Well, that explains some things about celebrities. I've been trying to kill them off for some time now. They shrug off the death curses from Jungle Adventure artifacts and they don't seem to be bothered at all by the hamster plague. So I finally went with the nuclear option and took my vampire to the club while they were around and cast Burst of Anger. Bella Goth, both Behr sisters, the Landgraabs, Sergio Romeo, Johnny Zest, Ted Roswell, both Jang parents, the entire membership of Partihaus, Katrina Caliente, and countless townie NPCs now lie dead. The Eastpark Mausoleum is at maximum capacity and the overflow is just being stuck up in boot hill behind an abandoned saloon in Oasis Springs. And yet, the celebrities still stand. It's madness.
Actually my all regular pre-made celebrities died from old age. Just this Baby Ariel has special npc trait.
I also noticed father winter(s) never die as well. Clement Frost auto-retires at some point, game generates a new father winter but Clement is alive forever. This is weird though, it's like if I play the same save for too many generations, eventually I will have tons of retired ex father winters around.
There's also this old sim in San Myshuno, Cesar Odom, he's immortal too. I don't know what his deal is though.
Anyways, what's this nuclear option? I didn't get what you mean.
The term "nuclear option" is a euphemism for an extreme method used to achieve the desired result. In this case, said nuclear option was what I described. One of the vampire skills allows the sim to influence the emotions of others. Maximized, the results are pronounced. In this case, I used the ability Burst of Anger, which at level 3 gives every sim in the room a +50 anger moodlet for four hours. This results in a large number of sims experiencing the caridac explosion death event. While it is often a surefire way to kill a targeted sim, it results in large amounts of collateral damage. Hence the term.
