Death

It's a mixed bag for me. While I missed the possibility of Death by anything other than Old Age, I very much dislike it when a Sim (in my cast) dies when it's not their time to exit, stage left. Just had a very untimely death in my game. My bad, for spending my time nearly exclusively in one household and not bothering to check on the one where the death occurred. Amanda isn't allowed to pass until after she finally has grandchildren. But, I failed to check on her to change how many days she was in her Elderly state and got word she passed. So, being a well-chastened Watcher I exited the game, hoping I hadn't saved after the demise of a key Character. I had, sadly. So, I did the next thing possible. I moved the family out of their house and replaced them with their copy from My Library. (So much easer this way, since friendships and romances are far easier to restore than familial relationships, or so I have learned very recently.) Then I used a mod, MCCC, to fix the relationship between Spock and Brianna, and while I was at it, gave Brianna relationships with her future in-laws. Hey, these little 'fixes' help. Better that than to totally restart, no? Oh, and I made certain to delete the other family from the game, totally. Can't have Doppelgängers lurking about.
