R.I.P Sims, or your stories about their deaths.

R.I.P Sims, or your stories about their deaths.

i'm terribly sorry if there's allready a similar thread, but my Sim just died the first time, (my favorite), and i'm a little sad.
My story - The whole family were happily sitting and watching TV and Helen, the teenage girl, was writing her homework. Doomed one was taking out trash, when he thougt it would be nice to watch the night sky. I left him a while to do something inside the house, when i come back to see him thinking about a teddybear (it the little cloud above his head), when suddently.... WOOSH! A satellite (?!) is in his place. Something like an alian comes and writes in a book or something, and while i ordered the family to go to the place, he was gone.
I'm like ***, what did just happen? Was he Grim Reaper? Where was his scythe?

Does this thing happen when you stargaze the first time? Sorry, i'm a little new to the game (got it just yesterday lol)

 

LOL That's funny. That was Grimmy all right. If you have one nearby you can have a loved one plead with Grimmy to leave the dear-departed behind. Sometimes you get lucky and Grimmy departs on his own.

The satellite death occurs when a sim is cloud-watching (star-gazing at night) you're lucky. I've been playing since it came out and still haven't had a satellite drop out the sky.

 

:rotfl: Sorry but the way that was said, I couldn't help myself.

Sorry for your sim. Welcome to the land of the sims.
I'm crying with laughter. May he rest in peace.
On a serious note I do get sad when a sim dies.

regards moon

 

Well, if you look at it in that way, death by satelitte was quite.... fascinating.
*tries to imagine his face exspression*
A question to pro Simmers - are there other wierd deaths in the game?

 

You betcha! Your sims can get struck by lightning (Seasons & OFB), they can get killed by flies (you gotta have a really messy house for this to happen but it's a site to be seen! Rather bizarre actually ), sickness, huger, drowning... Your sims can die of anything, any time so watch out! Just joking.

Congrats on your first satellite death, BTW - that one is priceless! Your favourite sim died a cool death. :biggrin:

*LOL* Moony, you can tell me that again. I remember that nice thread you started about your Grandpa sim dying. Man, I had a lot of laughs reading some of the posts in that thread.

 

Ah the weird deaths are more numerous than the natural sort. The weirdest is "death by flies" ... but your sim has to be truly and seriously untidy/messy for this to happen. Meanwhile with Seasons there's death by spontaneous combustion caused by getting too hot, with University there's a "cow plant" that swallows unwary passers-by ... whole! Or get Nightlife, become a vampire and go out in the midday sun for a bit of that olde fashioned turn to duste routine. :rotfl:

 

*LOL* I forgot about the cow plant. First time I saw that cake I thought it was just hungry or something. Next thing I knew old Sally Montgommary game to join in the party and *slurp* she was eaten by the cow plant! :biting::ducks:

Here's a question for you: when a vamp dies, does the ghost take the vampire form or the sim form? :winks:

 

Man, I'm jealous, I've put in endless hours stargazing and never a satellite to be found. I have had two sims die from catching on fire IN THE HOT TUB. And an entire asylum family died from a house fire. They are quite silly about fires.

Don't forget the heartbreaking spontaneous-death-without-cause- when-pregnant, which seems to afflict certain sims and not others.

 

Ugh! I hate the Seasons Spontaneous Combustion by Hot Tub Death! I have a problem with my game not producing very many male children. So, to have one of these precious male heirs die in a hot tub after Woo Hooing was very sad. I was very angry, to say the least!

 

I just had my favorite sim die from pregnancy. She starved to death. Didn't catch the reaper in time. So I quit without saving and re loaded, then stuffed her face with 3 glasses of eggplant juice, and to my luck the same day she had a tanned boy. Her husband was black, So I'm stoked. Too many girls in family.
Man Eggplant juice would kill me.

 

Nope, just the regular kind. I have a vampire ghost who used to be a college student. He's actually a fairly benign ghost.

I had a visitor turned into a ghost by the cow plant. My sim then drank him, so he couldn't come back. That was one angry ghost.

If someone dies and I don't wish it I exit without saving. I almost lost a vampire due to pizza delivery, once. Stupid delivery person went all the way around to the back door.

If your sim is in the gold or platinum it's harder for them to die accidentally. Two of my favorite sims were struck by lightning and lived. I now put lightning rods on the top of every house. Haven't had the death by combustion yet but a couple of my sims have been in danger of consumption (death by sickness caused by getting too cold. Curse them and their snowman fixations!).

I had almost all my asylum sims die by fire too! Another one died the next day from needs depletion. The last one I refreshed using the insiminator and allowed her to remodel. I figured she'd earned it. I don't play her much but she's trying to get Joe Carr to marry her.

