Game guide:Killing Sims

Killing Sims is usually something that Evil Simmers love to do. Here is a walkthrough with the best strategy tips. Which one will you choose?

Starvation
A cheap and common method, since every Sim needs to be fed constantly. To make death by Starvation come true, just box a Sim into a room without doors or any other way for them to get out. The Sim will get hungry by that time and will start complaining, as other motives will fall as well. As the Sim approaches death, he may be visited, if graves present, by ghosts in the lot. Once he passes out, the Grim Reaper will appear. The cons with this method is that it is slow and painful, so if you are sensitive, you may want to turn the camera somewhere else.

Fire
Fire is an interesting, fast and sure method to kill a Sim. Box a Sim into a 4x4 room without exit, and add a fireplace and a loveseat. Have the Sim light the fireplace and then sit in the loveseat, and add tables in front of the Sim to prevent him from standing up. Then fill any other space in the room with carpets and end tables. They should catch on fire and the Sim will as well. After that, the Grim Reaper will appear. This method is however expensive and if your budget is poor you should pick something else.

Drowning
Drowning is the most sure method and the simplest of all. To achieve this, create a 3x3 (or bigger) pool and make a Sim dive in. Then wait until all their motives drop down and they will eventually drown. The Grim Reaper will not appear. This method is probably the best of all, but not the most exciting.

Electrocution
To electrocute a Sim easily and a fast, buy a flat screen TV and make sure your Sim has no Mechanical skill points. Wait until it breaks by extended use, then command the Sim to repair it. The Sim should die instantly and the Grim Reaper will appear. This is the fastest method of all, but it is an expensive one as well.

Guinea Pig Disease
A very interesting and dramatic method. Buy a Guinea Pig Cage with a Guinea Pig and leave the Guinea Pig neglected. Then have the Sim play with the Guinea Pig and they should get the disease. Let your Sim do frustrating and hard activities, and the Sim shall die. The Grim Reaper will appear. Beware with this method however, since this disease is contagious.

Fire Storm
The most exciting method of all the before. This can kill up to 12 Sims at once. Create a designated zone. If it is smaller than your lot, close it with walls, if it is just as big as your lot, it is not necessary. Cover the hole designated zone with caprets, but leave 2 tiles left out. On one of the two tiles add a rocket launcher. Then have one of the Sims in the designated area launch a rocket. The whole designated area should burn. The Grim Reaper will appear. This method is also the most expensive.

Fire
This is the most common and maybe the most well known throughout The Sims series. You can achive this one of two ways;
 * 1) Place a Sim with a low cooking skill level in a small room with no way out. Then put a stove, a fridge and chairs surrounding the stove. Have the Sim cook a meal using the stove and it should burst into flames.
 * 2) Another way is about the same basic idea except with this one you need The Sims 2: Nightlife expansion pack. Place a Sim in a small room in the middle of some chairs, then put the flame shooters available in the decor section. Place them close to the chairs and leave them acessable to the sim. Pause the game and click on each one of them and choose the option "Turn On", then press play and the room should be engulfed in flames within a couple of seconds.

The ghost appears red and smoking.

Electrocution
This is achieved by having a Sim with a low mechanical skill level fix a broken electronic near a puddle of water. (A puddle of water can be made by: your Sims peeing or having the toliet, shower or sink break.) They will be electrocuted then they will die.

In The Sims 2, electrocution causes a large drop in all of a Sim's needs. If this puts three or more of the Sim's needs at extremely low levels, he or she will die.

The ghost appears yellow.

Drowning
Place your Sim in a pool then take out the ladders, they will soon drown.

The ghost appears blue and leaves puddles when it comes out at night.

Starvation
Place your Sim in a room and take out any doors, when their hunger goes all the way down. You can also just turn off "free will".

The ghost appears white and often uses the fridge, taking food with it. ghosts get angry if there is no fridge on the lot or if the fridge is empty.

Fright
You have to have a graveyard in your house. At night when the ghosts are out have your Sim go out and it is possible that they will get scared and his/her motives fall drastically. If the critical needs, (hunger, energy, etc.) fall far enough, the Sim will die.

