Baby Ariel

I can understand placing her in the game as part of a colab. But I still don't like real people being added to the game without having a say in it. And why on earth the respawn with the same trait? Does she have a purpose in gameplay? . Luckily I have not seen her around much. But making her immortal is just crazy and completely out of proportion. If every sim is aging, why not her. When I run across her in a game I will give her a make over and give her a proper name.

the hidden trait is trait_SpecialNPCs_BabyAriel maybe you can remove it with a cheat, I haven't tried, I didn't even notice she had that trait... she can be turned into a vampire, though. I just did it. Why don't you lock her in a basement and use her as a never ending source of blood for vampires? She's immortal, can't die with no food etc.

Now that's a good use for an unwanted immortal sim that is forced upon us.
My vampires will like having her in their house. Does she keep her immortality when she becomes playable?

*edit: I want to clarify I like the vampire idea for the sim version of baby ariel. I don't have anything against the real person. For me she is just a teen screaming 'look at me' at the other side of the globe. No problem with that as nobody forces me to watch her

She does.
I don't even know who she is in real life but surely she's cheaper than plasma packs in game.

I'm clearly showing my age as I thought you were talking about the little mermaid ;)

I actually don't mind that she's based off a real person. I have no idea who she is in real life anyway. It just bothers me that she has immortality with no real explanation why. If I make her a vampire then she will have a reason to never die and it will make me feel better about keeping her around. I think she's a cute sim and can probably be made cuter with some makeover treatment.

I know of nothing that should prevent her from becoming a vampire.

Traits.remove_trait SpecialNPCs_BabyAriel should make Ariel mortal again, but then the game will create a (differently looking) replacement with the same trait.
You could also try baking a birthday cake, inviting her and aging her that way. (I haven't tried either method myself, because I play with aging off and my mortal teens, too, will stay teens for a long time, so that Ariel being technically unaging makes no difference.)

And I'm weirdly glad that they put in a celeb that I had no chance of knowing beforehand or ever seeing due to my interests (and probably age). Because of that she's just another premade to me.

Ironic that they made the Baby Ariel Sim immortal when the real Baby Ariel probably has 2-3 years left of fame....If that. I mean she's what, a tiktok star? Just another thing from the Sims that doesn't age well, like how Sims 3 made the vampires based off Twilight and hell, made a bunch of characters from Twilight as Sims in it, not realizing that Twilight would lose all relevance after another year or so.

Anyways, I used mods to have her get struck by lightning.

Would have been nice if they relived more iconic celebrities. How about Freddy Mercury, Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Pete Burns, Amy Winehouse, Prince, David Bowie, Chester Bennington, Charles Bradley, Glenn Frey... just to name a few... :)

that would have been logical .

I don't like that this sim has been placed in my game with unexplainable immortality. Is it possible for her to become a vampire? Has anybody tried that in the game? I'm trying to come up with a good reason to not delete her at the moment.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

@stilljustme2 Not solved actually. Deleting baby Ariel from your game removes the sim, but another celebrity Sim with the baby Ariel exclusive immortality trait is automatically created. You can not eliminate the Sim with this trait in your game. For whatever reason Maxis programmed the expansion to always keep an immortal celebrity who does not age in the population.

This has already been discussed in this thread. Did you not read before you posted your quick fix?

I never see her around, but I just remade her into a Honey Boo-Boo/Mama June character and made her really unfriendly. My story for her is that she's a former child pageant star who took her fade into obscurity pretty hard and became a train wreck. Now she's famous for picking fights with strangers in public and eating out of the trash. Granted, this was all before I realized that Baby Ariel was a real person.

I’ve heard of this sim, but never actually seen her. If I did she’d be deleted faster than I can say D-list.
