'''Death''' is the permanent state of (non-)existence in which a previously living [[Sim]], [[pet]], or other [[Life state|creature]] ceases to live. Causes of death can range from old age (brought on by reaching the end of the [[elder]] [[life stage]]), accident, player neglect, or through the deliberate choice(s) of the player. When all Sims die in a household, or there are only children in the household (as in the case of ''The Sims 2'' and later games), a [[game over]] occurs. In ''The Sims 2'', any orphaned babies, toddlers, or children will be taken away by an on-screen social worker, whereas in ''The Sims 4'', a message indicating that the orphaned Sim(s) will be cared for by social services will appear.
Although death is typically a state of absolute finality, there are several ways in which the dead may still be interacted with or even brought back to life. The spirits of dead Sims are often left to roam the world as [[ghost]]s, and there exist several legitimate (i.e. in-game) and illegitimate (i.e. cheating) methods to revive ghosts.
