Beware the Grim Reaper. I was playing NSB Gen. Yellow and he married right after becoming a YA. They started a family right away and just had a son. She was in a playful mood so I sent her to paint a playful picture while dad changed baby's diaper. When suddenly the game pulled me over to her dying of laughter. I'm screaming NOOOOOOOO I love this couple so much. They have been married 3 whole days. The good news is he had a death flower. The bad news is 3 seconds after Grim brought her back she died again. Again I.m screaming NOOOOOOO!!!! I didn't know if you can use the death flower more then once. ( he had a couple more ) But I tried and it worked. She is safe for now. No more playful pictures for this girl. I was in a real panic.

Well, on the bright side, she made it farther than my sim did! She married her husband, they eloped in the Willow Springs park. He's a prankster and a career comedian so I didn't think anything of him telling all kinds of jokes to her pre-wedding. They go home and she walks in their new home and he checks his pulse and keels over dead on the pavement. No death flowers because...new game, first generation, no money or skills yet and her husband didn't even make it over the threshold! Poor guy. At least he died happy, but generation 2 began with a tombstone already gracing the yard. *sigh*

Yeah I kinda wish being saved from death because of an emotional death gets overridden by stronger moodlets or those moodlets that contributed to the death get removed (the saved from death moodlet sometimes isn't enough to override stronger ones), similar to how mourning for death gets removed upon arrival. I've had Sims that died multiple times in a row from emotional deaths after being revived from the Grim Reaper.

I have a setting in mccc that prevents deaths from strong moodlets. I’m kind of 50/50 as to remove the setting cause those deaths are kind of hilarious ?

No emotional deaths is one of the first mods I installed. It always bugged me that you could lose a sim to a moodlet. Old age is the only way, if I played with aging on, that I could handle losing a sim that wouldn't drive me crazy. Too each there own though if you love playing chicken with a stack of moodlets.?

Since when stacked with lots of happy moodlets it just takes +1 playful to change to hysteria, It can really sneak up on you sometimes and I kind of wish they required a higher percentage of playful for that to happen. I thought I was going to die of hysteria last night for real. My husband shimmied over on the couch for a kiss, our noses touched and there was a huge burst of static electricity. It was too funny. I’m about 8 months pregnant now and my lungs are squashed up somewhere they’re not used to, and I could not stop laughing. Could hardly breathe. Probably good for those abs, though.

Thanks so much, @maggiemae8135 ?
I’m thinking there should be a death by acid reflux in the game because that’s the part I’m really not enjoying. ?

Try some Chamomile tea or some licorice tea. Those are supposed to help w/that. You can probably find those in a natural foods store or section of your grocery store.

As for the emotional deaths, I'm w/DaniRose on the "no emotional deaths mod!" That is essential! I think the devs went WAY overboard on implementing some of our common sayings like "embarrassed to death" or "I died laughing." I mean come on! Those are just sayings and don't mean anything!

I never knew this. I'm playing along when I get a pop-up that asks if I'm Vinnie. I always say no and hang up. But this time I said yes. I got $5,000. Then Ted Roswell called asking me where the money is. He came over mad and started breaking my computer and TV. I had the option to make him leave by fighting him. They fought twice but I got the money. I really need to take chances on these more often. Surprises way be out there.

Say what now? The only phone calls I get are the creepy hey I got friend who wants your number, the 'should I this or should I that', and Bess. I'm feeling ripped off here, well my sims are anyway.

You might try saying yes and see what happens.

I will if it ever happens. I answer all calls and I have never seen this, ever. I've gotten the one about the inheritance and staying in a haunted house but not this one.

C'mon mystery caller, call my sims!?

Everyone should try saying yes to the "happiness is 1 simoleon away" call from Bess if they haven't yet, it made me giggle.

@mightysprite If you keep saying yes she keeps calling. I only did it that one time right after Eco came out and now I can't remember how those first couple of calls went. I do remember she kept wanting a little more each time she called back.

Had a teen sim die from laughing on her birthday. She blew out the candles on her cake, went from feeling playful, to hysterical, couldn't calm down and died in the restaurant. Now, if you see your sim feeling very playful, get them to a mirror quick! Calm them down before they become hysterical. Another trick is to buy medicine from the nearest computer and have them drink it right away.

@DaniRose2143 are you sure it was the happiness call and not the investment call?
