I do not know if this has been mentioned or not but my Sims wife died and their child got very sad. This little boy witnessed the death. I looked to see how long he would be sad and it said two days. I wanted to comfort him some how so I sent he to the mirror but he was crying at the mirror.
So I sent him to play with his bear. He was just so sad he made me sad when he went to his big stuffed bear and used the bear's paw to dry his eyes. He hugged him then talked to the bear and did it again. It was so sad! I had to stop playing for awhile.
I really despise the emotional deaths. They happen so suddenly with little time for the player to react. By the time I noticed his mom was already switched to hysterical was the dad was at work. No one could save her.
I sent her to the mirror to try to calm down. It was too late. She died in the hall on the way to the mirror . Not sure if I am going to be able to play this family again. She just had twin boys. So the husband has his hands full but their little boy is so sad. I can't deal with it!
