Death and Danger in The Sims 4!

I would kind of like it to be easier to have sims accidentally die. It rarely happens in my Sims 4 game.

One sec, let me gather up all my stories of danger and accidental deaths that aren't called "Death by old age" in Sims 4 Crickets chirp as a tumbleweed rolls by.

I want more danger and accidental deaths it makes the sims games more fun
part of the fun of the sims games is not knowing whats gonna happen

This is why I love the Meteor Attacks in Sims 3. They rarely happened but when they did, mass catastrophe! I have had sims die of embarrassment before but never of hysteria or anger.

Death badly needs an overhaul. Since launch I’ve had two unnatural deaths. I.e wasn’t from old age. But this is a game that nerfed alien abductions so I’m not expecting any great advances in this score.

Ditto with danger. I want danger in my sims lives, I want burglars and an unsavourily charlatan character back and when my sim with no handiness skill whatsoever fixes her broken fuse box perfectly I cringe. It shouldn’t be that simple every time, there should be a risk there.

they should make a GP named Death & Danger, TS4 would need both badly as gameplay content, won't probably happen though because Teen rating reads Baby for EA :lol:

TS4 is the least about danger from them all, maybe danger of being bored to death ? :wink:
or danger to freak out because of the bugs or because of all the autonomous non-icon choices those sims are programmed to do ? :joy:
of the painfull death of this franchise ? :trollface:

I'm all for that. I have to use mods to make my game more difficult and dangerous. A GP from Maxis themselves on adding danger to the Sims 4 would be more than welcome.

Yes, please! As I said in the other thread, having at least three ways to bring dead sims back to life when it's so unlikely that anyone will ever die of anything other than old age is a little ridiculous. I'm especially displeased with how illness is handled in TS4: It's basically just an annoying uncomfortable moodlet that shows up way too often, but with little to no consequence. In TS2, an illness could actually get worse and even kill the sim if left untreated.

I voted for the Danger SP in last year's survey, but in hindsight I'm glad it didn't win, because I feel a stuff pack with a few new dangerous objects just isn't enough to give us what we want. We need an overhaul of gameplay mechanics like illness and random accidents, maybe add a habitable underworld with ghost townies while you're at it, and you'll have enough to justify making it a GP.

I would love that, I even voted for Death and Danger! But the moment I saw it was that against laundry, I kissed DD goodbye...I'm not criticizing though, I can see the appeal of laundry too.

This is true. I like the light-tone and the humour of this game, but the "it's all to keep the T rate" excuse is something I don't buy anymore, not when there's a lot of shows rated for teens that have far more adult-ish content than this game ever will.

Since lol it is a teen rated game and yeah I totally agree and I miss some of the karma powers in the Sims. But yeah since it is teen rated game maybe they could come up with a "Mayhem" pack on the lighter note of death and danger. It could be a rockstars and mayhem pack. They could come up with a super heros sim pack or have a super hero/villain sim city new location and all in CAS where as you can create vampires or have to be a vampire or alien to have super powers you can create a super hero or villain sim and they will have a select power or whatever and incorporate into that and also they would be able to stop alien abductions maybe. I know that once seasons comes out that will be off everyones shoulders but its kind of ridiculous to give "hints" to a much needed more worldly elemental pack but when the announcement comes out( even though I am a fan of all things sim and still excited) I think that seasons is a pretty crucial point and was a given after the cats & dogs pack. How long will my sims have to go without rain? And this is just my opinion but I would rather them be working on one seasons pack than to go and be working on laundry and vacations( or expedition or whatever it is) next. How much do they value their loyal fans over the years? Because being "apart' of the creation of a new pack like laundry is awesome and their whole angle on that was its more real life and it draws a fine line between the types of sims players well I think snow is pretty life like too and you you guys gave hints! Come on! but the classy long time simmers and especially since all these hints were dropped and figuring the two new packs are supposed to come out this winter and most packs are released in the later year like a lot of games are then that means we will then have to wait through the next year for seasons and that just freaking sucks. Sims 4 is almost "complete" but not "complete complete" if you know what I mean as far as the "most necessary" packs and things go. A lot needs to be done but I would rather have fun brainstorming and guessing about future packs after seasons comes. And then their is university of course. I just want EA to help themselves and produce the seasons because (rain and snow and weather must be a pack and not included ya get it how EA rolls and profits which is fine if they choose I know) but waiting years and years after the base game and "not including" certain things and waiting to incorporate them into the game... this is whats giving EA a bad name and customers and fan base unhappy. I did not get the base game right away and got it after the toddlers update and all. How could they not put toddlers in at first? What exactly do they sit around and actually talk about and brainstorm the game. People will wait a little longer for quality rather than rushing to shelves and getting bad ratings and taking losses.
