Enemy townies are an inevitable part of The Sims 4. Some characters just don’t get along due to their traits, reputation, clubs, or fears. But, this can be good for both storytelling and gameplay. In particular, the Criminal career aims to make Sims directly hate each other through the use of mean and mischievous interactions. In those cases, you might want to seek out specific townies that are easy to turn into loathsome foes.

More enemy dynamics can occur with certain TS4 expansions and game packs. TS4: Growing Together has full workplace rivalries. While you could play nice and get to know your co-workers, it is equally possible to sabotage them and turn them into a sworn enemy. Meanwhile, in TS4: Discover University the neighboring colleges of Foxbury Institute and University of Britechester are pitted against each other. If you are attending either school, you may want to denounce or fight the other students.

10 Clara Bjergsen - The Broken Club Leader Of Windenburg

Don’t Do What She Does Or Else

Clara herself is actually quite a pleasant Sim, having the Family Orientated, Domestic, Perfectionist, and Foodie traits. She becomes irate due to an oversight by EA when making the clubs feature in TS4: Get Together. To show her love of food, Clara runs the “Upper Crusts” club. She invites all to her luxurious home of The Lighthouse in Windenburg to make and enjoy food. The problem is that cooking in someone else’s residence is considered rude.

This creates a never-ending cycle where Clara hates all of her club and potential friends. She will first ask you to stop cooking, then kick you out of her home, and maybe stop speaking to your Sim altogether. If you do wind up snatching control of the Upper Crusts from Clara, consider editing the club activities or venue to make more logical sense.

9 Ukupanipo Hekekia - Food Stealing Mermaid of Sulani

He’s Inviting Himself To Your Next Barbecue

Ukupanipo probably doesn’t mean any harm, but his actions are completely controlled by his Glutton, Self-Assured, and High Metabolism traits. This means he is constantly eating and thinking highly of himself when doing so. If you cook or order food on a public lot in TS4, then the dish is probably going to disappear as Ukupanipo gobbles it up.

Your worst enemy will be constantly in your home, wasting money, and devouring any leftovers.

Thankfully, if he is an enemy of the whole family, he won’t invade your home. What can get complicated is if one Sim hates Ukupanipo, but another person is friends with him. Then your worst enemy will be constantly in your home, wasting money, and devouring any leftovers.

8 Shigeru Nishidake - Mt. Komorebi’s Stick In The Mud

This City Needs To Be Stagnant

Shigeru is causing drama across Mt. Komorebi with his rivalry with the Ito family. He is extremely upset with the idea of the world advancing with more technology and attracting tourists. Shigeru wants fewer rentals and random visitors skiing on the mountain. However, he might be unaware that his own granddaughter Kaori is about to have a tryst with the Ito heir, Kiyoshi.

If you aren’t pursuing the more linear aspects of Mt Komorebi, you can dodge the old timer Nishidake and all the controversy. But, also owning TS4: Highschool Years will place Kaori and Kiyoshi among the students at Copperdale High. Unless you avoid conversing with them, you might unwittingly be privy to Shigeru’s ire.

7 Don Lothario - The Wife Stealer Of Oasis Springs

A Little Too Eager To Woohoo

Don really only cares about romancing and flirting with ladies in TS4. If your Sim is a woman he might be advancing far too hard to be datable, and if they are a man, they might just be invisible to Don. Worst off, his conquests might wind up ruining existing relationships or interrupting your planned storyline.

This can become even more chaotic if you have TS4: Lovestruck installed. The turn-ons and turn-offs amplify the attraction between Sims. Based on circumstances, some Sims might be eagerly jumping in bed with Don, while others will be repulsed at the first interaction.

6 Mei Prescott - Principal Of Copperdale High

Detention, Suspension, & Expulsion

Mei runs the highschool with an iron fist. This is further empowered by her Gloomy and Perfectionist traits, where she will aim for Copperdale High to be the best it can. If you have a straight A grade teen student, then there shouldn’t be an issue. But, as your homework falls behind and classes are missed, Mei will become more demanding and hostile in TS4.

This isn’t just limited to the younger Sims. If you’re also playing a parent Sim and your child is failing, then Mei Prescott might even be on your hit list. Funnily enough, this can even affect the Prescott family themselves, as it is possible for daughters Molly and Amy to disappoint their mother Mei.

5 Erwin Piers - Frenzied StrangerVille Curio Seller

Enemies Everywhere, Go Go Go

StrangerVille can be a dangerous place due to the presence of an alien Mother Plant. But, fully solving the mystery of how and why can make it worth living in the world. Erwin Piers runs the local curio shop, which can have some clues to completing the case. However, he also sells the alien fruit, making it possible for the infection to spread to other locations in your TS4 save.

If you disbelieve Erwin’s rantings, he may soon become uncontrollable. This is mostly due to hid Erratic and Paranoid traits, which can cause any social interaction to become unstable. Erwin is also already being tracked by the military, who have slipped a tracker onto his right shoulder. You don’t want any association with him.

4 Olive Specter - A Possible Murderer Living In Ravenwood

The Bodies Might Still Be Warm

Death seems to follow Olive wherever she goes. This is literal, as she might have a romantic history with the Grim Reaper. However, her real suitor only comes around to pick up dead bodies or recently killed Sims. To facilitate this, Olive marries unsuspecting single Sims and conveniently makes sure they have a tragic “accident”.

Her latest victim is Layne Coffin, a well-off musician who may be interested in love. You might either want to save the unwitting gentlemen or simply expose Olive directly. The most important thing is to not be tricked by her demure nature and have your Sim killed before their prime.

3 Max Villareal - Heir To Windenburg’s Crime Empire

A Truly Evil Child Sim Who Just Gets Worse

Max is the youngest kid of crime boss Jacques Villareal in TS4. His own father is the town scumbag, going as far as potentially killing his late wife. The only redeeming portion is that he is very old and will croak soon. The two older siblings, Luna and Huge, are fairly normal. But, Max has unfortunately gained the Evil trait, Rambunctious Scamp aspiration, and is very close to failing grade school. He will be the bane of all other child Sims.

Things get worse as you play more generations of a single save. That seed of evil will only corrupt Max further, leading to nasty teen and adult. If he does wind up with kids, hopefully the traits of his spouse will rub off on their descendants.

2 Brytani Cho - Nosey Comedian In Del Sol Valley

You Are Next To Be Roasted

Brytani Cho is TS4: Get Famous’ very own insult comic. She is prone to using mischief due to her Goofball and Outgoing traits. Worse, she is a four-star celebrity with a bad reputation. This means everyone knows Brytani is in trouble, but the paparazzi can’t help but follow her everywhere. If you are her enemy, that also means the cameras will be on you as well.

Get Famous originally released on November 16, 2018, for PC and Mac.

But, the celebrity system can be hard to penetrate at all. Unless you are trying to gain fame, you might just be too small for Brytani to acknowledge your existence. But, as soon as you’ve made some headway in Del Sol Valley, expect her to start trash talking.

1 Nancy Landgraab - The “Queen” Of Oasis Springs

How Dare You Breathe Her Air, Peasant

Nancy is the original queen bee of The Sims 4. She has the Materialistic, Snob, Ambitious, and Business Savvy traits. She only cares about wealth, and is currently acquiring via the criminal career.

Having a bigger house is her goal, even if it means the misery of her family or everyone else in Oasis Springs. As one of the base game families in The Sims 4, Nancy is likely to show up in other worlds as a random pedestrian Sim. This means her aura will be felt and most public lots, including gyms, lounges, parks, and any other popular venue.
