This is one of the few things I feel very strongly about. For me the killing of any sim is just wrong. I remember when ghosts were first introduced into TS4 and the forum was full of threads on ways to murder them. There was even a thread on how to get a ghost baby :( I wrote my own thread at the time, partly in jest, to complain about the situation and was horrified to discover how blood thirsty a lot of simmers really are.

For TS4 it is not entirely the simmers fault but the fact if you want a ghost of a certain type the game forces you to create your own. You do however have a choice about going along with what the game is making you do or resisting.

Back in October 2014 we formed a society for the protection of abused sims and the education of simmers. Perhaps it is time to resurrect the society :) The joke went on so long we were even planning bake sales, coffee mornings and a Christmas Carol concert.

Obviously how each of us play is a personal thing and there is no right or wrong way. It is also obvious this is video violence and in no way comparable to real life but even so some do feel an emotional attachment to their sims and would hate to see them harmed.

I just killed off my Simself by drowning. That was honestly a little unpleasant to watch. But I only did it for science! Er, actually, I needed to try out something, so I didn't save - therefore "I" am still alive. ;)

All jokes aside, it is an interesting twist that you have to have your Sim watch someone die in order to complete an ambition. You'd think there would be other mean/mischievous actions that could do the trick.

I know the Sims franchise is a parody of real life but by making TS4 this way it does seem to be pushing the violence. Now this is fine when you are reasonably mature and have a clear understanding of fiction v reality but for younger more impressionable minds I am not so sure. That might sound a bit OTT but but it has crossed my mind more than once it is one of the more suspect aspects of the game. I am so glad to hear that you did not save your game and yes I can imagine it was rather unpleasant to watch. I lost one of my favourite sims to a shark in IP and it was a total shock.

If you are interested I attach the link to my original thread.

I’m trying to make a Sim (in Sims 4) that has died of every cause. So far he has died of
Hunger
Drowning
Freezing
Cow plant
Fire
Overexertion
Mother Plant
I am having trouble killing him by embarrassment and anger, any suggestions?
Also is there any more causes of death I missed?

Here's the following death I could remember:
Wishing well (Romantic Garden)
Death by Pufferfish (City Living)
Overheating/steamy? (Spa Day/Seasons)
Rodent Fever (My First Pet Stuff)
Rocket Fail... I don't know what it's called, but sims can die when they're failed to try to go to space

As for killing them by embarrassment or anger, you could set them up a scene. Make them wet their pants, walk in someone's privacy or being rejected when proposing (I haven't tried it but I've seen simmers here doing the same method)

And one of my sims died of anger after arguing with his enemy and caught his wife cheating on him. It's pretty easy :p

But if you don't mind cheating, there's a cheat to reach those specific emotions, but I don't remember...

Thanks I will try that :)

Making a vampire die in the sun is pretty fast and easy. I do that when I need to summon the reaper ?‍♀️

With Seasons it's very easy to kill off sims. In Summer wait for a hot day (heat wave not needed) and dress them in winter outfit, in Winter dress them in summer hot wear. Send them outside. They will burn/freeze to death within a few hours. Cheating down their need bars will make it go quicker.
