Oh my gosh this happened to me the other night! I have NEVER had such a short lived Sim. I'd been waiting to buy Strangerville until it went on sale. I finally just bought it last weekend (it will now go on sale, just watch...) and created my Sim to be my hero of Strangerville. Like anytime I create a new Sim, I took... forever.
Finally, I moved her in and started her up in a freelance career so she could work from home while simultaneously solving the town's mysteries. She went to sleep after a long day of mingling with weirdos, playing with her cat, and doing a couple freelance gigs. Her cat woke her up early, so she decided to make some eggs and bacon. Big mistake, Level 1 Cooking Skill havin plum...
She promptly caught on fire and died. I did try to make her run to the shower to extinguish herself, and it didn't come up as an option because she was on fire... I'm like, I KNOW, that's why I'm trying to get in the shower???
I think some Sims' fates are determined for them before we even get a chance :D I also reloaded to the last point I saved which is, habitually, when she was asleep. You know I did not let her COOK this time around.
