How to Kill a Sim in The Sims Bustin' Out

The game has no "kill" command. Death occurs only through neglect or accidents:

Ways a Sim Can Die

• Starvation: Hunger motive bottoms out → death (takes ~3 in-game days).
• Fire: Cooking low skill + cheap stove → fire → Sim trapped → death.
• Drowning: Build pool without ladder → Sim swims until energy depletes.
• Electrocution: Repair electrical object with low Mechanical skill + puddle.
• Satellite crash: Rare random event while stargazing (base game).

Design Note

• Bustin' Out (console) is more forgiving than PC Sims—deaths are rarer.
• No ghosts, no Grim Reaper, no urns—dead Sims just vanish from household.
• Story mode: main Sim cannot die (mission failure instead).

If you're stuck, use maxmotives (PC) or just tend needs—game isn't built for torture.
