Fright
A frightened Sim in The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, Sims can be frightened by a ghost, or by opening a Vampire's coffin while a Vampire is inside[TS2:NL]. Upon being frightened, the Sim's needs will drop drastically. They jump up in the air, fall back down, and check their pulse, when they realize they don't have one, then collapse and die.
Children can be frightened in this way, but will not die as a result but instead, they will wet themselves or faint.
The Ghost of a Sim who died of fright will have a pink tint.
