Game guide:Killing Sims

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

Starvation
A cheap and common method, since every Sim needs to be fed constantly. To make death by Starvation come true, just box a Sim into a room without doors or any other way for them to get out. The Sim will get hungry by that time and will start complaining, as other motives will fall as well. As the Sim approaches death, he/she may be visited, if graves present, by ghosts in the lot. Once he passes away, the Grim Reaper will appear. The cons with this method is that it is slow and painful, so if you are sensitive, you may want to turn the camera somewhere else.

Fire
Fire is an interesting, fast and sure method to kill a Sim. Box a Sim into a 4x4 room without exit, and add a fireplace and a loveseat. Have the Sim light the fireplace and then sit in the loveseat, and add tables in front of the Sim to prevent him from standing up. Then fill any other space in the room with carpets and end tables. They should catch on fire and the Sim will as well. After that, the Grim Reaper will appear. This method is however expensive and if your budget is poor you should pick something else.

Drowning
Drowning is the most sure method and the simplest of all. To achieve this, create a 3x3 (or bigger) pool and make a Sim dive in. Then wait until all their motives drop down and they will eventually drown. The Grim Reaper will appear. This method is probably the best of all, but not the most exciting.

Electrocution
To electrocute a Sim easily and quickly, buy a flat screen TV and make sure your Sim has no Mechanical skill points. Also place a sink or a dishwasher next to the TV. Then, you can either use the two objects until they break, or use the Concoctonation Station, and hope your Sim makes the purple potion and turn into a monster. They will proceed to break the TV and the dishwasher. Once the potion wears off, have them repair the TV while standing on the puddle the sink/dishwasher produced. The Sim should die instantly and the Grim Reaper will appear. This is the fastest method of all, but it is an expensive one as well.

Guinea Pig Disease
A very interesting and dramatic method. Buy a Guinea Pig Cage with a Guinea Pig and leave the Guinea Pig neglected. Then have the Sim play with the Guinea Pig and they should get the disease. Let your Sim do frustrating and hard activities, and the Sim shall die. The Grim Reaper will appear. Beware with this method however, since this disease is contagious.

Fire Storm
The most exciting method of all the before. This can kill up to 12 Sims at once. Create a designated zone. If it is smaller than your lot, close it with walls, if it is just as big as your lot, it is not necessary. Cover the whole designated zone with carpets, but leave 2 tiles left out. On one of the two tiles add fireworks. Then have one of the Sims in the designated area launch a rocket. The whole designated area should burn. The Grim Reaper will appear. This method is also the most expensive, so you might consider using cheats.

Skydiving Simulator
(Requires Superstar) This death is a rather unique death. First off, buy a Skydiving Simulator from the catalogue. It might be a bit expensive, but the sim's going to die anyway! Then get your sim to go into the simulator. Once the sim is in the simulator, go into buy mode and block the exit so they can't escape. Finally, wait for your sims motives to decay and then eventually they will just pop up into the sky and a grave stone will appear next to the simulator. The Grim Reaper will not appear however. This method is a very long one and a very expensive one as well so it'd be better to kill your sim a quicker way.

The Sims 2
One of the best way to kill Sims in The Sims 2 is by using boolprop testingcheatsenabled true, and then spawn Rodney's Death Creator. Rodney's Death Creator allows the player to kill Sims instantly in certain way. Players can also easily kill Sims without Rodney's Death Creator but with testingcheatsenabled, such as by dragging the hunger meter to rock bottom, aging them to the limit, or simply opt to kill them by flies. However, this tutorial is considered to show the ways to kill Sims without testingcheatsenabled true.

Starvation
Simply trap Sims in an enclosed room or fences. Eventually, their hunger will go all the way down and they will starve to death. Additionally, many accidents can cause Sims' hunger to go down significantly, such as the failure use of The Eclectic and Enigmatic Energizer, plummeting from elevators, the evil Snapdragon Bouquet, and sitting on opposite-alignment Witch Throne.

The ghost appears transparent and often uses the fridge, taking food with it. Ghosts get angry if there is no fridge on the lot or if the fridge is empty.

Electrocution
Sims with low Mechanical skill who attempt to fix broken electronics are likely to be electrocuted. The chances are greater if they are standing on a puddle while fixing. If their needs go really down, they will die. However, if they don't die, there's a chance that fire will break instead.

The ghost appears yellow and sparking.

Drowning
Get Sims swim in the pool, and then take out the ladders. When their hunger or energy is empty, they will drown.

The ghost appears blue and leaves puddles when it comes out at night.

Fire
Death by fire is one of the most common death in The Sims series. There are many ways to start a fire, but one of the most common way to set a fire is by leave food on stove or light the fireplace. However, an instant way to create fire is to grill inside, which, for some reasons, set the house on fire instantly. The best solution after this is to place rugs before setting a fire right below the grill. The best rug to use is the basketball court rug from FreeTime, which is the most expensive and the largest. Try using Moveobjects on. However, if you own Apartment Life, a glitch causes the rug cannot spread fire like it's meant to be. Therefore, you must patch the game for the best result.

The ghost appears red and smoking.

Old Age
One way to boost up Sims' age is to drink the Elixir of Life in low aspiration.

The ghost appears white.

Disease
One way to easily make Sims to get sick is by using the Biotech Station with low aspiration and bad mood. Once Sims get the mysterious disease, or any disease, don't let them get cured. Just let them do their activities without resting. If you don't want other Sims to get infected, lock the sick Sims in a contained room.

