Fright

Fright is a form of death in The Sims 2. It can be triggered in two ways: either by seeing a ghost, or opening up a |Vampire's coffin while a Vampire is inside. Upon being frightened, the Sim's needs will drop drastically. If the vital needs (hunger, energy, etc.) hit zero, the Sim will check their pulse, but will not be able to find it. The Sim will then collapse, dead. The ghost of a Sim who dies from fright will be pink.

Children can be frightened in this way, but will not die as a result.
