I want more surprises and danger in The Sims, too. But death by knickknacks, clean clothes, toddlers and getting married? No, thanks. It's just too cheesy, and I happen to love cheesy. I do let MCCC take care of that, but I have to be really careful when I'm playing after a patch. I do always keep a Death Flower handy, and yeah, my base save has an Apothecary with ambrosia for sale, so I'd probably play it out. That Wishing Well cheat is good to know, tho, thanks for sharing.
