Death by TERROR?

Hi! I think I remember a couple of threads after EA released the scared emotion but did not allow for scared to death, which makes no sense to me. Perfect timing for an emotional death and they blew it. :/

Following because I want to know too. If they can die laughing, why not be scared to death?

I'm quessing that it isn't a death because Sims would never survive living in a haunted house. And the fears we got this update would be deadly too.

Oh me i just refuse to die ! wether by laughter, electrocution, drowning, terror you name it... I seldom use it but i have a mod trait 'always happy' and thats just like laughing gas, if you go regular with no death cheat, you die of hysteria on the spot man !!! but with death.toggle i dont lose a sim and everybodys happy. Also i had a death by cold snap, once i forgot to put in that cheat and went for a mountain excursion, right off the bat i lost one sim to frost bite ! had to reload ... hehehe !

I am one who has been disheartened with both Sims3 and Sims4 in the beginning with the lack of random deaths in the game. However, once I lost two Sims at the same Charity Event. My first (and second) death by Hysteria. I was okay that for once, I hadn't been passed over. I had finally experienced it. I was done with it. Then the game went after my Global Superstar, Rock Star. Killed him three times, or almost, before I interceded. Someone on this forum asked if I didn't have a back up save prior to whatever patch this one was. I did and once I exchanged the back up version for the one I was playing Erik was suddenly back on safe ground. I now use MCCC and I disable Emotional Death. It's okay if Sims other than my Star (of my story) but touch him and I get a bit on the heated side, you know?

I updated the mod to it's latest version, and the the immediate hotfix. Forgot to insert the settings.cfg. I no longer had the Emotional Death disabled. Erik was just a YA and was suddenly hysterical. I went to the computer to discover it was still enabled! I fixed it tout sweet and this is one setting that requires you restart the game for it to work. So I did. Didn't help Erik. When I got back into the game I got the pop up he was dying due to hysteria. :open_mouth: Why doesn't the game like my Erik?

I too felt like the game is missing a rather realistic aspect with this and actually ended up using a mod for that.

Fyi, I have no idea whether it works with the latest update for I myself have absolutely NO intentions to update for a while. I haven't had deaths by fright myself yet (even with a sim living in a haunted house) but you can always tweak the settings.

Okay ! :) well thanks for sharing @GalacticGal , i dont think i'll even risk using mccc im not savvy enough with programming tbh it seems like a can of worms to me, with hotfixes and .cfg i dunno none of that lol... i got some mods that seem good working... And i dont plan on adding any, i basically got traits, careers, clothing articles and thats about it !

...oh and about death, well im not into that really... so maybe i shouldnt be posting in this thread !

I don't use many of the options in MCCC, either. No worries, everyone is welcome no matter what their views, so long as it doesn't break the Forum rules, that is. ;)

Like "Hysterical" when you can try to calm down at a mirror, could then hide under the bed with "Terror" or some options. Of course a warning would be good.

EDIT: or with full autonomy one, the Sim will do it themself.
