In ''The Sims 2'', the [[ghost]] of a Sim who died of starvation will be a transparent white. These ghosts will open and close the fridge, and will take food. These ghosts get angry if there is no fridge on the lot or if the fridge is empty. Babies, toddlers, and children cannot die of starvation; they will be removed by the social worker before their hunger drops low enough. Even if [[testingcheatsenabled]] is used to drag the Hunger motive down to zero, they will not starve.

In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', a Sim starves if they get the "Starving" [[moodlet]], and it expires. Since a Sim will only get this moodlet after the "Hungry" and "Very Hungry" moodlets have expired, starvation takes longer than it does in other Sims games. In ''The Sims 3'', the ghost of a Sim who died of starvation will be purple, and the [[Gravestone#The Sims 3|gravestone]] of that Sim will have a picture of a knife, fork, and plate on it. [[Vampire (The Sims 3)|Vampires]] in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' cannot die of starvation, but can die from thirst. Due to technical limitations, a Sim can only die of starvation when on a lot, as the gravestone can only be spawned on a lot. As a result, Sims do not die in areas that are outside of lots, such as roads. Pregnant Sims cannot die from starvation. With testingcheatsenabled on, even if the players drag the hunger need of a baby, toddler, or child down to zero, the child will not die, but will be taken away by the social worker. The same thing applies for pets.

In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', this works the same way as ''The Sims 3'', except that it goes through two moodlets instead of three. The hungry Sim goes through the "Hungry" moodlet. If hunger is not fulfilled after 24 hours, that changes to the "Ravenous" moodlet, which lasts for another 24 hours. The Sim dies of starvation after the "Ravenous" moodlet expires. The limitation that Sims can only die on lots has been removed, so Sims can collapse from starvation in the middle of the street.
