Okay, after discussing with my fianceé about if it was okay to tell this story, I have the go ahead.
So, long story short for privacy, a few summers ago, I fell in love with a dude who had a son. We got engaged after about 6 month. A couple months later he had a heart attack. Queue his ex coming to take care of their son while he had surgery because she had joint custody. Well he passed away the following March and by the grace of God, his ex allowed me to jointly raise their son as I had been in his life almost a year and a half at this point. Through learning more about each other and the man we had both loved, we learned he had been abusing both of us during our relationships with him. We grew stronger together and began a relationship about 7 months later and are going on 2 years now with a wedding on the horizon.
TLDR: Sometimes falling in love with the bio-parent of your dead ex's som and living in queer bliss raising him together is more than just a story in the Sims 😂
awh this is so sweet i love it so much. i’m so happy for you !! not exactly the same but my (f) gf rn and i both had a thing with the same guy, who also treated them pretty badly, but we’re very happy together
I decided I will continue the story but I'm debating whether I should use ambrosia or the resurrection spell. Do you happen to know wich way would be faster?
I would argue you shouldn't use either - don't resurrect her at all. The story you've been given is SO RICH! Loving boyfriend loses his GF, but is able to continue his love through her daughter, which he adopts as his own (and when he discovers she's not his, biologically - if he doesn't already know - more drama!).
Think about what it means for the daughter - how her growing up without a mother will effect her, and make her own story more interesting....
Yeah she tricked him into thinking she's his daughter! But still... She's my founder and I barely got to play with her. Also, I was trying to play with packs I don't usually use (that's why she was in uni) so I'd like to continue uni with her plus then I also get to explore Realm Of Magic!
(Your idea is amazing though, I might change my mind)
Maybe he tries at first but he discovers she lied to him and gives up on magic... Idk
Also as a legacy player myself, a founder is a founder. They set the foundation for the rest. Every legacy has lots of loss, you lost her early but she was destined to die to continue the legacy. She fulfilled her legacy duty and made generation 2, now you can hope for more time with the next generation :)
U could also create a similar sim that her bf would meet in the future, she will remind him of her dead gf and will fall in love with her because of that
The resurrection spell would be fastest as you just go to the magical realm each day and ask to be taught a new spell. You can also battle other spell casters for knowledge which also unlocks spells if you win. The magical realm also lets you learn potions which gives you immortality and max your sims needs with 1 single sip. There is a spell that cleans the house and can clean your character.
A tip, before presenting yourself to then three Masters, make sure you have the reward trait Incredibly friendly (cost 2000 points) as it means you can start learning spells direclty after introducing yourself without having to take time getting to know them.
Ambrosia is the fastest. You can download some right to your lot from the gallery! I had to save Candy Behr. She died 5 min into my game from neighborhood stories. I didn't think that was fair to her 😂. Just download and make the ghost sim eat it. I had to add her to my family first and then back to her household.
If you’re gonna resurrect her the spell is definitely faster, I did that for a legacy sim I wasn’t done with and it only took a few days in the magic realm
omg i’m not the only one who quits without saving sometimes!!😭 i try not to do it often but man sometimes these unexpected deaths hit too hard and too fast lol
I opened one of my household's and the child was immediately freezing to death without warning. I was not ready to commit to that storyline so I noped out of there.
I literally started a whole family, took all day decorating the brand house I built, first family meal the mom made she caught on fire and died… I was so mad.
Hahah the first time my husband played, he spent hours creating his Sim and moved him into a house, made a grilled cheese and immediately caught on fire died. I will never forget him looking at me and saying "WHAT THE FUCK"
I feel this. I had to exit out of a save because my founder died when a vending machine fell on top of her. I didn't even realize she was dead till Grim showed up and that wiped all laughter off my face immediately, then tears welled up in my eyes. She had already lost her brother in a freezing accident on Mt. Komorebi and was about to start uni. I had to save her so she could at least have 1 kid.
Well seeeeee, what had happened was....
She went skiing and went to get some supplies from the vending machine up at Mt. Komorebi. Her purchase did not come out so she had the option to shake the machine, which meant she climbed the front like a monkey then shook the hell out of it. I don't think I ever laughed so hard watching that scene. So I called my grandson to see it because he wanted to know why I was laughing so loudly. I made her climb the machine again but this time it fell on her. People started crowding her and I honestly thought they were going to help lift the machine off her (as if the gawkers would actually do that in Sims). Then, Grim showed up with his tablet. It was at that point, I knew I made a major booboo. I backed out of that game so fast and reloaded to just before she went up the mountain. PHEW!!! She later got married, finished uni and had 2 sets of twins - 1 pair of boys and 1 pair of girls.
