Murphy bed death

You know, it probably ought to be toned down some but I'm finding it hard any more to have sims die from anything other than hysteria and old age. I really would like to see more sims die in different ways because I miss some of the challenge that comes from having a sim die prematurely. It can really change how you play a household. When you have certain traits, an Elder's life stage is way too long. Just look at some of your sims with the SimsInfo mod. Elders go on forever it seems and I run out of space in the house for the next generation way too often and can't do what I really want to do with the families. Of course, the few that do die prematurely in my game often seem to be the ones I really like and don't want to die early too. It's never the ones I really want to get rid of. So I'm sort of conflicted on the whole thing.
