Mischief & Mayhem

A challenge for those looking to explore the more nefarious elements of game play in the sims.
The rules are simple:
1. Create a sim teen or older
2. Your sim must have either the mean, evil, or kleptomaniac trait
3. Your sim must complete one deviance aspiration - Chief of Mischief, Villainous Valentine, or Public Enemy
Even those rules are flexible though - I wanted to make this as friendly as possible for simmers with any packs, so if there are traits or aspirations that are pack specific but explore a more negative element of gameplay, feel free to explore those as well. You may add any other sims or pets to your household as well, as long as your main focus is your delinquent sim. Any lifespan is acceptable as well, as is starting season and length, and what world you want your sim to live in. Any occult sim is fine as well. Also as long as you're not cheating aspiration milestones or skills that aid in completing the aspirations, I'm always fine with cheating needs, skills, money, etc. in order to make your gameplay fun for you!

Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Age: Young Adult
Traits: Creative, Perfectionist, Art Lover, Dastardly, Mean, Kleptomaniac
Aspiration: Chief of Mischief
I started the Super Rich Supervillain scenario with her as well so I'll be switching her career to the Secret Agent career. She decided she didn't like having a roommate, so she's kicked Maaike out. The house really does need some upgrades though so it's her goal to make money by any means she can, while still trying to paint the perfect painting. Will she be satisfied with the money she makes, or will she wind up becoming a villain? I guess we shall see.
I'll wait to start in January as well.
I am going to start with an aged-down version of Father Winter, Clement Frost. His traits will be replaced with opposite traits. So, instead of good, he will be evil, childish will become hates children and cheerful will become gloomy. Friend of the World Aspiration will be replaced with Chief of Mischief. Will start in January.
Seems like the consensus is that everyone would like to start in January. Of course feel free to post whenever you feel inspired to play, but I think I'll wait until January as well and tie up some other loose ends with other game play until the new year
Yeah, teenaged Chloe has developed some new, disturbing appetites. She lives in Copperdale with her freegan, artist Mum Zuri and now Zuri's recent fiancé Victor Chavez. Neither adult knows Chloe is sneaking out at night to bite unsuspecting Sims hanging around the pier after dark.
I decided to go with Max Hampton from my Follow the Whim Legacy (see signature banner). He's the older brother of Hannah (gen 4 heir).
Since I've played him through his entire childhood, I came up with the following childhood story, where it all began:
Introduction:
Max was born in a warm home with loving parents… One of them (aka the father) is Erratic, but that’s okay.
He wanted to be independent very quickly.
But well, that’s pretty hard as a toddler.
Life was good with just the three of them.
But then Hannah came.
Unlike Max, she was a messy one and needed loads of attention.
From then on, Max became a bit… Difficult.
He developed the Hot-Headed trait and really had no patience for anything, as you can see. That mostly made him even more annoyed.
Eventually he came to terms with having a little sister. He just focussed on school, very hard, so his parents would be proud.
All went well for a while, until his dad dropped the bomb that a third sibling was on the way...
That, and the sudden passing away of his favourite grandma right before teenage-hood, made everything he worked for crumble down like it was nothing.
From that moment, Max just wasn't the same anymore. Not interested in anything...
Always angry and moody...
And to make it worse, he just barely survived a fire he started in the kitchen. (on purpose or not? I guess we'll never know)
Any attempts from his little sister to connect were immediately shut down. He just wanted to be left alone.
He quite literally just wanted to disappear.
One day, his father approached him, and he just broke down. His father tried comforting him in his very special, erratic way. He told him that he should stand up for himself, and for some reason, that one encounter with his father, changed Max once again.
As soon as he got the chance, he applied for university and left everything behind as he got the news that he was accepted. Off to a new chapter in life, with the traits Hot-Headed, Mean and Snob in his pocket.