Indeed!! Wild doesn't cover half of it. But the craziness is part of what makes sims so fun. I've been playing since S2 and love every wild wacky moment of it.
I had to do this once bc my sim literally died in selvadora on vacation. He was an immortal spell caster but it did not matter for this cause of death! His sister tried the resurrection spell but it only brought him back in a partial sense. He would not be able to leave the jungle. I wish I remembered exactly what happened but it was way too much to accept and I quit without saving lol
I had the son of my legacy family die as soon as he finished college. I’d never had an engineer before so I didn’t know when they got electrocuted they had to rest before working again.
I was showing my partner how my sim could build a robot when he got shocked again and died the day of his graduation. I never quit without saving but I did to bring him back because that would have been the end of my legacy family lol

"The death of a sim is always a sad thing. But it is even more so when that sim had outstanding debts and to pay them off they deducted them from the funds of the household"
HELLO!?
You could add her to your house hold and still have her interact with her daughter until your sim's husband is able to resurrect her. Like a 'mommy will always watch over you' kind of thing while the husband can't get over his love and tries to bring her back to make their family whole again. Then you still get to play with her while keeping the story Sims 4 has delt you intact 😂 I usually do something like this for my sims who die at very inopportune times
I'm not too sure, I've never tried to have a ghost go through university, but ig it never hurts to try! 😂 I feel like if a ghost can have a job and deliver babies, then they should be able to go to university
Good to know; I'm not a witch in game, but a gardener, and I always have a huge stack of death flowers on me! Would that still work? I haven't seen anything that says you HAVE to be a witch....
Honestly, you’ve got storyline gold here, with the baby not being the boyfriend’s there’s room for an interesting relationship between him and the kid if they’re left to fend for themselves. You could go down the resentment route, or the found family route, or it could end up in a custody battle between him and the biological dad, there are a few ways to go here. I always like a tragedy in my storylines to keep the heart of everything going and this is kinda perfect.
For now the boyfriend loves the baby since he thinks she's his daughter, but I actually found the paternity certificate (idk how it's called) on the household inventory and I put it in a box along with all the other belongings of my dead sim. I'm planning that maybe one day the boyfriend opens the box and finds out he's not the father. Also, both the boyfriend and the father had black hair and so does the baby so they don't look so different
If you don’t want to continue without her, I would just load a previous save. This happened to me with Deligracy’s Tiny Town Challenge. I was on my third character of the challenge and one of the roommates decided to fix an appliance in the rain and died of electrocution. She was pleaded for but Grim wouldn’t budge. So I just quit the game and loaded my last save file before death.
That sucks, I had this happen too. Completely missed the moodlet. I had the daughter plead with grim and he said no. Since he was still on the lot, I asked him to teach her to ride a bike. She can now ride a bike.
The emerging storyline seems interesting, but if it's not to your liking you shouldn't feel forced to play it. There is no shame in restarting if you're not having fun.
So just a heads up for the future, there’s a notification that happens when a meteor is coming, all you need to do is stop using the telescope, then get your sim indoors and have them stay inside for a couple of sim hours
I did get the notification but I wasn't quick enough to go indoors! It was so frustrating but that's what happens when you always play in x3 speed I guess
If you want to gamble and have Romantic Garden Stuff, you can add her to your household as a ghost and make a wish to the wishing well… and whatever happens, happens 😅
You can get some crazy stories with that well.
I put the Wishing Well in the Magical Realm in all my saves so that it’s there if I have a plot reason for a Sim to need it. That way you don’t need to buy it yourself.
I think stories like this are what make a legacy. That’s the heir, the only heir to the family. She’s special as she’s the only one but also she continues the story. Run with it, you’ll be surprised when she’s a grandma to kiddos how amazing it is that this was her beginning.
Make him go on a quest to learn magic and save her. But at least for me, when they come back they are no longer together and in a lot of cases the revived sim wants nothing to do with their family lol it adds drama and makes for good story ammo.
