I've spotted a problem with the eating contest. If a sim begins to either vomit or spit out food during one, their hunger bar suddenly drops to zero, putting them in severe danger of dying.
Actually had it happen during one of my teen's first date with his girlfriend. Figured I'd send the date to the Autumn Festival, things were going great, took a greeting card, then they happened to meet up with two of their friends, so I had the four do an apple bobbing contest. Lots of fun, happy teen sims. So i figured have them do the pie eating contest. All was going great, pie all over their faces, fun and laughter...then suddenly, horror! One of the teen friends spits out some food, starts complaining of starvation, then promptly keels over dead. Aha, I think, my teen is a great chess player, so i challenge the Reaper to a game of chess for his friends's life...but alas, Ol Death would rather go grab a snowcone.
Death by starvation during an eating contest...
Oddly, turned out to be a brilliant date for my sim despite the disaster.
So, just to let people know, *SAVE YOUR GAME* before doing any of the eating contests, or you might end up with dead sims.

So has anyone been able to save their sim by using a cheat and dragging their hunger level to green?
I'm getting it too, might as well write it down in a notebook.. :roll:
Yes, I was able to do this with a sim. I had him do an eating contest not long after I had first gotten Seasons and I noticed his hunger bar was rapidly falling. One of the mods I have always has testing cheats enabled (thankfully!), so I was able to quickly drag his hunger bar back up, saving him from the brink of death! I'm not sure if this is a huge glitch or not, but it's not fun.
Sorry about your sim
others have had their sims die from the eating contests, but so far i guess i am lucky i have not had this happen.
No but I would suggest only doing the contest if your sim is hungry. I haven't had any troubles with death when they are hungry, just went they are already full hunger bar and then they start to throw up. Lol.

I think this is supposed to be death by choking. (eating too fast) I've had this happen to my sim too.
I'll keep this in mind.
Unless this is what EA meant to do, they really need to fix it. I enjoy the eating contest a lot.
Yeah, the same thing with me. Although I got it yesterday.
