So, you’ve been wondering, “What happens when my sim dies in Sims 4?” You’re not alone. There are many ways to die in the game, from drowning to overexertion. But before we get into that, let’s look at the causes of death and how you can simulate them. Read on to learn what happens when your sim dies in Sims 4.

About to die
The ominous phrase ‘about to die when your sim dies’ is actually a valid gameplay strategy for avoiding death in The Sims 4. One of the easiest ways to stop your Sims from dying is to drink their cowplant essence of life, which they can only get by milking a cowplant. The process of avoiding death is free from simoleons and satisfaction points, so it is a worthwhile gameplay strategy for a few hours.
There are two causes of this death, a sudden and accidental, and a semi-hidden one. The former occurs when you give a Sim the Night Wraith curse, which can be forced or automatically triggered. Either way, it will leave your sim incapable of sleeping or functioning, resulting in an accidental death. If you have a pet, you should try to get him a new one as soon as possible.
Overexertion
Overexertion is one of the biggest causes of death for older Sims. The effects are similar to aging in real life, and overexertion in the Sims game can occur from strenuous activity or too much woohoo. When your elder sim is overexerted, they will collapse and die from exhaustion. To avoid overexertion in the Sims game, you can starve them by locking them in a room and not giving them any food. In most cases, leaving the lot will free them. If you cannot repair them in time, you will have to wait until your sim dies to see if they have died from overexertion.
There are three types of overexertion in the Sims game. The most common is overexertion. You can die from overexertion by over-doing something, like putting an object into the oven or cooking. Other causes include being sabotaging a rocket, stuffing fruit into the exhaust port, or sabotaging a landing stabilizer. The last one, however, is the most dangerous and deadly: your sim could drown in his own papers!
Starvation
It is possible for your Sim to die of starvation, but the game doesn’t make this obvious. In Sims 4, your Sim will first go through two moodlets – “Hungry” and “Ravenous”. Both last 24 hours. After the “Ravenous” moodlet expires, your Sim will die of starvation. This is also a major change for the game compared to Sims 3. In Sims 3, your Sim’s weight would be set to very thin automatically.
If your Sim dies of starvation, his ghost will appear. This ghost will open a fridge to get food, but if the fridge is empty, the ghost will become angry. Fortunately, babies and children can’t die of starvation, and if they do, the social worker will remove them from their families. If you want to prevent your Sim from dying from starvation, you can drag the Hunger motive to zero with a cheat.
Electrocution
When your Sim dies in Sims 4, one of the most common causes is electrocution. This process is incredibly slow, and is among the least efficient ways to kill a Sim. The chances of electrocution occur when a Sim works on an object or replaces a light bulb, but they are much higher if your Sim is mechanical. Electrocution is also an option for non-mechanical Sims. A sim can also be electrocuted by turning on an appliance in water.
The second cause of electrocution is overexertion. Elders are particularly vulnerable to this condition, and the wrong clothes can cause them to freeze to death. The good news is that there are a number of ways to prevent this condition from happening to your sims. The first is to make sure that they are indoors and wear proper clothing. If possible, use a fireplace to warm your sims up if they have been out in the cold.
Overeating pufferfish
If you have ever had a bad Sim day and overeated a pufferfish, you may be interested in learning how to avoid this fatal error. While you can get a warning if your Sim eats too much pufferfish, the best course of action is to avoid eating it altogether. It may be tempting to buy the pufferfish from the local market, but it is not worth the risk. In addition, pufferfish can also cause your Sim to die if the quality is not good.
To prevent death, you can use special moves in the game. If your Sim has a high Gardening level, you can plant a Death Flower. You will need to plant several grafts to get the death flower. You can then give the flower to the Grim Reaper for 5 simoleans, but it is not necessary to buy it. When your Sim dies, he or she will be in mourning for up to 48 hours.
