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?

The collectibles from the digs - My Sims. I put them in my children's rooms to keep the areas Playful. No one can go near the rooms without catching the emotion. Gosh, now I kinda want to try offing one of the siblings with this Hysteria death. Such deviance all of you!

Having my sim take a bubblebath, be in a room with that MySims thing and read a comedy book or look at comedy on TV or tell lots of jokes and BAM, my sims are hysterical. I usually take them out of that mood by having them do something else quickly or go to bed. :D I really don't like the emotional deaths.

I think the rare Mysims have +3 And I have seen some with +1 and +2. I think they all add together. I will have to pay closer attention the next time I go to the playground because kids can't die of hysteria.

The +3 does not add +3 moodlets, because it would be crazy if for every piece of decor you had you would just rack up points like crazy, they contribute to which "Decorated" moodlet you get, and which emotional moodlet you will get (in case there's several different types).

I had it happen but it was a challenge
You have to maintain the hysteria and I found that crazy hard (as soon as I had it, one moodlet would disappear making her less playful).

Playful Moodlets
- Have a sim eat gummy worm pankcakes.
- Have a Sim tell the worlds funniest joke (I think you have to reach the top of the comedy aspiration).
- Have them watch the comedy channel
- Have them take playful bath
- Have them reminisce over a funny memory
- Keep them in a room with playful paintings (have your sim paint one if they haven't).
- Have them make a playful wood statute (look at it and you get +2)
- Tell Jokes etc.

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.
