With no warning my mom sims died of laughter. I am so mad.

Yeah, they place far too much emphasis on emotions in this game. I'd prefer to see more interesting game play than these silly emotions ruling your character all the time. Another one I really never understood was getting angry over watching a bad movie. Really? Angry? I've been disappointed after seeing a bad movie but never angry. That seems a bit mental.

Perhaps you haven't seen a new movie in your favorite franchise totally ruin your favorite movie from the first six movies put out starring the Original Cast. Happened to me, and yeah, I got pretty angry over it. So angry, I refused to go out and see anymore of this newer casts' ventures. In fact, I spit on the director and producer of this crappola. Angry enough for you?

And just for the record a human can 'laugh' themselves to death. It triggers a heart-attack. Since this has obviously upset you, why not roll back a save to prevent this untimely death? Or, if you wish to play out this misfortune, regarding it as a twist in your plot, create another Sim to plop down into the household to save your game. Or, if it's already lost, consider remaking your Sims and starting over. I know, I know, a lot of lost time and the game won't play out the same way. But, if you're really grieved over the loss, this is the best advice I can give.

I tried to play forward after my Global Superstar's only sister and his brother-in-law both died Hysterical deaths in the span of the same evening. That left my Global Superstar and his 'girlfriend' in charge of his identical twin toddler nephews. Things went from bad to worse and I was certain Social Services would take the wee ones out of their home. Long story short, I restarted the game save. (I always keep copies of my Sims/families in My Library.) These two deaths were the very first (and second) emotional deaths in my game. Only happened a few months ago and I've been playing this game since release. I hope you're not advocating for EA to further dumb down the game by taking away one of the few random type deaths left in this game.

If you wish to eliminate all emotional deaths, I would advocate you install the MCCC mod. You can turn such deaths off. I reluctantly did so after my Global Superstar seemed targeted by the game itself! I rolled back a game save to see just what set off the fatal fit of laughter. Turned out his older brother told a joke … I prevented the death, but the game got him a tad later, killing him this time just as he was about to enter the castle. I finally remembered I had a back up saves folder. I changed that out, set MCCC to stop emotional death and have been able to play ever since, hoping EA might tweak it a tad, or at least fix the odd bug that targeted certain of my Sims. :open_mouth:

I turned off emotional deaths with MC Command Center. It's such a dumb design choice to me and I don't want it in my game.

What can mc command NOT do? Lol everyday I discover something new. I'm totally going to do this too. Thanks.

I don’t really have a problem with emotional deaths. Haven’t had a sim die by accident yet. It’s entirely preventable as well by sending your sim to sleep it out or calming them down via mirror.

In fact I’d say deaths are far too hard to achieve. I appreciate people don’t want their sims life to be taken away by chance but it adds more potential storytelling and makes interesting scenarios. Also with a bit of work you can resurrect them. Making a sim deliberately die just...doesn’t feel right.

I have no idea why this nonsense is part of the game.

@Arzekial Is the "bad movie" angriness from movie stuff?

Not sure. Although, I do have the pack.

In my case I was having a super bowl party and was having to pay attention to multiple sims. I didn't even notice she was hysterical until it was to late and the death chime happened. She was the prettiest Sim I had ever had too. :(

I've recently had this happen to the matriarch of my 100 Baby Challenge, luckily she had just had her last kid, but that meant the new matriarch was a 1 day old baby raised by her sister.

I had recently installed the Slice of Life mod and I found my Sims were constantly "Hysterical" due to a personality trait. I'm sure they're still ironing out that system but for now I uninstalled it.

@BatmanFanGirl Download and install all the modules. The only one you might not want is the Risky ...... one. Not sure if I can give out the name of that one because of the Teen blahblah stuff. But it's a seperate download. Once you make changes, the next time MCCC is updated delete all the modules except the one that says 'Settings' then install the newest version. This will save whatever changes you have made and you won't have to set everything again. And if you want to know more about MCCC it has it's own discussion thread in the Mods and CC Category here on this forum. After making some changes you might be prompted to exit then restart the game. Make sure you delete the LocalThumbCache before restarting the game or those changes won't be set when you go to play again.

Wow I never actually had a Sim die accidentally from a emotion death before, usually I need to go through a lot of effort to get them to the point of death and even then they just don't feel like it. I actually don't think my sims even get hysterical that often, maybe it's the traits I'm giving them?
