At this point, I think this is a bug. I started trying to kill her by starving her, but once the timer hit zero she didn't die. Then I tried using a sauna. She got the Superfluous Steaming moodlet, but now every time I try to get her to go back in the sauna she turns it off. I tried a few cheats, which didn't work. Finally, I tried using the Simocide mod, but SHE STILL WON'T DIE. The mod didn't work. Is there something wrong with my game? At this point it has to be a glitch. She has been ravenous for like two full Sim days.

Did you try the cheat to remove the trait ? traits.remove_trait <name of the trait> (type it as shown in Sims Info)I think the root issue here is that the Sim was used as a suspect. The suspects should only be temp Sims.Did you meet that Sim on the street/public lot ?

@WavegirlI've read up on this and some people seem to have found no way of fixing it, but they have not tried this. Google 'More CAS Traits for Sims Mod updated for Cats & Dogs patch'Download the last file, 'Add Traits in Regular Menu Mod'Then I think you click on the sim in-game and choose "Remove Trait", but I'm not 100% sure. I had the mod before but do not remember. Otherwise, you can try shift-clicking 🙂

Ugh. That was such an excellent idea but for some reason that trait doesn't show up as a trait I can remove. :-(I'm just going to have to delete one of my legacy sims aren't I?Is there a way to report this to the Sims developers as a problem to patch later?

Oh my gosh it worked! Sorry, I didn't see the cheat box instructions only the pop-up box ones. But it worked!Yes, I found him at a public lot. Part of the legacy thing is you have to marry random NPC sims. In future I will screen my sim's potential suitors.Thank you so much for your help. :-)

@WavegirlReset your files to factory settings.Make a backup; copy your The Sims 4-folder from C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to an external drive or somewhere else on your computer, for example your desktop.Rename the The Sims 4-folder in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to The Sims 4_backupStart the game, make a new save, and see if the error is gone. (The game will have created a new The Sims 4-folder in your documents, this is supposed to happen)If yes, continueIf no, post a reply telling us the error is still thereStart putting folders back in the new The Sims 4-folder. Observe! After every file/folder, start the game and make sure it still works, before putting in the next one.Options.ini - your game settingsSaves - your old saves. The sub-folders are not needed. If putting these back causes problem, try putting one back at a time.ScreenshotsCustom music - if you have anyTray - your library objects; like lots, rooms and simsMods - your mods and cc, might cause problems when putting backIf putting back one of the folders was problematic and you did not work it out, please post a reply and we'll see if we can find what your problem is!Source: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/the-sims/the-sims-4/backing-up-and-resetting-the-sims-4/Good Luck! 🙂

Are you using any other mods ?

No. I only started using cheats and mods when she wouldn't die of starvation.

Now the simocide mod will give her a ravenous moodlet and cause her to go into hunger failure... but she doesn't die. I wish I had an elder sim so I could see if nothing will die.

Can the Sim age ?

I think I figured out what was going on. I still don't know why the sauna wasn't working, but it seems like this particular sim was immune to starvation. Whenever her hunger maxed out she would pull out something and eat it. Other sims I tried the mod on didn't do this. I decided to just delete her instead. I wish there were reliable ways of killing sims besides starvation.

I find drowning and cowplant the most reliable

It seems like sims that drown now die of starvation, not exhaustion. I've been messing around with the simocide mod and found a substantial number of sims that can't die of starvation.

I'm wondering if some of my sims just can't die. Making them hysterical or mortified doesn't work. I'm going to grow a cowplant and see if I can kill them that way.

I actually have immortal sims in my game. I set up the advanced debug mod trying to kill one of my sims. Then I shift clicked on another sim and saw so many more options (for example, on the other sim the "kill" button was missing). Why do I have immortal sims? How do I stop this from happening?

Do they have the weirdo trait ?

(I think it's a hidden trait)

If not, could you compare traits they have (especially hidden) that your immortal Sims have in common ?

Also again: Can they age ?

I added three random sims to my household. None of them had hidden traits, and only one of them can die. You're right about the aging thing. I tried to have the teen that can't die blow out candles on a cake and it says she is not eligible to age up.
