The Mysterious Choking Death
Oddysey:
List objects with bugs. Then it can be expanded to include documentation about the bug(s) themselves, such as what happens and what triggers them, and whether it causes computer explosions.
ZephyrZodiac:
I imagine it'll be the longer of the two possible lists, though. :'(
You could do with a stickied thread which people can post their experiences with a particular object so you get a little help with all this research!

People most commonly refer to this bug as effecting pregnant sims, but it seems it can effect any sim with a disease (and the game seems to count pregnancy as a disease). I've had it happen to a little girl sim and a (non pregnant) adult male sim as well as to a couple of pregnant females. I've also had it happen before University and before adding any custom content save the alienware computer by Maxis (since that was released pretty much right with the game). It doesn't have to involve going to a community lot either but it does, in my experience, seem to happen soon after the home lot that the sim who chokes lives on is loaded.
I've read a lot of discussion about it and the best theory I've heard was that the 'sick' sim is somehow cured on another lot (a community lot or by being a guest at another lot you play) and then when you load their main lot, the game doesn't know whether they are sick or not and they just die. Now that may not be the case at all and I'm not sure how a pregnant sim gets cured, though I certainly have had pregancies that just spontaneously aborted somehow (and miscarriage is not a feature of the game so obviously it's some bug). I do know that it always seems to involve a sick and/or pregnant sim and having them on another lot and then going back and playing their main lot. I guess the safest thing to do is not go to a community lot if a sim is sick or pregnant and not save and play a different lot if you have a sick sim until they get well on their main lot.
I used to have a problem with seems getting sick as guests on lots I played from bad food, but J.M.'s no eating crap hack does help that. Also having jello around as a backup can help that since they'll always go for any good food over spoiled stuff.

Ahhh, wow, I had no idea about any of this, thanks for all the links, folks.
She was indeed one day pregnant, not showing. I was going to post that she hadn't been to a community lot, but you know, it just occured to me that she might have been! Not from her own house, but I had a couple of weddings on some community lot chapels I dowloaded, and she may have shown up. I may have even used the teleporter bush to teleport her in as a wedding guest - I'm not sure. I had 24 sim weddings in a row and it's all a blur as to who was at whose wedding. *lol*
I'll have to be extra careful from now on - no more invisi-preggos at community lot weddings! It's the only thing I use community lots for, for my poor sims who can't afford a nice wedding. Maybe I'll just get them a loan from the bank of Kaching from now on, and then money order the cash away after I've sold off the wedding deco. It's my no-cheat hood so I don't like to give them money.

All you need to have a roof raiser Wedding party is the wedding arch, and then spend lots of time socializing with your guests, making sure that you invite people who aren't already at 100 daily relationship with your sims. The game scores your party based on the average boost in your sims' STR. I have had many roof raisers this way. Make sure your sims get married before time runs out too, lol. Sell the arch before midnight for a full refund. You really don't need any other fancy, expensive stuff to get a good score, unless you just want it. You might be able to do it without the wedding arch just by proposing marriage, but you don't get the cinematics and everyone doesn't come over to watch. I've never really tried it that way.
