Dying from laughter

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

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.

I had this happen as well but I have no idea how. My sims couple just had their second baby. Mom was in with the toddler and suddenly I get a notification that the dad is dying of hysteria. Go to the living room and he is just standing their laughing uncontrollably :open_mouth: I was like "no no no" and started over. Lost a bit of gameplay but that's okay. Not leaving the sim mom as a widow with a baby and toddler.

^I lost gameplay in a similar situation, but the thing is- I'm never able to look at that particular sim the same way after knowing how he died ?
In a way, I feel like dying of the Hysterical moodlet is the quickest way to go. So, if you want to avoid it, it's best to run to the mirror to "calm down" ASAP. At first, I didn't take it seriously when the game told me to calm my sim down, but emotions can really be dangerous here. I learned that the hard way when my Celebrity sim died, but his wife pleaded with the Grim Reaper for his life~ and it actually worked! I wonder what the percentage success is with that interaction, since it doesn't seem too likely ?

IT is actually the easiest death to trigger onto someone else. Personally I would prefer f it was a very rare death and more of an Easter egg, with a separate achievement for it.

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! >:)

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.
