*_NOVEMBER 2024 UPDATE_* I’ve uploaded an updated version of the video with 7 new death types from recent packs (Lovestruck and Life & Death) as well as the new changes on existing ghosts. Video here ruclips.net/video/QorFdhTbrLU/видео.htmlsi=Kjg3DExUAOJFzKcP
That death by laughter animation is genuinely terrifying. I had it happen once and wasn’t aware of that being a thing. Had a good few nightmares about that one
Death by laughter is by far my worst enemy because one of my favourite sims is a prankster and very easy to laugh and feel happy. I looked away for a second and suddenly he got hysterical, and if I wasn't quick, it would be too late. I might have only seen it happen once, but it was enough to make me constantly watch out for the sound cue of hysterical mood lol
yeah it happen to me as well. when i first time playing the sims, i had no idea why my sims suddenly died when they got hysterical buff and then creepy backsong appears. still give me nightmares until now
Yeah, never seen the animation but lost three out of my four sims at the same time when they visited the jokers vs. pranksters festival. Emotional death stayed turned off for the rest of my playtime till now.
I like the animations of death of old age. There's no struggle, no pain, just "I've had a good life and now it's time for me to rest". It's kinda... Zen
Same, though I almost wish it was like in The Sims 2 where there were two different animations depending on how "fulfilled" the Sim felt in their life.
Yes! :D The grim reaper would wear a flower lei and give the Sim a cocktail too! While in the other animation the elder Sim would fight with the reaper over an hourglass, dissatisfied with leaving "too early" @@SteamyPMcGee
I also like the Sims 3 one where they just immediately turn into a ghost instead of showing them die. Like they are ascending to a higher plane of existence.
Burglary is thought of as scarier than death (I might be wrong on that). Death is a sad yet natural part of life. I don’t know the scariness of Crime rates as each person has different fear levels, but the burglary sets a higher fear bar than Death. Eeeexcept for when deaths can become more gruesome…😟
I wish they kept the animations from The Sims 3 for cat, dog and horse death. It was so sweet how Death would give them one last hug and the animation of the pet going to the afterlife is so bittersweet
it was cool and nice, but i like the way elders die in sims 4 more, they lay down like they are resting, feels a bit more realistic for me tho. and the ghost still appears.
@@gabrielandy9272 yea, maybe they could tweak the animation so the pets would act more slow and tired when receiving the hug and going to the afterlife
@@lannamcf I love when media depicts the grim reaper in such a sweet way. They're not the one who killed you after all, they're just there to make sure you arrive safely in the afterlife!
Or better yet: death by too many interactions with silver objects! In myths and stories, werewolves are weak to silver, and a silver bullet an actually kill them. It would've been so cool to see either a death by wolfsbane or death by silver in the Sims 4: it would've added some cool possibilities to make your Sim a Werewolf hunter or something. I mean, we could kind of make vampire hunters in the Vampires pack, and I already have several of those walking around in my game. So sad that can't we do the same for Werewolves without the use of mods.
Okay, but 9:20 didn't need to make me laugh so hard. Katrina just walks by, acknowledges the death, and does a complete 180 like, "Hold up." That would be my nosey ass too
I love that the ghosts are just dancing after they die 😂 some of these death animations are much more violent than I remember. The rabbit death being cheatable is a godsend sometimes
"Devoured by the Mother Plant" genuinely haunts me. Especially with how long it takes for the gravestone to appear. It never takes Grim that long when he's tapping away on his tablet.
The animal deaths are so heartwarming and sad at the same time. I dread the moment I receive a notification about one of my animals' imminent death. Then, I remember one time, I found my evil chicken fighting Grim Reaper when he was supposed to send my elderly chicken off, the evil chicken won and my elderly chicken survived for some more days. It always cheered me up knowing there is this mechanic in the game. lol
If you ask the evil chickens for help, they will always fight Grim. It's kinda funny because one time my sim died due to the evil chicken and was still saved from death by the same chicken.
@@shadow_song an evil chicken happens when you feed a chicken a midnight treat. They can prevent grim from doing his job by attacking him but you have to ask for evil chicken help.
I feel there was a missed opportunity to make the 'Death by Chicken' sim Link from Zelda, but seeing Goku get his ass handed to him by a chicken was also pretty good
i once had wicked whims installed, and had peeping toms enabled. i was doing a legacy challenge and had just moved my current gen into a new house. my sim's elderly mother spawned as a peeping tom and died of overexertion 💀💀
Its great how much deaths are in this game but its a shame the chances of getting anything other than death by fire or starvation is so low in a normal playthrough
If you use the other things regularly they'll be just as likely. It's not hard to get most of these deaths, it just takes effort like starvation does (cuz with that one you have to actually *try* to starve them with how long they have to go without food).
Just have a wedding or other event outdoors when it's a heat wave or really cold. The sims will drop like flies. I had 6 sims die at one wedding once because my sims were living in Oasis Springs and I forgot it was winter elsewhere and had an outdoor wedding. Two of those sims were children.
Sims 4 aren't my fave but some of the types of death are worth to watch, the death animation from The Rent expansion pack hits way different from the rest of them all.
