I've gotten word that this is currently working as designed. Sims aren't supposed to be able to be killed by rocket ship.
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
Tagging @SimGuruNick for more insight
EA Staff (Retired)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.
