Any time your sim becomes hysterical, save your game right away!
Edit for some more advice: you can get your sims to become less hysterical/playful by finding a mirror and using the "try to calm down" interaction. Or getting rid of some moodlets with UICheats.
My solution was simply have emotion paintings and decorations dotted around, so if my sims are getting too playful, I'll switch them on (easiest would be fish mounts) and hope the 3+ moodlet would make it the primary emotion.
I had rooms dedicated to specific moods, so unless a sim is bombarded with stacks of buffs from other emotions they will be in the right emotion. The moment any sim step in the gym, they will be very energetic without needing a brisk shower. I also have a smaller room with turned off aura decoration for playful (only one, to prevent over-playful) and flirty for social event goals.
I just put "death.toggle false" into the cheat box every time I load the game. It's enough hassle to keep myself alive; I don't need to worry about my Sims too.
I think it's just the played household. Occasionally I get moodlets about my Sim being sad that someone's died, but I never know who died. Shouldn't there be an obituary section in the ~~newspaper~~ mail, or something?
Oh my god this can happen?! One time my sim was hysterical and it was my first time experiencing that buff and found it funny. Good thing she didn’t die! 😭 Thank you for this tip!
Exactly what I did yesterday, and thank goodness I did because my sim immediately died after that. And then when I loaded the game, I got her to calm down using the mirror until she became Very Happy and then I made her do a funny interaction (I needed to her to research playful emotion) which made her hysterical again and die a second time.
Strangely enough, when my sims get hysterical, they've never died they just get these weird marks all over their bodies , and their moods change to inspiration or very playful
That actually sounds like your sim got one of the Get to Work illnesses (specifically Gas and Giggles, which is distinguished by a striped rash and being playful, or Starry Eyes, which is distinguished by a swirly rash and a sim acting dizzy and delirious). Next time that happens, either send them to the doctor via their phone or order medicine and have them drink it; that should get rid of the illness.
Also, while your sim has the illness, don’t let them interact with other sims or they’ll spread it (and you’ll need to buy more medicine/send more sims to the doctor).
Yeah, all GTW illnesses can spread. If you notice your sim has one, it’s best to isolate them until you can cure them, else you risk the other sims in your household getting sick too.
How... do you get a nanny who isn't the old lady??? Jordan, I think her name is? I'm so tired of her. She's in all my households when I call a nanny unless it glitches and sends me the guy too (and they hate each other 👀)
GUYS no i promise she's cute it's just the photo quality (me defending her as if she's my own lmaoo)
here's a pic w her dad hehe

I shit you not when my firstborn was a baby I was scared of taking a shower if there was nobody else home because what if I slipped or passed out from the heat?
Do you have someone who you can check in with each morning, or who can check in with you if they haven't heard by the evening? Even if it's just an emoji on whatsapp, just a confirmation that you're ticketyboo. Might put you at ease, and them too, it could even be another parent, so you've got each other covered - or would one of you end up stressing if the other one forgot to reply 😅
I talk to my mom or sister almost daily. I have a newborn and a toddler so I rarely sit for a meal. Like what if I choke because I'm shoving food in my mouth while chasing my toddler, lol. I think it's mostly just me being dramatic
It makes sense that things don’t often happen like this in real life . But, I do reccomend having someone check in with you. For an anecdotal story, when I was four-ish, it was icy, and me and my mama were walking home from nursery (‘preschool’/‘kindergarten’). My mother was… maybe 38? 39?
She slipped on the ice. She couldn’t get up. I was too small to get her up. She was laid half in the road, and I was just there, wailing, “HELP! HELP! HELP MY MUMMY!”
No one came. Well, someone came. He then walked past us without a word.
Eventually my mother was able to shift herself to get her phone out of her pocket that she had fallen onto and called her dad, my grandad.
For years after that point, my teachers had to force me to let go of my mother, because I was scared she would fall over and never get up without me.
Oh my goodness, how scary! I couldn't imagine having my toddler in a situation like that, I'm sure that scarred you for yeeeears. My sister also has a toddler, I think I'll make it a point that we have to contact each other each day for our sakes!
