Cursed Day

So I loaded up my darling sim Ammon last night. His dog, Queenie, was in heat so I decided to take her to Brindleton Bay to get spayed. Well, some bug or glitch happened and he sat around the vet for HOURS waiting for a doctor. Eventually I got sick of waiting but was unable to make him go home. After a while I decided to do 'resetsim' on Queenie because Ammon had to go to work. It sort of worked, he loaded instantly home (the spay surgery undone).
The absolute second he loaded onto his home lot, the house caught on fire! He chose that second to go to work and in my panic of watching the house burn, I forgot I could force him home. Instead I just sat there while time was going by on ultra speed, watching his whole freaking house go up in flames. I was quite disheartened because he's a photographer with dozens of pictures all over his walls and they were slowly (or rather quickly actually) turning into piles of ash. There go all the pictures of his daughter, of his dog... oh no.
Ammon is in the chef career and he's only a line cook so he works late into the night. He appeared home very late with the house still on fire. His daughter was returned from daycare starving and exhausted (she's a toddler) but I didn't even notice because I was having him run around putting out the fire.
Well it was HUGE fire, so he took a long time to put it out. About then I see the pop up that his daughter is being taken away for neglect!
At that point I decided to cut my losses and quit to the main menu without saving. Talk about a waste of two hours but it was a rather hilarious streak of bad luck for poor Ammon.

Tempting, but since he's raising his daughter alone already he's kind of already coping. I think he'd just turn catatonic with nothing to live for if it weren't for her.
I know everyone plays different ways but I hate seeing this. Oh no my house burnt down and I lost my kid, well time to start over.....nope time to move on.
Been there!
Hope it all worked out? Just don’t save lol.

The last time I had a day like that for my sims was in ts3 when I played the Ingalls family. They had a meteor strike and one fell on Laura Ingall's head and crushed her to death. The whole family mourned around her grave and then finally went in to eat and the cooker caught on fire. Luckily nobody was hurt from that... they retired to bed, feeling tragically sad, and then in the middle of the night Ma Ingalls got a 'calling' to go outside in the yard. She then got abducted by aliens.
I sat with my mouth dropped open a lot of the time that day
Saying "not to be rude", then blatently being rude does not excuse rude behavior.
My oldest granddaughter was watching me play, over my shoulder, so I told her I was tempted to restart Erik. She said "No." I was all set to just carry on and see if the newspaper had any kind of write up about the "tragic end of a young star with talent who met fate thru uncontrolled house fire". When my game decided it for me. It promptly crashed.
My condolences. I've yet to be okay when the SS, I mean Social Workers abduct that is to say rescue a child from what they deem bad circumstances.

This is a h.e.ll of a story (really, no pun intended). I think I would save it, cause its kind of a good story and something to go with along the way. I would love to get a big fire one day, but i leave everything by chance. If you would have played generations, i can understand why you would not want to save, cause you lost your only child probably. But I still think this is a way of playing too. Thanks for sharing, i had a good laugh xD
Now that's one episode of Little House on the Prairie I'd buy a DVD box set to see! XD
Oh. Well that's sad.
Agreed.
