How long does Louis Aspir live anyway?

I've just played a 3 day cycle of the Aspirs. Louis was 108 when I started. On 3 consecutive nights he has beaten Death and kept his life. He is now 111. Does that damn genie give never-ending life? This is the first time I've ever had a sim win against Death and this is 3 times in a row.



I played them almost 10 days and Louis was still hanging around, so I used Inge's 'days left' shrub to find out what's going on.  He may not have ever-lasting life, but at that point he still had 12 days left, which would make him something like 140 by the time he actually died.  I used TJ's blender to knock 9 days off his lifespan, and after 3 more days he did  die normally.

Luis Aspir lived a long time in my game, as well--I think around 120 days. Of course, that just meant he had more time to cheat on resurrected Noriko, which he did frequently.

Zazazu:
Terrence Rowe beat Death about six times, which is pretty darned lucky because I believe the odds were only 10% the last couple of times. After three times, I let him drink a bottle of elixir in between, since I figured Death would be getting pretty miffed about coming over all the time and getting nothing for his trouble. After six, I set his days left to 5,000. I figured Death would be right sick of him. Though I do imagine that he takes more pleasure in taking Terrence's relatives and pets away.

Eventually I may allow him to be offed. I'm not sure. I have my own idea story-wise of why he was winning, and I'd like to work that in. But at the same point, I've had this sim around for four/five generations of a prosperity-type 'hood. I've become accustomed to his face.

How do you get the chance to even beat death?  My Sims never get a chance.  Death comes and takes them unless a child or spouse pleads for them.  The only Sim I've ever experienced doing anything at all was Brandi Broke.  When death came for her she punched him and screamed at him.  I had never seen that before ever.

MaryH:
When Death comes, you have to have someone nearby that has a really good relationship with the "deceased to be", and they have to plead with Grimmy to spare that sim's life.
Then Grimmy will toss the dice, and usually (but not always) the pleader has even odds of beating death. Of course I just have NL, so the "deceased-to-be" doesn't turn into a zombie, but whatever.
The sim to be taken usually doesn't have a chance in hell for pleading. They have to have someone else do it for them.
