Re: Sim Won't Die

Hello again. Sorry for the late response.

The issue is still happening. My Sim has now also died of old age and gotten up again. What else could I try?

@orangebottles  Where did this sim originally come from?  Some sims have a hidden immortal trait, and they fail to die (or rather start to die and then don't) in the same way you've described.  If you downloaded this sim from the Gallery, perhaps she's secretly immortal.

The only way I know of to find out whether this is the issue is to use a mod, e.g. Show Sim Info, to display all traits.  I think it's possible to use another mod (MCCC) to remove the trait, although I haven't tested.

Or you could just move her out of the house and then evict her.  She won't die, but she'll be out of the way.

@orangebottles  Even better.  I'm curious though, are they in fact dead, or did the message maybe trigger when they started to die but then didn't follow through again?  It would be useful to know, since this issue does surface from time to time.

Yes, they are. They no longer appear in the house I moved them to, and they appear as a ghost in the relationship page and genealogy page with the "died of old age" text.

@orangebottles  Great to know, thanks.

I have the same issue.  I have been moving them out as my work around too after getting frustrated about it.  It creates the urn she/he lies down then gets back up as soon as the grim sim arrives.  No mods and nothing added that I didn't get from an expansion, gamepack, etc.  It all started happening after I installed the Star Wars Expansion.....

This happening to me as well. I removed all of my mods and just like the original poster said they fall to the ground, the grim reaper tries to take them, a grave appears, but then they just respawn and come back to life. This wasn't a sim from the gallery, but a npc that I brought into my household. They should be dying from old age. I will need to put my mods back in to check for the hidden immortality trait and I will update.

Okay so I was able to fix it! I had to delete the localthumbcache.package.
