OMG! Why won’t this sim die?

So it’s crucial to my story that this guy; Michael Bell, the animal/berry guy that lives in the woods from the cottage pack, dies* in a fire. Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong! This guy will not die. Fire just does not touch him, is this part of his… “dna” or something? I don’t usually play with pre-made sims but he gets on well with my sim and they actually do things autonomously together without my input, I think it’s cute, hence why he moved in. He does die, I drowned him to test it, and he died fine lol but fire will just not kill the bugger. I locked him in a room, magic sprinklers keep appearing on the ceiling (why, I do not know, this must be a new thing with an update?) The lot doesn’t even have a fire alarm so I know I didn’t put them there, I literally built a new room, and empty room with JUST rugs just for him to burn and BAM, sprinklers. I tried again by trapping him with half walls, no sprinklers this time but the fire burns literally everything else except him. Why? Lol it’s so frustrating. HE WAS LITERALLY STANDING IN THE FLAMES. Ahhhhh lol

Like, how the hell do you kill a sim with fire? Is there a cheat or something? I’ve literally spent the last two hours trying to kill this guy, and he won’t die the way I want (it has to be a fire). What I have now is basically a paranoid sim, that is afraid of dying, fire, and for some reason, the dark? I think maybe because I trapped him in that room with no lights…

God, I feel awful lol

*edit: spelling
**edit; I’ve given up, he just refuses to die. I literally went to WAR with this sim lol He catches on fire, gets singed and then just stands in the flames while everything and everyone else burns around him. Even the cat (although at that point I just shut down the game without saving lmao) I’m so frustrated I could cry, but at the same time it’s so ridiculously hilarious. Whyyyyy? Why won’t he die in a fire lol???? He drowns with zero issue lol

funny

If you don't have mods, fire should 'kill' the Sim. As long as no one is there to put it out.
Otherwise, I had this way too many times.
Laughing to death. 5 death by laughter one day, 3 the next, 4 the next, 7 the next day. etc. It should not be where when very happy or flirty, tell a joke, then insta-death.
Why I looked for a mod to disable that dumbness. :#

HahaHAHAEhheh...

Check around outside the house, this is what turns on the automatic sprinklers to put out fires. It comes in one of three different colors, mostly either white or red.

I don’t think there is one of those but I’ll double check, if it helps, it’s the little cottage hidden away up in the hills in HOB. Cordelia’s cottage?

@itsTheSimsGuy almost sounds like he has a "fireproof" reward or hidden trait. If you use mods & worse comes to worse you can use MCCC to kill him by fiire.

I did wonder, I checked if he had any traits and he doesn’t. But the fire was literally just burning around him like he wasn’t even there. I’m going to try again in a few, I’ve been at work all day!

I checked him with MCCC, I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary (this was a new sim). I would check yours to see if there might be a trait that would have been added through the reward store. If you find it, there is possibly a cheat to remove traits.

Do you use mods at all? MCCC allows for the player to take a Sim out, and I do recall the only time I used it for that, I was given a choice of deaths. (I was playing my Ancestral game save and my 7th great-grandfather died in 1770 due to illness.)

What is his gardening skill?

I think there is an aspiration trait that makes the sim immune to fire. It is a nature aspiration. Maybe he has that trait.

Sometimes fire is glitchy for some reason as sims on fire won't burn, which can be solved by going through a loading screen...

Ummmm, I’m not sure actually. I think it’s 6-7 it’s quite high. I guess him living in the forest an all that lol I’ll check when I get to my PC.

No I checked for that, he has no special traits as far as I can tell. Unless they’re hidden

@itsTheSimsGuy I’ve had Neigborhood Stories kill him via Laughter and/or Electrocution. I’ve had many different saves so he could have died both ways in different saves.

If you have Island Living, give a random sim the Sulani Mana Trait using this cheat:

Traits.Equip_Trait Trait_Hidden_islandAncestor_Elemental

A Sim with the Sulani Mana Trait can Summon Lava Bombs every 12 sim hours. Lava Bombs can start deadly fires, and you can kill a sim by making them try and touch the lava bomb.

If the fires of Mua Pel’Am can’t kill him, I don’t know what can?
