Death: Difference between revisions

In ''The Sims 2'', a deceased Sim's closest friends and [[family relationships|family members]] will inherit a small amount of [[money]] through life insurance. If a Sim is [[married]] or joined at the time of their death, any [[community lot]]s or vacation homes owned are inherited by their spouse. In ''The Sims 4'', no such monetary inheritance takes place, although items in a deceased Sim's [[inventory]] will be transferred to their offspring who live in the same lot. All Sims who witnessed the death, including those not particularly close to the deceased Sim, will receive a very [[sad]] moodlet for 48 hours (though [[household]] members who were not in the same room as the deceased Sim at the time of death will not be affected). Sims who witnessed the death of an enemy will receive a  [[happy]] moodlet.{{vgversion|TS4}}

*''[[Cowplant]]'': Sims who attempt to grab the cake from a hungry Cowplant (''The Laganaphyllis Simnovorii)'' will be eaten alive. The [[Grim Reaper]] does not come when Sims are eaten by the Cowplant. Instead, the tombstone will come directly out of the Cowplant's mouth. Sims cannot plead with the [[Grim Reaper]] to resurrect the Sim, nor can eaten Sims plead for their own lives{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}}. [[Servo]]s can die in this way.

*''[[Starvation]]'': If the "Ravenous" moodlet expires, the Sim dies of starvation. Children, toddlers, pregnant Sims, vampires{{Vgversion|TS4:V}}, skeletons{{Vgversion|TS4:JA}}  and Servos{{Vgversion|TS4:DU}} cannot die this way. Children and toddlers will be taken away if their hunger bar is low. Pregnant Sims and ghosts will produce an energy bar that replenishes a little of their hunger need once it reaches zero. Mermaids living in [[Sulani]] will die near the ocean.

*''[[wikipedia:Death from laughter|Hysteria]]'': Sims who get the [[Playful (emotion)|hysterical]] emotion will eventually, if not calmed down,  begin wheezing from laughing and run out of breath. Vampires,{{Vgversion|TS4:V}} Servos,{{Vgversion|TS4:DU}} as well as teens and younger cannot die this way

*''Cardiac Explosion (Rage)'': Sims who get the [[Angry|enraged]] emotion and continue to be angry for a while  will die when they start stomping around and suddenly clutch their chest before dropping dead. Vampires,{{Vgversion|TS4:V}} Servos,{{Vgversion|TS4:DU}} as well as teens and younger cannot die this way. Also, celebrities who have Emotion Bomb quirk while enraged cannot die this way.{{Vgversion|TS4:GF}}

*''[[Cowplant]]'': If a Cowplant is not fed for a period of time, it will pull out a slice of cake to lure Sims in. If a Sim tries to grab the cake, they will be eaten by the Cowplant and will be spat out, receiving a negative moodlet. If the Sim tries to grab the cake again with the moodlet, they will be devoured and die.  Servos who will die this way will be culled from the game, and the Grim Reaper will not come for them.{{Vgversion|TS4:DU}}

*''Mother Plant'': Sims who failed at fighting against the Mother Plant at the end of StrangerVille's story may be devoured and killed by it.  Servos cannot die this way.{{Vgversion|TS4:DU}}

* ''Beetles'': If a Sim drinks beetle juice three times in succession, they will instantly turn into a ghost and the Grim Reaper will not come for them. Beetle juice can be made at level 10 of the [[Mixology (The Sims 4)|mixology]] skill with beetle nuggets in a Sim's inventory.  Servos cannot die this way because they do not drink.{{Vgversion|TS4:DU}}

* ''[[Flies]]'': If a Sim interacts with objects swarmed by flies and disturbs them too much,  they are at risk of being swarmed by flies and being eaten by them. Servos cannot die this way.{{Vgversion|TS4:DU}}

Not all  ''The Sims  ''games have Sims dying. Below are the games where it is impossible to have Sims die.

*''[[MySims]]''  series: There is no death in the  ''MySims'' series of games as it is targeted towards younger audiences.

*''[[The Sims Stories]]:  ''Story mode only. Sims can die in free play  mode or after the story is completed.

*''[[The Sims FreePlay]]'':  Having Sims starve simply lowers their mood.
