Have you ever left your sims run all night while you slept?

Guys, Nina did not make it :(

But oddly enough, she died across the street from her house, where the fountain and food stand is? I honestly have no idea what happened.

But now I have another question. I got the usual notification that the last member of the house had died, and it gave me the option to return to the main menu without saving, so I did--when I returned to the Caliente house, it's as though nothing had happened---the game went back in time, all 3 were there, and it was still TV Season Premiere night. Is that normal?

Yes, because you exited from that save to main menu without saving :)

Sure enough, the game brought them back in time, about an hour before I let them loose to run on their own. The only thing that's different is the outfits---Katrina is still in the same one, but Nina and Dina have changed. I feel bad, so now I will play them until all of their needs are filled lol

Thanks, guys---I learned something new there. I didn't know until now that by not saving, it takes them back to the previous save point

Now they're properly rested---sleeping under the stars in the middle of winter, out by the sidewalk. In real life, that would be incredibly scary

Doesn't the game pause at certain events/prompts?

Nice "house". lol

p.s. I never, ever leave my sims alone for one second. Learned a long time ago that nothing good ever comes from leaving my sims unattended. :o :#

LOL, I haven't done the whole "let the game run overnight" since the original The Sims™ game. It was a long time ago, but I seem to recall the results were kind of disastrous for me back then too.

It does. I often leave my game unattended for some time and usually when I return there's a pop-up message waiting for some input from me.

I'm surprised that they appeared to die from drowning. In my experience, it's very hard to get a sim to die that way in this version haha, so for them to do it on their own, that's impressive