@@onlyabidoangI KNOW when I first saw the trailer and nothing else, I was like "!!!! WE'RE GONNA HAVE ZOMBIES?!! FINALLY?" because the trailer didn't make it entirely clear that the zombie-like animations at the end...weren't going to be followed by them getting back up. DANGIT. :( I still want zombies, fairies, and genies in Sims 4.
omg the scariest deaths have GOT to be the rodent fever, mold, laughter, and the computer overload one. they’re terrifying!! the saddest has to be any of the animals, the old age (sim one), and the death by embarrassment is kinda sad too :( gets in a little ball and dies
Some people find few of the basic deaths unrealistic like anger or laughter one but i find it normal cause... Dead by anger is basically Heart attack Dead by laughter is suffocation due to the non-stop laughter that doesn't allow sim to breath in So yeah, it is ok
@@therealmusiclover6969 1975 episode of The Goodies "Kung Fu Kapers". The episode is infamous for the documented example of a man laughing to death. Fifty-year-old Alex Mitchell could not stop laughing for a continuous 25-minute period-almost the entire length of the show-and suffered a fatal heart attack as a result of the strain placed on his heart.
@@therealmusiclover6969 I actually have heard of a case in which a man was watching his favorite show. He laughed so hard that he had a heart attack and died on the spot. The widow later sent the people from the show a letter. She wasn't angry at them. Instead, she thanked them for giving him joy till the end.
Death by laughter was my very first death in this game. My sim had just gotten engaged and was making silly gummy bear pancakes to bring his fiance breakfast in bed and DIED. I dropped the game for another year
One time one of my Sims became hysterical so I freaked out and deleted that save file. From now on I know that they need to try to calm down in their bathroom mirror whenever that happens, though.
I had the mother of a family die by laughter while standing surrounded by her collection of toddlers. I had to, very quickly, move her husband in so I wouldn’t lose the kids; and summon her ghost so he could invite her to join the household again. He then proceeded to get himself killed by meteor (partly encouraged but the final two efforts were all him), and be such a pain in the butt that I let his spirt return to the netherworld. She then raised four toddlers to adulthood before following him. To this day, I don’t have playful decor anywhere in the house and I don’t use the child’s play lot trait either…that was possibly the most traumatic death I’ve managed thus far, especially for a sim I wasn’t overly attached to and was mostly using to birth and raise partners for another family in a seperate save. I’ve also disabled deaths in neighbourhood stories because of how many sims I had to resurrect after discovering certain households were missing members that should’ve still been there. I have no way of retrieving Mortimer Goth, and I feel really bad for Cassie (my sim’s wife) and Bella that I didn’t even notice until it was too late. Bella got left with triplets and Alex to still raise, and there’s not a dang thing I could do to fix it.
the falling from heights one is, in my opinion, the one with the most morbid animation. The sims normally try to make everything about their game whimsical and silly, including something that isnt either of those things, death. So when they actually make a sim express genuine panic while trying to hold onto a cliff, only to fall and die INSTANTLY, especially if its something done by random chance, is kind of spooky :/
That's good point. Especially when every other death gives you some sort of warning /timer letting you know it's coming so you can unfk yourself. I would have imagined it being a warning of sweaty hands or lose grip or something. 😳
10:10 Oh wow! Not only is my clip used, but it is also credited. I feel so honored. Thank you! Anyways, what a great detailed video. Though I will point some things out: 3:16 For all emotional deaths, I've seen that it doesn't seem to happen when left in extreme emotion for too long, but rather can randomly be triggered when extreme emotion idle animation is played. Just something I've noticed in-game, but if it is so, finding an action that doesn't allow idle animations and keeping your sim at it is also a key to prevent it. Also, if you can't find anything quickly, then putting sims asleep also helps. 6:50 Agreed. I first saw that myth on SimsVIP, but it also put the (death by fire) between brackets there too. Haven't had any sims catch on fire due to rocket ship crash, so... I guess someone thought it was possible. After all, when the game was released, there were no ghosts, so there were no ghost traits to use to debunk it. 8:28 Not to mention that the wishing well can change the ghost type and can cause death by fire, anger, laughter, and embarrassment. 17:31 It doesn't actually require hungry fishes: it can happen at any time. SimsVIP has also given the factors in Get Famous guides: depending of whether sim falls in after playing with fishes or jumps in willingly, sim's mood, fitness skill, and traits also affects it. Yes, hungry fishes do increase the chance, and as an additional fun fact, sims downing in a pond will actually feed sharks/piranhas in it. 18:26 Now that is something I've looked deep into (and shared results in The Sims Forums in "There are sharks in Britechester's waters?!" thread). Basically, there are three ocean danger levels: safe (no sharks), mild (sharks, but no attacks), and dangerous (sharks and attacks). This can happen in dangerous oceans (which are located in neighborhoods like Mua Pel'am in Sulani, Foxbury Institute in Britechester, and Koh Sahpa in Tomarang). The footage in the video was in Mua Pel'am for those curious. The water doesn't seem to need to be deep as it can happen further away from red buoys. Though I have to look into it, as someone on forums did report that one of their sims was pulled underwater in Gilbert Gardens in San Sequoia (which I determined to be mild). 23:48 It should be mentioned that the same injury moodlets can come elsewhere too (snow activity fails, vending machines, werewolf attacks etc.) So yeah, if your sim ends up with Close Call from failed snowboarding and then gets crushed by a vending machine, then they're dead.
Oh, I forgot to mention! 1:29 It's not that sim has a chance of dying by old age every day after the aging bar reaches full, but rather it is a set a amount (depending on the lifespan). After the aging bar reaches full, the sim has 12 hours on short, 1 day on normal, and 3.5 days on long left. However, the aging bar will not take into account life-extending traits (Active and Long Lived), thus it'll take more time for these sims to die after the aging bar reaches full.
