Rodney's Death Creator

Rodney's Death Creator is a debugging object found in The Sims 2 that can be spawned via the boolprop testingcheats code. It takes on the form of a tombstone when spawned.

This object allows the player to kill the active sim in a variety of ways e.g. death by fire, fright, crushed by satellite etc. Some deaths included in later expansion packs, such as Rally Forth or deaths requiring an object such as the Cowplant are not listed on the menu. Sims can be killed with the Death Creator regardless of their age (for example, it's possible to kill a child by electrocution or a teen by old age) and can also be resurrected with the Resurrect-O-Nomitron, Genie or pleaded for. Because of the variety of deaths available with this object, it is commonly used in player-created stories.
