Grim Reaper Visit

Oh noes! :O While Laquita and Lily (the kid in the green shirt) were at the theater going to a movie, one of the neighborhood Sims who was also there decided to die of old age right in the lobby area. :(

The Grim Reaper came and shook his finger at the guy and then swirled him into the ether! :O You can see that mist on the side, where his gravestone had appeared! Afterward, his gravestone promptly disappeared to the neighborhood graveyard. If it had been one of MY Sims that had died, I would have been able to keep the gravestone/urn.

Neighborhoods in Sims 3 are living/growing things, while you are playing your "active" family, the rest of the Sims grow, die, get married, move away, etc. It's awesome!
