Not sure what this "death by" is
« on: December 14, 2013, 10:48:45 PM »
I'm not even sure if I have it in the right area.  So, if wrong, please move it.  Couldn't decide if here, weird photos, or misc help.

Not so much as asking for help in what to do, just in what is the cause.

To explain what is happening, my sim family has the twins who had just aged up to toddler and they were reading books, mom was practicing guitar and dad was reading skill books.  I hear a sound and look back. 
There is a woman who is swimming in the pool.  Okay, weird, it is after midnight, no full moon, but whatever.
By morning she is still there, going from diving board to slider, to diving board to slider   . . .  She has the stinky green fog, she has the tired symbol over her head and she is dropping to the ground, sleeps a bit and then get back up to start the routine.  This is for a night, all day and part of the next night.  Sometime after three a.m. she dashes off.  Night comes and here she is again, closer to morning but the same routine.  Difference is that sometime around midnight, it is so dark you can hardly see what is happening, she gets out of the pool and stand there, then drops.  I thought she is going to catch some z's again.  But nope, there is a weird light, Grim's music starts and he shows up. 

Below are a couple of the photos I took.  The color is a redish pink.  Did she die of starvation? Drowning?  What is the cause?  She had been showing the hunger signs, the drowning signs, you can see the tired sign over her head. 

It is in DV, and her name is Mary Malony (something like that).  I took her gravestone to the cemetery and put that she died due to stupidity. 

There were no locks on the gates, she was able to get in and out, as she left and returned one time.  I didn't interfere because I was curious to see what would happen. 





Before this photo (one above) she dropped and there was a bright flash of light, like you see when a sim goes to age up.  Then she is just laying on the ground.





Have more of them, of her begging to not be taken.  You can hardly see Grim, it is so dark. 


Anyone know what the cause is?  Looked in the guide and couldn't see anything that was a pinkish red color.

The pinkish-ghost means that she died of starvation.

This color ghost is called purple and, like the others said, it's a starvation death.  Sounds like that Sim was glitched and stuck in some kind of weird loop.  If it happens again and you don't want to watch it, using ResetSim will probably fix it.

Died do to stupidity could be on a lot of tombstones.

But that's not what this thread is about.

Thanks for the help.  She looked pink to me and I didn't see that color when I read about causes of death.  With so many that could be the reason I wasn't sure and curious.  She had climbed out of the pool, took a step and then collapsed. 


I was being curious and mean; how long would this go on, would she die from it and what would be the cause? 

It is a seed family, so that was another reason I didn't care about what happened to her, wanted to satisfy curiosity. 
So, I guess what looks pink to me is really purple.
