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

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.

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.

Can you tell me which MC Command I need to download? Is it in the basic mod or do I need to download one of the sub categories?

I had one of my sims die of laughter after he had just finished celebrating Winterfest with his husband and kids. He had a bunch of happy moodlets because of it and I think his alien toddler must have told him a joke. I tried calming him down in the mirror, but it was too late and he ended up dying in the bathroom.

Now, I disable emotional deaths with MCCC. I appreciate the fact that they're there for people who want them, but I hate how easy they are to achieve, especially the playful one. If you take good care of your sims and they have nice houses, they're just one joke or bubble bath away from dying. I don't think they should get rid of them as there are people who still like them, but I wish sims didn't constantly have a bunch of happy moodlets that make it easier to become hysterical.

@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?

Also, dead Sims can be revived, don't forget. Both with Ambrosia and by an accomplished spellcaster who knows Dedeadify. It's really not that disastrous or difficult to mend.

For sure that plays a role too. A hot-headed sim more easily dies an angry death, for example. I also wonder whether there is a greater risk of some of these emotional deaths if you have more packs installed > more factors that add to the sims' mood. That is a theory I have, at least. And of course, like others write in this thread, affluent sims with many objects more easily become happy to the very to the hysterical.

I have never had an accidental emotional death in my game since I started playing in 2015...have to say, I’m a little jealous.

I usually send my sims to a mirror to calm themselves down, or remove a bunch of the happy buffs with MCCC. Honestly, it's not that hard to avoid the emotional deaths.

Reasons why one of my oldest mods is one to prevent emotional deaths. I've always hated them.
