I have made my sim do a lot of playful interactions. She had 5 or 6 playful things affecting her mood. The mood will not go above very playful. I thought she would get the hysteria mood. I really wanted to see how the death from laughter played out. Have you ever had a sim die from hysteria? If so what combo of things caused your sim to die from laughter?

Never seen it happen here, for which I'm grateful. (Just myself, I would rather the 'death by emotion' deaths were not in the game at all.) But as far as I know, if you just want to know what it looks like, it's in the set of animations that play on the title screen. The western-garbed female Sim is shown laughing and then sort of coughs a bit and keels over. Believe that's it.

You need to recieving at least +15 in order to become "Hysterical". Hysterical is probably the hardest emotional death to achieve. Embarassing the easier, and Anger the middle one.For the record, it takes +6 Embarrassed points to become Mortified and +7 Angry points to become Enraged.

There are two keys to death by emotion: 1) Do it in a room with little/no decor to boost their mood, and 2) Make sure their needs are low (hungry, tired, dirty, etc.).

Easiest way to do it is by having the target sim drink a Happy Potion from the reward store. You might need to buy two or three Happy Potions to guarantee a Hysterical death. It lasts 3 hours so you need to drink another one before it expires.I've made a challenge regarding the ten types of death in Sims 4: Ten Dead Sims Challenge. It's still in progress, but Hysterical is one of the easiest with the Happy Potion involved. Hardest is Electrocution.

He had low Handiness skill and there were two broken electronic devices. I had him fix both back-to-back. Even though his needs were all up in the green, hubby met Grimmy swiftly. Ahh it was great! Thought I would never have a death by Electro >:) Dang, you're lucky (unlucky for your sim-hubby). When I tried to do it, I needed the Tormentor trait to sabotage the electronics. It took approximately 18 repairs on the widescreen TV to electrocute mine. And that's with a puddle on the floor!

How does a sim die from hysteria?

I've never tried this before but maybe drinking a playful potion will help? (There is a playful potion right? I've suddenly forgotten)

Positive moodlets increase an emotion. For instance, getting any moodlets that increase "happy" will also increase "playful", so if you want hysteria, use happy and funny actions and they should build up.

For Hysterical, those Happy moodlets from a nice environment actually help.

(What happened to my other comment? Why the Approval process? Am I on some kind of probation? Or was it posting a link?)

Really? Okay, good to know.

if too many funny things happen at once like someone wets themselves in front of your sim, tells jokes a lot, your sim will go into hysteria. I wish they didn't die of hysteria right away.

Don't exactly know, but it's not always straight away, it sems to be random, not sure what, but Cassandra died seconds after becomign Mortified, and when I tried to get the Enraged and alter on Embarassed, it was not straight away.
