Very recently, maybe in the last few days, a LOT of my sims are becoming playful and then very playful and then hysterical and that's leading to death by laughterIt's so bad I've had 3 sims nearly die in one gaming session from hysteria (it happens real fast) and I had to exit the game so they wouldn't die and when I get back I can't play as them for several sim days or the hysteria is still activeIs anyone else having a hysterical death problem? I have aging off and haven't seen the reaper in my game until CoL and the death of livestock brought back death... and now death by laughter quite specifically

I'm not. My sims very rarely become playful, maybe after a bath, but that's about it.

No, can’t say I have. Is there something on your lot triggering the moodlet maybe that you can remove?

I turned off emotional deaths with MCCC. It's not really something I enjoy having in the game.

Was the latest batch of laundry "dry and warm"? That gives a playful mood. And coupled with enough positive moodlets, it may make a sim hysterical.

I've checked without mods and the playful moodlet is still fairly strong and will build on buffs towards hysterical but I'm cutting it off best by having them do push ups to become energizedNone of them have the goofball trait because my goofballs in the past overly pranked toilets so I don't pick that trait any moreNo laundry issues, namely they don't do laundry I've been watching the moodlets and it almost seems to be coming from various stories and then builds really quickly. Like funny story, outrageous story etc. I can't say this is the exact reason but the playful moodlet is suddenly quickly dominant and builds to hysteria quickly if I'm not watching close

Sometimes I think I'm the only person who has never, ever witnessed death by emotion in my game.

I'm happy to say that I haven't either. :)

@Sindocat I have naps disabled and checked just in case and none are in effect. So this playful thing is rather bizarre to me at this point but still dealing with bouts of hysteria with tonight's game ??‍♀️

Surprised hysteria cannot just make Sims have to see a doctor or gain some sort of unique insane trait.

It tends to happen after weddings especially if your sim got married shortly after getting engaged and has both big moodlets. Add some more happy moodlets, maybe a good holiday, and one playful moodlet sets it right over the edge.
