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

Actually, none of my own sims have died. One girl died and came back to life before I took control of her but I didn't see it. My first real experienced "Sims 3 death" was actually two of them back to back.

I was playing my first ever save.

There were twin sisters and they were celebrities. They lived in a fancy penthouse apartment with a hottub on the balcony. They had a butler. Hottub broke. She tried to fix it-she died.

Then they got a new butler. Until the stereo broke.

Haunting Curse backfire.

I recently had a sim child drown. I kept him snorkeling in the public pool and totally forgot about him. By the time I was trying to call him home I realized he had fatigued out and then it was too late.

Fortunately both sims had death flowers.

Old age.

After losing pregnant mother after mother in Sims 2, I try to stay away from having pregnant sims in Sims 3. Luckily, I haven't had any accidental deaths. Fires have been a problem but no one has died. I think deaths are harder in the Sims 3, but I only have Generations and University expansion packs and that could be why they don't easily die.

I left my sim unattended for a few minutes and came back and they'd perished in a fire. I wish I could say I learned pretty quickly to not leave sims alone, but I still do it all the time. Only one has ever died as a result.

Jelly-bean bush. It was my very first Sim, a male Witch, based loosely on mad Uncle Andrew from C. S. Lewis' The Magician's Nephew. I was in Moonlight Falls, and taking him to the Alchemy consignment shop to get his supplies and things to start practicing, and saw the jelly-bean bush in the back. I thought, "What fun!" and had him pick one. He died immediately. I have never trusted the jelly-bean bush since. Didn't know about Ghosts or their rarity and anyway wanted to play a Witch, so quit without saving.

Second Sim death was a Fairy live-in boyfriend, attempting to repair a stereo. Got shocked & singed. While I was focusing on my other Sim, he autonomously attempted the repair again. ZOT! Dead! x.X By then I did know about Ghosts, and let him stay dead. But it was years before I worked out how to get him unstuck from "ex-boyfriend" to continue his romance with my Sim as a Ghost Fairy.

Try as I might I cannot get a Sim to die from eating jelly beans. With one, after 10 jelly beans in a row I gave up.

Pit Monster :D have the door of life & death, was trying to get it on with Grim & insisted he answer the door one too many times...lol

I did not even know that meteorites existed in the sim world, though in hindsight, I ignored all the signs. It just sort of fell on them and killed nearly everyone at the swimming pool. I was curious to see the outcome, so I continued playing a while before quitting without saving.

My first sim death would have been old age. I have not had any accidental deaths unless a sim got on my nerves, but that wouldn't really count as an accident since I made sure they repaired something electrical while standing in a puddle with no handiness skill :p

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've gotten that notification about a shadow before! I was wondering what it meant because nothing happened afterward-

But that makes sense that nothing happened now because I modded meteorites out of my game when I first got the expansion they came with. I was not taking any chances. My family apparently would've died once, had I not.

Weird that I've still seen that notification...but nothing came of it, so whatever :D
