My Sims keep dying. Literally dying especially those with hot headed trait. My sim keeps getting angry and drops dead or playful sim just keep getting hysterical and dropping dead. For heavens sake I can’t play at all. Stop this nonsense. Most people don’t notice because they make boring vanilla Sims but I like to have some crazy ones which I can’t because they keep dying. Erratic sim died on me once from hysteria and after reloading the game from anger. How can I play if my hot headed angry sim can’t be angry because they drop dead? Where is room for fun in this game. I want my hot headed evil grumpy sim to be angry. I want my playful to be hilarious and not kill their audience. You are literally killing gameplay. Not only did this game create these vanilla happy robots they are preventing me with these emotional deaths from trying to play this game with a bit more flare. I don’t want to fix the mood of my hot headed sim or my erratic sim I want them to feel the way they feel with the few options I’m allowed and not be punished for not being a clone. Erratic sim can’t be erratic. Can you add a button to disable emotional deaths. I find them unrealistic to begin with and now they have made my game unplayable. My sim keep dying. I can’t save more then 30 min of game play and then someone kicks the bucket because of absurd nonsense. The humor festival is more of a death trap. STOP EMOTIONAL DEATHS!!!!!

It sounds like you model your Sims after your own temperament, and I respect that.Hopefully there'll be some solution, but my workaround would be adding their ghosts back to the household. What is dead may never die!

I don’t like supernatural game play so that will not work for me. I appreciate the suggestion. I like my sim to feel what they want not be limited by a stupid game design. If I can turn of naps (which I did), dust (which I did) I should be allowed to turn off deaths that constantly limit and hinder game play. I mean if the threshold would be extremely high but my Sims are dropping like flies. I like my grumpy sim to be angry that what Is what I made him for. Go my angry little gnome, let the chaos begin. Make sure you start some fights. Rage rage … oh he can’t even have fun because he’s dead. Why have a hot headed sim if they can’t get angry? Why have a playful sim if they can’t laugh? Who’s idea was this nonsense? Seriously Sims only are safe when they stare at paintings, forget allowing them a personality even with the limited, bare bones options the Sims 4 game gave us.

If you're not adverse to using mods there are a couple of stand alone mods to prevent emotional death and also a setting in MCCC.

I would love to use mccc but I use mods that conflict with it. I believe mods are the only thing that save this game. But then you can add traits to make your sim really interesting but then the EA platform will kill them in an emotional death …:/ mccc is the only mod I heard that does it. I tried one from mts but my sim died anyway. I like my sim on the spicy side and don’t like to tell them that they should relax.

Funny, I would want a death for all emotions or none. If you can laugh yourself to death, why can't you die from fright? Or boredom?

Stop emotional deaths!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm now making sure my sims have the Focused Potions & Inspired Potions to help them not die by hilarious. It seems when they drink the potions they calm down.

I've never had an emotional death in my game. I didn't realize aging off disabled this feature but that must be why. I do get the warnings that their emotions are dangerously high though. I usually bring them down a bit, but not a single one has actually died from laughing or anger. **knocks on wood**

I hate emotional deaths too. I've turned them off in MCC. For the sake of those who like them though, I don't want them removed, just an option to turn them off.

I like those deaths me personally I find it's gives it more unexpected turn of events, all the other deaths are very hard to do, even starting a fire now, I do understand how this annoys some though

I really don't like the death by Hilarious, it's so dum. :s

It's the only Emotional Death other than Angry that is realistic. If you are laughing too hard you can die of asphyxiation. It has happened IRL.

Nobody would actually die of Embarrassment, however.

And we don't need to go into detail about why the Sims team didn't add Death by Sadness.

I'm curious though, OP...

How are you getting so many deaths from emotions? I also use negative traits like Hot Headed, but never had a death from it.

I think I've had one sim die of Mortification because I turned ON emotional deaths for Teens, and their moodlets go up to 50 during mood swings.

I've never had an emotional death. How often does it happen for others?

I second this. I too, think that this feature should be togglable in the gameplay settings without the use of mods or cheats. (I also have them disabled through MCCC. They were funny at first, but gets really stale in the long run.)
