[21] Killing Disasters
These disasters are not like the ones above, these can kill your Sim so read
carefully. Teenagers, adults and elders are able to be killed but children,
toddlers and babies are cannot be killed. Unless you deliberately kill them of
course. I've received word that if a Sim catches a disease, your infected Sim
can pass on the contagious disease to a child.
This chapter allows you access to kill off your Sims. Make sure you want to
do this because there is no way to bring a dead Sim back to their normal
state.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[21.01] Diseases
There are 5 diseases that your Sim can contract. Some are avoidable and can
be prevented but some are unavoidable and however elusive your Sim can get,
it will chase them. Teenagers, Adults and Elders can all contract diseases.
The five diseases are
Cold
Flu
Food Poisoning
Pneumonia
Virus
A cold is the basic disease. You have a chance of contracting the flu when
your Sim goes to school or work go the only Sims who can't catch the flu
directly are unemployed adults and elders. You can tell when your Sim has the
flu when you hear the Sim cough and sneeze. The cold is easy to spread around
so any social interactions with a sick Sim can result in the other Sim
catching the flu as well. This disease is not fatal (it won't kill) but left
untreated, it will turn into pneumonia.
A flu is an uncommon disease, as it can only be caught if your Sim is near
some disgusting cockroaches. This roaches only appear if your house is filthy
so if you have a clean house, you won't have roaches. Your can tell when your
Sim has the flu when your Sim starts to cough and goes to the dunny as a
result of diarrhoea. Like the cold, the flu is contracted to other Sims via
Social Interactions but it will kill your Sim if left untreated.
Food Poisoning is a disease you can easily avoid. It will only become
contracted if you eat food that has gone off (which has a green cloud over it
and flies) or if you lick clean a plate which has a green cloud over it. It is
not contagious so don't worry about your other Sims' but if you see that Sim
going to the toilet a lot (even if it is a full bladder bar) it means that
they have constipation, and if they throw up, chances are that they have been
poisoned via food. This will kill you if untreated.
Pneumonia is the severe version of the cold. It is formed if you fail to treat
or too lazy to treat the cold. Signs of this disease is when you see your Sim
coughing and very tired (going to sleep a lot). It is contagious but not as
bad as the cold, but like the cold, it will kill you if untreated.
A virus will infect your Sim if your Sim screws up at using the Science Reward
Object, the SimSanto Inc. Bio Station. If your Sim has a low logic skill when
they use the machine, the vial of potion you make could be a virus. The darker
the vial of magic potion, the more dangerous the virus is. Your Sim and other
Sims can contract a virus from the vial and it is more contagious than the
cold and the flu put together. It will kill your Sim if untreated.
In order to cure a disease, your Sim will need 14 Sim hours of rest. This
means 14 hours of napping, sleeping, etc. Your Sim could pass out and the 14
hours will still be counted. After 14 hours, not consecutive by the way, your
Sim will be cured. If not, they will die. The second way to treat a disease is
to have a Highly Logical Sim produce an antidote from the Bio Station.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[21.02] Drowning
Drowning is a death that your can deliberately cause at will. Make your Sim go
swimming and when they are in, remove the ladders. Once hunger or energy drops
down to nothing, they drown. You can't plead with the Grim Reaper unless they
drown near the edge and the Grim Reaper is near the edge. After all, however
faulty your Sims are, they cannot walk on water (they are not belonging to a
highly God like power group) or meditate there even though it is possible.
Everyone except toddlers and babies can drown.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[21.03] Electrocution
Electrocution happens when a lowly trained Mechanical Sim tries to repair an
electronic product but don't know how. Even highly trained Mechanical Sims
can get electrocuted like the Repair Man (I saw him get zapped 2 times in a
row) can get zapped. The electrocution won't kill you, neither will the
singed clothes you are wearing. Electrocution will drop your needs in half,
and if you have 3 or more needs at halfway points, you will die. Teenagers,
Adults and Elders can get electrocuted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[21.04] Fire
Fire is a common cause of death, as it can happen autonomously or by your
hands indirectly. Fire will start for several reasons.
* Your cooking level is low and your Sim uses a stove or microwave which has
a good chance of causing fire. I've heard of higher skilled Sims causing
fire but it is in the minority.
* You ruin food, which can start a fire
* Use cook food in the oven, microwave, walk away while is it cooking. The
longer you leave the food in there after the bell has rung, the more chance
there is of it catching fire. The more smoke there is, the closer it is
to catching fire.
* You get electrocuted while repairing something, which has a slight chance
of it catching fire.
When the fire starts, the object that starts the fire will be on fire. If you
are smart enough to put a smoke detector in your kitchen, the fire department
will always show up before the object is destroyed. Your initial reaction your
Sim will have will be to panic and they will come from all over the house.
Your Sim can extinguish the fire when you cancel their panic and clicking on
the burning object and then extinguish. They will put out the fire but slower
than the firefighter. You and the firefighter can shut down the blaze faster
if you two do it together. If the object does not get extinguished, it will
catch fire to other objects around it.
If the object is made of wood or uses electricity, the fire usually contracts
on that objects faster. If the fire can't find anything to consume, it will
burn out. The object will be a pile of ashes and reduce the environment score
a lot. If a Sim is next to a blaze, the Sim will catch fire. If they are not
extinguished quickly, they will burn to death.
If there is a fire in the house and you have a baby / toddler, the adult will
grab the baby and ran out of the house. This happens even if the baby isn't
in the fire itself.
Children, teenagers, adults and elders can burn to death and buy and build
mode are disabled so you can't move away objects.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[21.05] Fly Swarm
This cause of death is so rare, that the chances of it happening is equal to
a tsunami (no offence meant to the tsunami victims). This requires your house
to be very filthy. You need at least 15 plates with flies swarming over it.
The environment should be zero. Get your Sim to walk over the dirty plates and
on the rare chance of a tsunami, you Sim will get swarmed by flies and get
eaten alive. Gross.
Teenagers, adults and elders can be eaten alive.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[21.06] Old Age
When your Sims become elders, they will live for 15 to 25 Sims day before they
will die of old age. This span of days depends on how you treat them. They
higher the Aspiration Meter and mood, the longer they will live. You cannot
bring them back by pleading. Of course, the only Sims that can die are Elders.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[21.07] Satellite
There is a rare chance that when your Sim stargazes without a telescope or
just watch the clouds, a satellite (decommissioned) will come down from outer
space and splatter your Sim into tiny bits. It is rare but it will happen. As
a bonus of getting your Sim splattered, your can sell the satellite for money.
You can sell the satellite for §1,999 and the tombstone for §150 to further
insult your Sim's death.
Teenagers, adults and elders can be splattered by the satellite
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[21.08] Scared to Death
When there is a ghost in the house, there may be the chance that the dead Sim
will perform the Scare option on a living Sim. If that happens, it will be the
same as electrocution, if there is 3 or more needs at halfway they die of
fright as their needs drop into half. This is rare and when it happens, your
Sim can piss their pants and run, or just plain run. Elders have a higher
chance of getting scared than other Sims.
Teenagers, adults and elders can get scared to death.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[21.09] Starvation
When a Sim's hunger bar drops to zero, they will stuff their faces with food.
If there is no food, they will starve to death in one hour. Starvation will
kill teenagers, adults and elders but children, toddlers and babies will be
taken away by the social worker if that happens.
