Public Enemy Aspiration Guide

For Sims who thrive on chaos, cruelty, and a criminal career path!


What Is the Public Enemy Aspiration?

This aspiration is all about being the worst version of your Sim self — mean, mischievous, and deeply disliked. It ties directly into the Mischief skill and the Criminal career, making it a great choice for Sims who enjoy wreaking havoc in their neighbourhood.

Aspiration Reward Trait: Mastermind

Masterminds know exactly what to say to provoke anger, jealousy, or sadness in others. They gain new social interactions like:

  • Subtly Debase
  • Plant Seeds of Doubt
  • Tell a Vicious Rumour
    These are powerful tools in your villainous arsenal
