Yeah, one of my characters in the Sims just kicked the bucket. Chiana was outside grilling up some burgers and the thing burst into flames.
Unfortuately, I didn’t have a fire alarm outside, so no fire fighters came. I tried to get her to run, but she insisted on standing there screaming.
I’ll never forget the look on her face when she suddenly burst into flames. I’ts surprising how genuinely sad I was when she died(for about 5 minutes, anyway). I decided to save the game and allow someone else to move in. It kinda gives the whole neighborhood a bit more realism.
Of course, she still stops by to haunt the newlywed couple I had move in.
All my Sim death stories involve me torturing the poor guys until they die, so i will refrain from posting most of them. It is quite fun walling someone in and watching them starve though
I used to murder my Sims regularly. Sure, people drown theirs all the time. Yeah, I did that. But then I’d build tiny rooms with nothing but stoves in them. And I wouldn’t let them learn how to cook. Then I’d close off all the exits. They all burned.
I lose people in the pool. It happens when they swim and there’s an adult falls asleep after they get out, blocking the ladder.
Then the person is exhausted and falls asleep in the pool and drowns. So then I have a gravestone next to the pool ladder, and a ghost wandering at night.
He hasn’t died yet, but Boris (one half of my first Sim couple) is in-friggin-capable of using the stove without setting himself on fire. Jerk. His girlfriend Isabelle can cook just fine without learning how, but Boris? Nooooo. Everything bursts into flames and he stands there and shrieks like a woman. Isaballe could do so much better.
One of my favorite death scenarios was a Temp family that I intended to kill off to make room for another family. ALL of them wound up killing themselves through stupidity, without any help from me! The first one got stuck between a dining chair and the wall, she ultimately starved to death. Another two were arguing by the (lit) fireplace, when a spark flew out and set them both ablaze! The last one caught guinea pig disease, and I had her try and make a white cure potion with the chemistry set. Finally, she successfully made one…but died before she could drink it.
Here’s another neat trick I just tried: Fill a room with overlapping rugs, with one empty tile in the middle. Light a rocket inside the room. Sit back and watch. For best effect, throw a party first.
We accidentally burned Poo Jr (otherwise known as Pooju) to death. He was on the brink of falling inlove too. We put the urn outside the front door so that everybody who passed could mourn him - it was fun watching complete strangers sob infront of it.
Pooju’s girlfriend even had dreams about him - it was all quite romantic.
My teenaged daughter plays this all the time and her people are always spontaneously combusting. That is so hilarious! They’ll be walking along, and poof! up in flames they go.
I love my Sims! I’d be so hurt if any of them died.
Sometimes they are wicked and have to be punished. My son built a jail. Jailor would invite the bad sims over and then take away the door. He’d feed them and the stupid sims would think it was a party— until they got tired and wanted to sit down.
Know what happened? Jailor got depressed because he had no friends. He wouldn’t do anything but cry and cry. What kind of prison guard cries all the time? He’s so depressed I think he’s gonna commit suicide any day now.
I love the Sims. I just bought the house party expansion pack. Can you get the Sims from one neighborhood to go to another? Just asking.
Mauvaise, all you need is the CD. I know of two expansion packs, House Pary and Living Large. I hear there will be a third called Hot Date or something like that.
I had a huge house party one night, and some bastard broke the big screen TV. So I had Maria fix the TV, and it evidently killed her. The grim reaper came in and left a pot of her ashes, and man did the party get boring after that. All everyone did was cry and mourn, mourning and crying. God, they knew her for like 5 minutes, and then she kicked the bucket, how can they feel bad? She was cute too, and the hot guy in the house evidently really liked her.
Yeah, this game is totaly worth it. The first expansion pack, Livin’ Large, added a lot to the game. House Party did pretty much what it says. Hot Date will allow you to control the relationships of your sims in more detail. Next year, there is Simville coming out where you are able to build villages of Sims(you can import yours) and let them interact freely, go shopping, and do other stuff. SimsOnline is coming in late 2002, where you can interact online with other Sims.
There is a Sims 2 project in early development. What will it feature? Well, everything the first one had(with most expansion features) and: Full 3d charachters and objects(so you can put things in any position, at any angle), aging, weekdays and weekends, virtualy unlimited neighborhood design control, and more.
No, I don’t work for Maxis and I’m not in their advertising. Just passing along info. It all sounds good('cept SimOnline, which sounds too complicated too enjoy).
Thanks theendisnear, Biggirl, and Mahaloth. I’ll have to pick up a copy very soon, this sounds like just the thing to waste copious amounts of my time.
A few of my friends have this game, so on Saturday nights, we’ll sit around and make up odd families on the game and kill them off. (We’re a real fun bunch.)
The most memorable intentional death was when one friend of mine tried to catch her character on fire. There were cans of hairspray, potted plants, stoves, fireplaces, randomly placed fires, etc. all around this room… but the character just wouldn’t catch on fire. There wasn’t anywhere to go, the character was just fireproof.
Eventually, the character did catch on fire and ran around the house screaming until she died.
I want this game so much. You can download all sorts of skins, so there’s little skimpy sailor outfits and magician’s robes in the wardrobes of my friends’ Sims.

I just had Drew Carey show up at a party. I didn’t know my sims were having a party, but I guess they were. I just wanted them to make some friends and get jobs. I’m still planning the party house.
It’s time for someone to die too. No one has in a while…
In fact, I messed my back up a bit, so I’m resting today on the couch. With my laptop. And my Sims!!!
Seriously, does life get any better then that?
My usual death method is in the swimming pool, although I’ve been wondering what happens if you trap someone inside the hot-tub. I shall report my results later today
I purposely set the Goth mother on fire. Is it evil of me to laugh everytime the daughter walks by the urn of ashes and cries, cries, cries?
I haven’t played in a while…hmm maybe i will :).
Oh and i MUST get House party, Hot Date sounds like it will rock (i’ve been able to get my male sims to kiss, but nothing more…or is that all the sims do right now?)
We put the urn outside the front door so that everybody who passed could mourn him - it was fun watching complete strangers sob infront of it.
