Deadly Bee Swarms
A mod that helps make 'death by flies' a tiny bit easier to achieve.
I've never had a ghost of this death type in my game naturally, even when intentionally neglecting my sims' cleanliness, but now it's an added risk when hiking and hunting bugs! Still rare, but no longer seemingly impossible. x)
Behaviour
My original mod added a simple coin flip to determine whether the swarmed sim will die or not (still available for download below as DeadlyBeeSwarms_Executables).
My second version (titled DeadlyBeeSwarmsV2_Executables) adds both tuning and a lot more logic to the swarm encounter. First, the swarmed sims’ body skill points are used to sort them into a risk bracket, as shown below:
Sims with 0-2 Body skill points will have the highest risk of death, whilst sims with 8-10 Body skill points will technically be immune. However, a sims’ Activity level can also increase or decrease risk:
This means sims with 8-9 Body skill points but only 0-1 Activity points can still fall into the Low risk bracket, but sims with 10 Body skill points will have full immunity by default.
Servos are also now immune from death by default (many thanks to BoilingOil, @gummilutt, and @lamare-sims for this thread!).
In version 2, children gain a bonus ‘risk bracket’ point overall, and do not receive a debuff for 0-1 Activity points, to account for their lack of body skill points.
As a result, children never drop into the High risk bracket, quickly gaining full immunity once they have 5 Body skill points:
Alternatively, there's a version for children to be totally immune to swarm attacks (titled DeadlyBeeSwarmsV2_KidsImmune_Executables).
Tuning
V2 is BCON-tunable, with four values correlating to the death risk chances out of 100 (as shown in table #1 above). These are labelled to show what risk bracket the value correlates to.
Conflicts
This mod overrides the BHAV Interaction - Chased By Bees.
As far as I can see, there hasn't been a hiking or bug hunting mod to alter this particular BHAV yet, but please do let me know if you run into any conflicts!
