Do you ever kill a sim because they’re just okay?

Update: I felt guilty so I had the ghost move back in, so I sold some furnishings to get 5,000$ to make a wish for life at the wishing well... and the wish didn’t work

In a past game save, I had my main family be foster parents for a game generated teen criminal created by the detective career, named Talon Hobbs, loved his name. When he became a YA he got Nina Calente with child by "accident" in the hot tub. He married her and they had twin girls.

The marriage was not a good one, they fought and she flirted with other men, so one night after an argument, she went into the kitchen and caught fire cooking, Talon ran upstairs to the twins immediately. Well, I initially clicked around for the option for her to extinguish herself, then just stopped. I let her burn. That was the only time I remember letting a sim die that was not an elder.

Nah, I just put them in the "cloud" of sims and move on. Sometimes if I really like their house I'll put the new sim in first so they get to keep the cash and everything.

Okay hear me out here. I just fed my sim Phoebe’s wife to the cow plant because I didn’t really feel a connection to her like I did with Phoebe, she just kind of bored me. (Plus she had the jealous trait so she was a little annoying.) and they didn’t really feel like soulmates so I just was like “yup you’re dead now.” I haven’t purposely killed a sim in a while so I feel a little guilty, (plus they have a baby together so now she’s a single mom, oops.) So anyway, my point is- do you ever kill your sims because they bore you a little? Or do I just have the insane and evil traits?

Edited because of grammar

Would it be evil if I said I've fed sims to the cow plant for a lot less reason? >:)

In my Not So Berry legacy, my mint sim, Minty Julep, was married to Danny Shino-Miller before he "accidentally" drowned in my fenced in pool overnight. Initially, I wasn't going to kill him off as I really liked Danny & Minty together, but as time progressed the more I hated the super bland routine the family had fallen into. So to spice things up, I opted to get rid of least important person to my household. Like, don't get me wrong, Danny wasn't awful or anything, he just didn't contribute anything to the family other than a paycheck (and two children).

I've only purposefully killed a Sim for points in Pinstar's legacy challenge (I drowned him) and I felt so horrible when I did it. :( If I don't feel a connection to a Sim, I just kind of ignore them and let them do whatever they want, like I'm doing now with Akira. :D

Yes I have but not direct family members though

One time in my Levi legacy, Vlad snuck in to the household at night and drunk from my heir sim at that time. Off course it ruined her chance of getting a promotion before elder-hood, so I had her go on a revenge quest to get Vlad to come to her house and trap him under the sunlight by indefinitely cloud-gazing with him :D >:)

One of my Sims was dating Harold Camp (he's a NPC - not sure how popular... anyway). They were coworkers and friends for a while and I thought it was so cute. He had the klepto trait but I didn't think much of it. He spent the night at my Sim's house one night, and while she was sleeping he stole my dog's food bowl! I was so mad that I built a bunch of walls around him and was determined to kill him. But then I felt guilty so after about a day I let him go, and he ran out of the house so fast! Haha.

Anyway, I had my Sim break up with him, but they're still friends. Except every once in a while at work he'll say hello by kissing her cheek, and I think about killing him off again. (haha)

I usually feel like that for most unnatural deaths. I try to justify by creating a narrative and a greater purpose as to why I had to kill them.

Example: Before they fixed the "townies don't change clothes or age" glitch when you moved them into the household, I had killed two sims on different occasions because I wanted them not to be alive on my sim's family tree. They both starved to death. To justify it, I pretended they went on a hunger strike to protest the fact they couldn't change clothes and had rejected immortality.

All my sims usually die of old age, but every once in awhile I'll tempt fate, like keeping sims I am not attached to hysterical, enraged, or fixing an electric item in a puddle of water. Hey...got to have life be a little unpredictable. I don't feel guilty when I do this because accidents happen no matter how perfect life may be. It also helps my remaining sims to open up new game play.

Don't feel bad. Cow plants have to eat too! Plus, I'm sure if they had one, a Cow Plant's lifetime aspiration would be to produce the milk "essence of life". So in a way, you've made your cow plant very happy!

Don't they get the "feels like an emotionless shell" moodlet when they get spit out the first time? Maybe she didn't want to live anymore and decided to donate her essence so that Phoebe can drink it and live a long life with their child. Maybe that's why you didn't feel connected to her; she had a greater purpose.

Lol! That’s a beautiful way to look at it, and it actually makes me feel a lil better. I ended up sending her back to the netherworld after all that, I figured it was time for her to move on. They moved to the city for a change of pace too
