Dying from laughter

I saw it once. I started a legacy. The original Sim, even before getting married and having kids, died of laughter.

I've only seen this happen once, and not that long ago! lol :D I had my sim play with her cat with a laser pointer and she became very playful which was fine, but then I had her paint in her garden and all of a sudden she just bursts into this uncontrollable gigglefit and I saw her mood as hysterical and she doubled over and fell to the ground then soon after I saw ol Grim floating all casual into the garden :o

Needless to say, I left that save so fast haha. I curiously want to see the other types of death too. With MCCC I can use alllllll of the deaths...mwahahahaha! >:)

I’ve only had this happen once, my sim’s husband became hysterical watching the comedy channel so I canceled it, left him alone and went to focus on my other sim. Low and behold he started watching civic public access and died. They’d only just been married, so it was a shock.

If it happens again, send that sim to a mirror to attempt to calm down. They'll talk to themselves and lower that moodlet out of dangerous levels.

yeah just had this happen, I was like, whaaaat? Didn't think it was cool at all personally. Was like "oh um, no , no no, spent too much time on that sim noooot gonna happen":..LMAO....then exited to main menu when Grim showed up and I realized this was for real..lol Lost 30 minutes of playtime but better than my sim. It was weird too \cause all he was doing was painting, he wasn't even talking to anyone. Just suddenly started laughing, and then the coughing and boom, notification, "Memphis has died of laughter".....didn't even nknow such a thing was in the game..lol

I have never seen that death.

I had both husband and wife die laughing on their honeymoon. They visited the Humor and Hijinks festival in San Myshuno. I exited without saving and pretended it was all a bad dream.

This happened to a groom at his own wedding. It was about the only time that I have exited without saving. Normally, I probably would have kept it in the game but I didn't want the bride to start over at that point.

I've had them get hysterical before, especially with laundry day. I tend to send them to bed when they are in an extreme mood. Generally speaking, if they die of an extreme mood, I'm likely to keep them in the game but it hasn't happened since then.

Sims with toddlers seem to get to Very Playful pretty easily, especially if their needs are kept high. A happy Sims does something playful and BAM! They're thisclose to becoming hysterical! I send them to the nearest mirror to calm down or, if they're already hysterical, to go take a nap.

I took pictures of when it happened in my game for the very first time. My Global Superstar was throwing a Charity Benefit Event at a local bar. His brother-in-law was a bit into his cups and when Erik told him a joke, it was simply too much for the Vulcan. Moments later, when his wife became aware, she became Hysterical and died, too. It was a two-fer.

Much later on, and fairly recently, after we got the patch and IL, the game seemed intent on taking out Erik, too. He died an Hysterical death twice and was headed for it a third time, when I substituted the game save for the back-up one I'd made prior to patching. :open_mouth:

Unless or until they fix this weird problem, I have used MCCC to disable emotional deaths in my game. Something I'd much rather not have to do, since the game can be way too tame as it is. And I can take having my favorite Sim pass away. I once used him as my Founder and he died. But, when the game appears to be targeting him, that I won't tolerate. LOL