@@lannamcf Indeed it does so. That's as all the ghost traits are added to the base game with updates, with death ways to obtain the trait being locked behind DLC (except drowning and meteorite). Though yeah, some ghosts have some effects missing without their appropriate pack (for example, mold. No mushrooms, no spores, no special interactions without For Rent).
I looked into the death by rocket ship one because I distinctly remember, a LONG time ago, I had a sim die from death by crash. I was surprised it happened at all. I found the forum where SimGuruNick? Said it was never in the game. But someone else mentioned their sim died from a rocket crash, some time after GTW. Which is around the time my Sim died too. Maybe a strange bug got released and removed.
To be specific, once you get the meteorite warning, you have 20 in-game minutes to get to shelter. Be careful with increased game speed while using a telescope. That 20 minutes can pass in a blink. The event isn't entirely random. It seems to be scheduled at least somewhat in advance. I had a Sim living alone. She had her telescope on the roof and needed to use a ladder to get indoors. She couldn't easily make it in time. When she died, the game sent me back to my last save since she lived alone. After the reset, every attempt at the same time to use a telescope yielded the same result with a meteorite event triggering. This happened at least 3 or 4 times until i finally got her escape pinned down and got her indoors within the 20 minutes.
@@esthergames1774 - No, it's really not. You can test this yourself a variety of ways. For instance, grab a watch or clock that ticks each second. You'll see the tick doesn't line up with the number changes. An in-game minute is longer than a real world second. 40 in-game minutes equals 60 real world seconds (1 minute). At normal speed, you actually have 30 seconds to get to shelter. I also specified in-game minutes because you can speed up time in the game, which makes that 20 minutes you get to run for cover pass much faster.
Funny story about the rocket ship crash death: I found a thread on the ea help forum and apperantly there was never a death by rocket ship in the game and the fire is just an effect. But in a guide made by EA they used the rocket ship crash as an example for a fire death for some reason and that is why there is this myth of the rocket ship death and a lot of guides have included it because of that.
3:46 Ah yes, death by embarrassment. The most common way Sims died in GrayStillPlays' videos 🤣 Edit: 5:29 Death by drowning is a close second, 'cause they don't even need the pools to be boxed in with fences to spontaneously drown
I have to scroll down to find this cmt. The similarity is just to close, it's most definitely a RE easter egg. And the way you can summon mushroom and mold remind me of the main antagonist in 7
My favorite two types of death are the Mother Plant death because the ghost is so useful since all needs are maxed and the Beetle Juice death because you can use them to farm reward store points from haunted house lots. They can sleep right through any and all disturbances even on heroic mode.
Death by laughter and anger are the most realistic emotional deaths cause both can cause you to have a stroke and go into cardiac arrest but the laughter one is extremely rare to happen in real life.
The rabid rodent fever death is my least favorite one one sim have one and died it made me scared i had rabies but i didn’t had and I didn’t play the sims 4 for days
I just appreciate you going above and beyond by describing what special effects each ghost type has. I didn't even know a Rabid Rodent Fever ghost can lose their costume by taking the vaccine for it.
i knew death by beetles was a beetlejuice reference as soon as you said the drink name. you should've made the character you used for the example death lydia or something!
I actually originally found your channel years ago when you uploaded your sims 3 deaths video. I didn’t subscribe the first time watching just because I didn’t have a RUclips account at the time, but when I got one and found your channel again I subscribed. You uploading this just reminds me of that first video of yours I watched.
I see how they tried to mimic this with farm animals in Sims 4, but why not remake other pets deaths too? They seem so lacking, depressing, lonely for the pets...
I like that mold one... It's both very grounded in reality, looks very scary on the Sim in their last stage of infection, and gives the ghost a myriad of interesting abilities. 👀 10/10 death (I'm a very caring player to my Sims so wouldn't let them experience that, but still.)
I love how many deaths there are in the game, but I wish the ghosts were more visually diverse and appealing like sims 3 ghosts. Fuck a regular grey and pink ghost, gimme red vampire ghosts and bright blue drowned ghosts! I want my neon green ghooooosts!!
Thank you for this, I had no idea playing as a ghost was this cool. I don’t know if they added this after this video, but in the realm of magic pack, if you keep casting dedeathify too many times (without overloading) it can temporarily turn you into a ghost 😊
@@ShakylaDenniss1qq yes, he's last boss material and final fantasy is the kind of game where you destroy universes in single moves to attack the other, so a last boss dying of a vending machine.... 🤣
I always wishes that "extinguish self" wasn't an option. Most deaths you have to actively try to manage but I like the element that sometimes, every now and then, something is out of my control. Most people have other sims, or at least a shower on lot that they can use to extinguish their sims. With extinguish self, there's no reason to use those options.
Good point. That interaction was only ever introduced in sims 4 and not in the prequels. For now, at least the interaction isn't autonomous iirc so you need to instruct your sims to do that.
