Forum:Exactly how rare is this?

when i was looking through some articles on this wiki, under the "types of death" category, i saw this:
Fire: If a Sim is on fire for a period of time, he/she will die. It is also possible for a Sim to randomly burst into flames via spontaneous combustion, though that is VERY uncommon.
what i want to know is, how uncommon is it? has it ever happened to you? is there a mod to make it happen more often?
It has never happened to me. I read that this CAN happen in real life and around 250 deaths are considered to have happened due to it. It happens when people get too stressy. I think keeping the sim in a low mood for around 2 weeks without letting them die, usually at -3, can trigger this, but I can't say for sure. It's EXTREMLY rare. |_Andronikos Leventis Talk 16:37, January 23, 2011 (UTC)
- I've never heard of this happening in real life either: wikipedia:Spontaneous_human_combustion. I have not ever heard of this happening in the game, but I also don't make a point of making my Sims absolutely miserable so it's not likely that I would experience this anyway. -- LostInRiverview talk · blog 17:17, January 23, 2011 (UTC)
