The detective career is filled with aging sims, it seems. Day 1: my detective sim, Bowen, was *just* about to get a confession from a guilty sim when he suddenly got up and walked to the other side of the station. I was wondering why until I realized that one of his co-workers had just died of old age. Feeling it would be inappropriate to yell at the dead sim for screwing up his interrogation, he decided to Wail for Sim instead, and ended up accidentally saving her from death. :o
Fast forward to the next work day. Bowen managed to put the criminal away and was working on another case when he did the same thing: got up and witnessed the death of another co-worker of old age, this time the chief! He was actually a little sad about this one because he had grown rather fond of the chief but when it's your time to go, it's your time to go. He then goes back to work . . . until an hour later when yet ANOTHER co-worker drops dead of old age. At this point I'm thinking that the Grim Reaper is toying with Bowen, almost as if he doesn't want Bowen to get any actual work done. Bowen voices his suspicions in the only way a sim can and Grim quickly beats a hasty retreat and hasn't returned.
I am wondering if these "old age" deaths are a cover for something else, something more sinister. :s
