|caption = A game over screen in ''The Sims 4''.
}}In ''The Sims'' series, a '''game over''' occurs when there are no more playable Sims in a household. This can be caused by [[death]], or when there are only children and/or pets living after adults or teens die.

Line 13:
''The Sims 2'' introduced a game over screen featuring various dialogues of the [[Grim Reaper]] known as '''The Finale'''. After the last Sim dies, time is paused and the player loses control of live mode. The lot is still playable in build and buy mode, and the remaining funds the household had are still usable.
 
If all of the older Sims in a household die and only [[child]]ren and younger are left, they will be taken away by the [[social worker]]. The player will get a dialog box titled "'''The Orphanage Awaits"''', and will lose control of live mode once the social worker leaves the lot, and while the social worker takes away the children, build and buy mode are disabled, and the GUI elements for live mode disappear.
 
When the lot is saved, any [[Simoleon]]s that the household owned is taken away, yet the game will still require the household to use funds to purchase items until the lot is exited, at which point it can be entered in build mode to build as if it was an unoccupied lot.
 
The message will appear with the Grim Reaper's icon if all Sims are dead and The Finale message is shown, but if there are children that lived and were taken away resulting in The Orphanage Awaits message to display, the message will not show the Grim Reaper's icon.
 
If there are pets when all of the older Sims die, an Animal Control officer will take them away, with a quote from the officer saying "These poor pets no longer have an owner to take care of them. I'm taking them to the neighborhood Pet Adoption Center.". There is no unique message for this, instead it will be '''The Finale''' or '''The Orphanage Awaits''', depending on if there were children in the family when they got taken away.
