    in The Sims 3 General Discussion
    I'm trying to make an electric ghost, I have the technophobe sim to break the stereos, but I am having all 3 of my sims constantly reuse the sinks to break them, but they haven't been breaking and they are the cheap sinks, I need the puddles of water so that my sim can fix the stereo in it and die of electrocution, anyone know how to break sinks n stuff faster?

      I guess you could just queue up a bunch of actions to use the object, and just cancel them off as the sim starts to perform them. Other than that, i'm not sure.

      Isn't there traits that give a higher percentage of breaking things...like unlucky and clumsy?

      DarciHyde, the quicker way is to buy a sprinkler, place it on the lawn. Then place an electrical item inside the area the sprinkler waters and then have the sim try and upgrade it. If they have a low handiness skill i beleive you should get the result you are looking for.

      I think it helps if you have them mess around with the more expensive electrical items too.

      If you want a leaky sink, just buy the cheapest one and make sure your Sims are in a bad mood when they use it. My sinks are always broken in my game...because they live in a 1-room shack and just gave birth to twins.

      Something that also works is if you make your sim "pee-theselves". They will leave a puddle and you place the broken electrical device beside it and make them repair it!

      Buy the cheapest dishwasher. It breaks all the time and always leaves a puddle. Have an inexperienced sim fix it. He will get singed. Don't have him shower but go immediately back to fixing the dishwasher. Zappo! Meet your electric ghost.

      Not that I've done that or anything....I'm just speculating that that could be an easy way to do it if say, Grandpa was getting on your nerves.

      Purely speculative. All theoretical, you know. Scholarly assumption. :lol::mrgreen:
