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, too, have this problem, but when I added the townie to my household, then had my mermaid drown her it depleted all needs to red and then she drowned (took 24 hours or there abouts lol) but I tried for several days prior to that with her still as a Sulani native townie and she wouldn't drown on her own.
I play vanilla game
Hi @crinrict I tried for several days straight to kill her when she was a townie (repeating Sirens Call, then dragging her under, and then calling the sea monster (can't remember then command name) and she eventually left and went ashore and just disappeared (looked like she may have been going to work??). I had already written my storyline so she HAD to die at my mermaid's hand lol so … I had to add her to my household, where I did one set of Siren's call then dragging her under then the sea monster (I had been told by someone else that doing it repeatedly may indeed restore some of their needs by default) where she took around 8 hours to die by drowning rather than the mermaid directly, but these 3 actions did reduce her needs substantially to the red. I don't think she was part of the families there, I'll have to check but she had short red/brown hair, slightly overweight and my mermaid had caught her poaching once.
