Death from Woohoo

I have two elder sims in my game who have had a wonderfully romantic, long marriage and the joy of raising several children, and now grandchildren. I play with aging on so they don't have much longer to go at this point and I was considering arranging their deaths to be death from woohoo, so that they go out in a loving blaze of glory rather than just passively dieing of old age like most of my played sims do.

I'm curious, as I've never had a Sim die from this before, is it a special ghost death or does it just fall in the regular "death from over-exertion" bucket? As in...is it no different than if they die from jogging too much?
funny

    I think it fits the death from over-exertion, but personally I've never managed to make it happen. My sim always refuse to woohoo (or working out, or swimming) when they are in danger of dying from it. I have heard others say that it's easy, but my sims are just going "Are you insane? Hell no, I'm not doing that!"

    I do love the idea though.

    It gets marked as overextertion yes

    your sims may have to be very passionate in their loving though

    used this to kill off glarn and kitty curious long time ago but i had to feed one of them to cowplant cause only one died from the nonstop woohooing :sweat_smile: (if i remember right it was Glarn who died of overextertion)

    I've killed off a few sims this way. I was playing a vampire sim who had a number of mortal lovers who had become elderly. It generally happens on the second of two consecutive woohoo-ing sessions. My vampire got an "unsatisfactory woohoo" moodlet after the second session, prior to her partner dropping dead.

    ^ Same experience, it seems they need the “dangerously tired” moodlet for the woohoo to do them in. They don’t die during, they get up afterwards and drop dead. But if you’re playing a Long-Lived sim, they can’t die this way.

    @Babajayne, oh, that's useful to know!

    By long-lived, you mean the trait you can get from the athletic aspiration, right? That's disappointing, because both sims in question have that trait. They are the first sims I've had earn it in years too. Figures it'd bite me in the behind. *sigh*.

    @Stormkeep Yes, exactly. I’ll rarely, if ever pursue that aspiration/trait again because it really does add a ridiculous amount of time to their lives. I suppose you could cheat the trait away - I didn’t think to try that before. I ended up adding the cursed lot trait and caused a cooking fire.

    I have only orchestrated one such death and that was years ago. But I concur that it fits into your overexertion bucket, from what I recall. But, at least the Sim went out happy! :* o:)
