Help! I need a quick tip! Sim dying!

There should be an option on that mirror for calm down. Maybe try a different mirror (buy another type if you have to)?

You could try getting your sim to quickly go to sleep or take a nap. Moods disappear while a sim is asleep, and hopefully some of the playful or happy moodlets that are stacking it up to the danger level will wear off before they wake up.

Exiting without saving may be your only option since she’s already dying. Maybe testingcheats and shift-click reset sim could work?

They must've changed something, because she has NO interactions at all. Oh, and I can't save, even if I wanted to. They're greyed out. For all intents, I see no way to avoid this. I hope it doesn't auto-save this way. Maybe a Task Manager termination is in order?

Oh, right...you can't do the interactions once the sim is actually in the process of dieing. It's too late. You needed to do the calm down before death started.

Try pushing Alt-F4 which exits the game. The game sometimes prompts me to save when I push that even though I couldn't save manually.

Try to fight with the other Sim, maybe they will slap your Sim and instantly turn your Sim angry instead

Ok. I got it resolved. The trick is to just exit. It'll say it can't save, which is what I wanted anyway. Reloaded to last save. Lost about a day in game, but that's okay.

Oh nm sounds like she’s already dying, try to exit after without saving

Oh good she survived!!! Next time she should try to be more serious ... read the encyclopedia on the computer, watch the news channel, drink strong black oolong tea ... having a sense of humour or being playful is so dangerous in this game, some jokes, a prank or two, too many bubbles in the bath, an afternoon of laser tag with a cat, and then that’s it, only Death is laughing and having fun :wink:

I instantly save my game when my sims get very playful because mine like to die of hysteria. This way the save point is there if needed (I always edit without saving if I want them to survive) but I get them to a mirror to calm down pronto. It's like their favorite way to die for me.

Yeah, I already save often, but I've stepped it up. Also, I turned off all the object "Auras" I could find, and that seemed to help too. They were all on. And I'm keeping an eye out for the attribute "Very " instead of just . The problem with this sim was that she was downstairs and I didn't notice. lol

They really should take another look at this mechanic. I mean, dying by electrocution because they attempted fixing an electronic device at an early level is somewhat expected. But this? Sims should be able to die, sure, but make it reasonable for crying out loud.
