Any ideas in modifying strings?

Hi everyone:
I own a set of TI flats .43-.100 used and I want to make them play like overcooked spaghetti, I don't care if the sound goes worse.
Can you think anything I can do to make them "loose"?
Sorry for not explaining anything but I don't want to bore you with details and keep you from answering.
Thanks in advance!

Tune them down a few steps.

Get thinner strings.

TI Flats are only available in one strength.

Play a shorter scaled instrument?

+1 on tuning down.

I'll try the tuning down thing but I'm not sure if I'll be able to play well.
I've also tried stretching them but the change is very limited.
