full of surprises!

so evidently, the most CRAZIEST thing that has ever happened to me while playing sims just happened last night. leave it to pj's house for this to happen.

i started playing pj's house...the last save i had was from when i did couple portraits. his 2 kids kenny and parker were upstairs playing, and so i decided to first start on them with new actions. all of the sudden, one of the pop-up window notices pops up, focusing on kate. and it didn't look right. so i pause it real quick and focus in on her and pj. and she was doing the strangest thing i've ever seen. it looked like she was choking. oh man. i kinda freaked out cuz she looks really scary. check it:


after i took the pic (while paused), i decided to read the action that was going on. "Crying Softly." waaaaaaaaaaaaat??? i had no choice but to click play and see how things went. all of the sudden, she crumbles up onto the floor, and into the couch. literally. i'm sure it's just a graphic mistake, but it looks real weird. you can kinda see a leg in one of the pics. so pj is crying, and kenny ran down to cry too. and guess who else shows up? that's right. mr. grim reaper. as soon as he came, i knew what i had to do. take more pictures! hahaha. that, and cancel pj's "crying softly" and tell him to plead for his wife's life. so he did:


and when you plead for a life, you play a game with death. in this case, guess where the dark blue ball of light is. unfortunately, i didn't get a pic of the ball of light. but lucky for pj, he beat grimmy, and saved his wife's life. he's proud he beat death, and she's happy to have escaped it. awesome. e'rybody's happy! nice story, aye?


and why, you may wonder, was kate dying in the first place? well, she wasn't sick. but somehow, they randomly chose her to die. it would've been real sad if she had, because about a sim hour later, she vomitted because she's pregnant. so yes, pj saved 2 lives. yay!

and since we're talking about death, there are 9 ways to die in sims:
1. old age - old people only!
2. drowning
3. electrocution
4. burning
5. starvation
6. satellite - watching clouds during the day or stargazing without a telescope, you can have a rare random chance of having a satellite from the sky, crush you, and leave you in ashes.
7. death by flies - i hear it's digusting. but really cool :D
8. disease - any fatal disease (sims can get sick) untreated for 10 days, sim goes kaput. this is also the only way children can die. :(
9. scared to death - if you have ghosts on your lot, they are able to scare you to death. rare if an adult, but the probability is higher for elders.

**babies and toddlers cannot die. they are immortal. hahahaha ;)

in conjunction with the 9 deaths are the 9 types of ghosts. creeeeeeepy. each death results in a different colored ghost. they all have the capabilities to haunt random items in the house. the creepiest is when they take the stuff bear, float it, and the head does a 360. i saw this before i knew how to take pictures. anyhoo, drowning ghosts leave puddles of water (VERY annoying), electrocuted ghosts give off sparks, burning ghosts are smoky, and the hunger ghosts take out about 5 things from your fridge. how exciting!

the BEST thing tho is if kate died and pj got remarried, ghosty kate would've been VERY upset and haunt the crap outta pj. and the wife. hahahaha. sweet.