I'm surprised none of the violent mods (Extreme Violence, Path of Legends) have made use of some of the deaths here. The laughter death would be perfect for something like Joker Gas, especially when mixed with the Stink Capsule's functionality
I love that in this video, one of the very first things every ghost does is DANCE!! XD "I died horribly." (very next scene) "LET'S BOOGIE!" --Aww, the fact that the sauna-oofed Sims break the sauna is kinda sweet...because it means that the next Sim CAN'T autonomously die from it like they did! --DAAAAAMMMMNNN, Katrina Caliente just sauntering by while your vampire scorched to a crisp right in front of her, was COLD. Wow, lady. --NOOoooooo I dun wanna watch the pixel kitty die again... :( :( :( On the other hand, my main Sims family was then able to adopt their ghost kitty right back. :) --Lol at Geraint being like "What kind of contraption am I looking at?" when you told him to research Rabid Rodent Fever on the computer. XD --Dude, the Motherplant does not fool AROUND! That death animation contains smacking around just for fun, rubbing tendrils over where the stomach would be like "Yum!"... --The Freezing-death ghosts...I found out by accident that if you do stuff around them they do not like, they may just freeze your entire household. One time I had a Sim flirting with her current husband in front of the ghost of her old one, who had frozen to death mysteriously ;) in an outdoor swimming pool in winter, and I realised that every time she did something especially romantic with the new guy, EVERYBODY STARTED COMPLAINING OF COLD. Everybody. The heat was on and functioning. The ice ghost was just PISSED. Dude, it's literally "until DEATH do us part". She's allowed to move on now! :P (Even better, this was all happening during Winterfest, so THAT kinda kicked the holiday in the pants...) Yes, this was the same family that has a ghost cat. --Death by Flowers: I love the Sim who gave the Death Flowers' reaction to the elder Sim dying in front of them, was to....change their clothes. what. --Heh, the ghost from the previous "Death by Research" ghost is the one taking care of the broken Servo. Nice. (Also aww, she was sad after he blew up...) --I think all the animal-related deaths from Cottage Living are perfectly justified. You were repeatedly mean to an animal on PURPOSE, you jerk. --God, the shadow hand from the "Death by Urban Myth" one reminds me of when shadow hands DRAG YOU INTO THE UNDERWORLD in Don't Starve... --The Stink Prank one seems like another case of "You brought this on yourself, buddy-boy." --Lol at the ghost horse going through the wall like "WAZZUP". XD --Last but not least, the Death by Mold one is SERIOUSLY messed up and gross. Like, wow. I agree with the person saying "We can't have burglars, but THIS is okay?!"
I heard that the rocket ship crash could cause your Sim to catch on fire, so I always viewed that as a death by fire rather than by rocket ship specifically. Will you be making videos on extra features from Growing Together and Horse Ranch? And could you make one on cross gameplay with infants and other packs like you did for toddlers?
Among those deaths, the hysterical one seems to trigger easily in the game. Maybe because most of my sims love to laugh hahaha. Anyway nice content kak abi!!
I made an entire building just to cause that kind of death and it hasn’t happened in my game. You can find it in the gallery if you type “happiest place on earth” (by Dra.Alienn). Let’s see if it kills your sims
ngl kinda like the idea of making a household where its 1 sim who is a medium and all the other sims are ghosts with various different deaths and put em all in a haunted house
Me thinking how i want 6 of those expansion pack , because those are some very cool deaths.😂 you just made me so interested in strangerville and many others! I just found you channel and i really like the simple explanation you do for every death and ghost!
Vlad once showed up at my sim's house in the middle of the night and tried to drink her blood, so I went into manage worlds, took control of Vlad, and forced him to have a bonfire in the middle of the day on one of the beaches in Sulani.
I don't know why but the cats and dogs death gets me everytime! And yes I have the pack installed but I can't give my sims pets anymore cause Im the one ending up sadder then my sims. 😢😅
6:12 My teenage sim died because of a meteorite. I had them run inside the house the moment I saw the buff, but the second it went out they were outside again. Not only they died in front of their twin, it was their little brother's birthday.

I also like the Sims 3 one where they just immediately turn into a ghost instead of showing them die. Like they are ascending to a higher plane of existence.
the fact we cant have burglars because they're "too scary and induce anxiety" but they okayed deaths animations like laughter and mold 😭

How are burglars scary? It's just another sim. Just one that wants to steal your things

And then Joker Persona 5 just gets smiled by lightning
Sakura from Naruto was also there
And geralt
don't forget Sakura lol
No unique death for werewolf sounds like missed opportunity. Maybe they can have death by wolfsbane or something.
Or better yet: death by too many interactions with silver objects! In myths and stories, werewolves are weak to silver, and a silver bullet an actually kill them. It would've been so cool to see either a death by wolfsbane or death by silver in the Sims 4: it would've added some cool possibilities to make your Sim a Werewolf hunter or something.

@@slwrabbitsAmerica?
@JosieJane27 i mean they can't have children or teens die in the sims so that's probably why
Okay, but 9:20 didn't need to make me laugh so hard. Katrina just walks by, acknowledges the death, and does a complete 180 like, "Hold up." That would be my nosey ass too
Same lmao
I think the person is trying to reassure Katrina by saying, “asthma, ASTHMA!!” Then dropping dead.
I love that the ghosts are just dancing after they die 😂 some of these death animations are much more violent than I remember. The rabbit death being cheatable is a godsend sometimes
"Devoured by the Mother Plant" genuinely haunts me.
Especially with how long it takes for the gravestone to appear. It never takes Grim that long when he's tapping away on his tablet.
What's even worse, the sim tries to climb back out and gets swallowed again... that's just horrifying... gives me the shivers.

@@Ocidad yea the mod has premade peeping toms, but sims outside of your household can also be randomly selected to be one lol
@@mi1kguts thats crazy 😂
Your sim can also be a peeper in someone else's window.

