Drowning is a form of [[death]] in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]''. Drowning is the second form of death which covers all ages between child to elder, the other being fire. A [[Sim]] will 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'', 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 keep swimming until their energy is used up. When this happens, they will die of fatigue.▼

'''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]]. Like [[starvation]], it is the slowest way for a Sim to die.
==Cause==
▲Drowning
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,
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. If ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' is installed, an infallibly good [[witch]] or warlock with at least level 9 magic skill can use the [[Spells (The Sims 2: Apartment Life)#"Good" spells|spell]] "Expello Mortis", which can reach out and remove the Grim Reaper, though it will not be able to reach the middle of a very large pool.

==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
In ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]'', if a pet runs out of energy in a pool, they will teleport out of the pool. Pets can actually get the "Drowning" Moodlet. However, there is a bug where they will still have the "Drowning" moodlet after teleporting out. When it runs out, they will drown, but the game treats the animation as death by old age (pets). Instead of being red or blue depending on their lifetime happiness, the ghost will have the same blue texture as the drowning ghost for Sims, minus any ghost effects or noises.
==Notable Drowned Sims==▼
*[[Skip Broke]], resident of [[Pleasantview]] and father of [[Dustin Broke |Dustin]] and [[Beau Broke]], and former husband of [[Brandi Broke]], mysteriously drowned in a pool accident.▼
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''.
*[[Willow Nigmos]], sister of [[Olive Specter]], was drowned. Her tombstone rests in Olive's yard.▼
