That death by laughter animation is genuinely terrifying. I had it happen once and wasn’t aware of that being a thing. Had a good few nightmares about that one

the fact we cant have burglars because they're "too scary and induce anxiety" but they okayed deaths animations like laughter and mold 😭

The animal deaths are so heartwarming and sad at the same time. I dread the moment I receive a notification about one of my animals' imminent death. Then, I remember one time, I found my evil chicken fighting Grim Reaper when he was supposed to send my elderly chicken off, the evil chicken won and my elderly chicken survived for some more days. It always cheered me up knowing there is this mechanic in the game. lol

I like the animations of death of old age. There's no struggle, no pain, just "I've had a good life and now it's time for me to rest". It's kinda... Zen

I wish they kept the animations from The Sims 3 for cat, dog and horse death. It was so sweet how Death would give them one last hug and the animation of the pet going to the afterlife is so bittersweet

No unique death for werewolf sounds like missed opportunity. Maybe they can have death by wolfsbane or something.

Okay, but 9:20 didn't need to make me laugh so hard. Katrina just walks by, acknowledges the death, and does a complete 180 like, "Hold up." That would be my nosey ass too

Rabbid Rodent Fever actually terrified me as soon as i heard about it and saw it. Sorry but the Joker skin for death by lightning was perfect.

i once had wicked whims installed, and had peeping toms enabled. i was doing a legacy challenge and had just moved my current gen into a new house. my sim's elderly mother spawned as a peeping tom and died of overexertion 💀💀

I love that the ghosts are just dancing after they die 😂 some of these death animations are much more violent than I remember. The rabbit death being cheatable is a godsend sometimes

I feel there was a missed opportunity to make the 'Death by Chicken' sim Link from Zelda, but seeing Goku get his ass handed to him by a chicken was also pretty good

the falling from heights one is, in my opinion, the one with the most morbid animation. The sims normally try to make everything about their game whimsical and silly, including something that isnt either of those things, death. So when they actually make a sim express genuine panic while trying to hold onto a cliff, only to fall and die INSTANTLY, especially if its something done by random chance, is kind of spooky :/

I like how you'll be watching a horrifying animations and just see Goku, Sephiroth, or Zuko.

Its great how much deaths are in this game but its a shame the chances of getting anything other than death by fire or starvation is so low in a normal playthrough

Sims 4 aren't my fave but some of the types of death are worth to watch, the death animation from The Rent expansion pack hits way different from the rest of them all.

the catastrophic meltdown is one of the most aggressive death animations I've ever seen

i love how many deaths and ghosts there are in the sims 4

Some people find few of the basic deaths unrealistic like anger or laughter one but i find it normal cause... Dead by anger is basically Heart attack Dead by laughter is suffocation due to the non-stop laughter that doesn't allow sim to breath in So yeah, it is ok

"Devoured by the Mother Plant" genuinely haunts me. Especially with how long it takes for the gravestone to appear. It never takes Grim that long when he's tapping away on his tablet.

Death by laughter was my very first death in this game. My sim had just gotten engaged and was making silly gummy bear pancakes to bring his fiance breakfast in bed and DIED. I dropped the game for another year

