Give Birth and Drop Dead

Strangely enough, I had this happen without the pregnant sim eating anything at all. I was playing another house and took the inhabitant to a community lot. Playing on, I noticed the pregnant sim walk by, but I payed little attention to it, but stayed focused on the sim I was currently actively playing.
When I played the pregnant sim's lot again, she up and died on me. Not being quite as fatalistic as Ancient, I left without saving and thereby avoided the dead sim. :D
That community lot walk-by was the only out-of-the-ordinary thing that the pregnant sim did; I wonder now if that's related.
When the pregnant sim is uncontrolled, you can see her a lot of times at the community lots - it has no consequences when you enter her house.
Sometimes the simulator wants to remind you, that you have to go to a certain house (comming babies have priority), and then you can see pregnant sims pass your house, or at the community.
In Strangetown I had to perform a large circle - 8 families. So, when I heared the "lullaby melody", I left the family almost immediately, not to be stucked 3 days, and kept it to the next visit.
I went to the community with my teens, for cell phones, etc, and suddenly I saw the pregnant sim I just left (which was still invisible pregnant) with a big belly, enterring the community.
When I went to her house (on her right turn) - she indeed was invisible pregnant yet, and bumped only at that night for the first time.
So far, from the beginning of TS2, no pregnant sim has died on me a mysterious death - that's why I stick to the theory that it is connected to an uncompatible Uni hack, as written in MTS2.
Sandilou:
My preggers sims were dropping like flies pre-uni - more to do with my poor management of them than anything else, probably. I've downloaded something that includes a miscarriage if the pregnancy is poorly managed. The first happened today. I have alot to learn.
Ancient Sim:
I just had yet another death from choking on entering a lot, this time Grayson Bruenig, former mascot. I am beginning to think something or someone is trying to reduce my Sims, because something always seems to stop them being pleaded for. Ricky Cormier couldn't be because his girlfriend was at work and his daughter was too young; Allegra couldn't be because the Reaper was facing the wrong way; Grayson could be, but the Reaper won. Maybe that's the last of them - three in a row and all that. The odd thing was that Grayson had just been to a graduation party on the same Uni lot as Allegra lived in. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. I think perhaps that lot is haunted.
ZephyrZodiac:
Now I had a sim who was pregnant (very) and she kept turning up with whatever sim was at work as a visitor after work! I got fed up with it in the end and went back to her lot and she had the baby withno problems at all. I've never lost a pregnant sim, the only time one died it was pre-Uni, and was Beau's wife, but he was there and pleaded for her and everything was fine.
Oh, and I didn't have any hacks or fixes apart from the Maxis patch back then, didn't even get Inge's hacked telexcope until quite a bit later!
My guess, for what it's worth, is that maybe you have a hack or hacked object in your game which is for some unknown reason affecting your sims, and whether or not they are pregnant has actually no bearing on the problem. I don't think it can be one of JM's as I have most of them and nothing like your problem has ever happened in my game, but maybe something you don't even know is there?
garyalex:
FWIW, I've had the choking death on numerous occasions, both with and without hacks. I've never noticed any particular thing that may cause it, as some Sims have never been to a community lot (they generally tend to go maybe once in their lifetimes ... to meet new people). It got to one point with one game where I would load up the lot, and within 5 minutes of real time, she would die. After a couple of attempts, I managed to beat Grim, and she continued with her pregnancy. I think its probably a bug, but Maxi's probably define it as a feature...
