Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
This has happened once, I was able to wait at the lot for the child of the deceased sim to arrive, I was able to chat to her and get her likes and dislikes, I then renovated the room and proceeded as normal. She did not leave the lot when asked to do so for the career, I was unable to show her the renovation and was therefore failed. I was not paid and my reputation dropped because the client had died! This seems unfair! I have allowed SIM stories to run on my game and am wondering if this could cause Sims to die even when auto aging is turned off?
@AwayWithAngels Yes, you can change every setting individually.

Just turn of death by accident and the auto-aging off as you already did and your NPCs shouldn't die anymore.
