On the Subject of "Public Death"

Isn't it kind of normal to be upset when someone dies right in front of you? :')

I mean.... If you're at a party and someone dies all of a sudden, people will gather around and be upset about it too, right? Even if you didn't know the person. 

I think it's normal for the sim to be upset. But I do agree that 2 days is a bit too long.

Maybe they could make a different moodlet for when a sim sees someone who they didn't know die. Like for a couple of hours they'll be upset.  But not 2 days. 

Yeah, I didn't say that it was completely and totally unrealistic for them to be at least a little sad at witnessing a stranger's death. What is annoying, however, is how we can't have our Sims leave the lot in order to them from prevent witnessing the death, and they're forced to go over there and witness it, giving them that horrible, powerful two-day sad moodlet. If it was a very close friend or family member, I could definitely understand the moodlet being that strong, but for a complete stranger? Not so much.

I definitely agree with you. If the above cannot be done, then I do think that it would be a good compromise to just make the moodlet for witnessing a stranger or minor acquaintance's death significantly shorter. A few hours, rather than two whole days. All in all, there seems to be a lot of problems with this kind of thing lately.

I have a house in Windemburg on an island.  My Sims had a New Year's Eve party.  It was freezing outside. 

Two of their guests dropped dead before they got into the house.

Luckily, I had a stack of Death Flowers and saved them from death.  

It has become pretty annoying though just to see your guests drop dead at a social event and then having to run out
