Sims randomly dying after installing Life & Death.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.111.102.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Life & Death, For Rent, Horse Ranch, Growing together, High School Years, Cottage Living, Snowy Escape, Discover University, Island Living, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get To Work, Dream Home Decorator, Realm Of Magic, Strangerville, Jungle Adventure, Parenthood, Dine Out, Outdoor Retreat, Home Chef Hustle, Nifty Knitting, Tiny Living, Moschino Stuff, My First Pet, Laundry Day, Toddler Stuff, Bowling Night, Backyard Stuff, Kids Room, Romantic Garden, Movie Hangout,
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By playing normally.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sims get a call, (death call) It tells me that someone died. I Check the family tree and it is from a natural cause.
What do you expect to see? I expect less deaths from the pack. I get it is a death pack but it needs to go down a bit. Also this is happening while my neighbourhood stories death one is off.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After I installed life and Death.

Now, I really enjoy life and death so far playing it. But one thing annoys me. The amount of deaths I'm having when playing without any of the gameplay. I do notice that the deaths happen at night. I do use mods (such as mccc, Ui cheats etc) but they are all up to date. Every single mod I have that could interfere is updated to the latest version. 

At the moment. The deaths are from one side of the family (extended) and I don't really know the sims only by blood. It did kill my not so berry challenge heir. The elders that died have not died from old age. It is from things like overexurstion, Anger etc. Do beer in mind this is all happening while The neighbourhood story that kills sims for other death types is OFF. So it should not happen.

I get the pack is all about Death. But i don't expect it to happen as much as it is. Luckily it is sims like I said. But I don't want it to start getting into my over beloved sims.

Thanks for reading.

  • @jimels1 Please move your mods folder to the desktop, delete Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > localthumbcache, repair your game and then try again on a backup of your save to see of you can duplicate the issue on a game with no mods.


    MCCC has it's own story progression and you need to test on vanilla to make sure that it's not a mod causing this.

    @crinrict Thanks for replying, it is very hard to get the issue just like that. it would be hard to know if its removed or not. i have repaired my game and removed the localthumbcache. I will go through the setting on mccc to see if anything is enabled.

    Thanks for ur help!

    @jimels1 It's just that if you have mods in, there's no way of knowing what's causing the issue so all reports in the bug forum MUST be on a vanilla game.

    @crinrict I have updated the mods that needed it, removed the localthumbcache and repaired my game. It seems to have worked. If it happens again i will try on vanilla game.

    I understand the reason but it would have been hard to locate it so i tried them first and if it happens again i will go on vanilla game.

    Thanks for ur help.
