This thread is hilarious!! I'm really pulling for you. I hate having elders in my games. (I hope they bring back the lifespan sliders. I'd like to shorten my elder phase and maximize my teen and young adult phases.)
Those "old" bodybuilders are tough. Peter Lupus the guy that played in the original TV series "Mission Impossible" in 1960s broke the world weightlifting endurance recored by lifting 77,560 lbs. in 24 minutes 50 seconds at age 75.
The second time is usually the charm with the cowplant, both sims of mine that eventually died got spit out at first, hope the next time is more productive
So, day breaks and our victim heads to work. Just a normal day.. the sun is shining, son is at home playing some violin with his wife in the kitchen making some food.
Then...
ALL of a sudden he shows up, in the driveway.. halfway through his shift...
Like some Babe Ruth wanna-be pointing out a home run....
but...?
"ugh... so many years... I've lived a good life.. it's time to head towards the light!"
Good Ol' Reaper shows up on my front lawn
In his whispy, ethereal voice he beckons "It is time"
Oh no... You've gotta be kidding me? After all this time I spent, all the hair pulling, all the WooHoo'ing... you think I'm gonna let you off with NATURAL death???
You've got another thing coming....
The Reaper must be just as sadistic as me.. for he grants my plea!! (As is this random lady who showed up outta nowhere.. I expected her to bring PopCorn like some cheesy Michael Jackson meme...)
Spaced my founding parents out. He's an adult, shes a young adult. He will die, she will live, their boys will take care of her, she will take care of the boys' kids in return. You know.... family play..

No sooner does Death leave my door step... I see something in the distance...
What is that? Is that what I think it is???
The Cow Plant know's what it must do!!!
Back inside, trying to recouperate from his death-like-near-death experience.. our victim sits, eating some nice, fresh salad..
He is soon joined by his Son and his Daughter-in-Law, who are so happy he is back with the family. They were so scared for a minute...
Moment's later, as he stands up to do his little musical chair thingy and clean up.. he hears it...
a faint sound... one he's heard before
the muffled, mooing sound
He tries to keep his composure.. but he knows if his son walks out that door, it may be the last time he see's him.. He must stop this plant...
He steps outside, and with one quick look over his shoulder to be sure he wasn't followed, he heads towards the plant
"Mr. CowPlant.. this has to stop.. How did you even get cake in the first place?"
"I can't have you taunting people like this... imagine if one of my grand kids came out here and saw you with this cake.."
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to need to take that from you.. and this time.. NO funny business... You hear me?"
He reaches for the cake... hoping beyond hope that the plant has had enough of him.. what with regurgitating him last time..
BUT! In the blink of an eye.. before I even had a chance.. it was done
You thought you were going to get away so easily..
You thought after weeks of tormenting me.. wondering WHEN??
But.. tis I who get's the last laugh....
Funny.. how the Grandson.. in his purple socks (Don't judge him, he's unique.. darnit)... seems to not have a care in the world and is just like "Uh, what just happened?"
The Reaper.. back yet again.. breaks character for a moment "Wait.. Wasn't I just here?? What kinda junk are you guys pulling?"
He shrugs, and get's back to business.
"Yup.. this is the guy.. Sorry, but there'll be no take-backseys this time"
The Reaper takes what is his...
.. and the Cow Plant glows with happiness! Good Cowplant!
The Family is left to mourn.. but they will live.. for they have not brought about the WRATH OF THE COWPLANT!!!!
And this.. Ladies and Gents.. brings us to the Moral of the Story...
Why do you want to kill the poor man?
Just make him into a townie and let the poor guy die peacefully whenever it happens.
Move him out of his house, and then choose a lot that he cannot afford. After that press x and he will become a townie. After sometime he will be dead.
Everything I post is an opinion here and I think every post of others is as well.
Did you try woohooing twice in a row? A streamer on twitch had his sim woohoo a younger sim townie twice in a row and his sim got up and died
I guess you haven't read the whole thread? Let me update you, I've WooHoo'd as many as 10 times in a row so far LOL I've even done so after working out and pushing the limits. This guy is The Incredible Hulk...
I read the thread title, initial post and all I could see was that guy from MP's Holy Grail during the "Bring out your dead" day. "I'm not dead yet!" "You're not fooling anyone!" "I'm gettin bettah!" "Can't you just...do something?" and then @Chris41279 smacks him over the head...
sorry if someone else has already mentioned this... but if you have the long lived trait your elder is REALLY hard to knock off. When you are ready for them to die turn your testing cheats on then do "traits.remove_trait longevity". Once you put that in they should die within a day or 2

Our unsuspecting victim is still in the middle of his Fireplace Channel Marathon until he thinks he hears a noise outside
He steps outside in hopes of finding the source of the weird, muffled mooing
Walking around the house, he notices the Cow Plant seems to be offering something...
"What's this? Cake?"
"For me? You shouldn't have Mr. CowPlant"
Drooling all over himself, our victim takes the bait!!
and all too quickly, regrets it!!
"Wait! NO MR. COWPLANT!! NOOOOOO!" his screams muffle as he's swallowed whole by our creature of destruction!
My happiness is cut short though, as our victim doesn't seem to settle well with our Harbinger of Death!
"What in the world!"
"Not cool, Mr. Cowplant"
"Not cool... how am I to ever get this slobber out of my clothes?"
Grrr... Next time! NEXT TIME I WILL SMITE YOU DOWN!!!

Now.. YOU WILL DIE ON MY TERMS...

FEAR THE REAPER!
FEAR THE COWPLANT!
AND
DIE WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PLUMIT!
Pretty sure they said they tried 10 times in a row and he didn't die earlier in the thread.
