Dying of embarassment, etc
Can you please make it so that sims dying of ridiculous stuff like this can be turned off in the game options menu? My favorite sims are happy and jokesters and love mischief and I had one sim die o...

The emotional states were the gimmick for this iteration of the game. It is interesting that your gameplay style always has Sims in a flirty or playful moods. I can honestly say that it takes me way too much effort as I never had a sim die from laughter. It would be nice to turn off that gimmick for story driven players.
Seriously, it always pops up for my sims to accept the cheerful trait because they are feeling happy and whatnot it says. My households are all friends or family and like many of the same things in general and the cheerful trait usually pops for most of them though I don't take it on all because I do different plans for many of them. I think this happens more often than not on my sims with the cheerful trait and it's like I don't wanna remove it because I feel like that goes again who they are naturally. I'm terrified every time I throw a gathering if they sit down to play the woohoo game because they will start laughing like crazy and I have to watch closely. They're just a fun loving, mischief making and joke telling group. I can't tell you how many times per sim day I have to make them run to a bathroom mirror and try to calm themselves down so they don't die. This last death, they were on side by side treadmills working out and joking with each other and next thing I know bam. I thought they were just flirty and I was pausing and decorating and totally missed it. So yeah, just would like to turn it off bc it's just too much when to me it messes everything up as I explained.
Like I said, it is your playstyle that put them in the dangerous mood. My own sims are usually just inspired or energized and for a majorityof the fltime the are "fine" with no emotional state. I have to actually work extremely hard to make them to the first level of playful. While I understand your own dilemma, what you are requesting is for them to disable the gimmick the game was based upon which is "current emotional state."
I didn't know about the gimmick so it was not what incentivized me to buy anything. I found out about these emotional states the hard way. I don't make my sims playful, they just get that way naturally from the every day things they do. My specific group of sims and households generally stay inspired, energized, flirty, focused or playful. And it can flip so fast I don't have time to notice and react. I'm not asking them to disable anything. I just want them to make it an option to turn off emotional deaths the same as people can turn off fears and such. Fears were a gimmick too right. It is no different.
I still have the fear bug no matter what I turn off in game.
Sims still be running around like crazy 🤪 in 2025.
I think the game needs more fixes than toggles.