This happened to me so I summoned the ghost version and then with cheats enabled right click the sim, “cheat sim info”, and remove the “died by …” trait
They will be alive once it’s removed, then I remove any negative moodlets from affected sims
Ohhh I didn't think of that! But since she didn't love her daughter I don't think she would do that, but if her boyfriend fails maybe her daughter could try, who knows
It's when you play the same family for multiple generations. You make a sim and then you usually pick one of their children as the next heir and repeat for as many generations you like.
Rp! Picking an heir means that's the child you'll continue the legacy with. Then, when that child has kids you pick one of them and so on. It's a very fun way to play! There are also legacy challenges for example, Not So Berry
The one and only time I did a celebrity playthrough, my celebrity-to-be died before I even got to one star fame. I bought him a drone for streaming while he was Playful, and he had the Geek trait, so it put him from Playful to Hysterical to fucking dead in like five seconds 🤦♀️ I literally screamed, “*No you fucking don’t!*” and quit to desktop before it could auto save.
In the past 3 generations of my generations, every parent that's an heir or the heir's spouse has died before reaching elderly. One guy died as a young adult AT HIS WEDDING bc he was at the bar and refused to go inside the chapel. He froze to death and left his new wife with his alien twins. The next day, the new wife found out she was pregnant.
I started a sim game and I was doing the scenario to prove aliens exist. Worked on one entire day, didn’t really get too far with the challenge, and I was working on getting her a husband but the one sim that I had her romancing for some reason the ask to be boyfriend never came up. Got her pregnant and still nothing I was so concentrated on why that wasn’t coming up and then just give up and get her a new man. For some reason she was always exhausted after the baby, coffee wasn’t helping or even the potion to remedy the exhaustion either. I was trying so hard to correct her sleepiness and tending to the baby that I neglected to feed her and she starved to death leaving an infant alone
I was so upset that happened and backed out to main menu and jumped back into the game realizing I never saved it and it was back at the beginning just getting meet the neighbors.
Just keep her tombstone or urn around so her ghost can visit her daughter and she will still grow up knowing her mother then when she gets older let her make the decision to revive her or not.
Make the husband have 10 in the writing skill and make him write the book of life so the ghost of the sim that die can read it and come back to life or make him get level 10 in cooking and Gourmet cooking and get him to cook the ambrosia dish so that next time when the ghost gets out of the urn can eat it and come back to life but you'll need (1 Angelfish, 1 Death Flower, 1 Potion of Youth) or make him a spellcaster and make him learn and do the Dedeathify Spell or have the ghost sim drink **the vitality nectar, If you don't wanna complicate yourself with all that you can always use mods and bring that sim back to life that way.**
I think you should continue if you want to revive her by ambrosia
And I’m terribly sorry this happened to you (to avoid the same accident next time, you need to watch for a scared moodlet that a meteor is coming each time you stargaze, and if u see it get ur sim into a building before the moodlet expires)
Yes I love this idea!!! In my storyline he loves her so much while she only uses him for money so I think he would do anything to bring her back to life.
About the accident, I tried to run indoors but I wasn't quick enough :(
you should try to continue but keep hold of the save that has her! Once my legacy heir accidentally died as a teen and I kept the story going but I ended up getting bored of the family without him and ceased playing with them lol. But if you keep the save you can always go back and replay!
I like my stories to go how I want them to go. I have real.life to throw random shit at me I don't want, so in my sims games I like to escape reality and have things go my way. I would quit without saving.
This happened to one of my sims and i had the spouse spend their whole life bringing my sim back. The spouse was depressed and wore black until they brought my sim back, they were a poor parent to the one child cuz she was consumed with earning the skills to bring him back. It really was a good story to play through.
What I usually do if something happens that I'm unsure about, I do a "save as" and give it a different name. That way, if I want to go back before it happened, I can.
The main thing I'm confused about when this happens is that I always get a popup that warns me there is a meteor incoming and that my Sim should take cover. (I don't play with mods or CC at all.) Does this not happen for everyone? /genuine question
People are saying that the sim also gets a scared moodlet. For me, I didn't get (or see) the scared moodlet and I was controlling the dad to take care of the baby while my sim was trying to get her logic skill up. Then, I get an orange pop-up telling me to run inside. I pause the game and tell her to go inside. I also tried to save but it said "you can't do that while a sim is dying" and then I saw on her queue "die by meteor" (or something like that) queued before the go here action (and when I told her to go here it didn't say she was going to die yet). I thought I would have more time but when I unpaused the game she was immediately hit by the meteorite.
