'''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]]. 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'' 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 keep swimming 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

Line 12:
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. 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
==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.
Line 21:
Sometimes, in ''The Sims 3'', the first time the player attempts to send a Sim who had drowned and has recently been resurrected via the [[Science Lab]], that Sim will either refuse, or get the "Drowning" moodlet. Also, if a Sim dies while in a pool, it still may be counted as drowning even if the Sim dies from another cause, such as starvation.
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''.
