Starvation
Starvation occurs when a Sim has gone too long without eating. 'In The Sims and The Sims 2, Sims starve when their Hunger motive has become completely depleted. In The Sims 3 a Sim starves if he or she gets the "Starving" moodlet, and it expires.
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. Vampires[TS2:N] cannot die of starvation.
In The Sims 3, the ghost of a Sim who died of starvation will be purple, and the gravestone of that Sim will have a picture of a knife, fork, and plate on it. Starvation takes much longer in The Sims 3 than in other Sims games
