Emotional Deaths?

Well, stop providing your Sims with a safe and secure life, and give them problematic traits instead of all the good and neutral ones :)

Yes, I'm guilty of that. It's time to start having at least one dumpling in the family! (Dumpling, for want of a better word!)

My actress Sim experiences this every time I try to put her in a playful mood so she can perform the ' research playful emotion' for an acting gig. She goes directly to hysterical and drops dead. I have just given up and take the hit for not doing that part of the prep work.

Perfect case of method acting that :o

Yeah the emotional extreme deaths were one of the more interesting things from the base game, however they are near impossible to execute in game. I’ve never experienced any of them autonomously, and have only successfully triggered mortification once after reeeaaallly trying. Such a neat concept that ends up being more tedious than its worth. I haven’t attempted at one of these in awhile, I just don’t have that kind of time to waste trying to trigger one of the most advertised features of the game.

Emotional Deaths are pretty easy to get if you actively TRY to get them.
Probably the hardest would be Embarassed, and that's as easy as Flirting badly after having a Bladder failure.

Anger has multiple boosting moodlets, such as Angry Decorations and Angry Spaghetti, and that's before taking into account the side effects of Mean socials.

Hysterical is probably the easiest.
It's the only emotional death I have to try NOT to get!
Incredibly happy Sims can be done in by even a single +1 Playful moodlet if you're not careful.
Good food, beautiful decorations, high Needs, and so on. Happy moodlets stack up easily, and even a single Playful moodlet can turn them Hysterical after that.

Yeah believe me I have tried the emotional auras, spamming interactions, etc. Not nearly as easy as it should be given all of the ways to boost emotions. Tried to get a sim hysterical, filled the room with playful objects, spammed jokes, if they ever got hysterical they would cool down to very playful before the moodlet expired triggering the death. It’s a bad setup in my opinion, the deaths should not require such a process to trigger.

Whaaaaat!

Hysterical is easy to get even when you're NOT going to extremes to get it! Just stack Happy and Playful Moodlets.
Of course the more packs you have, the more access to Happy moodlets you have.

Let's start basic:
Food: +3 possible, +4 if Foodie
Decorations: +3 Happy
Playful Decor: +3 Playful
That's +9/10 already.

Funny Conversation: +2 Playful
On a roll: +1 Playful
Bubble Bath: +2 Playful
Funny face in mirror: +1 Playful

There, that's +15/16, the timer's ticking down until you die from laughter.

There's even more moodlets you can get though.
Already playful? Make a funny face in the Mirror: +1 Playful
Someone telling Jokes at a mic? Watch them for a bit: +1 or +2 Playful
Get told the funniest Joke in the world? +3 Playful!

If you have Spa Day, you can get +3 from Foot Massage, +3 from Hand Massage, both lasting quite a while.
Heck, if your Sim just gets happy a lot, and happens to be a Goofball, then they're just a ticking time-bomb of Hysterical Death!
A Goofball Geek Sim has one of the easiest times to die from being Hysterical, with Get Famous installed.
While streaming with a Streaming Drone, a Geek gets a HUGE +10 Happy Moodlet. That's already 10/15 on the way to Hysteria!
Pampering a Sim makes Playful moodlets deadly!

Agreed, it is quite easy. These are my sim's moodlets after just waking up in the morning:

All of these are practically just from existing. He didn't have to talk to anyone or eat anything or use any object to get these and it's already at +13. He's like this every night and a few hours in the morning.

I have experienced it once autonumously. From mortified emotion. Dad went into the bathroom twice with his son there after an awkward conversation. Ahahah pretty funny.
