The scarecrow
phyllis_p:
I'm curious about the animated snowman as well. I've never seen it -- though I've seen the "evil" snowman made by some of my grumpier Sims. I'll have to try viewing the scarecrow more -- I'd like to see the animation.
I've been playing Sims ever since Livin' Large came out (back when), and between TS1 and TS2 I've only had one accidental death. I left my first TS1 family alone for a few minutes while I took a potty break, and came back to find the husband burned to death from a kitchen fire -- I was too new to the game to realize the need for smoke detectors and the desirability of cooking skills. I exited without saving, and have never left the little folks alone again.
Actually, I did have a Secret Society member eaten by a cow plant recently -- I was trying to get my Sim over there to feed it, but wasn't fast enough. I resurrected the poor thing and put her in a dorm.
I have tried desperately to get various Knowledge sims electrocuted so I could fulfill their want of being brought back from the dead, but have never been successful even after multiple successive electrocutions. I once tried to let Loki Beaker die through illness in order to advance a story line, but he kept getting better. I changed the story line. All my Sims die of old age -- it's just the way of things.
Actually, when talk of TS2 first started, I wasn't sure I would buy it. I was in my mid/late 40s -- I'll be 51 this year, for those who care -- and I had seen enough of my elderly relatives die, and I was suffering impending empty nest as my children grew up. I liked the fact that my Sims were immortal and the little Sim children remained forever children. However, addict that I am, I bought the game and have never regretted it. I've come to enjoy seeing my Sim children grow up and establish lives of their own -- much as my own children are doing now -- and if I want to keep an elder around, the elixir of life is available. Inevitably, though, I allow them to go out with hula girls and a Mai Tai in hand -- perhaps thinking of it like that is helping me come to terms with my own inevitable demise ;D
So ... how about the scarecrow, eh? :D

That's such a fabulously funny piece of bathos. If I hadn't seen it I wouldn't now be digging soggy cake crumbs out of my keyboard. ::)

Oh what a letdown.
Put the scarecrow on a lot. Had the wifey sim look at it a lot. It scared her. She laughed and went back to talking to the trees.

It may be like a ghost scare -- it's full effect depends on the personality and motive level of the scared sim.
