Sims are now able to drown again if you do not have Island Living installed! How were we able to survive without this? Either way, back to drowning!
Fixed in Patch 1.55.105
I'm having this issue as well. I created two new sims, so that I could have a household of 8 ghosts. Neither of them would drown, even though their energy bar had gone all the way to zero. This worked previously with four other sims, but it suddenly won't work with these two. I thought maybe it was because they were brand new sims, and they can't die the day that they're "born" and maybe they were socializing with each other too much. I tried again with one of them, the energy bar went down to zero, and she didn't die. Now, the "starve to death" bar has also gone down to zero, and she still won't die! I don't have any mods either, so I'm not sure why it's happening.

You could be correct about the time it takes between "birth" and drowning to death. I tested the Sim provided by @dorifto96 in an existing save with no luck after a couple days. Today I placed the same Sim (with a second household member) in a brand new save.
Started on Sunday and by Monday evening he had drowned.
Even though this is now my topic, I think I could ask this here.
Is it normal that NPC's can't be killed outside the limits of a lot?
I was testing a mod I created for making the "Siren's Call" deadly, nothing complicated or new, it just deplets the energy need so the sims drown. When I use it inside the limits of a lot, I can kill NPC sims with no problem, but when I try to kill a NPC outside the limits of a lot... the sim doesn't die.
If I use it with a sim that is part of my household, everything works as expected and the sim dies.
Thanks in advance for your help.
@Marquillotuca89 For mod-related questions, it's best to ask on a forum where mod creators post and exchange ideas. Mod the Sims is one. This site doesn't support mods, as in, there's no direct help for them, so there's not much that other players can suggest in the way of troubleshooting.
