How to unlock the Black Widow achievement in The Sims 4 - Definitive Guide
I created a household with 6 sims, had all their traits the same or similar(romance and outgoing).
I had a female and 5 males, all males were elders, put relationship status as wife to one of the males. Moved in to a home, had the husband and wife woohoo until he died. Became friends with next victim while mourning, when able to married, then woohoo'd to death. Repeated until all were dead. I did turn aging off.
Not sure if this matters or not, but had all extra sims working, made them quit their jobs when it was their turn. Made it easier to concentrate on the relationship I was trying to work on.
Gender shouldn't matter but I had a young female sim romance a senior male sim. Get him to fall in love with her so use so any related perks (Great Kisser, Beguile, etc)and moodlets to help. Keep at it until you can propose and then elope to instantly get married. As soon as you are married, move both spouses into a house together and have the senior sim work out or whatever to reduce his energy. When it's low, spam 'Woo-hoo' (this is to make sure the older sim doesn't go to sleep) with the younger sim and the senior will die from overexertion. Yup, you are literally fucking them to death. Repeat this process 4 more times with the same character and the achievement is yours.
It shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. If you are having trouble finding or romancing seniors for any reason, you can marry an adult or young adult sim and then age them to senior with a birthday cake.
While I was chasing the Rosebud achievement ($1000000 Simoleons), my Sim was systematically killing off families with married couples.
During the third household, one spouse died and the achievement popped, having killed two previous couples.
So you don't even need to marry 5 people to get this! Yay!
To get married, you will first need to build up your friendship and romance bar enough with another Sim so that you can ask them to become your boyfriend/girlfriend. Once you’re together, you’ll want to continue to boost up your romance. Whenever the option to “Woohoo” comes up go for it, as this will increase the romance bar a fair amount compared to the other flirty options. When romance is moderately high, you’ll soon have the option to “Propose”. Bare in mind, just because this option becomes available it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll accept your proposal, you may be rejected and left embarrassed if you rush in prematurely. Though it doesn’t need to be as high, having your green friendship bar at around a third full should be enough to spare any blushes. Once you’ve become engaged you’ll want to select “Elope Immediately with (Sim Name)” straight after as it’s quicker than planning a wedding. Once married you’ll have a “Moving In Together!” message pop up, have your spouse move in with you.
Now that you’re married and living together, you’ll want to kill off your spouse. You can do this quite easily by switching to “Build Mode” and essentially trapping them in an empty room by building walls around them without placing a door. As they won’t be able to access anything they’ll eventually starve to death, this takes around 2-3 days to happen. In the time that your current spouse is trapped, you’ll want to start buttering up another Sim with friendship and romance so that they are well prepared for after your current spouse dies. When your spouse dies, you’ll have a timed 2-day Sad moodlet that will hinder your ability to undertake tasks properly, so it will be slightly more difficult to build up good relationships within this period. You can choose to “Cry It Out” in bed and it will decrease the widow debuff by an hour each time.
You will want to replicate this horrid routine 4 more times on 4 more unsuspecting Sims. You can keep the urns after each one dies as a reminder as to how many you’ve killed, however if you do this be sure to keep them in a room which cannot be accessed. Uncontrolled Sims have a habit of finding these urns if left around and becoming sad when looking at them. The trophy will pop after your 5th spouse dies.
The easiest way to unlock this trophy is to create a new household with five elders of the same sex and one younger Sim of the opposite sex (5 elder males, 1 younger female for example). Send four of the elders off to work so that they are not in the way, and then keep romancing the one elder and younger Sim until they fall in love, keep going until you can propose and then elope to get married instantly.
Get the elder to work out until they are exhausted, and then you can keep woo-hooing until the elder dies of exhaustion. Once they have died, quit jobs with one of the other elders and rinse and repeat until you have managed to go through all five elders.
Download the family "Black Widow" and "The Circle of Life 2" from the gallery. You start the game as "Black Widow", wait for 4 pale and fat guys to die. That is until their bodies end up in trash cans. Go to edit cities, click on the family and select “edit family” in the menu next to the start button. In the editor, select "Add Character" and select the headstock "The Circle of Life 2". Afterwards, select a woman in a pink Panama hat, click on this sim crystal next to the choice of first/last name, there you can establish family relationships. In the pop-up menu opposite the new grandmother, select “spouse”. We start playing, the new grandmother dies (for me she died twice in less than 24 hours), you wait for Grim to turn her body into an urn and the trophy is yours.
