Dead Dorm Mate?

GalacticGal

Today, it was Christmas (Winterfest) in my game. The Cantrells and Kayleigh plus another of their dormmates celebrated over at Darby's Den. The six of them went out to breakfast and upon their return tried to finish up their Second Term homework before the term begins. Prom is still an event, so when the Teens get a prompt they all go to make merry. For the first time ever they won the gold medal for the event! Whoot, whoot! I have now earned all three levels for this. LOL Took me long enough.

However, they all just returned to Wyvern Hall. Lo, and behold, I spy a ghost in the lavatory. I sweep the mouse over her and it's Ayumi Kanek. She's only a YA! I'm gobsmacked and curious as to what befell her.

Has anyone else experienced such an unknown death in their game? I'm going to have to search for the urn, now.

That’s so mysterious! I wonder what happened… Maybe she’ll display some kind of behaviour that might give away how she died.

I know, quite the mystery, eh? Where is Jessica Fletcher when you need her!

It sort of happened to me! It was also winterfest in my game, but who died was a bot. She was taken down by the snow in a dorm terrace. Before that, I didn't even knew that they could die.

Oh I had one like that too! I’m still not sure what happened. I think it was something with robotics I’m guessing cause she had electricity coursing through her.

My Sims are attending Britechester-U. I have no idea what this NPC Sim was majoring in, and so far no real clues of what happened. I don't find an urn anywhere in the dorm, but because she resided here at Wyvern Hall, this is where she 'haunts'. I do wish the colors of the ghosts wouldn't shift based on their moods. Back in Sims2 & 3, I do believe whatever was the cause of death was the color they remained. They would leave a puddle of water, if they drowned for instance. Red if by fire and so on and so on. Now their color shifts depending on what they're feeling. Good grief. Glad you at least had a clue.

Now, that is shocking.

Yeah, I prefer the Sims 2/3 way where ghost colour depended on how they died.
Is there a chance it could be mentioned in the Neighbourhood Stories notifications, or do you have it disabled??

I have failed to read those regularly since my Sims are at Uni. So much going on all of the time. If I remember to, I'll try to check them the next time I have a chance to play my game. Babysitting seven of my thirteen grandchildren later this morning. Pray for me. They range in age from 10 all the way down to almost two. And the twins are just now three.

@Lucy_Henley I just got back into playing my game and was reminded to check the NS via the mailbox. (The ghost was busy hefting a computer up and down from the desktop. Great reminder.) Turns out she died of a vicious chicken attack. All I can think of is she must have gone home for the holiday over the weekend. Poor thing. Mystery solved!

Yikes! Those evil chickens! Hopefully babysitting went well.

Yes, my daughter didn't bring me all seven. She left the three youngest ones with a dear friend. Phew! We live in an HOA and the playground is right outside of our dining room window. Hubby was home, so I had help. The girls enjoyed the fair weather and played out front the entire time. It went by fast, I'm very happy to say. And I've been playing my game for most of the day. Very nearly to the end of that pesky second term.