 

Ha, I thought my hot tub fire deaths were some sort of electrical glitch, like sticking a fork in the outlet. It was overheating, now I get it! There's also the deadly charcoal grill, don't forget. I think there is the occasional spontaneous death just built into the game, too; I've had a few healthy young people die for no apparent reason.

I've beaten the reaper a couple of times, too! Man, that feels good.

 

I had killed one group of sims accidentally with fire. You see, I was showing the game off to one of my friends,and made a new family. I moved them into one of the TS2 starter lots, then had them make a late breakfast. I only bothered to buy them a sofa, a table and chairs and a few beds, but forgot to give them a smoke alarm, a sprinkler, or a phone. So I let the guy make toaster pastries, he of course got distracted by one of the girls wanting him to play kicky bag that he forgot about the toaster pasties... and everyone knows that sims without cooking experience and cooking toaster pasties will have it burn or a kitchen fire(unless modded or lucky). So of course the oven is on fire, so I tell them to put the flames out themselves,which backfires and the guy and girl are on fire! So I call the 3rd person to put out the guy and then the girl...but she catches on fire too! so now I have a bunch of sims on fire and my friend is laughing at me for forgetting to buy a phone. I didn't save after that.

 

Here's one of the funniest near-death experiences I've ever read on this site. It wasn't actually my story, but hopefully, she won't mind if I share it here...

(We miss you, Person123! Hope you come back someday!)

 

Can't say that's ever happened to me, - not if he was IN the house...could have been abducted if he was stargazing through the telescope...but the aliens aren't ment to appear :S

 

Mortimer Goth R.I.P to a sims Original

Mortimer Goth lead a long and full life, shame he neverfound his long lost wife (who currently resides in strangetown being hit on my general Buzz Grunt) After dating and later marrying Dina Calliante who had an affair with local heart throb Cyd Roseland (and later gave birth to his child) Mortimer felt that he'd done everything he could to make the most out of life and died nicely of old age...even threw a party for te occasion!

 

Yesterday was a bad simming day for me. I recently created the sims of myself and my fiance, and had sent my sim fiance out to rake the leaves, then set some piles to burn (there were TONS) while my sim was dealing with the last day of being pregnant (whilst managing the needs of a toddler too).

All of a sudden I saw my fiance's icon disappear from the panel on the left, and when I went to see what happened, there was grimmy standing over a pile of burning ash in the garden. Seems that my sim fiance caught fire.

So I got my sim self to plead for his life, and she succeeded, but I wasn't happy to continue playing the game. It had really upset me! So I exited without saving and went back to the same point in the game - sent out sim fiance to rake the leaves but no burning this time. However, it started to rain and I left him out there while I was dealing with toddler needs etc. This time, sim fiance got electrocuted! He only barely escaped death, but what a mess he was in!

Again, I exited without saving. However, every time I re-entered the game after that, the new baby was a girl, and I had specifically planned to have a boy. So, I kept re-entering the game and it took 6 attempts before it was a boy. I never save until after the baby becomes a toddler as I like to see the genetics and personality etc. so, I waited til the boy was a toddler and found he had 1 nice point and a generally bad mix of personality pts. I exited without saving and tried again. Took a few attempts to get another boy. This time, the boy had messed up facial features (that's a whole other story for another thread), so again I exited without saving and tried again. Eventually after several more attempts I got another boy. Finally, his facial features were more normal and his personality was fairly decent. Now i'm exhausted lol. Still, I have a ton of cool screenshots to show for it.

Ok, back to the topic at hand - I avoid letting my sims die, so to see the Grim Reaper was shocking, particularly as it was my sim fiance. I hope I never see Grimmy again! He more than freaked me out.

 

thats sad and funny Hugz .

I have all my sims with all my family names and all have the same Sir name.
I get real sad when one dies. However its fun when the cemetery fills the lot and all the sims can do is grieve every time they go outside.lol And each spook has a great time scaring my sims into wetting themselves.

 

Hahaha! Those naughty ghosts, eh? :cheeky: lol

I got my first satellite death today!! *looks excited* Liz was randomly lying in the garden, stargazing when - BAM! - a satellite hits her! It made me jump out of my skin! Poor Liz... Since I need her for my stories, I quit the game without saving. Got some nice screens of it though. Maybe I should have a chapter about Liz getting hit by a satellite?

*wanders off muttering to myself*

 

Just to add another way of dying, if you have the download from Maxis, there is the run with scissors death.
Not completely exciting, but they do look rather silly running with a big pair of scissors.
