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.

What I do is make fruit salads for the first level or two, also I have never had a stove fire when making a grilled cheese sandwich. 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.

In one game (this had to been not long after the release) I just added this family of sims and started playing and the first thing that happened was the mother dying because she started a fire trying to cook. I think she deserves the award for the shortest lived/played sim lol.

If real life cooking was like it is in the Sims, there would not be a population problem. ?

@Tistou the big grey sprinkler box goes anywhere on the outside of the house (one on each storey of the house). It doesn't need to connect to the inside alarms. What you put near the stove is the small white fire alarm object. It can be near not exactly above the stove. Also put alarms near fireplaces etc anything which causes fires. My systems are always a bit laggy so sometimes my sim can be quite black before the sprinkler starts.

Oh, wow thank you! That makes it so much easier to decorate! I'm gonna have safer houses now. Thank you! ^-^

I've never had an emotional death by accident before. I always thought it had to take a LOT of effort. But I made a techie Sim, and got married to a recently aged-up Malcom Landgraab straight away. I sent them on a 'honeymoon' to Granite Falls and made a nice, modern barn resort for them, with hot tub and pool. Get Famous had just came out so my sim was experimenting with the Drone while swimming in the pool and chatting with his new husband. Apparently that made him hysterical - the recent wedding, the swimming, and using the drone at the same time. Telling a joke to his husband is what pushed him over the edge apparently. Dead as a doornail.

I don't think I have died by an emotional death yet. Can you woohoo yourself to death?

Umm, yes, I guess you can, technically. If Elder Sims Woohoo more than once back to back, there's a good chance they'll get the Dangerously Tired Moodlet, and that usually causes Cardiac Arrest.

I suppose Woohoo might cause extreme Happiness, or Hysteria, as we've been mentioning, too, if the Sim of any Age was already super Happy or Playful when they engaged in the Woohoo. Weddings are quite dangerous that way, especially for Goofball or Cheerful Sims. They quite literally die laughing, of course.

Most of my sims die by deletion, lol. I never had unnatural deaths happen to my sims, ever. I think I hold the record for that. So, Valdius decides to dry a load of laundry without checking the lint tray and presto, a grand master vampire is dead from a dryer. I was so excited, lol! :D
