10 Secret Video Game Mechanics That Let You Mess With NPCs
6. Voodoo Doll - The Sims 2
The Voodoo Doll is a staple of the Sims series. It allows the player to mess with other Sims in the game and even cause huge changes in their lives by making them fall in love or break up with their partner.
The doll is readily available in most Sims games, except Sims 2, where it's tied to a secret event that not every player can stumble upon.
If you have the Bon Voyage expansion installed, you can discover a hidden lot in the tropical vacation spot by coming into possession of a special treasure map.
Once you visit the lot, you will encounter a witch doctor, who will ask you to repair the appliances in his hut in exchange for a voodoo doll.
The witch doctor's gift will allow you to tap into any Sims' life and cause mayhem by making them uncomfortable, making them wet themselves, or making them throw up.
Also, if you manage to get five dolls through consecutive visits to the witch doctor's hut, putting them all on a souvenir shelf will make all of your visitors go insane, as staring at the dolls will make them think they're being attacked by bees.
Only in the Sims.
