Fright
A frightened Sim in The Sims 2
In The Sims and The Sims 2, Sims can be frightened by a ghost, or by opening a vampire's coffin while a vampire is inside.[TS2:NL]
Upon being frightened, the Sim will jump in the air, fall back down, and their needs will drop. If their needs drop too low, they will check their pulse, and when they realize they don't have one, they will collapse and die.[TS2]
Children can be frightened in this way, but cannot die as a result; instead, they will wet themselves or faint. The ghost of a Sim who died of fright will have a pink tint. The ghost of a Sim who died of a vampire coffin scare will have a pale blue tint.
In The Sims 2, if a Sim's hunger bar reaches zero when being frightened by a ghost, they may alternatively die of starvation.
The only Sims who canonically died of fright is Rainelle Neengia.