Its great how much deaths are in this game but its a shame the chances of getting anything other than death by fire or starvation is so low in a normal playthrough
if there isn't one already, there should be a mod that makes these deaths more common and easy to get
the death by freze happens alot to npcs tho.
Emotional deaths are also really easy to get espesially by laughing 😂
If you use the other things regularly they'll be just as likely. It's not hard to get most of these deaths, it just takes effort like starvation does (cuz with that one you have to actually *try* to starve them with how long they have to go without food).

omg the scariest deaths have GOT to be the rodent fever, mold, laughter, and the computer overload one. they’re terrifying!!
the saddest has to be any of the animals, the old age (sim one), and the death by embarrassment is kinda sad too :( gets in a little ball and dies
OMG SAME the mold was so scary it made me scared of moldilitis (cuz i thought it existed) for a day
i love how many deaths and ghosts there are in the sims 4
Some people find few of the basic deaths unrealistic like anger or laughter one but i find it normal cause...
Dead by anger is basically Heart attack
Dead by laughter is suffocation due to the non-stop laughter that doesn't allow sim to breath in
So yeah, it is ok
It’s still unrealistic because I never heard of anyone in rl actually dieing of laughter 😂
@@therealmusiclover6969A human should pass out, stop laughing, and start breathing. But yeah, sims are not human.
@@therealmusiclover6969 1975 episode of The Goodies "Kung Fu Kapers". The episode is infamous for the documented example of a man laughing to death. Fifty-year-old Alex Mitchell could not stop laughing for a continuous 25-minute period-almost the entire length of the show-and suffered a fatal heart attack as a result of the strain placed on his heart.
Fun fact:A couple real life people died from laughing due to preexisting medical conditions.
@@therealmusiclover6969 I actually have heard of a case in which a man was watching his favorite show. He laughed so hard that he had a heart attack and died on the spot. The widow later sent the people from the show a letter. She wasn't angry at them. Instead, she thanked them for giving him joy till the end.
Death by laughter was my very first death in this game. My sim had just gotten engaged and was making silly gummy bear pancakes to bring his fiance breakfast in bed and DIED. I dropped the game for another year
Ah, but now you have a ghost boyfriend! If anything, I think that adds more intrigue to the story lol
One time one of my Sims became hysterical so I freaked out and deleted that save file. From now on I know that they need to try to calm down in their bathroom mirror whenever that happens, though.
I had the mother of a family die by laughter while standing surrounded by her collection of toddlers. I had to, very quickly, move her husband in so I wouldn’t lose the kids; and summon her ghost so he could invite her to join the household again. He then proceeded to get himself killed by meteor (partly encouraged but the final two efforts were all him), and be such a pain in the butt that I let his spirt return to the netherworld. She then raised four toddlers to adulthood before following him. To this day, I don’t have playful decor anywhere in the house and I don’t use the child’s play lot trait either…that was possibly the most traumatic death I’ve managed thus far, especially for a sim I wasn’t overly attached to and was mostly using to birth and raise partners for another family in a seperate save. I’ve also disabled deaths in neighbourhood stories because of how many sims I had to resurrect after discovering certain households were missing members that should’ve still been there. I have no way of retrieving Mortimer Goth, and I feel really bad for Cassie (my sim’s wife) and Bella that I didn’t even notice until it was too late. Bella got left with triplets and Alex to still raise, and there’s not a dang thing I could do to fix it.
the falling from heights one is, in my opinion, the one with the most morbid animation. The sims normally try to make everything about their game whimsical and silly, including something that isnt either of those things, death. So when they actually make a sim express genuine panic while trying to hold onto a cliff, only to fall and die INSTANTLY, especially if its something done by random chance, is kind of spooky :/
That's good point. Especially when every other death gives you some sort of warning /timer letting you know it's coming so you can unfk yourself.
I would have imagined it being a warning of sweaty hands or lose grip or something. 😳
@@dahlrjay63 gosh I didn't even consider the fact that there's no warning
10:10 Oh wow! Not only is my clip used, but it is also credited. I feel so honored. Thank you!
Anyways, what a great detailed video. Though I will point some things out:
3:16 For all emotional deaths, I've seen that it doesn't seem to happen when left in extreme emotion for too long, but rather can randomly be triggered when extreme emotion idle animation is played. Just something I've noticed in-game, but if it is so, finding an action that doesn't allow idle animations and keeping your sim at it is also a key to prevent it. Also, if you can't find anything quickly, then putting sims asleep also helps.
6:50 Agreed. I first saw that myth on SimsVIP, but it also put the (death by fire) between brackets there too. Haven't had any sims catch on fire due to rocket ship crash, so... I guess someone thought it was possible. After all, when the game was released, there were no ghosts, so there were no ghost traits to use to debunk it.
8:28 Not to mention that the wishing well can change the ghost type and can cause death by fire, anger, laughter, and embarrassment.
17:31 It doesn't actually require hungry fishes: it can happen at any time. SimsVIP has also given the factors in Get Famous guides: depending of whether sim falls in after playing with fishes or jumps in willingly, sim's mood, fitness skill, and traits also affects it. Yes, hungry fishes do increase the chance, and as an additional fun fact, sims downing in a pond will actually feed sharks/piranhas in it.
