I usually treat my Sims well and this story is maybe more sad than dark. It happened when I had just started playing Sims1. I created my family, mom, dad and two kids, me being mom. I was happily playing with my family until one day "my oldest" was being sent to military school. At the time I didn't know I had to keep him "in the green" when I sent him to school! A few days later "my" husband had an accident with the barbecue! I was devastated!!!
After telling my son what had happened he said: Mom, you don't have to save your game! :s :| :)
