Does your sim die a lot from emotion? Or is it just me...

I've never had an emotional death -- when I see a Sim is getting close to the line I stop what they're doing and have them calm down in the mirror and that seems to do the trick. I'm also careful to limit some of the emotional items and either keep the aura off or limit them to specific rooms (like if I need to get a Sim playful for writing jokes or comedy routines).
