Weird Glitch?

[Pearl19]

Ok, so I am new here but I wanted to also say that I have encountered a weird glitch in the Sims 3. But this was when I only was playing it for two weeks and unfortunately it happen a long time ago but I want to know if anyone else has experienced it. Ok here goes. So one day I decided to play my Sims 3 game that I got. I get on and everything looks fine, but then I find out I was wrong. One minute later one of my Sims dies. Unfortunately this Ssim was going to be a father but obviously not.
Anyway just before he died though I was looking at his needs and he was fine, he just dropped on the ground dead.
It scared me, I was like OH NO!
Then the grim reaper came and with me still being new to the game it scared me when I first saw him appear.
Anyway after he claimed my Sim's soul I thought  well at least I have his pregnant wife.
That is where I'm also wrong. But I will say she didn't just drop dead like the father.
So later that day I had the mother swimming around and she was enjoying it when for some reason her sleep need drop suddenly.
The mother started to drown but a miracle happen that saved her.
She started to give birth.
She hopped out of the water and gave birth to a baby girl that I believe I called Anne, I'm not sure.
Anyway when she gave birth the little Ann she snuggled her for a minute then this is where the weird part comes in.
She puts the baby down jumps back into the pool and dies a minute later.
When I saw that I was like 0_0, then I was like WHAT THE HECK!?
Anyway after she died the grim reaper took her soul then he did something I never thought he would do.
He picks up little Ann and snuggles her.
I was like Aww.
Well then after that he brings Ann into her now empty house puts her in the crib I bought for her and he hangs out at my house for a little while then disappears.
The social worker comes for Ann and well that's all.
Has this ever happen to anyone?
Also I promise you I didn't make this up.
Some of my friends claim I did but I'm telling you it did. Anyway I tried to see if this weird glitch would happen again but it never has.
Also note I only have the Sims 3 all right, so don't ask if I had expansion pack because at that time I think the only expansion pack at that time was World Adventures. Not sure but anyway.  If anyone could maybe tell me if this has happen or something similar happen to them because so far my friends have never had this happen so I'm just curious. Oh and another thing, I didn't know the cheats at that time either. I wish I did I could have stop my pregnant Sim from drowning or could have made little Anne grow up so she wouldn't have had to been taking away. Like I said has anyone else experience this?

I think it just a once in a million glitch, you can still save your sims if you have a previous save file from that family before both your sims died...

What color were the ghosts?

To Margerita- Well it was about two or three years ago. It happen when I was still new to the game so I didn't know all the stuff I know now unfortunately. Also thanks for replying, I was afraid no one was going to reply.
 To Ricalynn,  I'm afraid I never had the chance to see what color the ghosts were. I know now that my pregnant Sim that died would be blue because she drowned, but I have no idea what the father would be because like I said, one minute he is fine but when I go to check on him one minute later, he just drops dead the minute that I checked on him. Oh and I didn't think about this, but also the Free Will option was not on, because I can't stand it when I tell my Sims to do something and they decide they want to do something else. The reason I add this is because when I tell people about this they are all like was the free will on?  no... lol
Oh well thanks anyway.

Two things I would suggest doing to prevent something like this happening in the future, because my game has had several bugs before, it's awful, I know!

I would:

*Never save if a fire or other accident happens.

*Go to the graveyard, and find the death flower plant.  Harvest it, and keep it in your Sim's inventory.  If Grim comes for no reason again, your Sim will give him the death flower and he'll restore he/she back to normal.

Keep in mind:
*Unlucky and loser Sims are an "entertainment" to Grim (he says he loves misfortune), so he will never take them and will just keep restoring them back to life. These traits can be annoying, though, but just in case.   

Hope this helped

The moment a Sim dies you can see their ghost when the Grim comes to take him.   So you should have been able to see what his ghost was because it reflects it right there as soon as the death occurs. 

As for no Free Will - I keep Free Will on simply because without it some Sims won't feed themselves which causes them to die of starvation.  Then again I majorly micromanage to the point of pausing often to make sure everyone's action bar is full with 8 things to do so that no part of their day really isn't something I tell them to do.
