How to unlock the Epic Fail achievement in The Sims 3 - Definitive Guide

Found a faster way to do this. Firstly start a new game I called it "Epic Fail", I think any household is fine but I used the Landgraabs.

They automatically start with 75 Karma points. Once it loads up travel to the park or any public place. Use the power 3 times on 3 different Sims. Quit - Yes, Save.. And save over the original "Epic Fail" save.

Now back at the main menu, create a new game, call it anything this time for example "Save1" and do exactly the same, Landgraabs, Park, and use 3 times. If the same Sims are there from before its ok and will still count towards the Challenge and Achievement. This time Quit and Save but then Save over your first file "Epic Fail". and back at menu.
After doing this 5 times the achievement will pop, it only took me 15mins.
Read on if you want to make sure the Challenge transfers to Main save.


At the end you should have something like
Epic Fail
Save1
Save2
Save3
Save4
Save5
Now go ahead and delete the numbered saves. But before deleting "Epic Fail" Save, Load up your Main game and just save and quit, this ensures the Challenge registers on that game. Once you've done that your free to delete "Epic Fail" save as well.

Hope this helps, good alternative to wasting valuable Karma points on your main game.
Happy Simming

Doesn't need to be different Sims, I used Epic Fail on one sim multiple times.

What I did was I was grinding 1,000 wishes with the 6 clones method. Each timeI satisfied 24 needs, I earned 100 karma points. I'd then use Epic Fail on the one or two random sims nearby the household, quit, save into another slot. I then reload the first save, satisfied the 24 needs, earned the karma points, and used Epic Fail again on the one or two. Since I had to reload multiple times to get 1,000 wishes, I got this achievement out of the way during the process as well.

Complete wishes and challenges to get your Karma points up. You can randomly pick 13 people to use the Epic Fail Karma on. You hit the back button, go to the Karma section, pick Epic Fail and pick a Sim to use it on. Do this 13 times and you have your achievement.

Does it have to be 13 different sims?

More than likely. The Epic Fail Karma lasts a few hours on one Sim. So whenever you have Karma points and see a Sim walking by, just hit them with it.

Simple Just use your karma Power " Epic Fail" which cost 25 karma points each on a sim that is not in your household. Best place to do this achievement are at local Parks where people gather.

Never do this at your own house. I had one person that I used it on, they broke every electrical object in my house and also all of the plumbing. Its 'handy' if you want to get the handiness level up. :)

Best and quickest way to do this. Save up to a 100 karma points. Go to any public area, lets say the park. Save your original game. Now, select the Epic Fail karma power and select any sim (not in your household of course!) and bam! Sim number one is epic failing. Rinse and repeat this on 3 more sims to get a total of 4 in one go. Now, save and quit under a DIFFERENT slot. Load up your previous save with the 100 karma points. Once selecting the sims again and letting them epic fail, overwrite the second save (again and again) to count the use of this power on the sims. Do this 4 times in total to net your achievement :-)

To use the Epic Fail power you will need to push and go over to the Karma menu. From there select the Epic Fail power and then select the sim you want to use it on. The power costs 25 Karma points.

Now that you know how to use it head over to central park, throw a party or go anywhere that has a lot of people in the area. Use the power on 13 different sims and you'll complete the challenge "Epic Fail" and you'll unlock the trophy. You can check your progress by going to the challenges menu and looking at the challenge "Epic Fail."

"Epic Fail" karma power costs 25 karma points to use, but you will need to use it thirteen separate times, which is 325 karma points in all. You have to use this against other Sims not in your family. You can keep using it on the same Sim and it will still count. Every time you have a spare 25 karma points just find any Sim not in your family and use this power on them.
