I love a crazy story from The Sims. So I made this Friends-Style house with 4 males and 4 females. I used that crazy lady that is evil from the premade sims bin. She has the Evil trait, so naturally I...

But then I tried to kill a teenager by fire, and it was harder than I expected... I used the trick of leaving food on the oven for this one. Or rather, this three. I have to put spoilers because it's so many pictures.
Attempt 1/3: Three tables around the oven. Result: She just resumes cooking and then walks outside of the table "trap" with a perfect plate of food.
Attempt 2/3: Walls instead of tables. She sits on a chair. Technically no way to continue cooking. Result: She just gets up from the chair and walks between the burning oven and the walls. Then extinguishes the fire.
Attempt 3/3a: I technically made the stove a room, so there is no escape. She gets a park bench to take a nap on while she is burning. As you can see, I'm annoyed of her survival skills by now. Result: She can't get up to die (routing error?), so she just decides to survive again. While the rest is burning down until the fire even vanishes on its own. Her butt being on fire counts as a fire having broken out, so I can't use build/buy mode.
Attempt 3/3b: I use the "AlwaysAllowBuildBuy true" cheat (that I had to search on my phone for this) to even let anything happen in the game. There weren't any cheats used previously, except for the money used to create the house. I delete the walls around her and cancel the action of sitting on the bench. No response still, so I do a bit of "testingcheatsenabled true" and object-delete the bench. She doesn't even care. And yes, her butt is still on fire.
I use "resetsim" and she appears near the front door, then finally dies. The rest of the household (minus the guy who drowned) gathers around her burnt remains.

The interesting thing is that the game gave her the name Lynette Nopens. So I like to think that she always said "Nope death, not today!" when each of my attempts failed. Lynette is also a rather major part of the story I planned for the living family that's gonna live there after they all died. So I enjoyed having to kill her the hard way, that makes her much more special to me. As an opposite example, the drowning Sim just shaked hands with the Grim Reaper and happily went away, while Lynette was clinging on to life so much I had to use godly powers to get rid of her.
Well, that was one heck of a ride from start to finish XD and that name! Nopens! Sometimes I truly wonder if the game likes to mess with us on purpose.
@TinySpaceFox There are hilarious examples in the German last names too. Like "Schwupp" (like the "poof" effect when something vanishes) and "Pfosten" (literally translated: pole; but also used as a word for someone who is dumb). But Nopens is the best one I've seen so far in the English(?) list :D
The Sim who drowned had the last name Grasnick. In German there is the saying "ins Gras beissen" (to bite into the grass) which means dying. So it was fitting perfectly for his purpose, which was to just die.