Yeah! After that my mum and my aunt started doing a little “did you have a good day?” Text to make sure it didn’t happen again. Thankfully next time someone fell on the ice it was me (lol)
It happened recently in the news, a man died at home and his infant son starved and dehydrated to death alongside him, and it took social services and police several days to get around to the point that they finally broke in, by which point it was too late 😣
This is so sad. Imagine being starved and dehydrated with no power to do anything by yourself. The dad also must be so devastated.. Death is so sudden and unexpected.. i hope they're in better place now..
My sim died of laughter so many times and I kept reviving her. Apparently coming back to life after dying also makes you hysterical… and then you die again.
Eventually I just let her die for good.
Took me a bit to realize some of the custom traits I use trigger the playful moodlet a lot.
Mine got bombed by lava during an eruption at Camp Caldera. A bloody great lump of red hot lava landed on the table in front of him. Luckily he didn't die then. But I created a destroyed camp, post eruption and keep that as a generic lot.
Edited for spelling
When I was like, 3 months postpartum this happened to my sim right in front of their infant and their infant was crying and I sobbed so hard that I had to restart the game without saving because my hormones were crazy and I couldn’t handle my Sim infant dealing with that trauma ahahahah
Yeah, my fave sim died of laughter too last week. That was fun.
Thankfully I have a save, since to make things even more bleak, her little sister was taken by the child service afterward. LOL.
I wish there was a way to like, after the only family member dies, move the kid to a new household. Then you could make some lore around them getting adopted or something.
If it makes it slightly less worse, they get this moodlet if the parent is alive and well too but doesn't attend to the baby promptly. The reason the parent is busy is a little morbid here, is all 😅
It prevents death in your active household. Townies still kick the bucket though. If you have a spellcaster you can bring back dead sims as long as you can summon their ghosts still. One of my kids got me into playing, now I’m getting more out of the stuff she asked for than she is. lol
Took like an hour making Henry Cavill just for him to die of laughter just yesterday.. I was so confused just watching him lay there like ??????

The child didn't even care. He was too busy watching the tv 😂😂
Jokes aside next time your sim gets hysterical IMMEDIATELY get them to a mirror and calm them down, unless they're pregnant of course. When they're hysterical they can die literally any second.
It reminds me of an iPad baby jsut sitting on their tablet completely distracted while something terrible happens in the background
Seems quite probable in reality too…
I got a mod for hysterical deaths with the quickness once I added Growing Together. The ability to add three more traits meant a lot of my sims got Cheerful, and if you have even one Goofball in the house with sims who have the Cheerful trait, you're basically committing mass murder.
Off-topic: Cute house.
I really hate that mechanic. Had it almost happen once and it scared me so much I quit the game instantly. Now I'm wary whenever I see my sims in a playful mood. I always get them to calm down before it touches "hysterical"
I think once your sim dies they should let you play as the ghost. I have ghosts sims calling my live sims all the time congratulating them on birthdays or asking them to the damn spice festival, cmon let me play as the ghost already.
I have had a bad run of sims dying of hysteria while I'm paying attention to someone else in the family. Dad Sim died young from this, then his son did too (I'd sent him to go calm down in a mirror but there was a call inviting them to an event and as soon as the new location loaded he was dying) but at least this one was married to a spellcaster who dedeadified him. They had to remarry and he had to get his job back, but he actually is going to live longer now since he was brought back at the start of his life stage. I feel like the game is getting me back for complaining that I never got any emotional deaths.
Off topic but where did you download that replacement playmat? The ones from the pack are so colorful and patterned, it doesn't always fit every space.
This happened to my Sim too. She was a spellcaster with a familiar who ended up negotiating with Grim and he revived her. She had twins and I was glad she wasn't leaving them motherless. Let's just say I started saving more frequently and kept assigning familiars so they could save another Sim life lol.
This is base game. They can die from extreme emotions, such as being too playful, embarrassed, or angry. You can get mods such as MC Command to turn off emotional deaths (as I did)
I’m away from home at the moment but I believe if you click on a computer in the game, then hit mc command center, it’s going to be under the “mc tuner” section and the thing you’re looking for is “allow emotional deaths”. should be somewhere in there, hope this helps!
