23 Ways To Kill Your Sims, While Waiting For Sims 3…

For all my fellow SIMS fans, SIMS 3 is soon to be released – June 2nd, its supposed to be on the shelves!! I’m extremely curious to see what they’ve come up with, and cannot wait to get my hands on it.

In the meantime, if you’re as bored with the old SIMS as me, here are some ways to kill your SIMS…

Electrocution. Really too random to be an effective murder tool. If a Sim with no Mechanical points attempts to repair an appliance, the result is almost always fatal. There is also a 1% chance of electrocution while changing a light bulb, regardless of Mechanical skill. This death can only affect family members, not neighbours or most NPC’s. Sims can also be electrocuted if they attempt to use an electric appliance while they are standing in water. This CAN kill neighbours and NPC’s.

Guinea Pig Disease. Again, another death that’s fairly random. If you don’t take proper care of the guinea pig, it may bite and infect your Sim with the dreaded Guinea Pig Disease. Unless steps are taken, the Sim will die from it. The disease apparently does not affect neighbors or NPC’s. The disease starts as mild cold, with minor coughing and the occasional sneeze, gradually progressing to a major illness, and eventually death. See below for cures, if you want to save your Sims for some weird reason.

Woodworkers Disease. One of the rarest deaths, continuously operating the woodworking table in a room with no windows may result in a Sim becoming ill. Cures are probably similar to those for the Guinea Pig Disease. This disease probably does not affect neighbors or NPC’s.

Spontaneous Combustion. The most extremely rare form of Sim death. I’ve only heard of this one, and never seen it. There is no known cause. The Sim just randomly bursts into flames. It is unknown if neighbors or NPC’s can suffer from this.

Slurm Overdose. The Slurm Vending Machine (It’s highly addictive!) is a download available on the Internet, it does not come with the Sims. It’s a fairly cheap vending machine, a mere $100. However, if your Sim drinks too much Slurm, he/she will double over in pain, collapse, and die. This may affect neighbors, but probably will not affect NPC’s.

Starve them. Remove all fridges, phones, anything that’s a way of getting your Sim fed. Removing the phone is important, because otherwise your Sims will keep calling for pizza (or Chinese after you have University). Your Sim will whine, cry, and yell at you for not feeding them, but ignore it. After they whine and cry for awhile, they’ll curl up into a ball and die.

Death via broken elevator.
This one took me a while to discover, as I hadn’t really made use of the extra building tools that came with the Open For Business expansion pack. The advent of elevators, however, has ‘opened new doors’ in the death arena. If you’ve got no handy mechanical Sims in your house (and are too cheap to hire a repairman), a poorly repaired elevator can send your Sim plummeting to his or her death in a quick trip to the bottom floor. Just like a bad soap opera.

Fire – rocket. You know those really cool outdoor rockets you can buy? Ever set one up inside? With lots of carpets surrounding it? And your Sim in the middle?

Burn them. Get a Sim that is bad at cooking. Buy the cheapest stove – or even better, a microwave. Cook a big dinner. Then let it burn away. For maximum effect, fill the room with wooden furniture and plants, and delete the door. Remember to remove any fire alarms, as this will automatically call the fire brigade. If all of your Sims are good cooks, buy the decoration that shoots fire. You can find it in Decorative/Misc. Simply place it adjacent to any item in the room, including your Sim.
Buy a fireplace and a heart-shaped rug. Place the rug in front of the fireplace and light a fire. Before long, the rug will catch fire. You can also buy a rug made of flowers, found in the Decorative/Misc. section

Fire Storm. The absolute most spectacular way to commit mass-murder. Simply place rugs through a room, so that the rugs overlap each other. Leave one square uncovered. Then place the model rocket launcher in the room. When someone launches a rocket, it will land in that one empty square and the entire room will ignite at once. The number of flames appearing could potentially crash a slower computer, so try not to make the fire too big. Because you can easily kill a dozen or more Sims at once, it may take the Grim Reaper several minutes to collect all the dead. This will kill anything in the room, including neighbors and NPC’s.

Drown them. Get a pool with no ladder, just a diving board. Make your Sim jump into it. They will soon drown. Or, if you have Seasons, tell them to jump into the pool; you won’t need a diving board. A relative can’t plead with the grim reaper because they can’t access the death site, so the drowned Sim has no opportunity to be revived.

Do a double whammy. Create a family of about 8 Sims and just put them on a lot. No house, nothing else and just hit that fast-forward key until the grim reaper shows up. Once everyone’s dead, exit, but do not bulldoze the lot. Place another family on the lot (feel free to build a house this time if you like). Do this often enough and you will have a lot full of urns and tombstones in no time.

Watch clouds/stargaze without a telescope. If you wait long enough, a satellite will fall down and crush your Sim.

Make them talk on the phone a long time. Each time they use the phone (not the cell phone that comes with University) there is a small chance the phone will burst into flames. This only works if they are cooking in a different room.

Scare your sim to death. After you’ve killed all of the other Sims, their ghosts may very well scare the living daylights out of your survivors.

Allow your Sim to be eaten alive by vicious bugs. Put your Sim in a narrow hallway filled with rotting food/dirty dishes. Stepping on a tile with rotten food carries a small chance that a swarm of flies will engulf your Sim.

Refuse to care for a sick Sim, and it will die from its own illness (unless that illness is morning sickness). Also, you can’t die from a cold, but colds turn into pneumonia, which can kill you.

Build a small room to trap them in (1X1 with no door should be fine). Enable the movement cheat (type “moveObjects on” exactly as it is seen here, minus the quotes, into the cheat box. The cheat box can be displayed by pressing Ctrl, Shift, and C at the same time) and, in Buy Mode or Build mode, use the Hand tool to drop your Sim into the room.

Bring up the cheat box and type “boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true”, and then hold down the shift button and click on the Sim you want to kill. Go through the menu until you see the spawn option. Click on it, then go to Rodneys death creator. A little tombstone will appear next to your Sim, click on it, and chose the way your Sim dies.

Get a Sim to use the most expensive telescope for a very long time. Every time he uses the telescope between 7 p.m. and 2 a.m. there is a 5% chance he will be abducted by aliens. Rarely, the aliens do not return him. If it is an adult male, and he is returned, he will return pregnant with an alien baby.

Download the InSimenator. This program comes with many of the methods listed above, such as “Dying of Fright”, sickness, fire, satellite, so on and so forth. There is also an option to have your sim of old age. Find it here [1]. You must register for a free account first, however.

Laganaphyllis Simnovorii. Otherwise known as a ‘Cow Plant’, the Laganaphyllis Simnovorii dangles a piece of something that looks like cake from its mouth, luring your guests into its clutches and an early death. Your Sim, meanwhile, gets to enjoy another full five days of life from the resulting elixir. You couldn’t ask for a better pet really. The Laganaphyllis Simnovorii also makes up for having to wear nothing but fig leaves once you’ve reached the top of the Natural Science career path. I thought nothing could beat the Cow Plant, until I remembered the dread…

Death Island. Are those pesky visitors always annoying you? Then here’s an easy and fun way to get rid of them! Build your dream house and add a little something extra. A Swimming Pool Moat all the way round your house. On the side the side-walk is on, place a diving board. On the side your house is on, place a ladder. This means that your visitors come along, dive into your moat and climb up on the other side to ring your doorbell. But when they leave they climb into the moat but can’t get out as there is only a diving board there. Their only option is to return to Death Island, but instead they drown or die of hunger.
