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!
