Swede's got it right.  Donating to undermine charity would be to sabotage the charity or to sabotage the works of a charity.  Or to donate to a charity whose purpose is to do ill in the world, which undermines the concept of charity in general.  Look at the actual names of the evil charities in the game.  They are opposite in spirit to the good charities.

Hmm I guess I misread that, and I'm not quite sure about what they could possibly do, I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of a secret service Sims force, but I have a feeling that I've seen too many spy movies.

But the names of the charities are the same when you have a good or a bad sim. The only difference is the word undermine.

Ok, I don't have evil Sims often enough to know they are exactly the same.  But I don't understand where the confusion is coming from.

The confusion comes from the way to undermine a charity.

A few say it's about sabotage - either through paying money to an opposing party or by bribing people in a charity.
Another says it's about humiliation.
Another says it's about backstabbing.
And another says it's about bribing others to not donate.

So...

Is it just me or is the tone a little arguementative about it?  I feel like the question about what undermine means has been sufficiently answered.  Does the Original Poster feel that all this duscussion is helpful?

Personally, I think that the question has been answered very well.  Sounds like it is going in circles.
Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

Ah, it's just that the thing never made any sense to me. With this topic, I expected an unanimous answer... but since it wasn't, and it had different meanings here and there, it just made more confused and not convinced. Plus, I can't seem to apply the answers to reality... Sure, not all things in Sims are meant to be real, but language is rarely fiction in Sims.

aws_137, like Pam said, are you clear now on the meaning of "undermine" for the purposes of the game?

The answers given weren't unanimously exactly the same, but they were all in the same spirit of the idea.  There are often several ways to explain something.  To undermine a charity is to contribute in some way that works against the charity.  That's about as simple as it can be explained.  This is something clever the developers of Sims 3 thought up for their game and isn't necessarily a reflection of anything in real life, unless someone is involved in mob criminal activities or something.

Ah, I'll accept then... but deep inside I'm not satisfied.

It's like contributing funds to a terrorist organization or something like that.

It's good to do before your sim goes off to work for the fiendishly delighted moodlet.

Aws, I don't really see why you are still confused if it's about how many different ideas people have put up then all those ideas are linked - To spread Evilness in the sims world.

That, to me, is too general. I seek something specific. Anyway, it's fine. I don't have to know the meaning. I already know the general meaning. Perhaps that's enough for now.
