'''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 of==
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 keepcontinue swimming (whileand complaining andof throwingmotive tantrum in distressfailure) 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.
Normally, this death occurs to a Sim that stays too long in the pool. In ''The Sims'', this can happen regardless of how much the Sim has energy left, though the low it is the higher the chance they will die. In later games, their demise finalizes when their energy or hunger is depleted completely along with the expiration of the respective final moodlet.
