Sim will fare well in most fights.

Player notes

 * Sim will laugh when another Sim dies, but will still mourn them once they begin to miss the deceased Sim.
 * Babies can steal candy from another baby.
 * Sim can Steal candy from newborns and Toddlers.
 * Other Sims will be cautious around evil Sims once the trait is discovered, Good Sims or Sims in the Law Enforcement career track especially so.
 * Sim can donate to undermine charities once a day by clicking on the mailbox.
 * Sim can do many things with an evil twist, such as "Wash Hands with Evil Soap", or "Do Evil Dance." However, the interaction stays the same.
 * Sim can acquire a Red Glow on reaching the top of the Criminal track. The glow terrifies Cowardly Sims, disgusts Good Sims, and delights other Evil Sims.
 * Sim has a keen interest in death, as they will often have wishes to visit the graveyard, see a ghost, or see the ghost of a living Sim.
 * Evil Sims and Mean Spirited Sims tend to get along, unless the Mean Spirited has the Good Trait.
 * It is worth noting that Evil Sims are not technically evil - they just have a dark personality and simply enjoy roleplaying the concept of evil (this is the reason that toddler and child Sims can have the trait, as it is more a form of roleplay). Compared to Mean Spirited or Inappropriate Sims, Evil Sims are not generally rude in conversation, and even Good Sims can chat with them without negative effects. Evil Sims are unable to do truly evil things, such as murder other Sims (though they can wish to see the ghosts of other Sims -- which implies wishing that they were dead) or cause destruction; they can simply just cause mild mischief.
 * Due to the fact above, Evil Sims can still have traits such as Family-Oriented, Friendly or Eco-friendly.
 * Sometimes when walking into a room, an Evil Sim will rub his/her hands together and laugh maniacally.
 * If the Evil Sim has the Pyromaniac Trait they can "Burn Sim Nearby" which may set any random Sim on fire but that only rarely keeps the sim on fire for more than 5 sim minutes (5 Real life seconds).
 * Evil sim won't be scared by e.g. Ghost, Vampires or Bugs (working a bit similar to Brave trait).

Possible Lifetime Wishes

 * Become a Master Thief
 * The Emperor of Evil
 * Gold Digger
