Sim wont die of old age - problem now solved

<< < (2/2)

rohina:
I had that happen in my email family - horrible Ericka took an extra day to die. I think if the sim misses the Grimmy appointment, sometimes it takes until 6pm the next day to sort itself out.

J. M. Pescado:
Quirk: Sims cannot die while sitting. If a sim happens to thus be seated at the top of the hour, he will not die and his death will be postponed to the next hour. This can actually persist indefinitely!

Kyna:
I knew that.

Sitting sims who are overdue for death don't lose their queue either.  They keep on poweridling, reading, or whatever they were doing.

In my case Morty was standing (training charisma at a mirror).  His queue dropped out every hour as if the death transition was going to take place ... then nothing.  That grim reaper is a tease, building my hopes up every hour then not turning up.

As I already posted moving them elsewhere fixed it.  But it wasn't that he was sitting down because (a) he wasn't; (b) his queue wasn't dropping out; and (c) I'm familiar with that one, have seen it many times, and have been known to abuse it so that other sims don't go spiralling into aspiration failure after the death, or maybe to make sure they do, depending on who they are :evil grin:
