Played Sims Dying During Rotational Play
I thought they said during the livestream that played sims with story progression turned off wouldn't die when you're playing a different house (or rarely) but it's now happened in 2 of my 7 househol...

Oh, and here I thought it was just me. One of my teenage Sims ended up dead outside a gym while I was playing another household. I didn't even realize there was something going on. When my Sim stepped outside, there was a small crowd, a Sim covered in ice and Grim preparing to reap that Sim. When I hovered the mouse over that icy Sim, I realized it was one of my teenagers from my main household, then Grim swung his scythe and the game asked me what I wanted to do with the teen's inventory. I quit and restarted the game because if that kid really has to die, he'd better do it while I'm playing his household so his parents get to give him a proper farewell.
I've never had this issue before, story progression is turned off, neighbourhood stories are active only for NPCs but not for a single one of my households. No idea what happened there or why all of a sudden all NPC Sims decided that being out and about in t-shirts and shorts during a snow storm was a bright idea.
Yeah the random weather deaths are rough.
I've played a lot since making this post and I've not noticed the same thing happening again. Turns out I'm not overly concerned about it at the moment because I probably started with too many households, so it was a sort of blessing in disguise. One of the sims is still around as a "not in world" ghost and another remains in his household with his wife and 2 kids. Fortunately that once based off Percy Shelley so his untimely death isn't too much of a loss, and he still has his job so he can bring money in.
If I do get the same problem again with Sims I really don't want to lose, I'll definitely look at my neighbourhoods settings.
