question about the death of a Chosen sim, when the family wasn't being played
J. M. Pescado:
Yes, but having them cark it from oldness is not a NEW concept, and if you don't WANT this to happen, there are many different aging modes one can resort to. Besides, by the time they're elders, they look so miserable and decrepit that dying off is really better for them. If I looked like that, I'd probably keel over and die at parties, too. Fortunately for you people, *I* have a beefy arm and won't be crushed to death by my computer anytime soon, and look nothing like sim-elders.

Minonda, the death of an elder is not a consequence of a fix number of days, but the lifespan can be increased by gaming factors,
Thanks, edalbformat, but I don't really mind that she died, I was just curious about why it happened offstage. In fact I couldn't wait for her to die because I didn't like her, but I didn't kill her myself because I didn't want to cause her family unhappiness that was my doing. Generally speaking I find elders a bore and am happy when they die, although in TS3 they are more interesting because they can spend time gardening, fishing and collecting. In TS2, until the ability to garden and fish was in the game, they were a complete bore.

Have you installed the swesome mod? You won't feel that way if you install the mod. For me, with the addition of the awesome mod, I am the one driving the story. When I stop playing a family for a while and then begin playing them again, things are basically as they were when I left them, except that their food is spoiled and one of them is off talking to someone in town. If you haven't installed the mod, you should, because you will feel like you're playings sims the way you used to.
I've been playing with AwesomeMod, but I can't agree that it makes TS3 feel like TS2. I can hardly bring myself to play TS3, but I still love TS2.

My philosophy is that TS3 is a different game, and thus is meant to be played differently. I don't try to play it like TS2 and I'm pretty happy with it. It's easier to get disconnected from the neighbourhood, true, but it's not a given.

For me it's what I want. When I come back to a family I haven't played in a while, most things are pretty much as they were when I left, as opposed to the way it was before I installed the mod. Because I didn't realize what story progression would do, I missed out on one of my first TS3 sim's adult life. I went back to her house, not realizing that she had already become an adult a while ago. After playing her for 2 sim days, she suddenly became an old woman. What a waste. Another of my new sims had two daughters by miraculous conception by the time I went back to her. That's the stuff I hate about TS3 and that doesn't happen with the awesome mod. Maybe there are things going on that I haven't noticed, but playing TS3 with the awesome mod is the only way I will play this game.
