Overheating and Meteor Death are missing too. @Kittybass @Veemo8
I think the perfect solution to this issue is for EA to make all death type traits available for all ages via cheats. (That means using cheats to make the sim a ghost with that trait). And adding meteorite, Overheating, pufferfish and freezing to child ghosts in cas.
@Veemo8 - Agreed. Death types are a storytelling element. They shouldn't be limited. I tried adding freezing back to mine with a cheat and it didn't work. Unless they change it, my story for the family is completely ruined. It's our Sims, our stories, let us tell them how we want.
This is sort of happening to me too. I'm playing a legacy household and some of the sims died generations ago are showing up as still "alive" as homeless sims in world. They were younger ones that died due to some accident, like pufferfish. Their graves are in a cemetery I made ages ago. I kept their connection to the world because it's a legacy and I'm trying to keep the family tree togther. They're most definitely dead, but they are showing up as available to join groups, show up at lots.
@gooochyeeechildren can’t die be meteor, but they can by overheating. (This is from memory, I could be wrong)
