Death by Flies, the Biotech station and sickness.
jolrei:
I recently had two sims get colds/flu or something on their wedding day. I let them go to their honeymoon and do the "wedding night" thing anyway (they both had the cold anyhow) and it got worse. The female sim woke up the next morning and coughed and hacked for several sim minutes, until I got alarmed. I put them both to bed for a while and then had them do nice relaxing things until the "all clear" was indicated.
All this to say that sickness seems to be working reasonably well in my game, and I have more than the base game installed (although not all EPs).
As for death by flies, I've managed it by ensuring that there is no way for the sim to autonomously clean dishes (and naturally no maid). Once dirt piles up for a while, the flies appeared and ate the offending sim. I only tried this once, so I'm not sure if it works consistently, or if I just had luck on my side (odd sort of luck).

No worries, the recommendations are more than enough. Thanks! :)

Obviously your flies too small or too young to kill somebody.
I guess I need a mad scientist who can genetically modify them to be extra vicious. :D
About the colds, I guess I'll just have to send them out to stomp on roaches more often. ::)

I only had death by flies with piles of garbage. Other spoiled things (plate, pizza etc) never triggered it. I don't know if it is a rule set in stone or not, but it is how it worked in my game for the moment.

Excellent, I'll look into that.

Seconded. Generally, having them cook or grab chips from the fridge and then immediately dispose in a trash can, then cancel out emptying it. Or, if personality points allow, have them repeatedly kick and right the streetside trashcan. This was the only way I've ever gotten death by flies (sans the cheaty Rodney's Death Creator).
