I don't think your Sim would have died from his needs going down. The hunger need can cause them to starve to death, but it takes a long time for that to happen. The other needs don't cause death, just misery. They will eventually pass out on the floor from lack of sleep, but they don't die. Unless someone has had a different experience?
Hello Pam.
I'm JeffGuy's friend, and I don't have an account on your site so he said I could use his. (he's sitting right next to me)
To tell the truth, I have actually had a Sim die from levels getting to low (and not through starvation) my sim had a lot near a graveyard, and sometimes ghosts wandered over to his house to surf the web.
Anyway, he got married and had a little boy named Jefferrey. Jefferrey grew up and was alone in the house one night when the ghosts came over.
He had the coward trait, and as soon as one walked into the living room and turned on the TV, Jefferrey fainted.
Only thing was, his body vanished, the grim reaper appeared, and a tombstone appeared in the driveway. No ghost, but his parents and his adopted sister go the Tombstone Moodlet.
And sometimes he comes over to the house, but the strange thing is, every time he's a different type of ghost and once he was even in the fleshy form of a Sim, but he was still floating.
Spooky.
