Just had my first major fatality in The Sims computer game that didn’t involve a character I created specifically to form a tombstone…William Bachelor, formerly the Dad of the “white trash” family I’ve talked about before, was electrocuted and killed changing a light bulb. His roommate tried to plead with the Reaper, but was denied.
Now, I saved the game just before he died (and I was actually beginning to think that the death-by-light-bulb thing was a rumor), so I can restore his character if I want to. But should I? I wasn’t that emotionally attached to his character (although I feel real bad for his former kids), he was a quiet man with a few close friends and no love interests and a steady job as Police Chief. His death would cause much trouble for his family, since Michael’s wife is about to leave him and thus he’d be stuck raising two kids alone.
So, what would you do? I really can’t decide.
Sounds like you’ve got a real soap opera in the making. Save the game, move on, and post screenshots when the kids start to cry for food.
(Though I can’t keep the damn kids away from the fridge. “No, you cannot have a snack; it costs too much and you’ll just leave the wrapper on the floor and it won’t fill you up and your hygene level will plummet.” Is this what it’s really like to be a mom?
I’d go ahead and run the game from the last save if it was my character. Unless he clogged the toilet in another sim’s house every time he uses it. Then I’d leave him dead.
I used to kill off Sims as a…umm…habbit. I would build walls on all four sides of a helpless Sim, and the would just sit there, crying, begging for food and sleep, and laying in a puddle of their own urine.

Go on. Hopefully he’ll come back as a ghost and scare the heck out of everyone. No real white trash family has the original father around anyway. Have mom hook up with a biker.
