Give Birth and Drop Dead
Ancient Sim:
Things are getting even weirder in Pleasantview now and I think maybe the end is near ...
I posted recently about the almost $6m Simoleans that a moving-in Sim brought and mentioned that one of her housemates on campus, Allegra Gorey, couldn't move out after graduating and so I moved her in along with this insanely rich Sim. I then moved her straight out into her own place. Once there, for some reason she was unable to wear the new clothes she'd bought. Turned out they were YA clothes and she had an adult body. Similarly, when she got a job, her college details were in the panel instead of her job ones (this happened to another Sim who had 'issues' moving out). I went into SimPE and unticked her "On Campus" token and she was OK ... or so I thought.
She invited Castor Nova over and had her very first woo-hoo. No precautions were taken and she became pregnant. Castor was living with Brittany Upsnott (both of them changed to Romance), but left her to move in with Allegra the day the baby was due. Castor was asleep when Allegra was giving birth. After the baby was born, she played with him then put him in his cot. As soon as she'd done this, she clutched at her throat and died. She had the 'flu, but apart from hygiene her stats were fine. I reckon she died because the game had no idea how old she was. I woke Castor up, but he couldn't plead for her as the Reaper had his back to him and there was no way to pass him as he was standing in a doorway with Allegra's body in front of him. Pity, I liked Allegra, but I'm not cheating to bring her back so she'll just have to stay dead. Poor baby though, so far his one and only memory is of the death of his mother.
What is even more puzzling (and makes me wonder what is going on) is that Allegra doesn't have a normal death token. She has one 'owned by' Gunther Goth (in the same way illness tokens are owned). I don't know what difference this is likely to make if I leave it, or whether I should change it. Seems like poor Allegra was doomed from the moment she graduated.
Bane~Child:
By chance did Allegra have same or close spelling of a name in common with any other Sims, especially dead ones?
fff:
I've heard of this choking death happening before, it only seems to affect pregnant Sims. There were reports about this happening months ago, when the game was still fairly new-ish, so I don't know that it's anything to do with your neighbourhood turning into a BFBVFS...
veilchen:
I swear Ancient, your Pleasantville is becoming just about as interesting as your articles, only in a different, american soap-operish way.
However, I read somewhere here in the forum that tokens not belonging to a particular sim are quite normal, and, according to JM, should not be deleted under any circumstances. Brynne was talking about it, she said she deleted tokens because they did not belong to that particular sim. JM, in no uncertain terms, advised her not to do that, as it would mess up her game. I'll dig it up tomorrow, right now I'm too tired (bed time :D)
Klapaucius is right, the choking death is an affliction that happens to pregnant sims, and its not uncommon.
Ancient Sim:
Yes, I know about pregnant Sims and the choking death, but that's supposed to be if they go to a community lot. I'd played Allegra straight through from conception to delivery and she hadn't been anywhere. She'd just got out of bed fully energised as well, so hadn't been wandering around getting tired. I suppose it was the combination of 'flu and pregnancy that got her, although I've had that with quite a few Sims. Just seems odd really, with her being a semi-adult and not being able to move off campus and everything. Somehow I just don't think she was ever meant to be an adult. Must have been her destiny. Anyway, Castor soon got over it. He took his son and went back to Brittany Upsnott and she's just had his kid now. Should be fun and games with those two. Allegra's son has 10 in Nice, whereas Brittany's only has 1, plus the nice one is extremely shy & serious and the nasty one is extremely outgoing & playful. Can't see them getting on very well.

Not sure what you mean by this? Allegra is a Maxis-made Sim, she was one of the Bright household on campus. So no, no one else has a similar name.

I read that thread, but normally this doesn't happen with death tokens, only disease & transport ones that I've seen. Normally a death token isn't owned by anybody, it just has those lines (--- I think). Maybe Gunther Goth possessed her and caused her death. You can never tell with those Goths. Strange lot.
