Watching unfortunate sims meet the Grim Reaper in a mixture of strange way has been a staple of the enfranchisement , theSims 4deaths retain this custom . Sims are capable of kicking the bucketful in some truly bizarre way , and , while some players aim to keep their creations alive and well for as long as possible , some take pleasure in seeing all of the weird ways in which a sim can meet its manufacturing business .

While the Hellenic accidental decease by ladderless pool from the Old games has been amended , The Sims 4introduced a farsighted list of lethality with which players must contest .

Updated on August 30th , 2022 by Tanner Fox : Though rumour touch on the long - anticipate 5th mainline instalment of EA ’s The Sims series bear on to swirl , The Sims 4 remains the most current incoming in the dear lifetime pretence enfranchisement . release in 2014 , the title has earned quite a few expansion packs and update which add load of new content to the already robust secret plan .

With these new addition , of course , came new dangers for which instrumentalist must be vigilant . From the omnipresent threat of famishment to worries of Rabid Rodent Fever , hungry cowplants , and hysteria , here ’s every single path a sim can be made to shuffle off its deathly scroll .

The Scent of Death (Seasons)

Added before long after the secret plan ’s release , the Death Flower is an passing rarefied and unabashedly useful item that can be used to craft ambrosia and as a bargaining chip to prevent the Grim Reaper from taking a dying sim .

That say , it also has a few electronegative side effects . enclose in the Seasons expansion , the dying blossom can be used to scent flower arrangements . This will instantly get on any sim who smells the scent , and elder sims will be kill off provided they are n’t affected by vampirism . While an interesting elbow room to go , this is an passing uncommon event that most players are n’t likely to ever chance .

Poison (Jungle Adventure)

ThisJungle Adventuredeath rate low due to the amount of effort required to trigger it , the ease of curing it , and the distance of clock time it aim to actually drink down a sim .

Poisoned debuffs are now and then found while search the jungle . However , exploring is uncommon anyway , and there are also items players can quite well bribe to now heal it . Combine this with the fact that sims have several in - game days to purchase a remedy or fight it off naturally — which often befall — and it winds up being a amazingly hard path to meet the Grim Reaper .

Insects (Jungle Adventure)

Insect - relate deaths are another jungle - based death , so , again , it ’s quite rarified . However , these are less survivable unless the player actively works to prevent them .

Fireflies can set up sims on fire , and lightning bug can give them a nasty shock , direct to fire and burning deaths respectively . However , both only come about very seldom in the hobo camp , and both are easy combated with a couple of readily uncommitted supply and some ethnic cognition .

Wishing Well (Romantic Garden Stuff)

As the saying goes , be thrifty what you wish for . Sims who wish for immortality may want to find an alternative way to do it , as , standardised to dealing with a connive jinnee in a bottleful , every wishing come with a taking into custody .

Overexertion

This is another death that ranks low due to the fact it only strike elderberry bush . If an older sim partakes in too many straining activities , like lifting weighting , jogging , or woohoo , then they can die of overexertion .

This one is well-off to trigger , as players can literally woohoo an elderberry bush to expiry or force them to consort until they die , but experienced Sims player in all likelihood have enough know - how to avoid this .

Rocket Ship Crash

If a sim is in the astronaut life history itinerary , they can be sent to space in a rocket ship that can be build up in the backyard . It ’s also possible to find a ship at Geekcon ( City Living ) and in the science lab ( Get To piece of work ) for a quicker choice .

Asking them to race , sending them with no skills , or stick fruit in the ship ’s exhaust fumes before take - off will cause a crash and the likely dying of a budding cosmonaut - to - be .

Death By Hysteria

Emotional deaths can be difficult to trigger , and this one is probably the most unmanageable of all . Sims must become hysterical and keep on express joy in orderliness to trigger off it .

Sims lean to need moodlet boosts and an increase supplying of two or more items that trigger laugh at once so as to kick the bucket this way .

Rock Climbing Wall (Fitness Stuff)

If a sim is a fittingness fanatic with a head for peril , then the careen climb up wall can provide an adrenaline flush that may just be their last .

Once a sim ’s accomplishment is gamy enough , they can partake in in the fire challenge which get off out jets of fire while they are climb . The hazard of being caught on fire is fairly gamy , though there is often someone around to put the sim out — unless , of course , they partake in the challenge while home alone .

Cowplant

Cowpants can be dangerous , but the risk is somewhat limited . If they are fed on a regular basis , they ’re pretty harmless . However , hungry cowplants can sometimes offer sims patty , which is an obvious trap — and a probable book of facts to thePortalvideo game serial .

The cowplant will wipe out the sim instead , leave them drained . If they make the same misunderstanding again within 24 hours , then it ’s curtains . An undeniably goofy means to go , but it ’s also pretty rare .

Electrocution

Death by burning is really weird , as it seems to postulate a lot of lot . Sims need to first get the dazzle moodlet by trying and give out to repair electrical item . If they then repeat the misapprehension a short time subsequently , they ’ll in reality die . Both debuffs can also be because of lightning .

simmer have been known to spend hours sample to fix fridges in puddles or get electronics to fracture in short succession with no fortune . However , if sims are leave to their own equipment for too long , an fortuity demand electricity is bound to fall out .
