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

death by drowning my sim wanted the rich life without working so hard. so like any true gold digger, she tricked some poor rich sim into marrying her he didnt make it past the honeymoon.

I originally had the sims 3 for wii and I had created my mom and I’s Simselves and built up our house quite a bit and then I just finished building and got into the game play and the first meal I had my mom cook caught on fire and instead of running to the lake next door or rolling to put out fire or anything similar she just stood there freaking out at the fire in front of her as if she wasn’t on fire. I had my simself run back to try to save her but by then it was too late, the grim came and then my sim caught on fire and I just quit XD that was ages ago yet I still don’t trust ovens/stoves. Every time my sims prepare a meal on the pc version I like to watch them like a hawk. I’ve yet to see a fire on ts3 on the PC ...other than one I started when trying to kill someone by fire in a 1x1 room with a fire place and rug

Man, I relate to you a lot xD I've never actually had anyone die from fire in my game, but I remember before I started playing TS3, I was reading up about all the ways Sims could die and how to prevent them. I was especially paranoid when it came to fires. In my early days of playing the game, a lot of the Sims I made had the Natural Cook trait because I was just so scared that they'd start a fire otherwise. Nowadays I don't use that trait as much. I just make my Sims live off autumn salad and PB&J until they can afford the expensive fireproof stove. Guess that paranoia never fully went away :D Fortunately for them though, that phase doesn't last long, because the stove tends to be one of the first few household items to be replaced with a better version.

@TinySpaceFox lol I used to give them the natural cook trait all the time too, but then I just started playing with TCE and static needs, my houses turned into just party places and skill stuff so I got rid of stoves all together for a while XD I've just gotten back to actual game play with dynamic needs and my founder married a guy with the natural cook trait so he's like always cooking -_-

Oh boy, I had to think hard on this one because I honestly can't remember... :confused:

After a while of thinking I believe my first Sims 3 death was a fire. I love having the fire places lit. <3

And it definitely wasn't an accident. :cry:

I'm pretty sure it was repairing the TV. I figured my sim could do it cause they had a few handyness (handiness? Spell check doesn't like either way) skill points. They failed, but I'm no quitter, so I had them try again. I didn't understand that it was the being singed and failing that killed them, so I just avoided repairing objects from that point forward for awhile.

Am really not a fan of killing off my sims so most of mine die of old age after a long and happy life. Even then I tend to keep saved copies so I can play them again. :)

The most traumatic and avoidable death happened in TS2. Being new to the game I did not realise you needed both telephone and smoke detector for the fire brigade to arrive. Poor Patrick literally went up in smoke while his wife looked on in horror. I know much better now and all my houses come fitted with smoke alarms.

My very first family was decimated by a meteor strike. I had know idea that that could happen. I was stunned. It was a fabulous introduction to the Sims. First I cried and then I went out and bought my own copy of the game. I could not wait to play again.

Mine was actually probably in 2007 when I played Sims Bustin Out and made my sim jump off the high dive diving board repeatedly.

Sims 3... Fire most likely cause sims are dumb.
