I created a new sim, Jessica Jones aka Kristen Ritter and moved her into the unfinished apartment at Culpepper Apts.. This was a lot of work because I am not great at getting my Sims to look like someone who really exists and I normally do furnished. The one thing I did not know was the apt. had gremlins. At night all my appliances broke, so the next day I went to fix them. I started with the plumbing so I would build my handyman skills and not get electrocuted. On my second appliance I got shocked, but was distracted and did another one, at which point I died.Jessica's urn lay on the floor and so I quit for the night. Tonight I started a new couple and moved them into the same apartment but this time without the gremlins, and there was Jessica's urn on the empty floor. I placed the urn on a table, and my new couple cry at it quite often. Please leave comments, or your own story..

I created a new sim, and within the same day she was first played, she attempted to cook, but caught herself on fire. I tried to put her out, but she refused to do anything but died.

I have lost lost more Sims by stove fires then anything else. If real life were like that, no one would ever cook.

I don't know if it is a coincidence, or if fires just don't happen with grilled cheese, but I would be interested in any feedback.

So tonight I added my save of Jessica Jones back to the Culpepper Apts in the apt next door to where she died. After getting to know the couple living in her old Apt, she went inside and they all had a good cry at Jessica's urn. It was kind sick, but also funny.

I almost feel left out because my sims don't die from electrocution and or setting themselves on fire while cooking in S4. Sure, they set themselves on fire, but I would have to just sit there and watch them burn if I wanted them to actually die. In fact, I didn't even know standing in a puddle while repairing objects could kill you in this version. I thought they'd nerfed it. I have had many a butler electrocute themself or maid start themself on fire with the dryer, however.

You just made me realize that I helped with my own death. In reading your response I realized that I did not mop up the puddles. OMG, I killed my Sim. AAAHHH!

With the sprinkler system in Sims 4 my sims have never died from a fire as the sprinkler always puts out the fires immediately. I have never even had to replace a stove or anything like i did in past Sims games.

I did almost lose a few sims to fire using outdoor barbecues as that has no sprinkler system available - but found a way around that since JA came out and has those cans of spray that puts out fires instantly. My sims tend to use it with out being told if they have it in their inventory. The only thing that ever kills my sims I can't avoid seems to be emotional deaths.

@lizisprocrastinating that's hilarious and horrifying. If only you'd left him as a teen until the mood swing had passed. They can't die from emotional deaths as teens if they're having a mood swing, thankfully.

One of my first sims died from that cow plant. His son's passing- old age- hit me harder as his son was the first Natural Causes death I witnessed in Sims 4.
