Dying from laughter

I've had this happen to 2 different heirs in the same family. The first was a unpleasant surprise and she had just gotten married but I went along with it because it took my game into a different direction which can be refreshing.

The 2nd time I was not happy. My heir had just had her 3rd daughter and i sent her to go eat. Hubby and the oldest were at school, while the toddler and newborn were both sleeping. The next thing you know I'm looking at the kitchen table but Iylah is not there...then time speeds up and I saw grimmy. Needless to say I quit without saving. Didn't want Sheldon being widower with 3 small children.

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 ?

@Funnydesigner2020 Holy Wow! That is some drama! And all in a short period of time. I did really enjoy how you described everything, I could imagine it all taking place in my head. LOL

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.

One of my sims died from freezing to death as she witnessed another sim frozen to death. I lost 19 sims at one time due to that! So I went back to an earlier save because I had plans for that sim. So I get her through college, get married, have twins. Then she is standing in the kitchen and I get a notification that she is laughing to death! I think Grimmy had it in for her from the beginning!

Once my sim did a comedy stand up during the Comedy/Mischief Festival and ended up killing at least 6 sims with laughter and then herself.

Pretty much summed up 2020.
