Using birthday cake for elder Sims to pass away with aging off.

I don't know if anyone else has thought of this. I play rotation with aging off and age up my Sims when it seems appropriate usually by birthday cakes. Now although I could simply kill off the elders, I prefer not to do this. I think it would be nice to have the elder Sims use a birthday cake which would switch "aging on" to allow them to pass away...if that makes sense. The other Sims would have aging off but the Elder Sims that blew out the candles would pass away at some point as if the aging was turned on for them. I don't know if anyone else would like this feature, but it sure would come in handy for me.

  • I play with aging off also. My elder Sims usually die after woohoo or going jogging, telling jokes etc.

    The other night when I was playing my Sims were having a party and the last time I seen my Sims' elderly uncle alive he was making a drink and conversing with party guests. I was too busy with party goals to notice the very playful mood and the jokes must have been flowing because he died and was too far gone to plead for his life even if I wanted to. By the time I moved back over to the to see what was going on there was already an urn. I only know he died a hysterical death is because of the notification.

    IMO I don't think they need to change things in the game. Emotions already do in enough Sims.
  • I haven't had any of the accidental emotion deaths that others have had the misfortune of. The Sims that I do want to pass on are extremely hearty, if you follow me. In my case, I'm looking for something more "simple" such as the cake since I really have to try to have a Sim die from exhaustion or from emotions. I just don't have it in me because I start feeling a bit guilty when I start pushing them to that point.
  • If you're to go out, then go out partying! A good motto...

    But yes, I like the idea of the cake. It would give us some more control over things.
