Death notification

This new death notification is driving me crazy. My family never seems to be out of mourning. I am playing the 100 baby challenge and someone is dying every couple of days, I have 6 people in my family right now and they are all crying ALL the time. I even had an unborn baby born very sad. It's enough to make ME cry.

OMG, I could have written this post myself. I am also playing the 100 baby challenge and the death notifications are driving me insane! I really wish there was a way to turn them off.

Well so many people wanted more involvement with the deaths in the game and they did just that...I know MCCC mod has a way to disable them

Can you tell me how to disable it with MCCC? I can't figure it out. Thanks! :)

Can we have the option not to answer the death notification calls?

Oh I didn't know they fixed that! I just started a new save so I haven't had any death yet in my game. That is actually a good change in my opinion. I just hope it is well balanced and sims mourn people they actually care about!

I am hoping that they do not take this away. It adds a touch more of realism. Maybe they can just tweak it so it's people your sims were very close to. Not just random people that said hi to you

I like the concept, it did bother me when sims my sim knew died and they never mourned them but this, they really need to tweak it alot. Your sim only has to make aquaintance with another sim and as long as they are on the contact list they will get a notification and a 2 day sad moodlet. Whats worse is even if your sim never even met the dead one, as long as they are family they are hit with the same 2 day moodlet. It's gets annoying to have your sim in constant sadness.

Oh I wish that were possible. I ignored so many in the hopes that I wouldn't have to deal with a sad sim, only thing it did is make me wonder who had died. Have so many dead sims on the list I can never figure who just died.

I actually got a bit depressed myself when my sims' lost their mother/grandmother. Katherine Mooney was one of the first sims I made in sims 4. I actually made her late-husband in the CAS Demo prior to the base game's release. They have both since passed and have two children(one of each gender) and four grandchildren(three girls, one boy).

Their oldest grandchild is my current avatar. She just became a young adult!

People never know when they are happy. Before everybody was complaining cause sims didn't pay attention to death, and now they've fixed it everybody is complaining.

I was playing the 100 baby challenge, I've had to put it aside until something is done about it. On second mother who has 22 kids, 10 siblings. She had the friend of the world aspiration. She has dozens of sims she knows from mere aquaintences to well known family members. I was getting at least one sim dying every couple of days, sometimes more than one. Just when she was coming off one moodlet so a sim would die and she was hit with another. It was not unusual for her to be 'very sad' for weeks at a time. Rarely did she have a day when she wasn't sad.
It's one thing to give people what they think they want, it's another thing to give people what they think they want and it making it very disheartening to play.

For the record, I never complained it wasn't a thing. It's a good idea, just needs to be tweaked.

This is getting annoying now, my sims met their uncle when they were toddlers and now as children and teens he passed away and their upset! I understand the mom, she lost her brother but come on! I had the Mom and teen call the sadness hotline and when it got down to 1 day remaining for the moodlet, the mother’s other brother dies! It got buffed back to 2 days, luckily her kids never met him so they didn’t get that call. I don’t want to waste 500 points either for the emotion potion.
