Which of your sims suffer the most?

Wow, that's a great question, one I never really thought about until now. I think it's either Florida Man or Buzz Hivekeeper. Buzz' sole job is to rile up the bee boxes in any establishment I build, and he gets stung a lot

All my sims suffer somehow but to rank their suffering seems kind of hard like are we talking physical or emotional damage and does the duration of suffering make difference

overall I think its good luck to die fast in my save (I mean how much suffering can one fit in such short time) but also imagine being eaten by cowplant for a second... yeah. uh. I don't know.

I also kind of enjoy empowering dislikeable characters like Vlad so they probably get less suffering on regular but then again I do like epic death so if Vlad was to die...

eh idk let's just say there is some cosmic balance to it

I'm just a sentimental softy and I can't bear to see anything bad happen to any of my favorites. Some mild misfortune and disappointments but actual suffering, no way. Now should a baddie ever appear that wishes to cause them harm, well that benevolence won't extend to the baddie.

Good point! I think a good counter would be how often I, as the player notice the suffering, either as "Aw, poor Jacques" or "Hehe, Jacques will so not like this". That would make two instances of consciously noted suffering, regardless of quality. (That sounded soooo bad :s )

There's also the difference between actual ingame suffering and story-only suffering. Much of what I put my sims through is not real ingame.
Like when using poses to stage a brawl or putting them into prison with real uncomfortable looking beds that actually have a good energy value (after all, they need to be available quickly again for that sweet, sweet prison work income. Good beds = Less sleep = More woodworking).

My favorites definitely suffer most. I'm a monster

I'm not sure how I would answer this. I don't intentionally make my sims suffer but I do allow my game (with the help of mods) to decide my sims' fate. I don't restart or revert back to a previous save when something unexpected happens. I deal with it. If my sim get abducted by aliens 6 times (which has happened), they raise the kid.

I'd say that counts as "all sims suffer equality", because even though in practise some will suffer more/less than others, you decided to be impartial in this matter.

Nope, I'm one of those that make existence cushy for my sims...living vicariously and all. :D With that being said, I'm not backing down when some other, not so nice, sim decides they are going to start trouble, Ha! A nice zipzap or chillio spell will clear any confusion up. >:)

Taking Morgyn Ember through Joseph Campbell’s “Heroes Journey” was actually the whole point of my fantasy save. Now, on the other side of it, he doesn’t really have “suffering.” Conflict, yes. Suffering, no. His previous journey and suffering led to the formation of the Myst, so now I’m just basically playing around with the characters that inhabit this world that Morgyn’s journey created.

If I had to pick one character that still suffers, it would be Rowan the Cursed Spellcaster. Being cursed is hard. Living in Forgotten Hollow is hard. He could relocate to The Myst, but there’s that little problem of his crush on Lilith Vatore. Love’s hard.

I have always been a very gloomy person and for that it has always been my most important and beloved character, who had to suffer the most. Many people find that irritating but it has helped me a lot. So well... my favorite Sim also has a gloomy trait and some other traits as well that make him feel uncomfortable from time to time. But in the game, I tend to prefer trying to make him happy than letting him suffer.
The Sims is just not exactly the same as my stories.