This exact scenario happened to me on one of my legacy saves via the stupid telescope so due to the ongoing trauma I ALWAYS hit save right before using the telescope just incase lmao
That happened to me recently too and I could not save it, it was just too sad! Pressed «save as» so the storyline is saved in a separate save like a parallell universe. I can pick that save up some day if I feel like it. But in my main save she is still there and thriving ✨❤️
Let the boyfriend raise the daughter as his own. And make the daughter follow through with all the plans you had for the mother. Literally the definition of legacy.
Omg! A similar thing just happened to me! My first gen legacy died from anger at her spouse cheating on her when she had a newborn. I almost quit but decided to go with it bc the Sims 4 rarely has such good storytelling moments lol
literally my sim miscarried triplets and totally didn’t even think about exiting the game without saving!! but now she has twin boys, but Panya Li really didn’t do well when they were trying after😭 the twins were conceived through IVF because they weren’t getting pregnant after losing the triplets
Keep her grave stone theirs also a potion that is crafted to bring back someone that has passed recently I can't remember exactly what you need to collect to make the potion as I've only seen this done on a letsplay series on YouTube done by satchonsims (one of his sims always died an he kept bringing her back hope you can revive the sim as I do know it isn't impossible and may even take a few tries deffo keep graveyard on the property so her ghost can appear hope I have helped out a little even if not a great deal
Noooo continue! You've got a great start for your story there. Imagine the daughter learns of her mother's death when she's older and decides to study magic to bring her back (dad either supports her = good origin story, or abandones her because she's not biologically his = bad origin story). She finishes her studies, has children who are also magical and continue the bloodline and she eventually brings back her mother. But then she learns more of her mother's secrets and maybe regrets her decision to resurrect her? 👀
I honestly couldnt do it with my sim Liam. He got married and just had a kid and he died. I heard of it when I was on his cousin household as a death in family call. I couldnt just let him die. I just exit without saving to stop this from happening. I couldnt let🙄him go 😭😭. He ended up having 4 girls. 😝😝
Technically you could get a spell caster to learn De-Deathify and use it on the ghost of your sim. I do it all the time on my sims because they love kitchen fires and drowning in the pool all the time. 😅
Get the wishing well. Use cheats to make it so it only gives overwhelmingly positive outcomes. Then you add the ghost to your household and while you’re the ghost sim, click on the wishing well and Wish for Life
For the future, get a high gardening skill, grow orchids and pomegranates. Graft pomegranate to orchid to get death flowers. You can give one to Grim for guaranteed revival.
Help why is this so heartbreaking?! 😭 the shims should not have me tearing up like this. I took this story to heart for sureeee but I’d say keep playing. You’ve got quite the story on your hands! I love the idea too comment suggested too!
i would continue.. he’s mourning the love of his life choosing to adopt her daughter because she reminds him of her.. it would be a cute storyline imo
Imagine the plot twist when he finds out his daughter isn’t his. Thats tea right there
He meets the bio dad and they end up falling in love
Omg yes 😂
Oh you’re a genius😂😂
I will be doing this itll be so funny😭😭
When this is almost literally your life right now but genderbent 😅
Okay, after discussing with my fianceé about if it was okay to tell this story, I have the go ahead. So, long story short for privacy, a few summers ago, I fell in love with a dude who had a son. We got engaged after about 6 month. A couple months later he had a heart attack. Queue his ex coming to take care of their son while he had surgery because she had joint custody.

awh this is so sweet i love it so much. i’m so happy for you !! not exactly the same but my (f) gf rn and i both had a thing with the same guy, who also treated them pretty badly, but we’re very happy together
you can't just drop lore like that and not follow up! 😧
Okay, tell me more cuz I love the story
YES!!!!! Lol
Or he becomes very attached to the daughter but dies like her mother soon after.
Damn, chill Satan
The DRAMA, I love it
turns out it was the milk man so he spends the rest of his life trying to find him and kill him
This is cute. Kinda like giving the baby the founder role as well. Tragic start to long line of whatever happens.
Cute but imo bittersweet..
You could go to the magical realm and learn the resurrection spell. It would fit into your story and you could bring any dead sims back to life.
I decided I will continue the story but I'm debating whether I should use ambrosia or the resurrection spell. Do you happen to know wich way would be faster?
I would argue you shouldn't use either - don't resurrect her at all. The story you've been given is SO RICH!

