Sims dying of laughter

In all the time that I have played, only one sim has ever died of laughter.

I've never had any sim die of laughter or any other emotional death. I believe it is because i'm kind of a micromanager, as i've recently been realizing...

If your sim has a couple of big happy moodlets then other little ones can add up fast, and all it takes is +1 playful to set them over the edge. Stuff like a great holiday following a wedding or new baby is what has put mine in the danger zone. There’s often a playful moodlet that comes through laundry so that’s one of the reasons I avoid laundry now because it can really happen out of nowhere.

I have only recently seen Sims become "Hysterical", rather than just "Very Playful", which is where I generally try to head things off with a mirror and "Try To Calm Down", so I do wonder whether emotional balance has been re-calibrated, perhaps with the Spa Day refresh?

No one has died of it yet, but I do feel a need to be more vigilant lately.

This is exactly what happened both times. They bypassed very playful and became hysterical after putting on warm laundry so I sent them to calm down. My sim last night was in the middle of calming down with the mirror when she just stopped and croaked

I actually had one of my sims die from laughter just after marrying my sim recently

I have a sim that constantly tries to die from hysteria! If I didn't use a cheat to get rid of it she would have already died. Grandfather Winter came and she got her present and immediately went to hysterical and was dying. I didn't save that lol. No other sim does this but her and it's annoying.

I'm glad I saw this thread. Nikita was super duper giddy with happiness the other day. I'm not even sure how she got so happy, but I sent her off to do something that settled her down. I'll be watching more carefully, I like her too much to let her die laughing. I'm glad now I didn't give her the cheerful trait, she probably would have been a goner!

Since buying the game in 2015 I have had 1 sim die of laughter and 2 from anger, and one of those I had to spend 30 irl minutes making it happen for the Black Widow Challenge. The second was Judith Ward while researching the anger emotion for a gig. I personally wish it happened more often as it’s one of only a very very very few spontaneous things that ever happen in this game.

I have had a few sims die of laughter, what is really rare is from embarrassment. I had one die of that fairly recently and I just had to clutch my pearls and then laugh lol

I haven't noticed a huge increase, dying of laughter has always been the most common danger in my games, after freezing to death lol. It's just way too easy to be super happy. Tho, with some sentiments now causing playfulness, and the new like system which can add even more random happy moodlets, just walking into a room can sometimes cause instant hysteria these days.

That's what happened with this sim, who was so happy spending Winterfest with her family and got a playful moodlet from having a sentiment with one of her kids. Walked into the room where they were decorating the tree, and BOOM, dead before I even I had a chance to do anything about it lol.

Fortunately in this case Grim listened to her husband's pleas and took pity on them, choosing not to take her away on a holiday right in front of her four children :(
