Yeah, there's a chance a sim will choke in eating contests

Actually, there is no chance that a sim will choke during the eating contest. There is no death by choking in the game. The reason some sim deaths have been reported is because EA re-calculates the hunger value of every sim in the contest at halfway through the contest. They set the hunger value lower, so that the sims can keep participating in the eating contest. If a sim starts the eating contest with low hunger, they may get the Starving moodlet because of EA re-calculating the hunger. So, basically, sims are dying from starvation while gorging themselves on food as fast as possible.

In theory, it should be impossible for sims to die during the contest. At halfway through, the hunger bar is lowered, but the sims will continue to gain hunger while participating. Also, at the end of the contest, everyone's hunger bar will be replenished. Vampires, however, are in danger of dying, because their thirst gets reduced during the contest, but the contest does not replenish thirst until it's over. In cases of non-vampires dying, it is probably due to the sim starting the contest with very low hunger and being unable to replenish the hunger before the starving moodlet can time out.

I'll be darned... I'm sure that people may still want the mod though, but thanks very much for clearing that up!

This is wonderful mod, thank you! I can't believe how much mods need to be used for this game to stop them from doing all their annoying things

I don't have "Seasons" yet, but I already knew I was leery of the eating contest--I find them kind of gross and would rather not have my Sims racing over to participate. I'll plan to download this when / if I pick up "Seasons!" Thanks!

Oh great EA encountered another problem with
"Choking death" like in sims 2 a pregnant
Woman would have a high chance of choking
And disappeared forever out of memories
Round about when they vomit in the toilet

Is this compatible with 1.57? I'm not updating my game until I'm sure this is compatible or updated. This mod is mandatory for me.

Hi I think this mod needs updating because I found out that some xml related to eating contest have been updating with the 1.63 patch
That would be great if you could update it :3
