Though if you're saying in general about the poll, yeah, it's pretty clear
Yeah. :)

In theory, I like the idea of more deaths, but not so much the freaky accidental deaths, because more types of 'normal' death would make the game more realistic, IMO. In practise, however, the sim-deaths kind of throw me for a loop. Even when I know that a sim is old and about to keel over, it somehow always takes me by surprise and makes me a little bit sad, especially if it's a sim that I created and have gotten attached to. On the other hand, when I'm playing Brandi Broke as a black widow, or killing off random sims in order to populate the graveyard, so that my knowledge sims can actually fulfill their 'see a ghost' want, I don't feel too bad about it, because a) it was planned, and b) I didn't get very attached to him/her/them, since c) see examples a and b. :P

Having seen my very first Death by Lightning this evening, I can say things are just spiffy on the ratio. Heck, the first girl got zapped in the hot tub, got out, and got nailed a second time, then died. Yahoo!
The other dormie got nailed in the tub, got out, and promptly wet herself.

The very first time I fired up Sims 2 I killed my first sim. She starved to death. No accidental deaths since then, though. When my neighborhoods get big I do a dice roll, too. And when I used to run a medieval neighborhood I would roll after birth to see if the mother lived, and if someone got sick I roll for that sim, and every sim they came into contact with before I got them into bed. As for instant death, I just InSIM them.

I tend to restart my game so often that accidental deaths seldom get to happen. I also don't get too attached to my sims so I have induced just about every death at least once. I used the zombie apocalypse in conjunction with a working gun recently and offed many sims... then started a new 'hood.
But back when I played one hood and actually had several house and families going I used the Flamingo of Doom http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=35518 and had a blast with it. I wish it would get updated and have it be autonomous with maybe a chance of something nice happening too.
For reference I'm 37 but most of the deaths that have affected me IRL occurred when I was young.. starting with my father dying when I was 7.
