User blog comment:LostInRiverview/The Sims turns 12!/@comment-1819613-20120204115745

My earliest memory of The Sims made me NEVER, but NEVER kill my Sims again. It was in TS1, and it was my family (me, my parents and my sisters) living in 2 Sim Lane. One day, my Sim-mother was cooking dinner and a fire started. I got super scared (because I was only six at the time) and called for my sisters to help. They did what they could, but my Sim-mother and my Sim-older sister died in that fire, leaving only me, my father and my sister. We didn't save the game, but it made me become super cautious about cooking (and they all started eating salads).
