How did your first Sims 3 death happen or the first accidental killing of your own sim?

Sims 3 was my first sims game and I was completely shocked when I electrocuted my sim and the Grim Reaper showed up. I was bummed out since they were the only sim in the household and had to start another new game. Previously I had tried a game for a little while where my sim got singed while working at the science lab and all it took to fix her was to take a shower. So when my sim had showered after trying to fix the broken dish washer I sent her right back at it. The second time she got shocked Grimmy showed up with his dramatic music. I was wondering what the h---.

My second sim death was old age.

My second accidental killing of my own sim was drowning. I just wanted her to swim a little longer to level up her athletics. :)

My only intentional killing of my sim was drowning for my "Emily and the Ghost" story. I hated it. I almost cried since I was so attached to my vampire, intended ghost.

Starvation. But not my fault! All my Sim's needs were up to the max, I left him fishing while I went to check on another Sim in the household. Two seconds later get a pop-up message that "my Sim has died on another lot"!
What? I couldn't believe it.

Dang Dishwasher ... :D

I generally don't have sims die. I send them to the great nursing home (library) or stop playing when I feel that I've played out their story, or it is so laggy I get cranky about it.

The first in game death was after I got IP and my sim rebuilt that trashed resort in IP. Sims started visiting and a little girl stayed too long in the pool. I tried to send my sim to help her, get her out of the pool. I did not use mods and didn't know about 'reset sim' at the time. She died and it was awful. Quit without saving. I did not even know a child could die like that. I figured the AI would make them get out before they were fatigued.

Oh wait, you said accidential... ;)

Starvation. I was trying out the testingcheats cheat and lowered the hunger motive a bit too far :lol:
Later, after I got the Late Night EP, I wanted to test how much the vampires are immortal and did the same thing with the thirst motive...

EDIT: typo

Meteor strike! :D It was the first time I played in Twinbrook. My sim was on a date with Goodwin Goode and they were stargazing together. I didn't even know about meteors, at the time, and I probably ignored the pop-up message about a shadow because it was nighttime. After it hit, I think I sat there stunned! I had no idea what had just happened! :D

I'm sorry but I laughed at all your accidental deaths, and intentional ones. :D I know for me it is amusing to look back on them but at the time I was upset.

Actually, my first sims died when the unmodded game decided that they didn't exist anymore and loaded an empty house.

But the first time there was a real death onscreen, one of my sims was in the path of a meteor. I'd just saved, so I figured it would be interesting to see what happened. Of course, I didn't save the result.

I had some kind of weird hangup about sim death--refused to allow it in 2--so I decided to rip the band-aid off by playing a house with an elder in it and letting the game take its course.
