What do you think of accidental deaths?

Well personally, my sims avoid it by giving the Werewolf Immortality trait.  This trait works even after the Werewolf Occult is removed.  Can any simmer say Ooo.  Yup, I can't help myself giving all my beloved sims that.

Well... I try to accept the accidental deaths, but there have been two times I quit without saving 😅 The first one was when I was playing another family and my superstar Sofia Bjergsen froze to death. I didn't want to lose her and her dog, so I quit.

The other one happened yesterday when I was trying to complete extreme sport enthusiast aspiration with Morgan Goth (nee Fyres). It was freezing outside and she was in her sport outfit and walking oh so slowly to the bathroom. I tried to make her change her outfit, but the game wouldn't let me and she froze to death. Her husband Ilias Goth tried to save him but it didn't work and I was just so frustrated that I quit without saving... I now kind of wish I hadn't done that and had just made her ambrosia or something, but oh well.

Then the accidental deaths I accepted... The first one was when Ilias' father Conrad Goth caught on fire from the fireplace on Winterfest eve. He died super fast and the game wouldn't let his wife plead or anything. It was very dramatic, but I actually loved it 😅

The second one was when Tidy Pancakes was a child and I was playing at the Von Haunt estate. The Knights of the Hedge club gathered there and vampire teen Wolfgang Munch died from the sunlight. Tidy couldn't save him, but later Tidy and her grandmother Elle Pancakes necrocalled Wolfgang so that I could make him join his vampire boyfriend Alberto Caliente's household as a ghost. I actually really like him being a ghost! They live in a big vampire castle together in Windenburg 😊

There may have been other cases, but I don't remember them now. So in the end I think accidental deaths are kind of a double edged sword. They do happen rarely, though, so I think I would like to have them more often 💀💀 

I have had only one. In my game, they seem to be too easy to avoid. Warnings are given, time is given, nothing seems a surprise or a shock - except the once, when my sim got killed by the Murphy bed just after that pack was released. I think they nerfed it later when people moaned, to add less chance, make it more easy to avoid etc. Even going tomb raiding or swimming with sharks isn't dangerous. So many things have been nerfed in this game.

The trouble is, when you've got a sim out looking through the telescope and it warns you a meteor is coming, it kind of feels wrong to ignore that warning. It has taken the surprise away, so if you let your sim die anyway it is more like a deliberate act on your part. I want to be surprised. I mean, there is always an option to quit without saving, so why can't they just allow a bit more randomness?