(Also if The Sims 2: Nightlife is owned and a Sim opens a casket with a vampire in it they may die of Fright. This could possibly count as a new type of death:  Death By Vampire.)

The ghost appears pink.

Flies
Leave dirty dishes all over the house your Sim will eventually be engulfed in a swarm of flies.

The ghost appears purple

Cowplant
Get the Cowplant Career reward and put it in your house, have your Sim click on it and choose the option "Grab Cake".

The ghost appears light green. If the cowplant is still there, the Sim will taunt it with a slab of meat. Additionally, if someone drank the Sim's life essence, the ghost will be angry at that Sim.

Hail (Need Seasons)
Have your Sim stand out in a hail storm when their needs are low.

The ghost will be red and when angry will have hail coming out of them.

Disease
Don't cure your sim's illness for 9-10 days.

The ghost appears green. Occasionally, these ghosts will grasp their throat and start coughing, re-enacting their death.

Lightning (Need Seasons)
Leave your sims out in a thunderstorm for a long time, better chance if the Sim is using a hot tub or pool. If lightning were to hit a Sim and his or her needs are low, that Sim will die.

The ghost will be yellow with lightning bolts inside of them.

Vampire Death (Need Nightlife)
Have your Vampire Sim stand out in the light for to long.

The ghost appears white and is still a vampire.

Satellite
Click on the ground outside and choose the option "Watch Clouds" at noon or "Stargaze" at night. Leave them there for a couple of hours, a satellite will then fall out of the sky, crushing your Sim.

The ghost appears orange and smoking.

(This is not the best method, since it happens really rarely.)

Rally Forth! (Need Open for Business)
Have your Sim use the Rally Forth! business perk when their needs are low. They will eventually choke from shouting into the Rally Forth megaphone and die.

The ghost appears golden with megaphone.

Wishing Well (Need Seasons)
If a Sim wishes for money from the wishing well and it fails, a sack of only §50 will fall on his/her head, and if their needs are too low, they will die.

The ghost's appearance is like a ghost who died from starvation.

Murphy Bed Crush (Need Apartment Life)
Have your Sim open the bed, if a Sim has less than 5 body skill and -70 or less mood, there is a 5% chance that it will fall on and crush the Sim, killing him/her.

The ghost will avoid the bed that killed them.

Old Age
Wait until the end of their elder bar is full.

The ghost will be a purpleish-gray.

Starvation
A quite easy way to kill your Sims is by starving them. To do that, create a small room, usually 5x5 or 4x4, and remove a single wall section. Then make the Sim get inside the room. Close the room with a wall again. After that, just wait some hours and the Sim will die due to starvation! The ghost will be purple and the grave will have a fork and knife mark on it. This method is good if you don't like spending your Sims' money, but if you really want a faster method, don't do that. It can also be achieved by cheating. Type Ctrl+Shift+C, and then type in the console window that appears testingCheatsEnabled true, exactly like that. Then drag+click the Hunger need bar full way down. The Sim should die instantly.

Drowning
This is a very fast method to kill your Sims! To do that, simply, create a small pool, usually around 3x3 or 4x4, and make a Sim enter into the pool. Then build walls around it. Sims then will swim for some hours, until they will get the Drowning moodlet, and after 40 minutes in-game pass, the Sim will drown. The Sim will probably drown faster if it has the Fatigued moodlet. The ghost will be blue and the grave will have a drowning Sim symbol on it. This method is good in case you want a very fast way to kill your Sims, but it can cost a lot simoleons.

Alternatively, if you do not want to spend that much time, you can have the Sim work out and when the Sim has the fatigued moodlet, make the Sim swim, the Sim will die in 30 minutes, game time. You will have to block the way out of the pool here as well

Electrocution
Electrocuting Sims is a very interesting way to kill them! Several methods have been suggested. One of them includes creating a Sim with the Technophobe trait, then make the Sim sabotage a TV placed on tiles. After that, the player must make the Sim pee on the tiles, and then making the Sim repair the TV with low skill on the resulting puddle. This will cause electrocution at the first time. At the second time, the Sim will die. This is a good method in case you enjoy killing your Sims very slowly and painfully, but if you are worried about how much simoleons you'll spend, this isn't your method.

