Admit it! In these 8 ways, each of you has killed your Sims

Of course you don’t mean any harm to your beloved Sims families, but admit it: sometimes your fingers are itchy and the pool ladder is stolen while the Sim unsuspectingly swims his laps. We asked you about your weirdest deaths in The Sims 4 and beyond, and you’ve been keen to answer. Some deaths you practically provoked and some you had to succumb to tragic accidents.

Whimsical stories about Sims deaths that deserve a mention

We’ve put together a small collection of the most memorable death moments from The Sims games.
In the process, the community and the editorial team experienced some strange, funny, tragic or crazy things. Have fun!

Jasmin had an uninvited guest who provided pyrotechnics at the wedding:

“My sims finally got married, there were around ten sims invited and one vampire thought he could join the party without an invitation. Well, the wedding was during the day and he burned up at the front of the altar when my Sims kissed.
A real party crasher.”

Instagram user Sarah has gone too colorful with her Sims:

“My senior sim died from overexertion while playing sports. However, his beloved wife was able to convince the Grim Reaper to bring him back to life. There was an I’m still alive dalliance with joy and then the Grim Reaper came again. Death from overexertion again.”

Silja’s Sim had too much fun while streaming:

“I used the drone to stream my Sim in Sims 4. Then he died of a fit of laughter while he was playing. During his death he consistently got 125 more followers, the Sims must be dead.”

Facebook user Lari should not have moved:

“I wanted to move to a new city with my (favorite) family.
Finally arrived there, the message came immediately that a Sims had died.
In other words, she somehow died DURING the loading screen.
I’m actually still mourning and to this day I don’t know WHAT could have happened.”

Razorfeater couldn’t save his beloved Death from the Grim Reaper either:

“One sim died, the other married to death and when he tried to make food for the scythe cowl they both went up in smoke – then a second death came.”

Natalie tells about her gardener who starved himself to death:

“I hired the gardener service in Sims 4 and my gardener also finished his job normally. However, he didn’t come back for several days and I was wondering why. He stood at the edge of the property and played on his cell phone. I couldn’t send him home or anything. Even restarting the game or debugging didn’t help. In the end he starved to death and was picked up by the Grim Reaper.”

Editor Lisa learned one thing from her first Sims experience:

“My last point of contact with Sims: I had built a super awesome family that I wanted to play with for hours. After only three days of playing intensively, a fire broke out in the kitchen, which unfortunately my little man didn’t survive. A visitor couldn’t find the exit from the bathroom due to a bug (!) and died there (didn’t affect my family, so it doesn’t matter to me). And then my child was abducted by aliens. And all within a few in-game hours! After that I uninstalled The Sims and never touched it again. It’s like horses for me – I love the gameplay, but the game seems to hate me. And then, as is well known, it is better to keep your hands off it.”

Dorfkind_anna_ should have sent her Sim to the toilet beforehand:

“My Sim wet his pants while fixing a stereo, kept fixing it, and then got electrocuted. Unfortunately, water conducts electricity very well.”
