There's an unsettling part in Sims Medieval: In one quest the monarch goofs up, I do not remember the exact way how (setting a forest on fire?), but in any case two npcs have witnessed the goof up and need to get silenced. With the strict task-based system the only way to do this is to duel them. From the way this is presented I must assume the innocent npcs get killed. The only way to circumvent this is to fail the quest.
Sims 4 the pet death animation hits a little too hard home. Same for the dead parrots in Sims 2 and the dead lizards in Sims 1 that players have to actively clean out and then dispose of in a trash bag. I don't know what I did wrong, but I could never keep the lizards alive and eventually stopped having them because of the disposal method.
