There is a warning moodlet the first time a shark comes around - gives plenty of time to get out of the ocean. The video above shared by EgonVM has the sims purposely stay in the water after the warning to get the shark attack death.
Does seem very odd that a teen sim died so quickly - all I can think of is a mod causing it or it was a glitch.
Well, I forgot to clarify that.
The moodlet expiring may not be the cause. I tried if it can happen in Lani St. Taz (The island with Simoleon Beach) as I have seen sims encounter sharks there. My sims encountered sharks, but no matter how long they were there, they weren't pulled underwater.
There has been many theories on this forums. Some say it happens when a sim encounters a shark twice withing 3 hours, some say that it happens only at night etc. When I have tested it out, I had varying results. Some sims were pulled underwater without the shark moodlet, some sims were pulled underwater with the moodlet, it happened for some during the daytime, for some during the nighttime. Though one was clear: sims were swimming in ocean for about 12 hours or more before they started being pulled underwater. Sometimes, after one sim has been pulled underwater, the other nearby gets pulled underwater. When I sent new sims from the Gallery to the place where it happened, they were pulled underwater some time after encountering a shark.
Oh, and I discovered another thing with it. Children cannot be pulled underwater, even though they can encounter sharks.
So for me, it's a rare event that can happen in Mua Pel'am. If you want your sims to swim in ocean safely, Ohan'ali Town is the place.
