'''Drowning''' is a form of [[death]] in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. Drowning is the second form of death which covers all ages from [[child]] to [[elder]], the other being [[fire]].
==Cause==
Drowning typically occurs when a Sim suffers from critical motive failure while in a [[swimming pool]] or other body of water. Drowning normally requires the player to force the Sim to drown as Sims will usually get out of a pool before they drown, if they are able to do so. A Sim ''will'' eventually drown in a pool when there is no means of getting out. In ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', deleting a pool ladder takes away the Sim's only means of escape. However, in ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims 4'', Sims can climb out of the pool without a ladder, so players who want to keep a Sim from getting out of a pool must use a wall to block them. When Sims can't get out of a pool, they will continue swimming (and complaining of motive failure) until their [[energy]] is used up. When this happens, they will die of fatigue. Also in ''The Sims 3'', player can use cheats to lower the hunger need of swimming Sims, thus making them starve and drown. In ''[[The Sims 4: Get Famous]]'', Sims can also die by drowning in the Luminary's Exotic Water Garden, if they jump or fall into it while the pond is full of hungry fish.
==The Grim Reaper==
When a Sim drowns, the [[Grim Reaper]] arrives as usual. However, players generally cannot have another Sim plead with him as with [[Death|other means of death]], as Sims will not be able to get to him while he is in the in the middle of the pool. Therefore, Sims who have drowned likely have no chance of regaining life unless they are resurrected.
However, two [[expansion pack]]s for ''The Sims 2'' provide exceptions to this. If ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' is installed, a drowned Sim who had successfully [[Genie#The Sims 2|wished]] for the power to cheat death can plead for their own life.
==Drowned
In ''The Sims 2'', the [[ghost]] of a Sim who has drowned will be a shade of blue and will often create puddles or flood a room while they walk about. Other Sims may have to mop this up. Sometimes they will leap into bathtubs and start the bath water. Afterwards, they will jump out.
In ''The Sims 3'', the ghost of a drowned Sim is still blue and will have water dripping from their body, but won't create puddles. The ghost of a Sim who has died from the [[Box of Danger|Watery Grave]] trick in ''Showtime'' is identical to be the ghost of a drowning Sim prior to patch 1.50. The gravestone of a drowned Sim is the same as Sims who die from scuba diving.
Sometimes, in
In ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]'',
In ''The Sims 4'', the ghost of a Sim who has drowned has hydrophobia (fear of water) and leaves puddles around, similar to ''The Sims 2''.
