Death Roulette Challenge is a scenario-focused gameplay mod that introduces a fast, random survival-or-death mechanic for Sims. It is designed for challenge-based storytelling such as war, plague, disaster, or dystopian scenarios. Fate alone decides who survives. With a single interaction, selected Sims will either die instantly or survive the challenge and receive a positive Survival buff.

Core Features

  • Select survival probability: 0%, 25%, 50% or 75%.
  • Up to 8 Sims can participate in a single Roulette.
  • Survivors receive a happy Survival buff.
  • One-click execution for fast scenario Setup.

It is not recommended to select too many Sims at once — even the Grim Reaper has limits.

Eligible Sims

The following Sims can participate:

  • Children, Teens, Adults, Elders
  • Occult Sims
  • NPCs on the active lot
  • Pregnant Sims
  • Sims with Immortal traits

Exceptions

  • Ghosts
  • Skeletons
  • Grim Reaper
  • Toddlers (immortal by game design)

Special cases:

  • Pregnant Sims can be selected, but if they die, the pregnancy is removed (EA limitation).
  • Immortal Sims can be selected; if fate decides death, the immortal trait is removed.

Death Logic

Deaths are handled using Base Game–compatible methods:

  • Default death: Starvation
  • During rain: Lightning (EP05 Seasons)
  • Vampires, Spellcasters, and Robots die according to their species
  • Children die by fire (the only valid EA child death type)

Access & Usage

Because of the nature of this mod, the interaction is only available via the Cheat Menu
(hold CTRL to access it).