18:26 Now that is something I've looked deep into (and shared results in The Sims Forums in "There are sharks in Britechester's waters?!" thread). Basically, there are three ocean danger levels: safe (no sharks), mild (sharks, but no attacks), and dangerous (sharks and attacks). This can happen in dangerous oceans (which are located in neighborhoods like Mua Pel'am in Sulani, Foxbury Institute in Britechester, and Koh Sahpa in Tomarang). The footage in the video was in Mua Pel'am for those curious. The water doesn't seem to need to be deep as it can happen further away from red buoys. Though I have to look into it, as someone on forums did report that one of their sims was pulled underwater in Gilbert Gardens in San Sequoia (which I determined to be mild).
23:48 It should be mentioned that the same injury moodlets can come elsewhere too (snow activity fails, vending machines, werewolf attacks etc.) So yeah, if your sim ends up with Close Call from failed snowboarding and then gets crushed by a vending machine, then they're dead.
Oh, I forgot to mention!
1:29 It's not that sim has a chance of dying by old age every day after the aging bar reaches full, but rather it is a set a amount (depending on the lifespan). After the aging bar reaches full, the sim has 12 hours on short, 1 day on normal, and 3.5 days on long left. However, the aging bar will not take into account life-extending traits (Active and Long Lived), thus it'll take more time for these sims to die after the aging bar reaches full.
The wishing well sometimes gives my Sims ghost traits from packs I don't have 😅
@@lannamcf Indeed it does so. That's as all the ghost traits are added to the base game with updates, with death ways to obtain the trait being locked behind DLC (except drowning and meteorite).
Though yeah, some ghosts have some effects missing without their appropriate pack (for example, mold. No mushrooms, no spores, no special interactions without For Rent).
I looked into the death by rocket ship one because I distinctly remember, a LONG time ago, I had a sim die from death by crash. I was surprised it happened at all. I found the forum where SimGuruNick? Said it was never in the game. But someone else mentioned their sim died from a rocket crash, some time after GTW. Which is around the time my Sim died too. Maybe a strange bug got released and removed.
the catastrophic meltdown is one of the most aggressive death animations I've ever seen
To be specific, once you get the meteorite warning, you have 20 in-game minutes to get to shelter. Be careful with increased game speed while using a telescope. That 20 minutes can pass in a blink. The event isn't entirely random. It seems to be scheduled at least somewhat in advance. I had a Sim living alone. She had her telescope on the roof and needed to use a ladder to get indoors. She couldn't easily make it in time. When she died, the game sent me back to my last save since she lived alone. After the reset, every attempt at the same time to use a telescope yielded the same result with a meteorite event triggering. This happened at least 3 or 4 times until i finally got her escape pinned down and got her indoors within the 20 minutes.
One in-game minute = one second
@@esthergames1774 - No, it's really not. You can test this yourself a variety of ways. For instance, grab a watch or clock that ticks each second. You'll see the tick doesn't line up with the number changes. An in-game minute is longer than a real world second. 40 in-game minutes equals 60 real world seconds (1 minute). At normal speed, you actually have 30 seconds to get to shelter. I also specified in-game minutes because you can speed up time in the game, which makes that 20 minutes you get to run for cover pass much faster.
Groundhog day but you're creating your own death
@@guywhoateallthepizza1031 - Funny thought. You're not really wrong.
Funny story about the rocket ship crash death: I found a thread on the ea help forum and apperantly there was never a death by rocket ship in the game and the fire is just an effect. But in a guide made by EA they used the rocket ship crash as an example for a fire death for some reason and that is why there is this myth of the rocket ship death and a lot of guides have included it because of that.
3:46 Ah yes, death by embarrassment. The most common way Sims died in GrayStillPlays' videos 🤣
Edit: 5:29 Death by drowning is a close second, 'cause they don't even need the pools to be boxed in with fences to spontaneously drown
I miss his videos 😩
@@samanthamorton1940samee like I love what he plays now but I miss his sims videos
@Rogertaylorscar. "Man sims are more fragile than goldfish" -GrayStillPlays
No way! I didn't realise there were so many death types! I feel like such a pro at keeping my Sims alive in this absolute MINEFIELD! 😂
Nah sims are just too stubborn to die an accidental death most of the time 😅
I love that the mold death is like a call out to the newer Resident Evil games. Makes this RE & Sims fan happy lol
I have to scroll down to find this cmt. The similarity is just to close, it's most definitely a RE easter egg. And the way you can summon mushroom and mold remind me of the main antagonist in 7
Oh my god, seeing various tv/video game/movie characters in this is hilarious, especially when it’s one that has a really ridiculous death animation.
Watching Sephiroth die of vending machine was hilarious. Lol. All Cloud had to do all along was give Sephiroth a few coins for a snack.
bruv could've just used his sword to open the vending machine and get all the snacks he ever wanted lol
I had no idea ghosts had buffs! All these years. Very cool video, I loved watching and learning new things. Thanks
My favorite two types of death are the Mother Plant death because the ghost is so useful since all needs are maxed and the Beetle Juice death because you can use them to farm reward store points from haunted house lots. They can sleep right through any and all disturbances even on heroic mode.
never knew i needed to see sephiroph getting pummeled by a vending machine until today
The best part of this video is Sephiroth being afraid of vending machines.
5:43 “Nah, removing pool ladders won’t work this time, they’re smart now.”
Me: Our Sims now know what we‘be been doing to them, we’re screwed!
Death by laughter and anger are the most realistic emotional deaths cause both can cause you to have a stroke and go into cardiac arrest but the laughter one is extremely rare to happen in real life.
Yep that's for sure
I would find it amusing if they added some kinda "Death by Arousal". Your character gets so incredibly horny (flirty) that they end up dying from it.
