๐ The story
Charming, beautiful, and absolutely lethal to anyone who says "I do." Your Sim marries for money, mourns for a moment, and moves straight on to the next wealthy suitor โ leaving a tidy little graveyard of well-funded ex-spouses behind the manor.
๐ The goal
Marry and outlive **ten spouses**, inheriting each fortune, never working a day.

๐ก Setup
๐ Getting started
- Create a young-adult Black Widow with the traits **Snob, Romantic, Materialistic** (many versions add **Jealous**) and the **Serial Romantic** aspiration. Set lifespan to normal and turn **aging off for every Sim except the Black Widow**. Move into a cheap starter home.
- Create the Black Widow; set aging off for all other Sims in game options.
โจ๏ธ Cheats to type
testingcheats true๐ General rules
- **No job, ever** โ all money comes from spouses. You may earn from selling collectibles, fishing or woodworking *only* before your first marriage or between spouses.
- **No money cheats.**
- **No repairs** โ when something breaks, you must *replace* it with Simoleons (a widow doesn't do hard labour).
โจ Specific rules
- **Only marry single Sims.** To marry an already-partnered Sim, delete their other household members first (so their funds transfer to you).
- After each marriage, host a **Dinner Party** and earn at least a **silver** rating โ proof you're the "perfect spouse."
- Take a new love interest and **get caught cheating** by your spouse (it's the motive). You may juggle many love interests at once (and it speeds Serial Romantic).
- Then end the marriage โ the Black Widow must **witness** each spouse's death โ and keep the urn/tombstone, labelled **"Killed by the Black Widow."**
- The home must **grow in size and value** with each new spouse. Letting a spouse die of natural causes is a failure of the role (and costs satisfaction).
- Outlive **ten** spouses.
โ What you can do
- Marry single Sims and host a silver-rated (or better) dinner party for each marriage.
- Let the home grow in value with every spouse; keep aging on for the widow, off for the spouses.
- Use `bb.moveobjects`.
โ What you can't do
- No job and no money cheats โ every Simoleon comes from spouses' inheritances.
- No repairing broken objects โ replace them with new ones, draining the inherited fortune.
- Only ever marry single Sims.

๐ฎ If you don't own the packs
Fully base-game. The original adds Legendary scoring (all ten spouses before the widow becomes an Elder) and Specialist bonuses for trickier spouse traits.
๐ก Strategy tips
- Build **Cooking** and **Charisma** early โ they're what get your dinner parties to silver and your suitors to the altar.
- Target wealthy or employed Sims; a spouse who already has a job keeps earning for you after they move in.
- Keep a graveyard out back with labelled tombstones โ it's both the scoreboard and the storytelling centrepiece.
