I wish sims could die of illness in sims 4

I panicked when I thought my sim contracted STD not long after woohoo. I never played much with GTW So I never actually had seen sickness until then. Soooooo.... Idw I don't think I wanna see sims die from illness. Just feels a lil too uncanny valley. But I do want some kind of consequence. I'm just unsure what exactly.

The absence of real illness first appeared in TS3. To me it was just a shortcut and made the game less than it could have been. Before that all you had to do was take care of your Sim. There is no challenge in the game now. You don't even have to do anything in TS4. I had a Sim get the "stripes" illness and all I did was send her to bed because she was sleepy. The next morning she was fine. That just shows more evidence of how superficial this game is.

And this isn't directed at anyone...I just want to remark that I find it amazing that people keep saying they want a real life simulator or they want the Sims to reflect real life. What I see written here is not that many want a real life simulator, they want a happy, happy, la-la simulator with no consequences, death, illness or anything else to disrupt anything.
