Strange "Death" Music Playing at Random
I can't really report this as a bug, since I don't know exactly what's going on. For some reason, I have been hearing a strange dirge playing randomly that sounds as if a Sim was dying or something; ...

Some things I thought of while playing today.
Spooky Stuff Pack: Radio station plays Spooky music that includes odd sounds.
Get Famous: There is a short tone like sound that plays with changes in reputation status.
Seasons: There is a sound when Patchy "comes alive" to tend gardens and another when he returns to his scarecrow post.
Around 6pm is when Patchy would be returning to his post.
Base game: There is a "Mood Sting" that sounds when Sims change emotions.
Might the sound you are hearing be related to one of those?

I haven't had any of those scenarios come up recently, but something did come up as a possibility; I haven't yet encountered it yet myself, but perhaps someone else has?
I noticed the dirge just play when my Sim finished his college courses; he got all A+'s, but normally a more upbeat tune plays when you pass your classes. Does a bad tune play when you fail all your classes, by chance?
I'm wondering if that's the tune I'm hearing.

@burin077 and @EuphorialQueen , I failed a class because I couldn't turn in my presentation over the weekend (or at least Sunday evening when I finished it) Couldn't turn it in until Monday at 8 am but I had class then and couldn't give the presentation which is separate … so it failed me!!! 😠 I think sad music did play at that time, but I can't be sure.🤔 But it sounds like this could be your mystery music! 💡 I think perhaps B- can be considered bad if the Sim is ambitious or for other circumstances depending on the Sim. 🤔 Or else the music is just messed up! 😃
@burin077and @EuphorialQueen , I just got a C in one of my classes (forgot that I started the semester on Monday with that Sim, and so wasn't prepared when the semester ended at 6:00 on Friday! 😮 I hadn't written the term paper yet! 🤭) I heard really sad guitar music for this when my grades popped up (even though my other class was an A+). So, if your Sims are in college when you hear this music, I think this is what is causing it.🤔 I don't remember what music plays when you get all A's, though. 🤔
Sad guitar music that sounds almost like a funeral dirge? That's the string I'm hearing, however it's not happening during a failed class; it's happening unannounced in the evening, even when Sims aren't in college. It doesn't seem consistent either, like it just happens on some nights and not others.
The "good grades" tune isn't a guitar tune at all; it's an upbeat little tune.
