All Death Types in The Sims 2 (Beyond Money Machine): 15+ Ways Including Satellite, Hail, Cowplant & Vampire

The "Money Machine" (career chance card) hand-loss death is iconic, but Sims 2 has 15+ death types:

Natural/Needs

• Old Age (most common)
• Starvation (hunger ≤ 0)
• Electrocution (repairing with low Mechanical)
• Drowning (pool/no ladder, energy ≤ 0)
• Fire (cooking, fireplace, lightning)
• Suffocation (tomb, elevator, wall glitch)

Supernatural/Event

• Satellite crash (stargazing)
• Hail storm (seasons, outside)
• Lightning strike (outside, storm)
• Fright (ghost, vampire, burglar — low needs)
• Disease (Seasons, low hygiene)
• Fly swarm (Seasons, garbage)

Cheats/Debug

• boolprop testingcheatsenabled true → Shift-click Sim → "Kill" (select type)
• aging off → age to Elder → wait

Expansion-Specific

• University: Cowplant (eaten)
• Nightlife: Vampire sunlight
• Bon Voyage: Mummy's curse, Bigfoot
• Freetime: Evil witch curse

Most require player setup. The Money Machine is uniquely absurd—hence its fame.
