    Sims 3 was my first sims game and I was completely shocked when I electrocuted my sim and the Grim Reaper showed up. I was bummed out since they were the only sim in the household and had to start another new game. Previously I had tried a game for a little while where my sim got singed while working at the science lab and all it took to fix her was to take a shower. So when my sim had showered after trying to fix the broken dish washer I sent her right back at it. The second time she got shocked Grimmy showed up with his dramatic music. I was wondering what the h---.

    My second sim death was old age.

    My second accidental killing of my own sim was drowning. I just wanted her to swim a little longer to level up her athletics. :)

    My only intentional killing of my sim was drowning for my "Emily and the Ghost" story. I hated it. I almost cried since I was so attached to my vampire, intended ghost.

    Starvation. But not my fault! All my Sim's needs were up to the max, I left him fishing while I went to check on another Sim in the household. Two seconds later get a pop-up message that "my Sim has died on another lot"!
    What? I couldn't believe it.

    drowning

    I generally don't have sims die. I send them to the great nursing home (library) or stop playing when I feel that I've played out their story, or it is so laggy I get cranky about it.

    The first in game death was after I got IP and my sim rebuilt that trashed resort in IP. Sims started visiting and a little girl stayed too long in the pool. I tried to send my sim to help her, get her out of the pool. I did not use mods and didn't know about 'reset sim' at the time. She died and it was awful. Quit without saving. I did not even know a child could die like that. I figured the AI would make them get out before they were fatigued.

    Starvation. I was trying out the testingcheats cheat and lowered the hunger motive a bit too far :lol:
    Later, after I got the Late Night EP, I wanted to test how much the vampires are immortal and did the same thing with the thirst motive...

    meteor srike or mummy's curse
    Meteor strike! :D It was the first time I played in Twinbrook. My sim was on a date with Goodwin Goode and they were stargazing together. I didn't even know about meteors, at the time, and I probably ignored the pop-up message about a shadow because it was nighttime. After it hit, I think I sat there stunned! I had no idea what had just happened! :D

    I'm sorry but I laughed at all your accidental deaths, and intentional ones. :D I know for me it is amusing to look back on them but at the time I was upset.

    Actually, my first sims died when the unmodded game decided that they didn't exist anymore and loaded an empty house.

    But the first time there was a real death onscreen, one of my sims was in the path of a meteor. I'd just saved, so I figured it would be interesting to see what happened. Of course, I didn't save the result.

    I had some kind of weird hangup about sim death--refused to allow it in 2--so I decided to rip the band-aid off by playing a house with an elder in it and letting the game take its course.

    Actually, none of my own sims have died. One girl died and came back to life before I took control of her but I didn't see it. My first real experienced "Sims 3 death" was actually two of them back to back.

    I was playing my first ever save.

    There were twin sisters and they were celebrities. They lived in a fancy penthouse apartment with a hottub on the balcony. They had a butler. Hottub broke. She tried to fix it-she died.

    Then they got a new butler. Until the stereo broke.

    Haunting Curse backfire.

    I recently had a sim child drown. I kept him snorkeling in the public pool and totally forgot about him. By the time I was trying to call him home I realized he had fatigued out and then it was too late.

    Fortunately both sims had death flowers.

    jelly bean plant or cow plant
    Jelly-bean bush. It was my very first Sim, a male Witch, based loosely on mad Uncle Andrew from C. S. Lewis' The Magician's Nephew. I was in Moonlight Falls, and taking him to the Alchemy consignment shop to get his supplies and things to start practicing, and saw the jelly-bean bush in the back. I thought, "What fun!" and had him pick one. He died immediately. I have never trusted the jelly-bean bush since. Didn't know about Ghosts or their rarity and anyway wanted to play a Witch, so quit without saving.

    Second Sim death was a Fairy live-in boyfriend, attempting to repair a stereo. Got shocked & singed. While I was focusing on my other Sim, he autonomously attempted the repair again. ZOT! Dead! x.X By then I did know about Ghosts, and let him stay dead. But it was years before I worked out how to get him unstuck from "ex-boyfriend" to continue his romance with my Sim as a Ghost Fairy.

    Old age.

    After losing pregnant mother after mother in Sims 2, I try to stay away from having pregnant sims in Sims 3. Luckily, I haven't had any accidental deaths. Fires have been a problem but no one has died. I think deaths are harder in the Sims 3, but I only have Generations and University expansion packs and that could be why they don't easily die.

    fire
    I left my sim unattended for a few minutes and came back and they'd perished in a fire. I wish I could say I learned pretty quickly to not leave sims alone, but I still do it all the time. Only one has ever died as a result.

    Try as I might I cannot get a Sim to die from eating jelly beans. With one, after 10 jelly beans in a row I gave up.

    meteor srike or mummy's curse
    I did not even know that meteorites existed in the sim world, though in hindsight, I ignored all the signs. It just sort of fell on them and killed nearly everyone at the swimming pool. I was curious to see the outcome, so I continued playing a while before quitting without saving.

    My first sim death would have been old age. I have not had any accidental deaths unless a sim got on my nerves, but that wouldn't really count as an accident since I made sure they repaired something electrical while standing in a puddle with no handiness skill :p

    I've gotten that notification about a shadow before! I was wondering what it meant because nothing happened afterward-

    But that makes sense that nothing happened now because I modded meteorites out of my game when I first got the expansion they came with. I was not taking any chances. My family apparently would've died once, had I not.

    Weird that I've still seen that notification...but nothing came of it, so whatever :D

    I can barely remember what happened last week let alone what happened almost 9 years ago :lol:
    It was probably old age though. I knew enough about death from TS2 to not let my sims anywhere near a broken object without having handiness skills.

    drowning
    My first and only death in Sims 3 was me drowning a Sim I didn't like. He was the sworn enemy of a pre-made Sim I liked, and not even his bio had anything good to say about him. On top of that, he had also been cheating on his own wife with my Sim's wife and a couple of others. To date, he remains the only Sim I have ever killed, in my 6 years of playing this game.

    meteor srike or mummy's curse
    So, when Generations came out I sent my family's teens, a brother and a sister, to the prom. There I was reading the messages about them having a great time. The brother had just been crowned prom king and the sister's date had just asked her to go steady. Then suddenly "the sky grew dark." I had never seen that message before and had no idea what was going on. "Is this a part of the prom?" I wondered. Lol. Suddenly, Boom! A meteor crashes down and hits the school. Both of my kids' dates died.

    I was like "well that was entertaining, but I'm not saving." :lol:

    Is there such a thing as "Death By Way of the Player Being Too Kind to Them" -- sort of like sims exploding from being too happy, or would that be a feature of a different version of this game? >:)