10:10 Oh wow! Not only is my clip used, but it is also credited. I feel so honored. Thank you! Anyways, what a great detailed video. Though I will point some things out: 3:16 For all emotional deaths, I've seen that it doesn't seem to happen when left in extreme emotion for too long, but rather can randomly be triggered when extreme emotion idle animation is played. Just something I've noticed in-game, but if it is so, finding an action that doesn't allow idle animations and keeping your sim at it is also a key to prevent it. Also, if you can't find anything quickly, then putting sims asleep also helps. 6:50 Agreed. I first saw that myth on SimsVIP, but it also put the (death by fire) between brackets there too. Haven't had any sims catch on fire due to rocket ship crash, so... I guess someone thought it was possible. After all, when the game was released, there were no ghosts, so there were no ghost traits to use to debunk it. 8:28 Not to mention that the wishing well can change the ghost type and can cause death by fire, anger, laughter, and embarrassment. 17:31 It doesn't actually require hungry fishes: it can happen at any time. SimsVIP has also given the factors in Get Famous guides: depending of whether sim falls in after playing with fishes or jumps in willingly, sim's mood, fitness skill, and traits also affects it. Yes, hungry fishes do increase the chance, and as an additional fun fact, sims downing in a pond will actually feed sharks/piranhas in it. 18:26 Now that is something I've looked deep into (and shared results in The Sims Forums in "There are sharks in Britechester's waters?!" thread). Basically, there are three ocean danger levels: safe (no sharks), mild (sharks, but no attacks), and dangerous (sharks and attacks). This can happen in dangerous oceans (which are located in neighborhoods like Mua Pel'am in Sulani, Foxbury Institute in Britechester, and Koh Sahpa in Tomarang). The footage in the video was in Mua Pel'am for those curious. The water doesn't seem to need to be deep as it can happen further away from red buoys. Though I have to look into it, as someone on forums did report that one of their sims was pulled underwater in Gilbert Gardens in San Sequoia (which I determined to be mild). 23:48 It should be mentioned that the same injury moodlets can come elsewhere too (snow activity fails, vending machines, werewolf attacks etc.) So yeah, if your sim ends up with Close Call from failed snowboarding and then gets crushed by a vending machine, then they're dead.

3:46 Ah yes, death by embarrassment. The most common way Sims died in GrayStillPlays' videos 🤣 Edit: 5:29 Death by drowning is a close second, 'cause they don't even need the pools to be boxed in with fences to spontaneously drown

No way! I didn't realise there were so many death types! I feel like such a pro at keeping my Sims alive in this absolute MINEFIELD! 😂

To be specific, once you get the meteorite warning, you have 20 in-game minutes to get to shelter. Be careful with increased game speed while using a telescope. That 20 minutes can pass in a blink. The event isn't entirely random. It seems to be scheduled at least somewhat in advance. I had a Sim living alone. She had her telescope on the roof and needed to use a ladder to get indoors. She couldn't easily make it in time. When she died, the game sent me back to my last save since she lived alone. After the reset, every attempt at the same time to use a telescope yielded the same result with a meteorite event triggering. This happened at least 3 or 4 times until i finally got her escape pinned down and got her indoors within the 20 minutes.

I had no idea ghosts had buffs! All these years. Very cool video, I loved watching and learning new things. Thanks

Hooray it's here! DAMMIT EMILY U R BLOCKING THE SCENE got me🤣😭

Funny story about the rocket ship crash death: I found a thread on the ea help forum and apperantly there was never a death by rocket ship in the game and the fire is just an effect. But in a guide made by EA they used the rocket ship crash as an example for a fire death for some reason and that is why there is this myth of the rocket ship death and a lot of guides have included it because of that.

never knew i needed to see sephiroph getting pummeled by a vending machine until today

I love that the mold death is like a call out to the newer Resident Evil games. Makes this RE & Sims fan happy lol

Watching Sephiroth die of vending machine was hilarious. Lol. All Cloud had to do all along was give Sephiroth a few coins for a snack.

Wondering if the Death by Rabbid Rodent Fever gets mentioned because so few own the My first pet stuff pack 😅

The best part of this video is Sephiroth being afraid of vending machines.

Oh my god, seeing various tv/video game/movie characters in this is hilarious, especially when it’s one that has a really ridiculous death animation.

omg the scariest deaths have GOT to be the rodent fever, mold, laughter, and the computer overload one. they’re terrifying!! the saddest has to be any of the animals, the old age (sim one), and the death by embarrassment is kinda sad too :( gets in a little ball and dies

9:24 Catrina just walked by so casually with her feminine walk while someones dying 😂

My favorite two types of death are the Mother Plant death because the ghost is so useful since all needs are maxed and the Beetle Juice death because you can use them to farm reward store points from haunted house lots. They can sleep right through any and all disturbances even on heroic mode.

5:43 “Nah, removing pool ladders won’t work this time, they’re smart now.” Me: Our Sims now know what we‘be been doing to them, we’re screwed!

I just appreciate you going above and beyond by describing what special effects each ghost type has. I didn't even know a Rabid Rodent Fever ghost can lose their costume by taking the vaccine for it.

