What is the worst thing that ever happened to your sims?

Aside from problems inflicted by acknowledged game bugs, I once had a sim die of multiple lightning strikes while living in a haunted house. The house became very spectrally active during a thunderstorm, and had him running repeatedly in an out of his home in a state of sheer terror, until the third lightning strike killed him. It probably didn't help that he was afflicted by the Night Wraith curse at the time, and the presence of Temperance certainly didn't make matters any more bearable.

I once accidentally cheated my Sim's hunger to zero and starved her. :D I felt so bad!

Oh, dear … Death by Watcher.

I updated my game at one point (don't recall now, which patch it was, but it was some time ago). I even made a backup of my save, first. But tried to play the game with the save that went through the updating process. For some very odd reason, the game started to target my main Sim, Erik Cantrell. He was killed twice. First time I was gobsmacked and curious as to what happened. I rolled back a save (I always do a Save-As) and discovered his older brother cracked a joke that Erik found so funny he laughed himself to death. Rolling back, I was able to avoid Aaron and his deadly jokes. Got a bit farther along in my gameplay. Then I found Erik dead in front of his vault. He was living with his sister and brother-in-law, so I was keeping his income separate. Again, I had no clue as to what killed him and I'm uncertain if I ever found out. He was on the verge of dying yet a third time in the game, when I brought this curiosity to the forums. Another player, thankfully, asked if I hadn't made a backup prior to updating? That's what sparked my memory. I switched the saves and the game left Erik alone after that!

My sim once got a gravestone as a gift for winterfest, then the next week went on vacation to El Savadorada. There they met their death in the temples, spooky?

I would have to say, that the worst thing that could happen to a sim is having the death by killer rabbit debug cheat backfire. My intended target was Agnes Crumplebottom (because the hateful shrew had assaulted Benjamin with her lead handbag), but the cheat killed Benjamin instead. I exited to main menu without saving.

The very first game I ever played (TS4 base game launch day) I finally moved in to this cute starter home, my Sim made grilled cheese and died in a fire within the first 10 mins.

Another bad thing that happened once was that on one of my legacy games (3rd generation), I left the game on Speed #2 so I could go eat breakfast. I came back to a fire and my favorite kid Sim (the one I wanted to play next) died. So I had no idea how to bring him back, didn't want to restart the game because I had played A LOT so just went on with the story.

I had an interesting experience once; I don't know If I would call it the worst thing that ever happened, but it was really neat in the moment. Around the time I first learned the cas full edit cheat. On console you have to enter the cheat then walk to a mirror and choose change sim. Thats what I done with my sim's wife. I made her Body parts (you can guess which ones) bigger...well when I was done loading, and the game came back on...... my wife sim immediately turned to the screen looked right in the camera and did this expression and gave me this look like how could you..... like she was disgusted by the fact I would change her from her natural way. Any way you would have to have seen it. If I remember correctly Our relationship bar went down after I did this cheat on her. It was interesting to me that the developers put this animation and stuff in the game. One reason I posted this here is because it was somewhat bad, for a short while ...I felt sort of bad for doing the edit to her because she did that reaction thing.

I have, on occasion, had some less than interesting members of my played household repeatedly dive into a pond of hungry sharks. Not meaninglessly, though- their vacant spot allowed me to have more cats! Very cute cats!

I also reset the pond because grim was taking his sweet ol' time arriving, accidently and permanently losing their gravestone. Not my best moment.

Teen girl sim died to murphy bed.

Leaving behind her mother, with whom she had a troubled relationship that never had a chance to resolve, her mom's new nesting partner Miko Ojo who had only just moved in and was beginning to build a good relationship with her, and her toddler half-brother who adored her. Brother has become a somewhat peculiar child. Fortunately, in the Spice District, ghosts seem to come around a lot.



When your mom yells at you for getting yourself killed (you can see the murphy bed Z in her chest here)

I’ve told this story before but whatever…

My very first Sims experience was Sims 1 for PS2. I created a family. One evening the mum cooked dinner, the stove caught fire… as did she. The Grim Reaper showed up and I was terrified. I vowed to never play the game again… famous last words :D :D :D I do occasionally boot up my PS2 and play, but I always make sure to not give families a stove when I first start playing them, only a microwave. Then, when they have a few cooking skill points (usually around 3-4) I’ll add a stove and fire alarm.