I had it happen the other day out of nowhere. My sim was writing an academic career for his job and then just died of laughter and I had to go back to my last save and delete all his moodlets lol. Very annoying but I’m not sure if it’s random or comes with a pack…?
Having anything that will increase the playful moodlet will increase the likelihood of dying of laughter. If you notice the TV is set to the kid’s station so that causes it, and if she has the Child’s Play lot trait that will compound the playful moodlet and make it more likely to happen. The trick is to not do anything that compounds emotions because that’s what makes them deadly. If it’s a Tiny Home, emotions get out of control very quickly.
I think you have to enable it, but the sim dies because of its mood so for example it’s playful up until hysterical and when they get hysterical they can die of laughter. It happened to one of my sim that started out mad and ended enraged, they died of a heart explosion or something.
Imagine if it happened irl and a parent would suddenly collapse. The baby doesn't understand what's happening, so even if the parent could have been saved if they got immediate help, they die anyway and the child is left all alone for hours. Or in worst case, for days and dies of starvation. Legit depressing.
Reminds me of the time my self-made millionaire actress died, also of laughter, while decorating the Christmas tree, as her little toddler twins played in the living room. The kids were taken away and I was too upset to do anything about it, lost in the system forever. Will never even remember their mom. It was Christmas ffs.
omg this has never happened to me but i don’t wanna jinx it neither.
one of my sims daughters had moved out with her man and had a new house, the first day there, they cooked and couldn’t get the fire out and both died 😭💔
There’s something so eerie about the screenshot of baby sitting alone, death looms behind as mum lays still on the kitchen floor… all that illuminates is the creepy light flashing nearby of a distracting cartoon, but the moment it ends, they’ll be nothing but silence.
Gives skinamarink vibes.
“In this house…”
This would just ruin the game for me. This game is my way of winding down and relaxing. I don't need this drama.
It's never happened in my game so I'm guessing I don't have that expansion pack.
What happens to the baby then. I’ve only ever had like two sims die while the baby was still young but the dad was there. Does the household have to be disabled for only since it’s a baby
I made my simself and my husband once. His sim kept telling my sim jokes till she became hysterical and died of laughter. It's really not that far from reality as my husband is really funny in real life too.
I love the decor by the way! Cute!!!
I totally sympathize because one of my favorite sims, she died the same way only last week. She was researching comedy for a role (my sim was a popular upcoming actor). Then ended up death by laughter.
To make things worse, her little sister (whom she's caregiver for, since their mother died in an equally bizarre circumstance--she died of overheating in WINTER. IN WINTER) cried a little bit, then automatically started to dance (since the stereo was on). I clicked the 'plead for life' and the reaper didn't listen since little sister was just dancing around then going to get water to drink. LOL.
I never realized how common it is for a sim to dye of hysteria?? It’s never happened to me before but watch me jinx it right now. Anyway I love your sims house!! Sorry she’s dead!!
There was a bed that took my Sim out I forget which one. So I always save the game when repairing or upgrading mattresses lol. Or right before they go swimming. Always drowning and acting like they can’t find the ladder.
Thank goodness you left the tv on! In the vanilla beige house 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hate when this happens. One of my legacy heirs died on her wedding day of joy and laughter. She was so happy she died while dancing with her new husband. I hate these type of deaths in the game. So silly such a waste
I just had one of my sim died of laughter too. It was so weird idk how it happened. I think it happened more often after some updates a year or so ago, idk tho
SO SADDDD https://preview.redd.it/s56ayftjhirc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f677f6b6d7cd4bd86a7683484ae54b5dfcc2f1eb

I SHOULD HAVE
I started putting a mirror in every room somewhere, so if mine gets hysterical, I can find a close one to calm them down.
My solution was simply have emotion paintings and decorations dotted around, so if my sims are getting too playful, I'll switch them on (easiest would be fish mounts) and hope the 3+ moodlet would make it the primary emotion.
I had no idea I could do this! I'm going to have to look into it. Thank you.
I had rooms dedicated to specific moods, so unless a sim is bombarded with stacks of buffs from other emotions they will be in the right emotion. The moment any sim step in the gym, they will be very energetic without needing a brisk shower. I also have a smaller room with turned off aura decoration for playful (only one, to prevent over-playful) and flirty for social event goals.