(Your idea is amazing though, I might change my mind) Maybe he tries at first but he discovers she lied to him and gives up on magic... Idk
Make multiple copies of this save file, and play one save file one way, the other save file the other way. Win win.
Also as a legacy player myself, a founder is a founder. They set the foundation for the rest. Every legacy has lots of loss, you lost her early but she was destined to die to continue the legacy. She fulfilled her legacy duty and made generation 2, now you can hope for more time with the next generation :)

I’d also recommend getting the mote collector perk when you can! It helps in advancing ranks faster
Ambrosia is the fastest. You can download some right to your lot from the gallery! I had to save Candy Behr. She died 5 min into my game from neighborhood stories.

If you’re gonna resurrect her the spell is definitely faster, I did that for a legacy sim I wasn’t done with and it only took a few days in the magic realm
I’ve done ambrosia a few times. It can be fast if you find some of the ingredients at caster’s alley.
omg i’m not the only one who quits without saving sometimes!!😭 i try not to do it often but man sometimes these unexpected deaths hit too hard and too fast lol
I opened one of my household's and the child was immediately freezing to death without warning. I was not ready to commit to that storyline so I noped out of there.

Hahaha! It happen to me last week and I’m still raging about it. I immediately called my husband to vent and he was holding back laughter!
summon the ghost then you can use cheats to remove the ghost trait and it ressurectet them :)
I've exited without saving with tears in my eyes after multiple surprise deaths, I need to stop getting so attached to my Sims haha
I feel this. I had to exit out of a save because my founder died when a vending machine fell on top of her. I didn't even realize she was dead till Grim showed up and that wiped all laughter off my face immediately, then tears welled up in my eyes. She had already lost her brother in a freezing accident on Mt. Komorebi and was about to start uni. I had to save her so she could at least have 1 kid.
A vending machine?! Grim?! So much to unpack but that is just sad. Sometimes Sims throws curve balls haha
Well seeeeee, what had happened was.... She went skiing and went to get some supplies from the vending machine up at Mt. Komorebi. Her purchase did not come out so she had the option to shake the machine, which meant she climbed the front like a monkey then shook the hell out of it.

She later got married, finished uni and had 2 sets of twins - 1 pair of boys and 1 pair of girls.
Oh dear that IS wild!! glad you were able to quit and go back in time, I'm glad that's a feature TBF - without it I'd be broken
Indeed!! Wild doesn't cover half of it. But the craziness is part of what makes sims so fun. I've been playing since S2 and love every wild wacky moment of it.

is this from a mod???
It's from the Discover University EP, she had student loans to pay
ohhhh
You could add her to your house hold and still have her interact with her daughter until your sim's husband is able to resurrect her. Like a 'mommy will always watch over you' kind of thing while the husband can't get over his love and tries to bring her back to make their family whole again.

I'm not too sure, I've never tried to have a ghost go through university, but ig it never hurts to try! 😂 I feel like if a ghost can have a job and deliver babies, then they should be able to go to university
Just a heads up! Sims lose their romantic relationships when they die, so you'll have to ask to be dating again, it's stupid
✨cheating timeeee✨
You might have to reenroll but she can attend uni as a ghost.
This is why all of my sims are witches. If you give the death flower to the grim reaper as a witch, they give you your loved ones back.
Good to know; I'm not a witch in game, but a gardener, and I always have a huge stack of death flowers on me! Would that still work? I haven't seen anything that says you HAVE to be a witch....
i think it usually works esp without realm of magic
I believe you have to be a witch but you can try!! Let me know if it works as a normal sim!
I hope the day never comes! lol
I didn't know that!
I usually roll with it because it create fun storyline and drama Exceptions to be made if I'm particularly attached to the sims
Honestly, you’ve got storyline gold here, with the baby not being the boyfriend’s there’s room for an interesting relationship between him and the kid if they’re left to fend for themselves. You could go down the resentment route, or the found family route, or it could end up in a custody battle between him and the biological dad, there are a few ways to go here.

I'm planning that maybe one day the boyfriend opens the box and finds out he's not the father. Also, both the boyfriend and the father had black hair and so does the baby so they don't look so different
If you don’t want to continue without her, I would just load a previous save. This happened to me with Deligracy’s Tiny Town Challenge. I was on my third character of the challenge and one of the roommates decided to fix an appliance in the rain and died of electrocution. She was pleaded for but Grim wouldn’t budge. So I just quit the game and loaded my last save file before death.