Seeing Goku get KO'd by an evil chicken was hilarious xD

Death by laughter and anger are the most realistic emotional deaths cause both can cause you to have a stroke and go into cardiac arrest but the laughter one is extremely rare to happen in real life.

i knew death by beetles was a beetlejuice reference as soon as you said the drink name. you should've made the character you used for the example death lydia or something!

YOOOO PERSONA 5 REFERENCE? fitting that ren died by lightning lol

1:39 This is by far the safest death in sims.

ZUKO SEASON 1 AND GERALT SIMS 😍😍😍

The vampire wearing a beauty sheet mask got me💀

I find it so fun that it was your all deaths and ghosts in Sims 3 video that introduced me to this channel and now here we are with the Sims 4 version

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THE DEATH OF FLYS?! THAT WAS SO SCARY 🪰

seeing sephiroth get crushed to death by a vending machine was hilarious to me, thank you 😂

I always wishes that "extinguish self" wasn't an option. Most deaths you have to actively try to manage but I like the element that sometimes, every now and then, something is out of my control. Most people have other sims, or at least a shower on lot that they can use to extinguish their sims. With extinguish self, there's no reason to use those options.

I could've sworn rocket crashes were an actual death at one point. Kinda shame that they're not tho

Never thought Sephiroth would die from a vending machine

You know, Turning a Vampire into a Death by Murphy bed ghost hybrid would be beneficial to the vampire sim if he has the vampire weakness: Fitful Sleep, before his/her double death afterlife. Thanks for the info onlyabidoang.

I actually originally found your channel years ago when you uploaded your sims 3 deaths video. I didn’t subscribe the first time watching just because I didn’t have a UKposts account at the time, but when I got one and found your channel again I subscribed. You uploading this just reminds me of that first video of yours I watched.

Holy moly man, all of them?? You’re a rockstar, thank you so much for the video!

As a ff player, sephiroth dying from the vending machine was pretty funny. Who knew it was that easy

Not Geralt getting the rabid rodent fever though 😂

Wow this is amazing the work you put into this! Congrats and can’t wait to see what new deaths the sims team comes up with in the future

I love how many deaths there are in the game, but I wish the ghosts were more visually diverse and appealing like sims 3 ghosts. Fuck a regular grey and pink ghost, gimme red vampire ghosts and bright blue drowned ghosts! I want my neon green ghooooosts!!

Thank you for this, I had no idea playing as a ghost was this cool. I don’t know if they added this after this video, but in the realm of magic pack, if you keep casting dedeathify too many times (without overloading) it can temporarily turn you into a ghost 😊

Sims 4 crew really said copy and paste on the death animations😭

your one of my fav youtubers! ❤

I love that in this video, one of the very first things every ghost does is DANCE!! XD "I died horribly." (very next scene) "LET'S BOOGIE!" --Aww, the fact that the sauna-oofed Sims break the sauna is kinda sweet...because it means that the next Sim CAN'T autonomously die from it like they did! --DAAAAAMMMMNNN, Katrina Caliente just sauntering by while your vampire scorched to a crisp right in front of her, was COLD. Wow, lady. --NOOoooooo I dun wanna watch the pixel kitty die again... :( :( :( On the other hand, my main Sims family was then able to adopt their ghost kitty right back. :) --Lol at Geraint being like "What kind of contraption am I looking at?" when you told him to research Rabid Rodent Fever on the computer. XD --Dude, the Motherplant does not fool AROUND! That death animation contains smacking around just for fun, rubbing tendrils over where the stomach would be like "Yum!"... --The Freezing-death ghosts...I found out by accident that if you do stuff around them they do not like, they may just freeze your entire household. One time I had a Sim flirting with her current husband in front of the ghost of her old one, who had frozen to death mysteriously ;) in an outdoor swimming pool in winter, and I realised that every time she did something especially romantic with the new guy, EVERYBODY STARTED COMPLAINING OF COLD. Everybody. The heat was on and functioning. The ice ghost was just PISSED. Dude, it's literally "until DEATH do us part". She's allowed to move on now! :P (Even better, this was all happening during Winterfest, so THAT kinda kicked the holiday in the pants...) Yes, this was the same family that has a ghost cat. --Death by Flowers: I love the Sim who gave the Death Flowers' reaction to the elder Sim dying in front of them, was to....change their clothes. what. --Heh, the ghost from the previous "Death by Research" ghost is the one taking care of the broken Servo. Nice. (Also aww, she was sad after he blew up...) --I think all the animal-related deaths from Cottage Living are perfectly justified. You were repeatedly mean to an animal on PURPOSE, you jerk. --God, the shadow hand from the "Death by Urban Myth" one reminds me of when shadow hands DRAG YOU INTO THE UNDERWORLD in Don't Starve... --The Stink Prank one seems like another case of "You brought this on yourself, buddy-boy." --Lol at the ghost horse going through the wall like "WAZZUP". XD --Last but not least, the Death by Mold one is SERIOUSLY messed up and gross. Like, wow. I agree with the person saying "We can't have burglars, but THIS is okay?!"

