OMG This Game !!!

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.

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


    My bad I thought you were talking about the investment call. I thought that was the only one Bess did.
  • @mightysprite I didn't know Bess did a happiness call. She's like my relatives, she only calls when she wants money from me.

    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*


    Oh the poor thing. I hope she finds happiness some day.
  • @babajayne Yes, it IS absolutely worth it.

    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!


    Actually, it is possible to laugh yourself to death. Ultimately it ends in a cardiac arrest. Seriously, look it up. Being embarrassed to death may be rather iffy Some people say "I thought I was going to die' referencing to just how embarrassed they were. But to die laughing can and does happen.

    That's good to know @Behappy1st. I always hang up on those kind of calls.

    > 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.

    Whaaa? That's awesome.

    I had this exact scenario. I had the daughter of my favorite sim couple get married after dating for a while, attending college reaching almost the top of the tech career, etc. etc. then she gets married, buys a nice house and has twins. The she dies of hysteria! I didn't have a death flower so I had to recover and earlier save. I tried to avoid her getting playful but it happened again! So I said to myself, NO, shes's not dying this time. Now, in every save I have death flowers and a fully leveled spell caster who can de-deathify.
  • @mightysprite I did that once, but after like the third call I stopped saying yes, so I have no idea where it ends.? I was like she's not going to give my poor sim a break if I don't put a stop to this. How far did you follow it?

    I had no idea it was a serial sort of thing-- I thought it was just the one moodlet
