Im having trouble successfully killing a sim with a rocket ship. I am wondering if it is possibly bugged. I asked on the officials and no one confirmed they had done this successfully. one other simmer was also trying to do this, without success.http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/13313314#Comment_1331331I have tried in at least three different games.Two of those game had no mods. Final game use three of shimrods fix it miss ( fewer elders, musical chairs, CAS fix it)Each sims has no rocket skill when they start. The ship has fruit stuffed in it, which makes it crash. The ship crashes but the message every time is ' any crash you can walk away from' . I've also tried with needs low. There is supposed to be a chance that the sim catches on fire but they never have in my game.

I've gotten word that this is currently working as designed. Sims aren't supposed to be able to be killed by rocket ship.

[BY DESIGN] Sims never get killed by fire after rocket crash

No idea really.

I'll try asking around but for me, I have troubles with other methods of killing Sims that work for others all the time (like woohoo) so really don't know what's going on.

Thanks crinrict, really appreciate it. It's part of the legacy challenge. I've managed to do the 10 other deaths, but the woohoo was really weird. At first, it wouldn't let me re- woohoo to become overexerted, the option was blanked out. For some reason, and not sure if I could do it again, it let me re woohoo on the observatory, so the sim died. All a bit strange really.

Bit unsure how proceed with this atm since it's unclear if it's a bug or just bad luck. Haven't seen anyone complain about it but then again, maybe not many people know about it.

Do you still get answers in that thread of yours on the official forum ?

Thanks crinrict, on the officials, no one confirmed they had killed a sim with a rocket shop. One person was also having the same problem as me. Not a lot of responses. Thanks for asking around.

The same happens in my game. The ship crashes, but my Sims put out the fire very easily. They already crashed so many times I can’t count and with different Sims. I’ve tried to make them stunned before entering the rocket ship, but it didn’t help as well.

It's a simple Death by fire, right ?

I've never had my rocket crash so far so I can't speak from experience but I'm a bit on the fence on adding this to a bug list.

Have you tried discussing it at the official forum ? Like not make it a bug report but collect experience from other players ?

Oh, yes! I did that! And at the official forums many people have the same problem. I checked at both forums: at the brasilian (becouse I'm from Brazil) and at the american one, at both I found the same results.

I really don't know if t you can really die this way. Sims are hard to kill in Sims 4

There is no unique death type for "die by rocket ship" or anything like that. A rocket ship crash will cause a fire, which can of course kill your Sims, just like any other fire created via any other means. There should be nothing special about the rocket ship fire, compared to other fires, as far as I know.

Hi @SimGuruNick

I've tested this and it's just that they put it out VERY quickly (patting on the fire and it's gone) so that there's never really a real fire, hence no death.

Chances seem very slim that you Sim actually dies ... but that seems to be the case anywhere.
