Get Over It, Already!
« on: 2007 March 18, 09:10:52 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I wish Sims wouldn't mourn so long. I understand that it is very sad that your father just died, but my sim stood and sobbed for three straight sim hours, ignoring all my commands, even the macro commands. You are wasting my time, Damia Ai, and your baby is hungry, and I want you to go garden. Hop to it!

Does anyone else have trouble with sorrow-ridden sims ignoring commands?

Yes. It is a source of supreme annoyance that in my family would earn you a death by beating. And now you've motivated me to hunt it down and kill it. I find sim death reactions to be obnoxious in general, as they fail to react appropriately to the event, instead whining about it in a way that, in my family, would mean the next death would be YOURS.

Oh, it annoys me so badly. Seriously, Damia is my second gen Legacy, and when the cats died? Didn't bat an eye. Her mother died? One sniffle, then she was fine. Her father dies? The world ends. Plus, she was blocking the door to her son's room, where he desperately needed to sleep, and she wouldn't budge! Just kept sobbing. *resists the urge to kill her*

I can't wait for the fix Cheesy

There is hope for you yet, Emma, as pathetic as you are.

Anyway, next time you see this obnoxious activity, someone force an error and send the log.

If you play the Legacy, don't let the sims' relations on the lot to pass 35-40 daily. That's enough for a friendly interactions. Then you will save all the whinning.
Damia had for sure high relations with her father, that's why she was so sad. It's easy to do it, occupying Damia  with chores, without permitting  her autonomous interactions with her relatives.

Ha, just by meal interactions and such, they're all 100/100. Plus, her dad was a popularity sim with a LTW of 20 best friends. Every inhouse best friend was one less person he has to call.

It irritates me that they will sob about it for ever, but if it's their spouse who dies the wants immediately roll up a new want to get married, especially Wealth sims. Jeez, at least wait until the body's cold!

As soon as I saw the title of this thread I knew what it had to be about.  I was just saying this last night to Panther Pink.  His mother had died a few sim days ago (weeks ago in my time) but was still showing on the family splash screen. 

"Bring out your dead" wasn't working, so I used the Summoner from the InSim and she went away.  Panther cried for hours, constantly dropping things out of queue, and I just kept telling him, "She's been dead for days!  Get over it, already!"  And, yes, I went through the same constant sobbing when she had actually died a few days before, so it was a repeat performance.

Really, they can mourn with just a sigh as far as I'm concerned.  This crying at the top of their "lungs" gets ridiculous, though.  And not constantly.  Do one or two things, when they have a second or two that they're not busy, then they can hang their head and sigh.  That, I could handle.

Until the Resurrection was available in the game, and there wasn't the TJ's Carreer Rewards hack, I passed the same experience. It was terrible feeling.

I overcomed it, by changing in the SimPe the relations between the dead sim and his family members and best friends to 30/30. The mourn stopped almost immediately.

Now I resurrect all my elders, and wait for the hood to blow up. 400 sims, and all is well, touch wood...at least no one dies.

Which is too danm bad, really. I think it would be cool to have a police detective come to the house, have CSI swarming around the body, and actually haul away another sim if there's murder involved. And then they could have a REAL funeral, with mourners and coffins and black clothing...and THEN all the fuss would be over and there would be no more annoying mourning sims.

Or maybe I've been watching too many cop shows.

Oh yeah, I'd really want to have a new 'party' option on the phone - funeral! Sims that had known the deseased could make random speeches, and... Well, I don't know, but it would be awesome! I tried to have a funeral in my poverty challenge family once, with the black buffet table and everyone dressed in black but it wasn't quite right...

There's probably too much to hope for from upcoming 'Celebrations', I'm afraid...  Tongue

I create a phone group of close friends specifically to invite them over when I know a sim is going to die. Kind of like a funeral. Lots of food and juice. I don't mind the mourning, really.

That would be great if the scoring was reverse of normal parties.  Make sure all your guests are misserable in order to have a great funeral!

Oh great idea!  A wake!  Cheesy
Kinda hard to plan if it's going to be a death by plague or satellite...  Will have to wait for an old-age death.

Does asp level matter?  Even though most of my sims have very close families, they are usually gold or better when a sim dies.  I rarely see great sobbing jags for more than a few sim hours.  By morning, they're over it.

I've had "funeral parties" the last two times I tried to throw anniversary parties Cry  One or the other of the guests of honor drops dead in the middle of the festivities and it's still somehow a roofraiser.  Even the widow(er) remembers it as a great party!

What I hate about mourning is that it's invariably at the wrong time. Sims ignore the actual death completely, then hours or days later they stompinate a queue with sobbing. I wouldn't mind the Grim Reaper stompinating other actions, but no, they'll autonomously do other stupid crap like play cops n' robbers right in front of a grandfather's death scene.

Sims also seem to care more about roaches than the death of family members. Who on earth cries about bugs?

Yeah the crying over roaches has go to go. And the boo hooing over a death is totally annoying also the wake up in the middle of the night when they reach full sleep bar is also annoying. Aggh!

Oh God yes, I'd love to be able to have funerals.  Weddings and funerals, best family day out for anyone, especially if there's a fight - free food and entertainment.  Do you know, when the game was first released, there was a publicity pic with a family gathered round a hump in the ground with a headstone.  Turned out to be lie - bastard Maxis and their staged pictures, I really got my hopes up about that.  I can manage fights at the weddings but I'd love to be able to get the widow and his mistress slugging it out over the open grave.