Hooray it's here!
DAMMIT EMILY U R BLOCKING THE SCENE got me🤣😭
5:29 1. Water: Death By Drowning
0:48 2. Fire: Death By Fire
6:08 3. Earth: Death By Meteorite
2:32 4. Air: Death By Electrocution
Wondering if the Death by Rabbid Rodent Fever gets mentioned because so few own the My first pet stuff pack 😅
since it's currently free, maybe we'll hear more about it in the future :D
The rabid rodent fever death is my least favorite one one sim have one and died it made me scared i had rabies but i didn’t had and I didn’t play the sims 4 for days
1:39 This is by far the safest death in sims.
25:54 goku dying to a chicken is something a i did not expect
9:24 Catrina just walked by so casually with her feminine walk while someones dying 😂
I find it so fun that it was your all deaths and ghosts in Sims 3 video that introduced me to this channel and now here we are with the Sims 4 version
I just appreciate you going above and beyond by describing what special effects each ghost type has. I didn't even know a Rabid Rodent Fever ghost can lose their costume by taking the vaccine for it.
That fcking costume makes that death the scariest one omg
i knew death by beetles was a beetlejuice reference as soon as you said the drink name. you should've made the character you used for the example death lydia or something!
Seeing Goku get KO'd by an evil chicken was hilarious xD
It seems like something that would actually happen in an early season of DBZ or DB in a calmer moment of the show. 😂
I actually originally found your channel years ago when you uploaded your sims 3 deaths video. I didn’t subscribe the first time watching just because I didn’t have a RUclips account at the time, but when I got one and found your channel again I subscribed. You uploading this just reminds me of that first video of yours I watched.
Animal deaths from the Sims 3 still are my favorite, it's sad, cute and wholesome, but the horses one... It's just magestic.
I see how they tried to mimic this with farm animals in Sims 4, but why not remake other pets deaths too? They seem so lacking, depressing, lonely for the pets...
I like that mold one... It's both very grounded in reality, looks very scary on the Sim in their last stage of infection, and gives the ghost a myriad of interesting abilities. 👀
10/10 death
(I'm a very caring player to my Sims so wouldn't let them experience that, but still.)
Holy moly man, all of them?? You’re a rockstar, thank you so much for the video!
I love how many deaths there are in the game, but I wish the ghosts were more visually diverse and appealing like sims 3 ghosts. Fuck a regular grey and pink ghost, gimme red vampire ghosts and bright blue drowned ghosts! I want my neon green ghooooosts!!
21:00 DAMN IT EMILY GO AWAY YOUR BLOCKING THE SCENE 🗣🗣🔥🔥
Wow this is amazing the work you put into this! Congrats and can’t wait to see what new deaths the sims team comes up with in the future
Thank you for this, I had no idea playing as a ghost was this cool. I don’t know if they added this after this video, but in the realm of magic pack, if you keep casting dedeathify too many times (without overloading) it can temporarily turn you into a ghost 😊
As a ff player, sephiroth dying from the vending machine was pretty funny. Who knew it was that easy
Do you mean Final Fantasy by ff?
@@ShakylaDenniss1qq yes, he's last boss material and final fantasy is the kind of game where you destroy universes in single moves to attack the other, so a last boss dying of a vending machine.... 🤣
The vampire wearing a beauty sheet mask got me💀
Not Geralt getting the rabid rodent fever though 😂
Never thought Sephiroth would die from a vending machine
21:00 OH DAMN IT EMILY YOU ARE BLOCKING THE SCENE 😭😭😭😭
YOOOO PERSONA 5 REFERENCE? fitting that ren died by lightning lol
Zionga!
I always wishes that "extinguish self" wasn't an option. Most deaths you have to actively try to manage but I like the element that sometimes, every now and then, something is out of my control. Most people have other sims, or at least a shower on lot that they can use to extinguish their sims. With extinguish self, there's no reason to use those options.
Good point. That interaction was only ever introduced in sims 4 and not in the prequels. For now, at least the interaction isn't autonomous iirc so you need to instruct your sims to do that.
Or if it was a lil realistic
-stop
-drop
-roll
the mold one is actually terrifying, i had no clue it was even a thing but damn its scary
Such cheerful note for the end of the year!
Haha yeah, cheerful indeed... 😬
(Thanks btw)
21:00 "oh damnit Emily, go away you're blocking the scene!" Had me dead 🤣😭💀
I'm surprised none of the violent mods (Extreme Violence, Path of Legends) have made use of some of the deaths here. The laughter death would be perfect for something like Joker Gas, especially when mixed with the Stink Capsule's functionality
I could've sworn rocket crashes were an actual death at one point. Kinda shame that they're not tho
Wow! I never knew about the death by urban legend, or the beetle death ones. Thank you for making this video.
I love that in this video, one of the very first things every ghost does is DANCE!! XD "I died horribly." (very next scene) "LET'S BOOGIE!"
--Aww, the fact that the sauna-oofed Sims break the sauna is kinda sweet...because it means that the next Sim CAN'T autonomously die from it like they did!
--DAAAAAMMMMNNN, Katrina Caliente just sauntering by while your vampire scorched to a crisp right in front of her, was COLD. Wow, lady.
--NOOoooooo I dun wanna watch the pixel kitty die again... :( :( :( On the other hand, my main Sims family was then able to adopt their ghost kitty right back. :)
--Lol at Geraint being like "What kind of contraption am I looking at?" when you told him to research Rabid Rodent Fever on the computer. XD
--Dude, the Motherplant does not fool AROUND! That death animation contains smacking around just for fun, rubbing tendrils over where the stomach would be like "Yum!"...
