Pufferfish Nigiri is a really tasty dish. But did you know it can kill your Sims?
Eating poor quality Pufferfish Nigiri can trigger Death by Pufferfish in The Sims 4 City Living. If your Sim is in a very bad mood and is feeling very Uncomfortable, they have a higher chance of experiencing this type of death.
On the other hand, aliens are immune to Death by Pufferfish, they can’t die from Pufferfish poisoning.
How to trigger Death by Pufferfish in Sims 4
To trigger Death by Pufferfish, have a Sim with a low Cooking skill level cook Pufferfish Nigiri. They will often cook poor-quality Pufferfish Nigiri. Have them eat the dish and there’s a 50% chance they’ll die from Pufferfish poisoning.
If you don’t want your Sim to die, you can invite their friends to dinner and see who dies.
The victims may not die instantly. It usually takes a few bites for the poison to kick in.
But if they’re already in a bad mood, the poison will kick in after the first bite.
The ghost of a Sim that died after eating Pufferfish Nigiri has a Pufferfish swimming around inside of them.
How to learn the Pufferfish Nigiri recipe
To help you Sim learn the Pufferfish Nigiri recipe, enter Build Mode and buy a Japanese Food Stall for 1,800 Simoleons. Then hire a vendor to run the stall for 100 Simoleons. You can now order the Pufferfish Nigiri dish.
After eating their first Pufferfish Nigiri dish, your Sim will learn the recipe and can cook this delicious meal themselves.
You can also catch Pufferfish near the docks of San Myshuno. However, Pufferfish is a very rare fish and you’ll need to spend a lot of time fishing until you’ll catch one.
Buying Pufferfish from the Japanese food stand is a much better option.
Of course, Sims with a high Cooking skill level will typically cook high-quality Pufferfish Nigiri meals that are generally safe to eat.
