== The Sims 2: Bon Voyage ==
The voodoo doll returns in ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'' as an object only obtainable while on [[vacation]].
{{object
 
The doll can be used to perform various activities, from useful things such as making friends or falling in love with another Sim, or more annoying things such as making a Sim hotter or colder. The voodoo doll must be in the selected Sim's [[inventory]] in order for it to be used. The doll may fail and backfire on the user if used too often, and can be sold in Sim-owned stores, if frequent visits are made to the [[Witch Doctor]] for new supplies.
 
If a Sim wants the doll, they can acquire one from the witch doctor after repairing all of his broken appliances. As with other repairs, success depends on the Sim's [[mechanical]] skill. The witch doctor will lie in his hammock after being greeted, forever lying there until all of the appliances are repaired. Upon successful completion, he will give the Sim the doll as a gift. However, he will cancel the interaction if the Sim is still busy and won't accept the doll. This can be inconvenient for a Sim trying to get the doll, as that Sim may need to be idle for a while before the Witch Doctor tries to give the doll again.
 
Five voodoo dolls may be collected on the souvenir shelf. If that is done, nearby Sims will be cursed into imagining they are being attacked by a bee swarm.
 
The [[Witch Doctor]] is himself immune from the voodoo doll. The doll will always fail and backfire on the user if used against him. After that, he will laugh at the user and the effects of the voodoo will be deflected onto the initiating Sim.

* Madame Zoe's Voodoo Doll could be based on Madame Zoe from ''MySims'', a fortune teller.
