I play with ageing off, and I age characters up in their own good time. Is there a way (mechanically and socially) to pass away of old age when the time is right?
I'm pretty sure birthday cake doesn't do it, and there is no deathday cake.
I'm curious to see how to do it, and how to do it well. My Sims tend to keel over suddenly from disasters, but it'd be nice to give a Sim a happy final day and a peaceful end. Neither cheating them dead nor drowning them feels quite right, so I'm hoping the game has a proper option.
(I'd take a Death Party/'Surrounded by their family' GP or mod if they exist).
Also, same question but for pets.

Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
Before sending him or her outside, you might look into his or her relationship to make sure somebody can bring the urn back to the home of the sims.
During a heat wave (or a vey hot day) you can dress a sim in winterwear and go outside. The sim will die from over heating.
On a freezing cold day you can dress a sim in hot wear and go outside. The sim will freeze to death.
Both these methods are rather quick, but you will need to watch the to stop them from leaving to help their needs.
These days I simply set their hunger to zero (I use mod UI Cheat for this), and they will fall to the ground immediately. Death by starving will follow them in your family tree, but hey-ho, who cares
I wish there was an easy way to do it.
I also wish there was a way to have birthdays without eating all those cakes...
You don't have to eat the cake to blow out the candles and age up. My current household had a Sim who mastered the culinary career track (food doesn't spoil); they've been using the same cake for every birthday for over a year of game time.

Edit: it's death flower scented arrangements that do this.
I don't mind cakes in RL, but in this game there are so many things to do and so little time to do it...
I sort of like the idea of a non-death exit for sims. If a sim could turn into a tree and be planted forever, or turn to stone, not dead to mourn, but ever-present and timeless...
A less horrible end for sims who have had their time, unwanted children, the grandparents who have lost their storytelling lustre.
Maybe I just don't like to kill someone who represents 20 or 30 hours of development and care. If they could somehow be immortalised as something more personal than a gravestone, but less attention-grabbing than ghost, that would be ideal. I guess a vampire can hibernate for months and years. Maybe that's what I want: glorious storage!
Do this if you really want the game to show that they died from old age.
I wish it was added through patch to the unmodded game...
