I don't have them disabled because I feel like they do make for some really interesting plot twists! Emotional deaths are fun in some forms, because they make me rewrite all of the storylines and take them to different places which is really interesting! The downside to emotional deaths is that they can be really problematic. I remember when I was playing the not so berry challenge, and my Green sim (Sage) was having a birthday party for her toddler - The Blue Generation (Skye) and she was lying about her career to one of her friends (an interaction that she did herself - not me) and for some weird reason, Sage found this so, so funny, that she started to become literally hysterical and I couldn't calm her down in time. She died, and I hadn't even completed any of the challenges for the Green generation! I was literally so annoyed as I had played for hours without saving (idiotic...i know) and I had to select "Don't Save" and go back to before that horrible birthday party. The next time the toddler had her birthday party, a guest died right there and then of sadness. I don't exactly know why but Sage then had the urn in her house and she was constantly mourning this person. In the 100 baby challenge that I'm doing right now, my matriarch sim (Lila) was only on the 23rd baby, and she WooHoo'd with Mortimer Goth (Hey, I was desperate!!) and she turned out not to be pregnant, which really made her so upset, she was sad for ages. It was also Harvestfest on that day, and Lila was paying attention to other matters (babies) and so she didn't do anything to celebrate, which made her even sadder. Then, to top it off, one of her neighbour friends died of old age, and that made her so sad because she was at his house when he died. The final straw was when she was hosting a party and had a massive argument with one of her ex-WooHoo's and ended up dying of anger. She was already in a horrible mood, and that sort of fuelled her anger and angry death. Basically, I have them enabled, but I sort of wish that I didn't! Happy Simming :) x
