My contribution to this list is murphy beds in TS2. A sim can die if the bed falls on him or her. Yikes! I wonder what the devs were thinking on that one.
Oh that still happens in TS4.
And in TS3.
Just in The Sims 2, it is really rare compared to the next games: you need less than 5 levels in Body skill and -70 or less mood (in other words, the mood bar must be in really deep red) and even then there's 5% chance of it happening. Compared to The Sims 3 (where Murphy bed can crush at any time and does not always kill) and The Sims 4 (where Murphy beds stop killing once it is fully upgraded), The Sims 2's Murphy Beds are actually the safest in the series.
Some tips to avoid the death:
- All games: Just try to keep the bed open.
- TS2: Have your sim increase their body skill.
- TS2: Keep your sim's mood happy. If you see some red, just open the bed.
- TS3: Never buy the bed. It's literally a death trap and always will be.
- TS4: If you have a child in your household, have them always open it. If it malfunctions on them, it will just shake them. It never kills children.
- TS4: Increase your sim's handiness skill so you can upgrade the bed.
- TS4: If you see your sim be frustrated after pressing the button on the remote or see them press the button differently, try to immediately cancel the interaction.