~ CLEMENT FROST BACKGROUND STORY ~
He didn't recognize the figure at first, and did not want to come to any conclusions on what type of sim this was. But Father Winter got a vibe from this sim, and knew that this sim was on the Naughty List...the very, very, very, extremely bad Naughty List, and had been there for several years. In fact, Father Winter recalled giving this sim several lumps of coal in their stocking last year. Father Winter was not sure how this sim had found his way here, but something didn't feel right.
The sim pointed at him, "You!" he said vehemently,"You think you are something don't you? Bribing kids to be good so they can get presents?"
Father Winter: "Um, no...that's not how it works. I encourage children to be good so that they can feel good about themselves. To become a benevolent sim in the Simworld."
The sim laughed, "Is that so? Well, what if I told you that when I was a kid, I was good all year long, and I didn't get nothin' for Winterfest? How do you explain that?"
Father Winter: "Ted....your name is Ted, isn't it? But, surely, Ted, if you were good, you would have received something..."
Ted eyed him, "You calling me a liar? You are the one who is the liar here. All that year I was good, helping others, being polite, and what did it get me? Nothing! So after that I changed, I didn't care about being good anymore. Being bad was where it was at. And let's just say that I was really good at being bad..."
Father Winter: "Well, there is always time to change you know. You don't have to be bad if you don't want to...."
Ted looked at Father Winter and smirked, "Is that right? So, if say, you were bad...you could just change...just like that?" he replied snapping his fingers.
Father Winter squinted at Ted "Of course! I am essentially a good sim. I could resist it."
Ted eyed him."But what if you weren't good anymore? What if you were bad? I've read about you, and it seems that you started your toymaking career as a young adult. Your parents had died and you got quite an inheritance. THAT'S WHEN IT STARTED, AND THAT'S WHEN IT HAS TO CHANGE. Maybe if you were bad, I wouldn't be getting this coal in my stocking every year, but instead, I would be getting some great presents. Right?"
Father Winter, "Well, I..."
But before Father Winter could utter another word, Ted came closer and held up his cell and said that Father Winter might be interested in seeing something. Ted then showed Father Winter a live stream. It was of Mrs. Winter behind bars looking strangely at the camera. She seemed to have been drugged.
Father Winter looked shocked: "What is the meaning of this? What have you done to her? Let her go!"
Ted looked at Father Winter and sighed, "Yeah, that ain't happening anytime soon. You see, you've got a certain skillset that we need and we just have to adjust your thinking a bit."
Father Winter: "What do you mean?"
Ted "Well, it seems you have access to everyone's house and can just break and enter anytime you want. And no-one even stops you..."
Father Winter: "I am not breaking and entering. I am delivering gifts..."
Ted: "Oh sure...if that was the case, you'd use the front door. But the chimney? Sounds rather suspicious to me. Anyway, leaving those gifts...that's gonna end. Taking gifts is a better idea and you just need the right mindset to do it.
You see, my partner and I stumbled across a potion. A potion made from a very powerful fruit, which will allow you to travel back in time. A sort of youth potion if you will, with a bit of a kick. To kind of start your life over as a young adult. The only thing is when you drink it, all your traits will be changed...and you won't remember anything about your former self."
Father Winter: "And how does this involve me?"
Ted "Well, let's just say that this is part of our recruitment process, and you've been chosen. Your name is well-known around the Simworld and it would be good to have someone like you as part of our um...organization. I mean you're pretty savvy at surveillance systems and can see sims when they are sleeping, when they are awake, and you know if they are good or bad. We could use all those bad sims to grow our organization. But the good ones will also be useful and will need to be um...converted. In fact, we will need everyone in the Simworld to be um...altered..to our way of thinking..."
Father Winter: "And if I refuse?"
Ted: "Oh I wouldn't refuse if I was you because you really wouldn't want anything to happen to the missus, would you?"
Father Winter looked at Ted and thought of Mrs. Winter, "It seems I have no choice. Fine, I'll do it. Just don't harm her..."
Ted: "I knew you would see it my way. Now drink this...we don't have much time...do it and your missus will be released..." he said looking at the clock and shoving the potion towards Father Winter.
Father Winter took a deep breath and reluctantly drank the concoction.
Ted nodded his head, "At the stroke of midnight, you will revert to your young self, only this time, your good trait will be replaced with the evil trait, your childish trait will be replaced with the hates children trait, and your cheerful trait will be replaced with a gloomy version of yourself. And being a friend to all? Oh no...you are going to be a very mischievous sim from now on."
Father Winter: "I don't know why you are doing this, but I am Father Winter. I am good...and good will prevail over evil..."
Suddenly the clock struck midnight. It was Winterfest, and Father Winter magically turned into his younger self, no longer the good Father Winter that we all knew.
"And laying his finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney Father Winter rose and vanished".
Ted then smiled, but had a strange expression on his face and suddenly started speaking in a strange language.

NOTES:
Ted Roswell is a premade sim who is the Mayor of Strangerville. He is an evil sim and has been possessed by the alien Mother Plant. The Mother Plant is evil and intent on brainwashing all sims to convert them to be her minions and do her bidding. Simworld domination is her goal,

Skeilah - I love how you used your current legacy to do a spin off story. SoulGal7 - I love how you’ve incorporated premades and lore to set up your story!
I’ll update my first post with everyone’s sims - sorry I forgot to do that today!
I have a question to OP , @permanentrose ,
I hope making good and complex storyline is not mandatory in this challenge? If it is, I unfortunately have to withdraw before I start
I will follow everyone's stories, of course
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Same. I have two other stories as well.
