Game guide:Killing Sims (The Sims 2)

Here is a list of how to kill your Sims. Let the fun begin!

Fire
This is the most common and maybe the most well known throughout The Sims series. You can achive this one of two ways; ' The ghost will be a redish-orange with flames inside of them. '
 * 1) Place a Sim with a low cooking skill level in a small room with no way out. Then put a stove, a fridge and chairs surrounding the stove. Have the Sim cook a meal using the stove and it should burst into flames.
 * 2) Another way is about the same basic idea except with this one you need The Sims 2: Nightlife expansion pack. Place a Sim in a small room in the middle of some chairs, then put the flame shooters available in the decor section. Place them close to the chairs and leave them acessable to the sim. Pause the game and click on each one of them and choose the option "Turn On", then press play and the room should be engulfed in flames within a couple of seconds.

(Note: This is a very expensive way to kill your sims, you can easily have as much money as you want by using the cheat: motherlode. To open the cheat box hit Ctrl+Shift+C.)

Electrocution
This is achieved by having a Sim with a low mechanical skill level fix a broken electronic near a puddle of water. (A puddle of water can be made by: your Sims peeing or having the toliet, shower or sink break.) They will be electrocuted then they will die.

In The Sims 2, electrocution causes a large drop in all of a Sim's needs. If this puts three or more of the Sim's needs at extremely low levels, he or she will die.

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

Drowning
Place your Sim in a pool then take out the ladders, they will soon drown.

The ghost will be blue and have water in them, the ghost will leave puddles when it comes out at night.

Starvation
Place your Sim in a room and take out any doors, when their hunger goes all the way down. You can also just turn off "free will".

'The ghost appears white 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.'

Fright
You have to have a graveyard in your house. At night when the ghosts are out have your Sim go out and it is possible that they will get scared and his/her motives fall drastically. If the critical needs, (hunger, energy, etc.) fall far enough, the Sim will die.

(Also if The Sims 2: Nightlife is owned and a Sim opens a casket with a vampire in it they may die of Fright. This could possibly count as a new type of death:  Death By Vampire.)

The ghost appears pink and will occasionally act frightened.

Flies
Leave dirty dishes all over the house your Sim will eventually be engulfed in a swarm of flies.

The ghost appears purple

Eaten (Need University)
Get the Cowplant Career reward and put it in your house, have your Sim click on it and choose the option "Grab Cake".

(You can use the cheat: unlockcareerrewards to unlock the cowplant.)

'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.'

Hail (Need Seasons)
Have your Sim stand out in a hail storm when their needs are low.

The ghost will be red and when angry will have hail coming out of them.

Disease
Don't cure your sim's illness for 9-10 days.

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

Lightning (Need Seasons)
Leave your sims out in a thunderstorm for a long time, better chance if the Sim is using a hot tub or pool. If lightning were to hit a Sim and his or her needs are low, that Sim will die.

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

Vampire Death (Need Nightlife)
Have your Vampire Sim stand out in the light for to long.

 The ghost appears white and is still a vampire. 

Satellite
Click on the ground outside and choose the option "Watch Clouds" at noon or "Stargaze" at night. Leave them there for a couple of hours, a satellite will then fall out of the sky, crushing your Sim.

The ghost appears orange and smoking.

(This is not the best method, since it happens really rarely.)

Rally Forth! (Need Open for Business)
Have your Sim use the Rally Forth! business perk when their needs are low. They will eventually choke from shouting into the Rally Forth megaphone and die.

The ghost appears golden with megaphone.

Kite Strike! (Need Open for Business)
Make a kite with a toymaking kit and fly a poorly made (failed) one when your Sim's needs are low. This works like the electrocution death and will not kill children.

The ghost appears yellow, as if it died by electrocution.

Elevator Plummet (Need Open for Business)
Have your Sim ride in an elevator when their needs are low. If the elevator breaks down while Sims are in it, they will die.

The ghost appears white and acts dizzy.

Wishing Well (Need Seasons)
If a Sim wishes for money from the wishing well and it fails, a sack of only §50 will fall on his/her head, and if their needs are too low, they will die.

The ghost's appearance is like a ghost who died from starvation.

Murphy Bed Crush (Need Apartment Life)
Have your Sim open the bed, if a Sim has less than 5 body skill and -70 or less mood, there is a 5% chance that it will fall on and crush the Sim, killing him/her.

The ghost will avoid the bed that killed them.

Old Age
Wait until the end of their elder bar is full.

 The ghost will be a purpleish-gray. 

Freeze To Death (Need Seasons)
Have your Sim stand outside during a heavy snow storm. If their needs drop too low, specifically hunger, they will freeze to death and turn blue, collapsing to the ground. This works better if a Sim is wearing a swimsuit. Or you can used cheat code: "BoolProp Testingcheatsenabled true" to drop their need down low while in the snow (but not completely or this will act as dying from Starvation).

The ghost will appear as transparent blue.

Heat Stroke (Need Seasons)
Basically the opposite of Freezing To Death. During the Summer season on a hot day, have your Sim stay outside until their heat bar rises to the top (for freezing the bar drops) and they will have a sunburn and eventually pass out from a heat stroke and collapse. If another Sim does not revive them, their needs will plummet and they will die from dehydration.

The ghost appears as transparent reddish-orange.
