How do I trigger an Ocean Danger?

I'm trying to record Sims in the Ocean for a video I'm working on. I know there are some ocean dangers in Sulani, but I can't seem to trigger anything. I've had the Sim swim in Mua Pelam in the deep water where I've previously had a Sim be pulled by a current and have an ocean threat pull her under, but nothing is happening to this Sim.

I would like to include the following that I've had previously happen, but I wasn't recording:

  1. The scared moodlet Sims get from being in the ocean due to how deep and vast the ocean is. Or has this been moved when they added the Wants & Fears system? I play with them off.
  2. Being pulled by a current.
  3. having an Ocean Threat randomly pull them under.
  4. Sharks. I haven't encountered sharks myself, but I've seen it can happen and that Sims being pulled under has it's own unique death music.

Does anyone have any advice on how to best trigger these events? I have testing cheats enabled, but I don't have mods or cc.

    sallycutecat​  The only time I've seen any of the ocean dangers is around a diving buoy (To be clear, not the snorkel buoy).  Always during or right after diving for seashells, treasure or photos.  The fear gets triggered out there too but it, unless almost all the rest, can happens away from the buoys.  You can trigger sim death by making a sim die over and over but you'll need another sim there to grab the urn.  Sharks do have their own ominous music.  You'll know it when you hear it.  😁 

    Bottom line to get the visuals you want, you'll have to spend a lot of time in Sulani with sims diving repeatedly out at the diving buoy waiting for the events to happen.

    Hope this helps.
