How can I stop a sim from die-ing from laughter?

I’ve never had a sim die an emotional death. If they get the “very whatever emotion” moodlets, I start countering it right then. Having said that, I think the idea of emotional death is creatively funny because we use those expressions all the time. “I just died laughing” “I could have died of embarrassment.” They’re figures of speech for us, but real threats to sims. I put them in the same category with cow plants: one of those quirky things unique to the Sims.