The ghost appears green. Occasionally, these ghosts will grasp their throat and start coughing, re-enacting their death.

Flies
Leave dirty dishes all over the house on the floor and try stepping them as often as possible. This is by far the hardest death to gain without cheating.

The ghost appears purple.

Fright
Before killing Sims in this way, you must already have dead Sims on the lot. At night, when the ghosts appear and haunt, keep following the ghosts until you get scared and die. The ghost appears pink.

Satellite
Click on the ground outside and choose the option "Watch Clouds" at noon or "Stargaze" at night. There's a 1% chance that a satellite will fall on the Sim after 5-24 cycles. This is only checked at the beginning of interaction, not every cycle, so if you cancel the interaction, the satellite will not fall. Watching clouds or stargazing longer will not increase the chance of falling satellite, and if the death is not checked at the first place, falling satellite will not occur even if you stargaze forever.

If you want to try for it to happen, stargaze, wait until 24 cycles, and repeat until bored.

The ghost appears orange.

Cowplant
Get the Cowplant career reward and place it somewhere in the house. Wait it for a while until it takes out a slice of cake out of its mouth. Grab the cake, and your Sim will be eaten.

The ghost appears light green. If the Cowplant is still there, the Sim will taunt it with a slab of meat. Additionally, if someone drank the Sim's life essence, the ghost will be angry at that Sim.

Coffin Scare
When Sims peek a coffin or are dared to peek one with a vampire inside it, there's a possibility that they will be scared by the vampire. If the needs are too low, they will die. This type of death is different from death by fright.

The ghost appears transparent.

Sunlight
Get the vampires to stay outside until all their needs hit rock bottom, and they will die of sunlight. This can also happen even at night if by any chance their needs are all empty.

The ghost appears white and is still a vampire.

Rally Forth
Keep Sims using the Rally Forth interaction until all their needs run out.

The ghost appears golden with megaphone.

Wishing Well
Keep the Sims wishing for money, and when it fails, there's a 25% chance that the sack will kill the Sims, while 75% will only lower their needs. Their needs have to be low enough, and a Sim cannot wishes multiple times even at different wishing wells.

The ghost appears white.

Hail
Get Sims to stay outside during a hail. There's a chance that they will be bludgeoned and die.

The ghost appears magenta and when angry will have hail coming out of them.

Lightning
During a thunderstorm, let the Sims stay outside. With Pescado's Lot Debugger, you can set the rain as torrential to make a higher chance of lightning. The chances are greater if Sims are in a pool (but will cause them to die by drowning) or a hot tub, and even higher if the lot doesn't contain any lightning rods and trees.

The ghost will be yellow with lightning bolts inside of them.

Murphy Bed
Keep opening and closing the murphy bed. Sims with less than 5 body skill and -70 or less mood have a 5% chance that it will fall on and crush the Sim, killing them. There is no option to make Sims die by using the Rodney's Death Creator. There is an easier way to make Sims keep opening the bed though, by using the Allmenus cheat, and then keep using the "Open" interaction.

The ghost appears white and will avoid the bed that killed them.

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 starvation! 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 appears testingCheatsEnabled true, exactly like that. Then drag+click the Hunger need bar full way down. The Sim should die instantly.

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.

Alternatively, if you do not want to spend that much time, you can have the Sim work out and when the Sim has the fatigued moodlet, make the Sim swim, the Sim will die in 30 minutes, game time. You will have to block the way out of the pool here as well

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 very 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 a very expensive way of killing.

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 canceling the grilling process can result in a deadly fire. Lightning a firework inside the house would also cause fire.

Old Age
Definitely the cheapest method of all (die for free with a free tombstone!). 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 appears 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's 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 the mummy's curse, make them go to Al Simhara, Egypt, where you can find loads of mummies. If you are (un)lucky enough, your Sim will be cursed. After 2 weeks (14 days) without being cured, your Sim will die. The ghost will be golden brown. A black smoke will also surround the ghost's head 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 definitely the best for storytellers, but it happens just very randomly and cannot be triggered.

With the 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, it doesn't seem to have any impact.

Thirst
This is only possible with Late Night installed. Although vampires are in Supernatural this does not work. This is similar 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 (starving) 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.

Haunting Curse
A sim can die by haunting curse in the Supernatural. The ghost of a sim who died from haunting curse is green, with skulls flying around him. The way to make a sim die by haunting curse:

Create a witch/warlock,

Cast spells until you'll see a red moodlet with a picture of wand,

Cast the curse "Haunting Curse",

You'll see that the sim will appear a Blackish Green color

Cowplant
The cowplant which can be purchased at The Sims 3 Store will have a birthday cake on his tounge after 3 days without food. A sim who will try to interact with it, would be eaten.

Jelly Bean plant
The Jelly Bean Plant is an interesting way to kill your sims. In order to achieve this death, simply have your sim eat too many Jelly Beans from the Jelly Bean Plant.

The ghost will be purple with blue hair and highlights around the body.

Transmutation Accident
A Sim may be turned into gold when using the Philosopher's Stone. The ghost is gold, and it will also leave a gold statue that is worth §50,000 to §62,500. One may exploit this by having a Sim with either a Death Flower (or either the Unlucky trait or the Loser trait) use the Philosopher's Stone for extended periods of time.