THABK YOU i’ve been waiting for someone to post a updated version

Animal deaths from the Sims 3 still are my favorite, it's sad, cute and wholesome, but the horses one... It's just magestic.

thanks for updating the vids.. we always have something to talk about sims 4 😅 we love it

person; *dies* ghost person; *immediately begins flossing*

Really impressive video! I didn’t know a lot of what you showed. Now I want to play with ghosts!

I'm surprised none of the violent mods (Extreme Violence, Path of Legends) have made use of some of the deaths here. The laughter death would be perfect for something like Joker Gas, especially when mixed with the Stink Capsule's functionality

I heard that the rocket ship crash could cause your Sim to catch on fire, so I always viewed that as a death by fire rather than by rocket ship specifically. Will you be making videos on extra features from Growing Together and Horse Ranch? And could you make one on cross gameplay with infants and other packs like you did for toddlers?

Love seeing who you chose for each death 😂 great video!

Thanks so much for this!

Wow! I never knew about the death by urban legend, or the beetle death ones. Thank you for making this video.

excellent vid! oh and btw, CONGRATULATIONS, doc!

Vlad once showed up at my sim's house in the middle of the night and tried to drink her blood, so I went into manage worlds, took control of Vlad, and forced him to have a bonfire in the middle of the day on one of the beaches in Sulani.

Yesss we missed you Abi!! Or should I say, Dr. Abi now 😌

this isnt the first video ive been early in ofc, but i love your guides and comparisons!

Death by drowning in the ocean had me laugh so hard 😆The little floating urn and the grim reaper with divinggoggles on! oml!🤣

Amazing video and a lot of work went into this one. Only feedback is I found the music a bit loud in some places to listen to your dialogue. Thank you for your work!

Death: My job is never fun. But someone has to do it.

I have never seen death by mother plant(awesome animations!) and skeleton deaths! "Drowning in the ocean"s Grim is super cute :D Poor Pufferfish, chicken and rabbit attack, mold and hamster costumed ghosts are so cool :D But the OP ghost is just like he said, "mother plant sim" Must be because you had to do many other things before you can actually die. It looks like a reward actually :D

The fact the final death was Emily is the icing!

Love the game/anime references!!

Such cheerful note for the end of the year!

The lighting superpowers from being struck would actually be pretty cool, and it reminds me of the flash.

woaa im impressed!! you're English is so good i love your pronunciation 😉🤟🏻 nice content!!

It's here! And I can't wait for For Rent one

The ghosts dancing 😭

I wish they showed the netherworld,i wonder what it looks like

great video abi! thank you

I don't know why but the cats and dogs death gets me everytime! And yes I have the pack installed but I can't give my sims pets anymore cause Im the one ending up sadder then my sims. 😢😅

You are one of my favorite simmers, Abi! 💜

this video is AWESOME!

I love the different characters that you use In every video

I love that you matched certain characters with deaths that “suited” them lol

ngl kinda like the idea of making a household where its 1 sim who is a medium and all the other sims are ghosts with various different deaths and put em all in a haunted house

DUDE. Now I need to make a break on my post grad project to watch your video. Thanks 😂❤

Death by urban myth: Cow lady: dies Other lady: oh.

What an eye opening video 😍

I love these videos!!

Imagine dying just because you were too embarrassed,too mad,or too playful😭
