Game guide:Killing Sims (The Sims 3)

Killing Sims is usually something that Evil Simmers love to do. Here is a walkthrough with the best stategy tips. Which one will you choose?

Starvation
A quite easy way to kill your Sims is by starving them. To do that, create a small room, usually 5x5 or 4x4, and remove a single wall section. Then make the Sim get inside the room. Close the room with a wall again. After that, just wait some hours and the Sim will die due to starvatation! The ghost will be purple and the grave will have a fork and knife mark on it. This method is good if you don't like spending your Sims' money, but if you really want a faster method, don't do that. It can also be achieved by cheating. Type Ctrl+Shift+C, and then type in the console window that appers testingCheatsEnabled true, exactly like that. Then drag+click the Hunger need bar full way down. The Sim should instantly die.

Drowning
This is a very fast method to kill your sims! To do that, simply, create a small pool, usually around 3x3 or 4x4, and make a Sim enter into the pool. Then build walls around it. Sims then will swim for some hours, until they will get the Drowning moodlet, and after 40 minutes in-game pass, the Sim will drown. The sim will probably drown faster if it has the Fatigued moodlet. The ghost will be blue and the grave will have a drowning Sim symbol on it. This method is good in case you want a very fast way to kill your sims, but it can cost a lot simoleons.

Electrocution
Electrocuting Sims is a very interesting way to kill them! Several methods have been suggested. One of them includes creating a Sim with the Technophobe trait, then make the sim sabotage a TV placed on tiles. After that, the player must make the Sim pee on the tiles, and then making the Sim repair the TV with low skill on the resulting puddle. This will cause electrocution at the first time. At the second time, the Sim will die. This is a good method in case you enjoy killing your Sims slowly and painfully, but if you are worried about how much simoleons you'll spend, this isn't your method.

Fire
Fire is a painful disaster in The Sims series, and possibly the best-known cause of death. To trigger death by fire, make a Sim prepare waffles. Wait until the sim bakes them but not fully or just wait until you see that its cooking. Now, create a small room, usually 3x3 or 2x3, remove a wall section and make the Sim enter. Now add that wall section again, so that the Sim is trapped into the room. Move the oven into the room,. Add loads of chairs to block the sim's way to the oven and spread the fire. The fire will start when you see some kind of black smoke.Wait until it gets to the sim. When the fire gets to him/her, he/she will get "On Fire" moodlet, and after and hour or so, the sim will die. The ghost will be red and the grave will have a fire mark on it. This is a good and interesting method to kill a sim, especially for storytellers, but it can end up to be very expensive.

You can also place a rug under the fireplace, and start the fire in the stove. That will cause a fire to start. You can then have the sim get next to the flames and catch fire. You can also have the Sim poke the fire, eventually causing the sim to catch on fire.

Even starting up a grill inside a room, and then cancelling the grilling process. The grill will also catch fire.

Old Age
Probably the cheapest method of all (free!). To kill a Sim by old age, simply wait until their lifespan finishes. The ghost will be white and the grave will have an hourglass mark on it. To trigger that by cheating, type Ctrl+Shift+C, then type in the console window that appers testingcheatsenabled true, exactly like that. Then Shift+Click the sim, then choose "Trigger Age Transition", as many times as needed until the Sim dies. This method costs nothing, but really takes loads of time and patience.

Mummy Curse
This is only possible with World Adventures installed. Killing a Sim by mummy's curse is very difficult, but it is still very fun to watch. To kill a sim by mummy's curse, make them go to Al Simhara, Egypt, where you can find loads of mummies. If you are lucky enough, your Sim will be cursed. After 14 days (2 weeks) without been cured, your Sim will die. The ghost will be grey and there will be a mummy mark on the grave. This is a good method for players who love stories about ancient history and storytellers who want to spice up their story, but it is very difficult to achieve.

Remember, a Sarcophagus will only spawn a mummy once. It is also difficult for Sims with a high Athletic or Martial Arts skill to die this way, as they will usually defeat the mummy, and therefore will not become cursed.

Meteor
This is only possible with Ambitions installed. The chances of being hit by a meteor are 4% when using the telescope outdoors, 2% when just using a random object outdoors, and 1% when just walking down the street. The ghost will be orange and the grave will have a falling meteor mark on it. Before a meteor lands ominous music will play and and a message will appear saying the sim is wondering why it got so dark. There is an option to make the sim move out of the way before the meteor lands or leave them to their doom. This method is definately the best for storytellers, but it happens just very randomly and cannot be triggered.

With buydebug cheat a germinator can be bought and placed in the desired location, but while this should increase the probability of a Sim being clashed by a meteor, but it doesn't seem to have any impact, though.

Thirst
This is only possible with Late Night installed.This is simillar to Starvation above, but with vampires they will have the thirst need instead of the hunger one.Follow the same steps as above, and you'll get this right! If you leave your vampire to thirst (starve) first your vampire will turn into ashes and die.The ghost of the vampire will be black with a red pulsing heart and the grave will have a bat mark on it.This is one beautiful methods to use ever, but as explained above, sadly a time wasting one. As above in the death by hunger section, you can enter testingcheatsenabled true and drag the thirst need to empty as a quick way to kill a vampire. Another quick way is to get your vampire in the sun for a long time, and they will get the 'Too Much Sun' moodlet. While active, your sim's thirst will plummet dramatically. Just lock them in a room without a roof after getting the moodlet and wait, death soon follows. This method will only work with Vampire Sims, and a normal Sim will die by Starvation instead.
