Sacrificial is undoubtedly the king of Sims
murder with mods like Extreme Violence, Sim
Torments and Life Tragedies. These mods
give you access to creative ways to end
your Sims lives whenever they displease
“The Watcher” and as this Watcher loves
Spooky season more than Winterfest, I went
looking for something more Halloween to
add to my game and found the one and
only Jason Voorhees in Life Tragedies. It’s
been a lot of fun watching him slash and
choke his way through The Sims 4
population. First thing’s first, who is Jason
Voorhees?
“Friday the 13th
is an American
horror
franchise that
comprises
twelve slasher
films, a
television
series, novels,
comic books,
video games,
and tie-in
merchandise.
The franchise
mainly focuses
on the fictional
character
Jason Voorhees, who was thought to have
drowned as a boy at Camp Crystal Lake due
to the negligence of the camp staff.
Decades later, the lake is rumoured to be
"cursed" and is
the setting for a
series of mass
murders. Jason is
featured in all of
the films, as
either the killer
or the motivation
for the killings.” -

Halloween
franchise.
Now that we have that all sorted out, let’s
take a look at the mod. Before activating
the mod it’s best to familiarise yourself
with everything the mod adds to your
game so you can turn off anything you
don’t like. These tragedies occur
autonomously unless you disable that
feature too so be careful. Some things
the mod adds are fatal illness, armed
robbers, car accidents and of course,
serial killers. I find bullies, armed robbers
and serial killers very annoying in my
everyday play and disable them
immediately but they are great for
storytelling purposes so give them a try in
one of your not so special saves.
I decided the best way to kick off Spooky
Season would be to murder a bunch of
teenagers at a remote camping site. My
cast included all the horror movie
stereotypes. The airhead hot blond and
her jock boyfriend, the nerdy girl, the
hippy chick, the edgy street-smart girl,
the preppy dude, the weird yet hot new
transfer from another school.
With everything packed, these seven
teens set of for Camp Gem Lake as
counsellors for the young scout troops
that will be staying there for the summer.
Little do they know that the camp is