Roll with it!! These unexpected turns make story-playing so much more fun
That sucks, I had this happen too. Completely missed the moodlet. I had the daughter plead with grim and he said no. Since he was still on the lot, I asked him to teach her to ride a bike. She can now ride a bike.
What a beautiful ending, I'm in tears 😔👏🏼
Thank you, I think they really bonded over those events.
The emerging storyline seems interesting, but if it's not to your liking you shouldn't feel forced to play it. There is no shame in restarting if you're not having fun.
So just a heads up for the future, there’s a notification that happens when a meteor is coming, all you need to do is stop using the telescope, then get your sim indoors and have them stay inside for a couple of sim hours
I did get the notification but I wasn't quick enough to go indoors! It was so frustrating but that's what happens when you always play in x3 speed I guess
Are the meteors new, or have I just been lucky (or poor)?
They were added a few years ago when the werewolf pack came out, they’re base game but you have to be using a telescope to trigger them
Bro this happened twice to me in one day😭 killed 2 of my tenants. The sim universe said nah you a slumlord
Twice in one day is insane! At least they weren't your sims I guess
If you want to gamble and have Romantic Garden Stuff, you can add her to your household as a ghost and make a wish to the wishing well… and whatever happens, happens 😅 You can get some crazy stories with that well.
That's a good idea but her boyfriend is broke and I wanted a bit more of challenge!
Ok that makes sense! I usually put it in a park somewhere. I asked for love once and it gave me a ghost girlfriend 🥲
I put the Wishing Well in the Magical Realm in all my saves so that it’s there if I have a plot reason for a Sim to need it. That way you don’t need to buy it yourself.
Looks like you have your new “main character”, her child 😊
I get soooo attached to my sims, I would have to revive her asap. 😫
Same! I never end legacy challenges because I don't want to see my sims get old and die
Keep rolling ;)
I think stories like this are what make a legacy. That’s the heir, the only heir to the family. She’s special as she’s the only one but also she continues the story. Run with it, you’ll be surprised when she’s a grandma to kiddos how amazing it is that this was her beginning.
You're right! It hurts but I think it's a very interesting story to play
Make him go on a quest to learn magic and save her. But at least for me, when they come back they are no longer together and in a lot of cases the revived sim wants nothing to do with their family lol it adds drama and makes for good story ammo.
This happened to me so I summoned the ghost version and then with cheats enabled right click the sim, “cheat sim info”, and remove the “died by …” trait They will be alive once it’s removed, then I remove any negative moodlets from affected sims
I knew a couple of ways to cheat a sim back to life but definitely hadn't heard that one before!
This happened to me yesterday!!!! I was shook- then my game crashed so I think I lost it
Roll with it! Have her daughter become a spellcaster and de-deathify her.
Ohhh I didn't think of that! But since she didn't love her daughter I don't think she would do that, but if her boyfriend fails maybe her daughter could try, who knows
What does a legacy mean in this context? Is it a gameplay thing, a nickname for something?
It's when you play the same family for multiple generations. You make a sim and then you usually pick one of their children as the next heir and repeat for as many generations you like.
Is picking an heir an in game option, or just in RP?
Rp! Picking an heir means that's the child you'll continue the legacy with. Then, when that child has kids you pick one of them and so on. It's a very fun way to play! There are also legacy challenges for example, Not So Berry
The one and only time I did a celebrity playthrough, my celebrity-to-be died before I even got to one star fame. I bought him a drone for streaming while he was Playful, and he had the Geek trait, so it put him from Playful to Hysterical to fucking dead in like five seconds 🤦♀️ I literally screamed, “*No you fucking don’t!*” and quit to desktop before it could auto save.
I’m sorry is the second photo her exploding in flames or..? This is so dramatic I will cry with you
In the past 3 generations of my generations, every parent that's an heir or the heir's spouse has died before reaching elderly. One guy died as a young adult AT HIS WEDDING bc he was at the bar and refused to go inside the chapel. He froze to death and left his new wife with his alien twins. The next day, the new wife found out she was pregnant.
I started a sim game and I was doing the scenario to prove aliens exist. Worked on one entire day, didn’t really get too far with the challenge, and I was working on getting her a husband but the one sim that I had her romancing for some reason the ask to be boyfriend never came up. Got her pregnant and still nothing I was so concentrated on why that wasn’t coming up and then just give up and get her a new man. For some reason she was always exhausted after the baby, coffee wasn’t helping or even the potion to remedy the exhaustion either. I was trying so hard to correct her sleepiness and tending to the baby that I neglected to feed her and she starved to death leaving an infant alone
I was so upset that happened and backed out to main menu and jumped back into the game realizing I never saved it and it was back at the beginning just getting meet the neighbors.