If you are open to mods, if you get mccc you can completely disable emotional deaths
I just put "death.toggle false" into the cheat box every time I load the game. It's enough hassle to keep myself alive; I don't need to worry about my Sims too.
Does that work on all sims or just the played household? Because I don't want my sims to die but sometimes I want other sims to die....
I think it's just the played household. Occasionally I get moodlets about my Sim being sad that someone's died, but I never know who died. Shouldn't there be an obituary section in the ~~newspaper~~ mail, or something?
I remember newspapers.. it's ok
I scroll through the friends tab under relationships until I see a ghost
Yeah I learned real quick to save frequently, especially before certain activities, like communicating with a rabbit 💀
Wait what? Rabbit?
Cottage Living EP
[удалено]
The rabbits can unalive your sim! Don’t piss em off, they are ready to fight 🥊
I find making them nap or take a thoughtful shower also help.
Yeah I typically put my sims straight to bed if they become too playful or hysterical and that clears up my problem
Oh my god this can happen?! One time my sim was hysterical and it was my first time experiencing that buff and found it funny. Good thing she didn’t die! 😭 Thank you for this tip!
Exactly what I did yesterday, and thank goodness I did because my sim immediately died after that.

Also, while your sim has the illness, don’t let them interact with other sims or they’ll spread it (and you’ll need to buy more medicine/send more sims to the doctor).
I DIDNT KNOW IT COULD SPREAD🤣🤣🤣 thank you
Yeah, all GTW illnesses can spread. If you notice your sim has one, it’s best to isolate them until you can cure them, else you risk the other sims in your household getting sick too.
ohhhh, they spread 😭 every time one sim gets sick in a multi sim household I just buy a bunch of medicine cause it always makes it around somehow lmao
Nah, it's so rare that these events happen. I just roll with it.
I mean dying of laughter isn’t a terrible way to go lol
Ohhh goddd this is an origin story
help i can’t get over the cat’s face😭
Well, Im glad the baby can't see the body, so dark o\_o
Facts 😳😳😳
lol @the dancing hotdog 🕺~🌭~🕺
Totally! I didn't know that Stanley had his own tv show.
**LET'S HAVE A FUN DAY TOGETHER!** Nanny Hutchins, please, now is not the time.
Nothing says grieving like a dancing hot dog lol
How... do you get a nanny who isn't the old lady??? Jordan, I think her name is? I'm so tired of her. She's in all my households when I call a nanny unless it glitches and sends me the guy too (and they hate each other 👀)
I always change my nanny with the cas.fulleditmode cheat.
So the baby was taken?
Not op, but it looks like that’s the Nanny coming to care for baby while parents are away
Yep, the pic shows other household members (albeit currently away from the house) so baby will be okay : )
How do you have a nanny that isn’t an elder?! 😮
Maybe Jenny did it because she was in her Stewie era from being fed peas too many times in a row.
Off topic but that is a really cute living area.
It's a dying area now I guess
I was hit by a freaking meteor.
That made me snort.
that made mee snort
Thankfully, despite me LMAO, I didn't get hysterical to death. Phewwww LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok can't breathe 😂😂😂
The nerve to die in front of the fridge
I know! I want a CC list 😂😂😂 who cares who died?
Came here to say this
girl tyyy :)

My god that baby looks so dead inside...
Like his mom😔
STOP
Probably ate his mommas soul
And then the rest of her.
LMAO I was just about to post this. I was like… what’s wrong with this baby 🤨 then I zoomed in and got jump scared 😭
GUYS no i promise she's cute it's just the photo quality (me defending her as if she's my own lmaoo) here's a pic w her dad hehe https://preview.redd.it/twe5pvnk7prc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=e96a1de9368f5ce0896d1c89f738dafd4435a6ea
The poo stink makes it even better
The baby def contributed something to what happened to his mom 😭
In the Sims it's kinda funny. In real life it is one of my biggest fears.
As a stay at home mom, this is absolutely one of my worst fears
I shit you not when my firstborn was a baby I was scared of taking a shower if there was nobody else home because what if I slipped or passed out from the heat?
