Feeling a little wicked in The Sims 4? Well, you can always add an element of torture and torment to other Sims using a voodoo doll (The Madame Zoe Voodoo Doll) to do your evil bidding! You can use these to make another Sim’s life miserable or even hilariously kill them.
All you need to do is focus on your Mischief Skill, purchase a voodoo doll, and take control of ruining lives—either helping or harming them! Once you read this guide, you’ll know how to get and use the voodoo doll in The Sims 4 and how it can interact with other Sims.
How to Get Voodoo Doll in The Sims 4?
There are a few ways to get a Voodoo Doll in the game. The easiest way is to train your Sim’s Mischief Skill to level 3 by performing Mischief interactions with another Sim. Once you reach level 3, you can click on a computer and order a Voodoo Doll online for 950 Simoleons.
Alternatively, if you have the City Living expansion pack and the Human Hijinks Festival is on, you can buy a Voodoo Doll at the Swag Store. It’s also worth noting that if one Sim gets to level 3 Mischief and purchases a Voodoo Doll for 950 Samolians, they can transfer it to the inventory of a Sim with a lower Mischief skill level.
You can also look for Voodoo Dolls by digging rocks or fishing in Oasis Springs Desert Bloom Park, the Forgotten Grotto, or the Sylvian Glades.
Voodoo Doll for Spellcasters in The Sims 4
While playing The Sims 4: Realm of the Magic, you can bind and control spellcaster Sims to little objects (called familiars). For spellcaster Sims, you’ll need the Hex Doll, an uncommon familiar you can purchase from Caster Alley for 250 Simoleons.
How to Bind Voodoo Doll?
To bind a Sim to the voodoo doll, you’ll need to invite them to your house. You can’t just have them visit your house; they must be formally invited. Once they’re at your house, go to the voodoo doll and select the “Bind to Sim” option. Choose the Sim you want to bind, and a fun animation will play.
Note that you need to be in a relationship with that Sim and that they need to be on the same lot as you. Also, you can only bind one voodoo doll to one Sim, and if you need to bind with other Sims, you must have multiple voodoo dolls.
No matter how evil you are, you still have a heart, which is probably why Voodoo dolls can’t be used on children, and neither can they use the dolls themselves to bind someone.
The doll comes with a list of default interactions when the Sim is at Mischief level 1; however, increasing the skill level adds a few more interactions.
Summoning a Sim
If you’ve bound a Voodoo Doll to a Sim and they’re not on the current lot, you can click on it and select “Summon” to summon that Sim to the lot. They’ll come running over like it’s nobody’s business!
Voodoo Doll interactions
Once you’ve bound a Voodoo Doll to a Sim, you can perform Voodoo on them. There are seven interactions, each with a different effect on the target Sim’s mood. The interactions are:
- Summon: Summons the bound Sim to the current Active Lot
- Poke: This interaction is available starting from Level 1 Mischief Skill. The bound Sim will get Angry and receive the Pain moodlet.
- Frolic: This interaction also requires Level 1 Mischief Skill; the targeted Sim becomes Playful and gets the Joy moodlet.
- Tickle: This interaction needs Level 3 in the Mischief Skill and will put the targeted Sim in an Uncomfortable state with the Uneasy moodlet on them.
- Soak: Requires level 5 in Mischief and puts the targeted Sim in a Dazed state.
- Cuddle: This is a bonus skill only for those with Level 2 in Charisma. The targeted Sim becomes flirty.
- Toy with Death: Can be used on an unbound Voodoo Doll to resurrect a dying Sim. (Requires level 5 Mischief)
While Voodoo magic may be cool, it has its consequences, and in some cases, it can backfire on the caster.
- Successful Voodoo: The Active Sim, the one doing the magic, gets the Confident moodlet and emotion.
- Backfire Voodoo: The spell backfires, and the Active Sim gets the Uncomfortable emotion (+2 for 3 hours).
- Failed Voodoo: The spell fails, and the Active Sim gets a Sad (+2) mood for 3 hours.
How to Remove Effects of (Unbind) Voodoo Doll?
If you somehow get tired of your tyrannical reign, the Sims you have a holdover can be freed since Bind is not permanent and can be undone by choosing Unbind by clicking on the Voodoo Doll. However, this option is available only to those with Level 5 in Mischief Skill.
Sims, who are at work, cannot be unbound, so you will have to wait for them to get free since they cannot be Summoned. Those who aren’t currently in the same lot as the player’s Sim will have to be Summoned before you can Unbind them.
After you have unbound the Sims, you can sell the voodoo doll for 760 Simoleons through the Sim’s inventory or in build or buy mode. You can also gift the voodoo doll to your in-game friends.