Fire
Fire is a painful disaster in The Sims series, and possibly the best-known cause of death. To trigger death by fire, make a Sim prepare waffles. Wait until the Sim bakes them but not fully or just wait until you see that its cooking. Now, create a small room, usually 3x3 or 2x3, remove a wall section and make the Sim enter. Now add that wall section again, so that the Sim is trapped into the room. Move the oven into the room,. Add loads of chairs to block the Sim's way to the oven and spread the fire. The fire will start when you see some kind of black smoke. Wait until it gets to the Sim. When the fire gets to him/her, he/she will get "On Fire" moodlet, and after and hour or so, the Sim will die. The ghost will be red and the grave will have a fire mark on it. This is a good and interesting method to kill a Sim, especially for storytellers, but it can end up to be a very expensive way of killing.

There's a method that works in The Sims 2 go to Buy Mode, and then buy a proffesional BBQ and then pick a sim who has no skill in cooking click on the BBQ then let them cook something the BBQ will set on fire , shortly your sim will die.

You can also place a rug under the fireplace, and start the fire in the stove. That will cause a fire to start. You can then have the Sim get next to the flames and catch fire. You can also have the Sim poke the fire, eventually causing the Sim to catch on fire.

Even starting up a grill inside a room, and then canceling the grilling process can result in a deadly fire.

Old Age
Probably the cheapest method of all (free!). To kill a Sim by old age, simply wait until their lifespan finishes. The ghost will be white and the grave will have an hourglass mark on it. To trigger that by cheating, type Ctrl+Shift+C, then type in the console window that appears testingcheatsenabled true, exactly like that. Then Shift+Click the Sim, then choose "Trigger Age Transition", as many times as needed until the Sim dies. This method costs nothing, but really takes loads of time and patience.

Mummy Curse
This is only possible with World Adventures installed. Killing a Sim by mummy's curse is very difficult, but it is still very fun to watch. To kill a Sim by the mummy's curse, make them go to Al Simhara, Egypt, where you can find loads of mummies. If you are (un)lucky enough, your Sim will be cursed. After 14 days (2 weeks) without been cured, your Sim will die. The ghost will be gray and there will be a mummy mark on the grave. This is a good method for players who love stories about ancient history and storytellers who want to spice up their story, but it is very difficult to achieve.

Remember, a Sarcophagus will only spawn a mummy once. It is also difficult for Sims with a high Athletic or Martial Arts skill to die this way, as they will usually defeat the mummy, and therefore will not become cursed.

Meteor
This is only possible with Ambitions installed. The chances of being hit by a meteor are 4% when using the telescope outdoors, 2% when just using a random object outdoors, and 1% when just walking down the street. The ghost will be orange and the grave will have a falling meteor mark on it. Before a meteor lands ominous music will play and and a message will appear saying the Sim is wondering why it got so dark. There is an option to make the Sim move out of the way before the meteor lands or leave them to their doom. This method is definitely the best for storytellers, but it happens just very randomly and cannot be triggered.

With the buydebug cheat a germinator can be bought and placed in the desired location, but while this should increase the probability of a Sim being clashed by a meteor, it doesn't seem to have any impact.

Thirst
This is only possible with Late Night installed.This is similar to Starvation above, but with vampires they will have the thirst need instead of the hunger one.Follow the same steps as above, and you'll get this right! If you leave your vampire to thirst (starving) first your vampire will turn into ashes and die.The ghost of the vampire will be black with a red pulsing heart and the grave will have a bat mark on it.This is one beautiful methods to use ever, but as explained above, sadly a time wasting one. As above in the death by hunger section, you can enter testingcheatsenabled true and drag the thirst need to empty as a quick way to kill a vampire. Another quick way is to get your vampire in the sun for a long time, and they will get the 'Too Much Sun' moodlet. While active, your Sim's thirst will plummet dramatically. Just lock them in a room without a roof after getting the moodlet and wait, death soon follows. This method will only work with Vampire Sims, and a normal Sim will die by Starvation instead.