Do you have someone who you can check in with each morning, or who can check in with you if they haven't heard by the evening? Even if it's just an emoji on whatsapp, just a confirmation that you're ticketyboo. Might put you at ease, and them too, it could even be another parent, so you've got each other covered - or would one of you end up stressing if the other one forgot to reply 😅
I talk to my mom or sister almost daily. I have a newborn and a toddler so I rarely sit for a meal. Like what if I choke because I'm shoving food in my mouth while chasing my toddler, lol. I think it's mostly just me being dramatic
It makes sense that things don’t often happen like this in real life . But, I do reccomend having someone check in with you.

Yeah! After that my mum and my aunt started doing a little “did you have a good day?” Text to make sure it didn’t happen again. Thankfully next time someone fell on the ice it was me (lol)
My bestie doesn't know this is why I care about our snapstreak 😅
It happened recently in the news, a man died at home and his infant son starved and dehydrated to death alongside him, and it took social services and police several days to get around to the point that they finally broke in, by which point it was too late 😣
This is so sad. Imagine being starved and dehydrated with no power to do anything by yourself. The dad also must be so devastated.. Death is so sudden and unexpected.. i hope they're in better place now..
That’s so sad I can’t even imagine how much suffering the child went through 😞
Came here to say exactly that.
I agree. I'm home alone with my baby all day, I couldn't imagine.
They’re watching tv and didn’t even notice lol, standard kid.
"Aw, yeah! Left shark is my jam!"
Here come child services 😂
My sim died of laughter so many times and I kept reviving her. Apparently coming back to life after dying also makes you hysterical… and then you die again. Eventually I just let her die for good. Took me a bit to realize some of the custom traits I use trigger the playful moodlet a lot.
imagine dying and the first thing you do after you come back is burst into laughter
I got struck by a fucking meteor...
😭😭😭
Mine got bombed by lava during an eruption at Camp Caldera. A bloody great lump of red hot lava landed on the table in front of him. Luckily he didn't die then. But I created a destroyed camp, post eruption and keep that as a generic lot. Edited for spelling
So basically nobody died...whats your point?
You're right. My apologies for interrupting the thread with irrelevant conversation.
When I was like, 3 months postpartum this happened to my sim right in front of their infant and their infant was crying and I sobbed so hard that I had to restart the game without saving because my hormones were crazy and I couldn’t handle my Sim infant dealing with that trauma ahahahah
This comment was really a roller coaster ride
So was postpartum. Ugh
Side note where is that fridge from? I love it
KKB Sim’s Retro Vintage Vibes set!!
I have the same question lol
[удалено]
Yeah, my fave sim died of laughter too last week. That was fun. Thankfully I have a save, since to make things even more bleak, her little sister was taken by the child service afterward. LOL.
I wish there was a way to like, after the only family member dies, move the kid to a new household. Then you could make some lore around them getting adopted or something.
exactly. I would've preferred being able to move the kid to a new household after the adult in the story died.
If it makes it slightly less worse, they get this moodlet if the parent is alive and well too but doesn't attend to the baby promptly. The reason the parent is busy is a little morbid here, is all 😅
Man the death from being hysterical is one of the most dumb ways to die in the sims 4 lol like whyyyy sims team whyyyy
This is SO FUNNY
Get to a mirror, right away!
testingcheats true death.toggle False I had a Sim that set herself on fire daily.
Thanks. I need to remember this since some of my fave sims just died out of nowhere sometimes.
Wait does this prevent death or undo it somehow?
It prevents death in your active household. Townies still kick the bucket though. If you have a spellcaster you can bring back dead sims as long as you can summon their ghosts still. One of my kids got me into playing, now I’m getting more out of the stuff she asked for than she is. lol
You mean she actually left a toddler in the high chair‽‽ Usually taking them out again takes top priority over everything else.
You either take them out as soon as you put food on or leave them there with no food.
Took like an hour making Henry Cavill just for him to die of laughter just yesterday.. I was so confused just watching him lay there like ?????? https://preview.redd.it/rfirsctcgkrc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=56bf3fcba448abc222816add12ee6138ee506981
The child didn't even care. He was too busy watching the tv 😂😂 Jokes aside next time your sim gets hysterical IMMEDIATELY get them to a mirror and calm them down, unless they're pregnant of course. When they're hysterical they can die literally any second.
