Too many Sims dying!!??

Is there not a way to stop all of your sims' friends dying? I don't have aging turned on, but I'm getting several phone calls every day saying "so-and-so has died, thought you'd like to know" my sim is forever feeling either fine or sad because she is constantly in a state of mourning.. Surely it isn't neccessary for so many sims to be dying, they're dropping like flies! 💀

  • This sounds like a horror movie. I have questions:

    1. Do you have aging turned off for both played and unplayed sims? Those are two different toggles.
    2. Do you have accidental death turned off for both played and unplayed sims?
    3. Are all of the dying sims elderly? Knowing the answer to this would help us figure out if your population is getting old or going up in flames.

    I also hated that my Sims was perpetual sorrow, so in the gameplay settings I disabled auto age for both played and unplayed households. Not a single Sim has died since.

    Turns out it was the unplayed Sims aging that was the problem, thank you!! I did look through her relationships and they were all elderly, thank you for your help!!

    Thank you so much!! I disabled it on the unplayed sims now, and it appears to have fixed it 😊
