I don't know of a way to turn off deaths without a mod. Except to turn of aging, but that only prevents old age deaths. Was something added?
When I first got the game I used this cheat to test it and I had no deaths at all. I don't know if it's been changed but I had no deaths when I used it.
"death.toggle" : Toggles the true/false value of death – when off, death is disabled and no sims will die.
I didn't know that was a thing. I wonder if the game come automatically set to 'off'. :)
I've only ever had two death in the game (other than random old age). The first was a neighbor that walked into my house (uninvited) and died. The Reaper came and got him, and my Sim family didn't even look up from dinner.
The second was an elder that I kept forcing to woohoo even though they were exhausted. I had to force the death. His girlfriend stood on his corpse and flirted with the Reaper, and after the Reaper was gone, she went on with life as if nothing ever happened.
This is why I mostly stick to building now.
I had to turn it off so I think the game came with death on.
I know some things changed as the game developed but this is what was said at Sims camp (pre release).

Speaking of which, EA have changed their philosophy on death for Sims 4. They realized that some things in previous games made death almost not fair and as funny as it was to die by having a satellite land on you from above, it just wasn't right. In Sims 4, death will only ever be a result of your actions, or age, and before a Sim does die from your actions, there will be plenty of warning signs before the event occurs! One thing for sure though; depressed Sims will not commit suicide! EA had no desire to 'gamify' tragic events.