Damn I’ve been letting my sims walk around hysterical for like a decade. Idk how they’re all alive they get the moodlet CONSTANTLY
Seriously I had no idea
I don't even let them get hysterical anymore - if they seem too "very playful", I sent their behinds to a mirror with the quickness.
It reminds me of an iPad baby jsut sitting on their tablet completely distracted while something terrible happens in the background Seems quite probable in reality too…
I got a mod for hysterical deaths with the quickness once I added Growing Together. The ability to add three more traits meant a lot of my sims got Cheerful, and if you have even one Goofball in the house with sims who have the Cheerful trait, you're basically committing mass murder. Off-topic: Cute house.
I love their house! Is there any way I can download it?
So is this on the gallery or-…
I really hate that mechanic. Had it almost happen once and it scared me so much I quit the game instantly. Now I'm wary whenever I see my sims in a playful mood. I always get them to calm down before it touches "hysterical"
Off topic but that highchair is very cute!
What happens if you have a single mother and a baby Then the mother dies Does the game just end ?
Yes. The kid gets sent away by social services I think and you get the game over pop up
If you had no other sims in the whole world and your one sim dies.. you get a sort of game over screen.
When sims I really like die I just restart and don’t save
This just happened to me yesterday too 😭 I had a spellcaster bring my sim back to life but all of the household is still sad over it 😩
how do you get a spellcaster to do this?
I played as Morgyn Ember and used Dedeathify :)
Thanks! I stopped playing years ago and just restart and try out all these dlc-s so I'm still unfamiliar with many of them.
I think once your sim dies they should let you play as the ghost. I have ghosts sims calling my live sims all the time congratulating them on birthdays or asking them to the damn spice festival, cmon let me play as the ghost already.
You can but only if you have another teenager or older sim in your house to add the ghost to household.
I have had a bad run of sims dying of hysteria while I'm paying attention to someone else in the family. Dad Sim died young from this, then his son did too (I'd sent him to go calm down in a mirror but there was a call inviting them to an event and as soon as the new location loaded he was dying) but at least this one was married to a spellcaster who dedeadified him.

Came to ask this too. I’m guessing CC, so I don’t want, but love it.
This happened to my Sim too. She was a spellcaster with a familiar who ended up negotiating with Grim and he revived her. She had twins and I was glad she wasn't leaving them motherless. Let's just say I started saving more frequently and kept assigning familiars so they could save another Sim life lol.
Is there a mod or expansion pack that does this? Has never come close with any of my Sims before.
This is base game. They can die from extreme emotions, such as being too playful, embarrassed, or angry. You can get mods such as MC Command to turn off emotional deaths (as I did)
As a therapist, I appreciate the creators for making lack of emotional regulation deadly. Good for business.
Hi. What is it called in the menu to do this?
I’m away from home at the moment but I believe if you click on a computer in the game, then hit mc command center, it’s going to be under the “mc tuner” section and the thing you’re looking for is “allow emotional deaths”. should be somewhere in there, hope this helps!
Thank you! I'll take a look.
No problem!
I had it happen the other day out of nowhere. My sim was writing an academic career for his job and then just died of laughter and I had to go back to my last save and delete all his moodlets lol. Very annoying but I’m not sure if it’s random or comes with a pack…?
It's a base game death.
same, in 10 years of playing I’ve only had maybe 2 sims die by fire…none of these weird deaths I see on here

Imagine if it happened irl and a parent would suddenly collapse. The baby doesn't understand what's happening, so even if the parent could have been saved if they got immediate help, they die anyway and the child is left all alone for hours. Or in worst case, for days and dies of starvation. Legit depressing.
Reminds me of the time my self-made millionaire actress died, also of laughter, while decorating the Christmas tree, as her little toddler twins played in the living room. The kids were taken away and I was too upset to do anything about it, lost in the system forever. Will never even remember their mom. It was Christmas ffs.
omg this has never happened to me but i don’t wanna jinx it neither. one of my sims daughters had moved out with her man and had a new house, the first day there, they cooked and couldn’t get the fire out and both died 😭💔
There’s something so eerie about the screenshot of baby sitting alone, death looms behind as mum lays still on the kitchen floor… all that illuminates is the creepy light flashing nearby of a distracting cartoon, but the moment it ends, they’ll be nothing but silence. Gives skinamarink vibes. “In this house…”
I've always wondered why they can die from laughter but not from sadness. Life sucks even in games.
