pleading for a loved one-- what are the odds?

I'd say it's fairly low, I've only been successful in pleading for life once. And my one experience, and those I've seen and heard from other simmers, your sim only gets one extra day, so I just don't even bother anymore.

For me personally my odds are pretty equal. But if you didn't know a sim that has a Confident or Flirty mood has better chances. My sims don't live long after pleading anyway so I don't plead unless I need them to finish my story.

okay thanks. it's interesting you say it's low though, because it's worked for me every time i've tried it

It has never worked for me but I rarely try. I let the game play out without much interference.

My sim died of a cardiac explosion due to anger when he caught his wife cheating on him with his best friend. His wife, who by now was an enemy, was successful in pleading for his life. I think it must be a bit random...

Better than the odds in real life.

I have had it work like 3 Times. Seems like it is 50/50.

I have no idea of what the odds are, but it's totally not worth it in the long run. When I was playing Pinstar's Legacy Challenge, I was into my second generation. My heir was a Detective. He lost his partner, in a really strange rash of police deaths at the station. :open_mouth: He was on very good terms with his partner and Grimmie granted his request to spare that Sims' life. However, when they headed over to the latest crime scene, his partner died outside on the deck by the pool. "We need some chalk here. Please, outline this additional body, and no the perp isn't responsible for this one. The guy had a bad ticker." Face/palm.

The only time it has worked for me was when my sim froze to death in an alien spacecraft, go figure, and she died right after they dropped her off. Her roommate demanded grimy bring her back to life and it worked. But she is still living way past the one day...so I don't know about the length of life of sim after revived by grim reaper. It's the only time it has worked, lol.

It worked once for me.
I purposely chose a child with a high charisma skill, the dying Sim was an elder and only lived one more Sim day after pleading for them. When your times up it's up I guess :anguished:
