Poll: How do you feel about accidental deaths in the Sims 2?
Khan of Wyrms:
I have to agree with many here in that accidental death seems very rare indeed, and even intentional death can be very difficult to accomplish sometimes. Even still, with a certain reward object, death is only a bin where sims go to await revival, so what harm is done? I could not answer the poll because I could handle more accidental death but only if the means were not completely bogus. Considering MaxisEA's track record I don't believe this is possible. So if an answer like, "Yes, no, maybe?" could be added then perhaps I could cast a vote.
In all I have to say that death is handled reasonably well compared to other issues. For myself, having a sim possibly die in flames is a small consideration compared to the annoyance of having one hardly able to look at a stove without it bursting into flame, regardless of cooking skill. Or how about having one dash from the sidewalk to the back corner of a large community lot just so she could slap the bejeezus out of some dude who flirted with her once? Or what about the joker who just polished off a cup of joe standing right next to a dishwasher and a sink, yet for some reason he finds it necessary to march to the other side of the house, down two flights of stairs, just so he can put the empty 'coffee' cup on a 'coffee' table? And what of this gem, because their fun meter is basically maxed it seems like a good idea to turn the TV on and off repeatedly until it explodes?
Death in TS2...no, it doesn't bother me much...sometimes they deserve no less.

I can't stand accidental deaths--especially when I was a noob and didn't know about InSIM or Sim PE. It was rare in my game--one family when I was a noob and didn't know you had to have a fire alarm by the fireplace-- one Uni townie got stuck to the pinball machine (error in machine) I thought everyone had gone home(had to force error on the Sim that was asked to join before he was the next victim. But Season's is the worst for accidental deaths. I had a Sim at the Crypt night club catching up on friends and I forgot that I had put a couple hot tubs on the patio-- well, I had a headache and had the sound off--I went to the back of the building to find a Sim that needed to talk to my Sim and Grimmy was there--I summoned a close friend over to plead and he won but upon further inspection, I found 4 other graves there. Wow, can't play with the sound off--I guess.

You need to get Pescado's warmth fix mod from here (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=7708.0) to keep sims from spontaneously combusting while in the hot tub.

Actually the age range I want more random deaths for is teens to elder. But given the choices at hand I chose teen to 35.
I would like to have an increase in accidental deaths that were not caused by me. If they could autonomously go look at clouds or stars, for instance; Actually there are a lot of ways that sims can die accidentally... but they don't usually do those things autonomously.
I still want a plague that has a random chance of turning into an incurable pneumonia no matter how hard you baby the afflicted sim.
I also want a reasonably simple way of killing specific townies without having to spend a month waiting for them to die of starvation in a box.
More random dying!

I have that but the deaths were from lightning. They stay in that tub so long that if they get hit by lightning--they will die. Later, I put a covering over the tub so it won't happen again.
