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

I can barely remember what happened last week let alone what happened almost 9 years ago :lol:
It was probably old age though. I knew enough about death from TS2 to not let my sims anywhere near a broken object without having handiness skills.

My first and only death in Sims 3 was me drowning a Sim I didn't like. He was the sworn enemy of a pre-made Sim I liked, and not even his bio had anything good to say about him. On top of that, he had also been cheating on his own wife with my Sim's wife and a couple of others. To date, he remains the only Sim I have ever killed, in my 6 years of playing this game.

So, when Generations came out I sent my family's teens, a brother and a sister, to the prom. There I was reading the messages about them having a great time. The brother had just been crowned prom king and the sister's date had just asked her to go steady. Then suddenly "the sky grew dark." I had never seen that message before and had no idea what was going on. "Is this a part of the prom?" I wondered. Lol. Suddenly, Boom! A meteor crashes down and hits the school. Both of my kids' dates died.

I was like "well that was entertaining, but I'm not saving." :lol:

Is there such a thing as "Death By Way of the Player Being Too Kind to Them" -- sort of like sims exploding from being too happy, or would that be a feature of a different version of this game? >:)

Not sure which was first actually, but I had two memorable deaths early on, both related to WA play. A female sim I had just made and really liked got squished by a meteor in Shang Simla, and a male sim died of mummy's curse before I figured out any way to deal with it. He was a single sim household, so that was kind of the end of that one.

Edited to add: I do know the meteors were added with Ambitions, but I still kind of think it occurred before the mummy's curse in my game. I may have bought them together or close together anyway - I was usually behind with expansion purchases early on.

It was from when I started in TS2 and didn't know enough to not have stoves in houses when my sims had no cooking skill at all as I was starting in Sims 2.I never had stoves in starter homes with unskilled sims since then.
My first TS3 death was Claire Ursine while I was with my own family and I didn't know that the social worker took her baby away in that save until it started showing signs of save corruption and I had to quit when it threw a serious error while I was saving after careers got messed up.

I cannot remember my first death in TS3 and that might have not even been an accident anyway!

But I remember when University Life was released and I had a rebel Sim rant bout death with the megaphone and he then got killed. That really took me by surprise! :no_mouth:

I had a sim in the Singer career and was still an incredible newbie player and she ended up setting herself on fire during a sing-o-gram and I had no idea how to get her to put herself out so she died. I quit without saving. Ended up happening to her again and I quit without saving and didn’t let her do that type again lol. Now a days I’d roll with the death and not quit.

My first sim married Leighton Sekemoto and Sam and Yumi moved in with them. Yumi then died of old age one day. I was pretty shook up, even though I was expecting it.

My first accidental death was starvation of a vampire - he stayed out in the sun too long, then he went to bed without eating. He had a death flower, though.

I took great care of my sims and guaranteed to have all their basic needs fulfilled and wishes granted. I let them live in great comfort.

My first sim died of old age and of course I missed her very much and that's probably why I've seldom played with ageing on ever since.