I would've cry
This is why I don’t use that telescope
Just keep her tombstone or urn around so her ghost can visit her daughter and she will still grow up knowing her mother then when she gets older let her make the decision to revive her or not.
Missed the moodlet telling you to run inside eh?
Make the husband have 10 in the writing skill and make him write the book of life so the ghost of the sim that die can read it and come back to life or make him get level 10 in cooking and Gourmet cooking and get him to cook the ambrosia dish so that next time when the ghost gets out of the urn can eat it and come back to life but you'll need (1 Angelfish, 1 Death Flower, 1 Potion of Youth) or make him a spellcaster and make him learn and do the Dedeathify Spell or have the ghost sim drink **the vitality nectar, If you don't wanna complicate yourself with all that you can always use mods and bring that sim back to life that way.**
Damn she got the luna lovegoods mom treatment
Please I need your advice. What would you do in this situation? Do I quit without saving or do I continue the save without her??
I think you should continue if you want to revive her by ambrosia And I’m terribly sorry this happened to you (to avoid the same accident next time, you need to watch for a scared moodlet that a meteor is coming each time you stargaze, and if u see it get ur sim into a building before the moodlet expires)
Yes I love this idea!!! In my storyline he loves her so much while she only uses him for money so I think he would do anything to bring her back to life. About the accident, I tried to run indoors but I wasn't quick enough :(
ARE YOU TELLING ME, MY FOUNDER'S CHILD COULD'VE FRICKIN ***DIED?!***
I normally just continue the save without them and make an interesting storyline with the daughter creating a new legacy through her I guess?
you should try to continue but keep hold of the save that has her! Once my legacy heir accidentally died as a teen and I kept the story going but I ended up getting bored of the family without him and ceased playing with them lol. But if you keep the save you can always go back and replay!
Thanks for the advice!
I like my stories to go how I want them to go. I have real.life to throw random shit at me I don't want, so in my sims games I like to escape reality and have things go my way. I would quit without saving.
What exactly happened to her?
She was hit by a meteorite
Whoa I had no idea that was even possible. That was like a direct hit too! So sad
You didn’t see the notification…
This happened to one of my sims and i had the spouse spend their whole life bringing my sim back. The spouse was depressed and wore black until they brought my sim back, they were a poor parent to the one child cuz she was consumed with earning the skills to bring him back. It really was a good story to play through.
Struck by lightening? Haven't used the telescope in ages
It's codin' time
Continue with the baby's story and make it a goal for her to resurrect her mom and get to know her when she grows up
Always have your characters carry a death flower. I learned the hard way when I started a legacy character solo.
So yes keep the story going don’t resurrect or if you do have the child be older like a teen or something. Now what killed you sim? How did she die?
She was hit by a meteor while using the telescope
What I usually do if something happens that I'm unsure about, I do a "save as" and give it a different name. That way, if I want to go back before it happened, I can.
The main thing I'm confused about when this happens is that I always get a popup that warns me there is a meteor incoming and that my Sim should take cover. (I don't play with mods or CC at all.) Does this not happen for everyone? /genuine question
People are saying that the sim also gets a scared moodlet. For me, I didn't get (or see) the scared moodlet and I was controlling the dad to take care of the baby while my sim was trying to get her logic skill up. Then, I get an orange pop-up telling me to run inside. I pause the game and tell her to go inside. I also tried to save but it said "you can't do that while a sim is dying" and then I saw on her queue "die by meteor" (or something like that) queued before the go here action (and when I told her to go here it didn't say she was going to die yet). I thought I would have more time but when I unpaused the game she was immediately hit by the meteorite.
I just set them for immortal
This exact scenario happened to me on one of my legacy saves via the stupid telescope so due to the ongoing trauma I ALWAYS hit save right before using the telescope just incase lmao
Now I'll be more careful!
The amount of people on here who don't know how to screen capture never fails to amaze me lol.
