Death by Rocket Ship

[christinal3106]

I am doing a legacy, and I am trying to kill off the spare by rocket ship.  When he started, he had no rocket science skill, and the rocket's exhaust was stuffed with fruit.  He survived the crash.  So, his brother rebuilt and stuffed the exhaust again.... and again.  It has been at least 10 times now, and he still hasn't died.  The last several times, he was uncomfortable with low needs.  I know some people look into code, and what I was wondering is if there is some random calculation, if a certain mood is more likely to cause death, or if at this point, his skill is so high, it is very unlikely to happen.  I have looked for answers, without avail.  If anyone knows anything about this, I would appreciate any info.  Thanks!

I started a thread about rocket crashes a couple of weeks ago - I'm having the same problem.  http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php/topic,22977.0.html

There's also a thread on the official sims forum someone started at about the same time.  http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/815191/killed-a-sim-with-a-rocket-ship#latest

The originator of that thread queried pinstar in the comments on the introduction page of the legacy challenge on 14 Feb. http://www.simslegacychallenge.com/the-sims-4-legacy-challenge-rules/#comment-18503   It sounds like he may consider removing it from the death collection list.

I've just about given up on this death type.  I've had two sims max the skill without ever landing safely, and a third die of old age immediately after crashing.  It's supposed to be death by fire, but I can't even get a fire from a crash to spread to surrounding objects, and the sims haven't caught on fire once.  I've also sent sims into space in every kind of miserable emotion or mix of low needs.

If someone has information from the code on this, or even just managed to die this way, I'd also appreciate knowing if it's possible.
