The whole 'trap Sims in the pool with no way to get out' shtick is such a cliche, and it’s a real pain in the neck to actually get done. By the time anyone actually dies my Sim has had to run to the bathroom about twenty times. No, I need a good old fashioned smite button—something that can finish off any joker with a hand buzzer before he can say "sul sul."
Luckily my prayers were answered with Aaroneous’ Sim Manipulator, a mod which grants me that smite button and so much more. The mod comes with a coterie of controller objects, from a weather machine to an NPC spawner and everything in-between. If there is a thing that can happen to a Sim, chances are you can force that interaction with a controller. Make your children’s grades straight As, force everyone to be hungry, inspire new hobbies in existing Sims, make it rain figuratively or literally, and so on.
