What wishes have a deadly outcome in The Sims 4?
There are 9 different types of wishes that the Wishing Well can grant your Sim. There are six possible outcomes, depending on the well’s mood:
- Overwhelmingly positive (White)
- Positive (Green)
- Neutral (Blue)
- Negative (Orange)
- Overwhelmingly negative (Red)
- Deadly (Black)
If the color of the visual effects is black, this indicates the outcome will be a deadly one. Each outcome will trigger a unique moodlet on your Sim.
The following wishes will result in a deadly outcome if the wishing well has the Deadly Face: Simoleons, Youthful Vigor, Happiness, Promotion, and Skill.
Wish for Simoleons
Wishing for Simoleons can result in the wishing Sim getting set on fire. Instead of getting a ton of Simoleons, your Sim gets engulfed in flames.
If you don’t put out the fire fast, they’ll die. Death by Fire is not fun.
Your Sim will also get the “My Simoleons Burned Up!” Tense moodlet.
Additionally, 10,000 Simoleons will instantly disappear from your household funds. Gone forever.
Wishing for Happiness
Wishing for Happiness can result in the wishing Sim gaining a Very Playful moodlet.
If you don’t get rid of this buff fast, your Sim will get Hysterical and die of laughter.
Wishing for Youthful Vigor
Wishing for Youthful Vigor may sometimes turn the wishing Sim into a ghost. They’ll get a random death trait and the Perpetual Youth Sad moodlet.
The good news is that your Sim remains playable.
Instead of wishing for Youthful Vigor, you could try to complete the Bodybuilder aspiration and reach your Sim’s maximum body potential.
They’ll get the Long-Lived trait which adds a few more days to their life span.
Wishing for a Promotion
Wishing for a promotion can sometimes result in the exact opposite thing. Your Sim may get demoted and even fired.
As a result, they’ll get the Very Angry moodlet which may result in Death by Anger after realizing they worked so hard for nothing.
Wishing for a Special Skill
Wishing for a Special Skill may result in a Very Embarrassed moodlet. Your Sim will feel very embarrassed for lacking the necessary talent to get that skill. This can result in Death by Embarrassment.
⇒ Important Note:
The following wishes won’t kill your Sim:
- Life
- Child
- Grades
- Romance
The Deadly Outcome for a Sim wishing for a Child is a ghost child added to the household. If your Sim can’t try for a baby or get pregnant, there’s always the option to adopt a child.
The Deadly Outcome for a Sim wishing for more Romance in their life is a random ghost Sim that will have the Soulmates relationship status with your Sim.
