I don't enjoy either killing Sims or watching others kill Sims.

I only did it once when a sims was really buggy via a mod and I really did not like it I am the type that hangs onto my sims forever lol

When I first played it I did the swimming pool ladder thing but it’s a bit sick really, I’d rather they had a good time.

Me neither. I think there is no explanation needed for this answer.

There was only one time that I deliberately killed off any sims, and it was back in Sims 2. I don't remember what had happened but I ended up killing off every single playable sim in the three base game towns. The only survivor was Beau Broke. Before that, I was always killing off Daniel Pleasant's father, I don't know why but I absolutely detested that guy.

It makes me feel bad to kill sims or even watch them die from anything other than old age.

I don't enjoy it but sometimes (not very often) I have to do it for storytelling purposes.

Great thread btw. I hope it will be in next friday highlights, I can't wait for more answers.

I can't say I enjoy it as such, but I have orchestrated deaths for the sake of a story.

fullspiral

I have a serial killer save. She goes around imprisoning and killing all the pre-made sims in the game. And also those that are dressed very badly. I don't play it very often, but....yeah. My sim kills sims.

Simburian

I used to. I got over it.

Lustianicia

I did when I was really young (like 10 years old)... but I've matured since then. Honestly, I know Sims are nothing but coding and pixels, but they're meant to represent a form of people... so it's kinda sadistic and disturbing for anyone to actually enjoy killing them... or even watching others killing them.

For me it's usually all about the story. Sims die sometimes because the story is going to go there. Sometimes I set it up to happen.. well this mostly because I'm not good with random death and I usually like to chose where my story goes and who is allowed to die. I can play a happy, happy, joy, joy save where everyone get's ahead and is friends one day and the next day I'll play a serial killer or black widow type of save or something along those lines. Even in heartwarming stories sometimes people die. It is part of life and can be part of a story... here in the sims you can even move their ghosts in afterward and bring them back to life.
I even read stories and watch movies where people die. It's a sometimes creative extension of that played out in the Sims. Then again sometimes I just want a ghost of every type.
The only time I watch it is if it's someone really entertaining and they are usually doing a challenge or telling a story.

In Sims 3, I had "Death Island". It was a game of life or death. There was a keeper, who ran the game and a bunch of contestants.

The keeper had a fully equipped manse that the contestants had no access to. They had communal living and only ate when the keeper gave them supper, or breakfast. If they were too slow in grabbing a portion, they went hungry.

And then there were contests. Using the baskeball, or golf, or other things sims 3 had (That sims 4 doesnt) The winner got to go to the winner suite in the manse for the week and didn't have to participate in the death game at the end of the week.

That was a lineup of jellybean bushes. They had to keep eating them until one of them died from it. Some of them turned purple, or yellow, or fainted, or whatever, but ultimately, one died. And the contestants got narrowed down that way.

The ultimate prize, (If the sim won) was freedom from Death Island and a new start with a new house and a pile of simoleons.

Now THAT was fun!

I'll kill sims if the story demands it. Or the house needs room for the next generation and the sim has stopped being fun to play. It's not something I enjoy, but it's not something I specifically don't like doing either. But it is rare that I need to kill them, and most die of old age (or occasionally exposure/stupidity because they decide that going swimming during a blizzard in Brindleton Bay is the right way to deal with their hygiene need...)

paradiseplanet

I do enjoy a nice Sim killing here and there, even better when I watch someone else do it!

Gordy

I only kill Sims when it benefits a story, but I have no problem with it. It can be pretty fun at times, too. I just wish sims weren't so friggen hard to kill in 4.

Hermitgirl

I know for awhile I found it pretty amusing to trap Vlad out on the porch by chatting to him after the sun came up. Or I'd cloudgaze with him over and over. Now that he's showing up in his zebra speedo's everywhere I might need to start doing it again.

ChelleJo

I don't enjoy killing sims and I don't enjoy watching others kill sims, but if a sim ticks me off bad enough, I'll kill them. But it has to be really bad, I've only killed one or two sims the entire sims 4 lifespan.

logion

I don't enjoy either killing Sims or watching others kill Sims, I feel sorry for them, if they are very annoying then I just edit them in cas.fulleditmode or remove them from the game in manage household or use mods to make those sims less annoying.

Dang, didn't see this. But I love doing this. In Sims 2, I made a neighborhood specifically for witches. Sims would enter this tower fight. Winners would advance to the next floor, and losers would have to go through a death trap and die.. The higher you climbed the tower, the more perks you would get (their own room, proper meals, extra skill points.) The higher you rise though, the more deadlier the traps for the losers.

The person who reached the top would become a witch and live in the witch neighborhood, while the person who came in second would get out alive (if the winner allowed it), but would get their memories wiped and be banished from the world. The end goal was to have a society founded by the strongest, smartest, and most resourceful. Their royal family originated from the sim who won the first battle royale.

Once I had a land of super-buff muscle witches, I had them invade other neighborhoods, beat the plum out of everyone, and kill them to take their land. The only ones that stood a chance against them were the super-buff muscle Servos with maxed-out Body skills and the ability to build more soldiers on demand.

You just gave me an idea for the evil vampire household in my game.

I've never deliberately killed any sims in any iteration, I don't create and play out stories. I've had 2 accidental deaths in TS2, none that I know of in 3 or 4 (or 1 for that matter). I'll do absolutely anything to keep my sims alive. I've had aging on only in my first TS4 save, and now some of the premades have passed. Had aging off since then.

CrownSims

It's not that I enjoy killing sims...... it's just sometimes a necessary evil.
