Fright

Fright is a form of death in The Sims 2. It can be triggered two ways: either 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 and can't find it, then collapse, dead, and the ghost's color will be pink.