--The Freezing-death ghosts...I found out by accident that if you do stuff around them they do not like, they may just freeze your entire household. One time I had a Sim flirting with her current husband in front of the ghost of her old one, who had frozen to death mysteriously ;) in an outdoor swimming pool in winter, and I realised that every time she did something especially romantic with the new guy, EVERYBODY STARTED COMPLAINING OF COLD. Everybody. The heat was on and functioning. The ice ghost was just PISSED.
Dude, it's literally "until DEATH do us part". She's allowed to move on now! :P
(Even better, this was all happening during Winterfest, so THAT kinda kicked the holiday in the pants...)
Yes, this was the same family that has a ghost cat.
--Death by Flowers: I love the Sim who gave the Death Flowers' reaction to the elder Sim dying in front of them, was to....change their clothes. what.
--Heh, the ghost from the previous "Death by Research" ghost is the one taking care of the broken Servo. Nice. (Also aww, she was sad after he blew up...)
--I think all the animal-related deaths from Cottage Living are perfectly justified. You were repeatedly mean to an animal on PURPOSE, you jerk.
--God, the shadow hand from the "Death by Urban Myth" one reminds me of when shadow hands DRAG YOU INTO THE UNDERWORLD in Don't Starve...
--The Stink Prank one seems like another case of "You brought this on yourself, buddy-boy."
--Lol at the ghost horse going through the wall like "WAZZUP". XD
--Last but not least, the Death by Mold one is SERIOUSLY messed up and gross. Like, wow. I agree with the person saying "We can't have burglars, but THIS is okay?!"
your one of my fav youtubers! ❤
ZUKO SEASON 1 AND GERALT SIMS 😍😍😍
I heard that the rocket ship crash could cause your Sim to catch on fire, so I always viewed that as a death by fire rather than by rocket ship specifically.
Will you be making videos on extra features from Growing Together and Horse Ranch?
And could you make one on cross gameplay with infants and other packs like you did for toddlers?
1:37 Seemed they didn’t care of death just happy, saying goodbye, etc.
Bc if I’m not mistaking “Sul Sul” means goodbye in sims
21:00 WHY IS NOBODY GONNA TALK ABT THIS PART 💀
person; *dies*
ghost person; *immediately begins flossing*
Yesss we missed you Abi!! Or should I say, Dr. Abi now 😌
Death: My job is never fun. But someone has to do it.
Imagine dying just because you were too embarrassed,too mad,or too playful😭
seeing sephiroth get crushed to death by a vending machine was hilarious to me, thank you 😂
The fact the final death was Emily is the icing!
Death by drowning in the ocean had me laugh so hard 😆The little floating urn and the grim reaper with divinggoggles on! oml!🤣
You are one of my favorite simmers, Abi! 💜
Thanks for the kind words man. Really appreciate it 🥺
While I don't have hydrophobia like the death by drowning ghost, I do have thalassaphobia, or the fear of deep water.
I wish they showed the netherworld,i wonder what it looks like
Among those deaths, the hysterical one seems to trigger easily in the game. Maybe because most of my sims love to laugh hahaha. Anyway nice content kak abi!!
I made an entire building just to cause that kind of death and it hasn’t happened in my game. You can find it in the gallery if you type “happiest place on earth” (by Dra.Alienn). Let’s see if it kills your sims
WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THE DEATH OF FLYS?! THAT WAS SO SCARY 🪰
They did
Graystillplays discovered sims are very flammable lol so death by fire is one of the most common
Hence another reason why cottage living and seasons are the best packs with 4 death types. But cottage living is still the best.
cottage living has rabbits, so of course it is the best
26:21 There's a modded Lucina sim? And she got screwed over by rabbits? Jesus, that's rough...
I had no idea there were this many kinds of deaths. Mine only ever die of old age or the occasional fire. :(
ngl kinda like the idea of making a household where its 1 sim who is a medium and all the other sims are ghosts with various different deaths and put em all in a haunted house
Me thinking how i want 6 of those expansion pack , because those are some very cool deaths.😂 you just made me so interested in strangerville and many others! I just found you channel and i really like the simple explanation you do for every death and ghost!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
@@onlyabidoang you got me interested in the university one because i want robots.
THABK YOU i’ve been waiting for someone to post a updated version
Love the game/anime references!!
Vlad once showed up at my sim's house in the middle of the night and tried to drink her blood, so I went into manage worlds, took control of Vlad, and forced him to have a bonfire in the middle of the day on one of the beaches in Sulani.
I don't know why but the cats and dogs death gets me everytime! And yes I have the pack installed but I can't give my sims pets anymore cause Im the one ending up sadder then my sims. 😢😅
You can disable pet aging!! It’s a feature that I always have on cause I can’t handle my sims pets dying 😭
Feed them the ambrosia treat they will be revived then feed them the age down treat
The way the lady just walked by so calmly as the vampire died on number 15
The ghosts dancing 😭
6:12 My teenage sim died because of a meteorite. I had them run inside the house the moment I saw the buff, but the second it went out they were outside again.
Not only they died in front of their twin, it was their little brother's birthday.
Jesus Christ that’s bad luck
Did I See A Sim Of Zuko
I wish that animal deaths were the same as how they are in TS3 because when Grim came to take them he always played with them one last time 🥺