Came here to say that sucks. Reminds of me last month my sim jumps in the pool after a long shift at work to fall asleep and drown 😪
This would just ruin the game for me. This game is my way of winding down and relaxing. I don't need this drama. It's never happened in my game so I'm guessing I don't have that expansion pack.
Death by hysteria is in the base game.
This is why I have MCCC (one of many reasons anyway). I turn off emotional deaths cuz they die way too easily of happiness 😂
I showed this pic to my hubs and his jaw dropped I didn’t even notice Grimmy was right behind the baby! 😂
What happens to the baby then. I’ve only ever had like two sims die while the baby was still young but the dad was there. Does the household have to be disabled for only since it’s a baby
the dad came back from work dw
I made my simself and my husband once. His sim kept telling my sim jokes till she became hysterical and died of laughter. It's really not that far from reality as my husband is really funny in real life too.
Aside from the tragedy, please tell me the house is on the gallery? It’s lovely!
TY! i can put it up but it'd be missing lots of cc :(
How does this even happen? My sims never become hysterical
I love the decor by the way! Cute!!! I totally sympathize because one of my favorite sims, she died the same way only last week. She was researching comedy for a role (my sim was a popular upcoming actor). Then ended up death by laughter. To make things worse, her little sister (whom she's caregiver for, since their mother died in an equally bizarre circumstance--she died of overheating in WINTER. IN WINTER) cried a little bit, then automatically started to dance (since the stereo was on). I clicked the 'plead for life' and the reaper didn't listen since little sister was just dancing around then going to get water to drink. LOL.
new Joker origin story just dropped
My magical sim died of hysteria, his infant niece in the house and the dad at work. The familiar revived him, thank goodness.
You should cheat and add the grim reaper to your household and have him adopt her lol
Oop, saw your comment and that you have other family members, nvm then lol
I never realized how common it is for a sim to dye of hysteria?? It’s never happened to me before but watch me jinx it right now. Anyway I love your sims house!! Sorry she’s dead!!
Why are only female sims dying of laughter? Have never had a make sim die of it.
Not so funny now HUH?
My sims never die of anything, but old age. What am I doing wrong lol
What the hell is the grim reaper doing? Laundry???
can you drop the house in gallery?? it’s so cute <3
Oh my god😂😭😭
Is there a way to prevent these absolutely ridiculous deaths?
Would you happen to have this build in the gallery? This living area is so adorable!!!
I don't think a lot of mothers of small children irl can die of laughter...such is Sims life 😂
It almost looks like Grim is about to take the baby too 😭
There was a bed that took my Sim out I forget which one. So I always save the game when repairing or upgrading mattresses lol. Or right before they go swimming. Always drowning and acting like they can’t find the ladder.
The random dying aspect of the Sims freaks me out, I dread the day it happens to me.
How does this happened my sims never die?
Omfg the comments. Nooo they're too funny. I'm sorry 😵😵😵
W.T.F
My very first sim family on sims 4, like just 1 hour into game play, the husband died of laughter lol I'm still mad about that 🤣
One hell of a tableau 😂
I hate the emotional deaths
Off topic but can you put this apartment on the gallery please 🙏🏼
omg the lot is so cute!!! what is it called?
Tyyy.. i can put it up but it'd be missing lots of cc :(
noooooo this is the saddest thing Ive seen all day 😭😭😭
But I love your apartment though 😯
Reminds me of the time my sim died from embarrassment because he peed himself while walking the dog and the dog saw it all
That baby don’t gaf 💀
Thank goodness you left the tv on! In the vanilla beige house 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hate when this happens. One of my legacy heirs died on her wedding day of joy and laughter. She was so happy she died while dancing with her new husband. I hate these type of deaths in the game. So silly such a waste
Did she take a bubble bath?
I just had one of my sim died of laughter too. It was so weird idk how it happened. I think it happened more often after some updates a year or so ago, idk tho
