I think burning Sims alive is the worst. In The Sims 1, a lot of my Sims died in fires. Some of them were intentional (the rocket really came in handy), and some weren't.
Their screams were truly bone-chilling.
Ah yes, they really could scream in TS1... They toned it down for some reason.
They toned it down because Sims was originally marketed to a more mature audience rather than children and preteens. This is not a dig at the players, it's a dig at EA. The game was simply more sophisticated in the beginning as far as gameplay went. Now they're afraid of offending everyone so the violence (and fun) have been made much more cartoonish. (I'm not talking graphics here - I'm talking gameplay.)
Oh, and thanks for sharing that awesome video! :)