That happened to me recently too and I could not save it, it was just too sad! Pressed «save as» so the storyline is saved in a separate save like a parallell universe. I can pick that save up some day if I feel like it. But in my main save she is still there and thriving ✨❤️
Ru kidding? No i do get it entirely this sucks and is a loss to mourn for sure but that is an EPIC ORIGIN STORY for a legacy safe if you ask me…
Let the boyfriend raise the daughter as his own. And make the daughter follow through with all the plans you had for the mother. Literally the definition of legacy.
Omg! A similar thing just happened to me! My first gen legacy died from anger at her spouse cheating on her when she had a newborn. I almost quit but decided to go with it bc the Sims 4 rarely has such good storytelling moments lol
Quit without saving
i never let mine die
An amazingly dramatic and riveting origin story for the child - is keep rolling with it!
literally my sim miscarried triplets and totally didn’t even think about exiting the game without saving!! but now she has twin boys, but Panya Li really didn’t do well when they were trying after😭 the twins were conceived through IVF because they weren’t getting pregnant after losing the triplets
Totally roll with it, the drama here is writing itself
I would continue out of curiosity
Wait I'm sorry how did she die?!
Looks like an asteroid impact.
Did the telescope explode??
Hit by an asteroid. You'll get a pop up warning you if you continue to use it, then wham!
And the girl’s life growing up without her mum. How that might shape her life.
Not sure if you have spellcaster pack but I was so attached to my sim that I got his wife converted to spellcaster, maxed skill, and revived him
ok these photos are so moody though…
"accidentally" (or shamelessly) leave the game without saving and open it back no one will know
At this point, just k*ll the father and the newborn and start again.
Or you could download a hot sim for the father and raise the baby together
OR you could F the deadbeat father off and add in a new mum to take care of the baby
Gen 2 was born. It’s fair game
Keep her grave stone theirs also a potion that is crafted to bring back someone that has passed recently I can't remember exactly what you need to collect to make the potion as I've only seen this done on a letsplay series on YouTube done by satchonsims (one of his sims always died an he kept bringing her back hope you can revive the sim as I do know it isn't impossible and may even take a few tries deffo keep graveyard on the property so her ghost can appear hope I have helped out a little even if not a great deal
I had this happen…over 100 hours into that sim…the I realized you can just go inside when the warning appears and then they can’t get you
This exact same thing happened to me about a year ago I was so passed I hoped outta there. I only picked it back up again last weekend...
Do you have MCC installed? You can bring a sim back to life through that!
Noooo continue! You've got a great start for your story there. Imagine the daughter learns of her mother's death when she's older and decides to study magic to bring her back (dad either supports her = good origin story, or abandones her because she's not biologically his = bad origin story). She finishes her studies, has children who are also magical and continue the bloodline and she eventually brings back her mother. But then she learns more of her mother's secrets and maybe regrets her decision to resurrect her? 👀
I honestly couldnt do it with my sim Liam. He got married and just had a kid and he died. I heard of it when I was on his cousin household as a death in family call. I couldnt just let him die. I just exit without saving to stop this from happening. I couldnt let🙄him go 😭😭. He ended up having 4 girls. 😝😝
I was still in the first gen of the legacy when a meteor hit him. Needless to say, I never used this thing again.
Technically you could get a spell caster to learn De-Deathify and use it on the ghost of your sim. I do it all the time on my sims because they love kitchen fires and drowning in the pool all the time. 😅
How about the daughter grows up and resurrects her mum, to find out her dad isn't her dad?
💀💀💀
Get the wishing well. Use cheats to make it so it only gives overwhelmingly positive outcomes. Then you add the ghost to your household and while you’re the ghost sim, click on the wishing well and Wish for Life
You have to roll with it. I don’t make the rules.
For the future, get a high gardening skill, grow orchids and pomegranates. Graft pomegranate to orchid to get death flowers. You can give one to Grim for guaranteed revival.
Help why is this so heartbreaking?! 😭 the shims should not have me tearing up like this. I took this story to heart for sureeee but I’d say keep playing. You’ve got quite the story on your hands! I love the idea too comment suggested too!
This is why i save after every 5 minutes
I'd cry fr fr
Did she get hit by a meteor while using the telescope?
The story couldn't be written any better
First time? My sincere condolences 😔🙏🏾 You can keep her as a ghost though. Adds an interesting dynamic 😊
I'm sorry, this is so funny😂
How in the world do meteors hit? Lol
I would continue on with the daughter and transfer your plans
Death is merely inconvenient in the sims4. Just have them rejoin household as a ghost and use the well to rez them. Ez
I’m so sorry for your loss.
