A matter of death So, exactly what happens when a sim passes away? Ive seen graveyards and urns. Do you decide whether he is cremated into an urn or given a grave in the backyard of the house? Also around what time do old sims die? My old sims are mainly around day 56 of being an elder...
Elders last for between 10 and 30 days, the average being around 20 (so they tend to die when they are between 70 and 80 days old). If they pop their clogs indoors Grimmy will leave behind an urn, outdoors it'll be a gravestone. But if you move a stone indoors it becomes an urn and vice versa. Having an urn/grave stone about the place will cause hauntings. If you have Nightlife you can choose to move graves to a community lot (eg a graveyard.) My own graveyard is getting pretty full and I haven't even had one of my sims die yet. The dorms are so manic that I lose an average of 2 dormies per semester (I love it when the cow karks it :mads: )
Mirelly, it's not nice to starve your UNI students. You must provide food. . . there will be I lawsuits from the Simmy-parents!!!
OK, I'm still confused, because my dormies do just fine. I can't control them, starve them, or anything of that nature. The only ones I can control are the PCs. Even the one I turned into a vampire does just fine in the daytime. I bought her a coffin but she doesn't use it. She just wanders around, la la la la ... I can only surmise there's a hack that lets you be mean to everyone? I mean, if you delete the fridge then your sim dies too, doesn't it? And you can't put in a swimming pool or induce them to use the energizer when they're in the green ... hmmm. I keep learning things about this game, and now I want to know (just out of curiousity, of course) how to kill the dormies off ...
I suppose I ought to take it up with Pescado (I only use his Director's cut). These probs occur in my custom built dorms. For some reason the dormies can't get their act together. Within 24 hours of a dorm opening I have generally seen two fights, thre or four bladder failures and the entire commissary will be littered with uneaten bowlsful of mac or chilli (my dormies grab a bowl, table it than get sidetracked ... starvation is possible in a land flowing with milk and honey 0 Meanwhile I'm not fussed by it. The game spawns new ones and it makes the seeing a ghost want a darn sight easier I only use a dorm for the fresher year anyway. Just enough for a student to make a good enough friend to cohabit with plus get to know at least a dozen others before I move 'em out and into a trailer or some other low-rent joint where they're not plagued by trillions of uncontrollable sims. Mascots/cheerleaders are cool cos they always head straight for the bookshelf and do some research so my sims are rarely short of someone to do joint research with. The coaches and stalking profs provide skill and aspirations on demand via the sim-o-vac. University for my sims is one long treadmill of torture and study and er ... an excessively morbid pre-occupation with all matters simbiological
It is a Pescado hack. I believe it's called dormievulnerablitiy or something to that effect. It makes the dormies less self-sufficent. Pescado made it, I believe, so that he could point and laugh at the suffering dormies.
Ah, yes it's all coming back to me ... thanks. That clears it up! I think I'll avoid that particular hack. I look at the dormies as dating and possible marriage material, although more and more now my sims are marrying sims I create for them ... Dormies are just so inferior.
LMAO ... I just trust the Pescado seal of approval to avoid the BFBVFS ... if his hacks make my game even funnier then I am not arguing ... oooh lookit lookit that! Waylon Trottier done pooped his pants again rofl
lol Pescado makes me laugh often, even if I've never used one of his cheats. I like graveyards in the back... but sometimes move my sims out and back in so they will stop crying over the tombstone.
