Sims 4: Kill Sims - how to do it and what the consequences are

In "The Sims 4" you have several options to kill your Sims. However, this has consequences for the further course of the game. In this practical tip, we will show you how it works and what you should consider.

Kill Sims in "The Sims 4": You should be aware of that

If you want to kill your Sim in "The Sims 4", there are a few things you should consider first.

• Above all, you should be sure that your Sim no longer plays a role in the further course of the game. Once a Sim is dead, it cannot be easily brought back into the game. However, it is possible that your Sim will return to the game as a ghost or be revived.
• If you want to play your Sim again later, but the household is full, it is better to let your Sim move out of the active household. You can divide the families and set in the settings that either the whole world or only the active household should age.
• It is possible for your Sim to wander around as a ghost. You can still interact with him through other Sims, but your Sim is no longer part of the household and cannot be actively controlled.

This is how your Sim's life ends

In addition to natural death, there are different types of death in "The Sims 4". However, killing a Sim in "The Sims 4" is no longer that easy. Compared to the previous Sims parts, the Sims are now much more resilient.

• Still, their Sims can still die of fire or starve to death if they don't get them to eat. Even strong emotions, such as anger, can cause your Sim to bless the temporal. Take a closer look at the different types of death in "The Sims 4".
• If your Sim dies from an emotion, for example because he is very angry, he can infect other Sims as a spirit with this emotion. You should keep this in mind if you don't want to.
• If it doesn't work right away, you have to carry out the actions several times and for longer. This is mainly because your Sims don't die that easily in the fourth part of the game.

Kill Sims with a cheat - how it works

If all this takes too long, you can also use a cheat. Open the cheat console with Ctrl + Shfit + C and enter the respective cheats when the desired Sim is selected. Note that some cheats can take up to 24 hours before your Sim blesses the time.

• sims.add_buff Buff_Death_Electrocution_Warning = electrocution death (Sim must repair an electronic device)
• sims.add_buff Buff_Motives_Hunger_Starving = Death from starvation (Sim is not allowed to get anything to eat)
• sims.add_buff Buff_Death_ElderExhaustion_Warning = Death due to revision
• sims.add_buff Buff_Mortified = Death from offense
• sims.add_buff Buff_Hysterical = Death from hysteria
• sims.add_buff Buff_Enraged = Death from anger
