For some reason I can't seem to learn my lesson about letting the game run while not paying attention. This time I was letting the game run while I sat in front of the computer playing with my cell phone. I had 3 sims swimming at the time and I directed them to go for a swim. I had the game running at normal speed and everything was good. The camera was showing my second floor hallway where I had music playing. A minute or so later I can see out of the corner of my eye, the camera quickly pans over to the pool and one of my sims have drowned. It was that phase where the sim is dead, but that grim reaper thing hasn't happened yet. It is my favorite sim that was killed in the meteor incident a few weeks ago.
I am pretty sure in the past I would have sims in the pool and they would never drown. So no warning? He didn't attempt to get out of the pool or ask for help from the two sims swimming next to him? I shake my head and quit without saving.
I even had my speakers on loud so I can hear disaster music so I can intervene quickly. I guess that is not good enough. Take it from me folks, watch your game like a hawk!
