Iggy here:

I never tell people "I told you so."  (A quiet look and an arching of
the eyebrow is so much more effective.  *grin*)

My wife, by the way, had two fatalities in her family as well.  In
"Makin' Magic," you have the ability to buy a Dragon's Nest and raise a
dragon as a pet... (Ahhh... but if one could only make a half giant like
Hagrid in the game... Or if we could somehow send him a magical computer
that will run the game on the Hogwarts grounds... *chuckle*)

Well, for some reason, her dragon hatched before she had time to take
proper care of it, and it got angry... setting fire to the garden.  The
sim wife ran out to extinguish the fire, and was eventually consumed by
the expanding conflagration.  The husband, who groggily woke up to his
wife's dying shrieks, tried to rush to her aid... to be devoured by the
hungry flames himself while the small dragon watched.  

Her two parents dead, the couple's small daughter was left an orphan...
who, oddly enough, began to tickle and play with the offending wyrm,
treating it with much tenderness and care.  (This reporter wonders if
the child somehow persuaded the baby dragon to eliminate her parents, as
she stood to inherit a house, a large piece of land, and over 4 million
simoleans.)


Fortunately, my wife reversed the whole event by simply using the
"return to the neighborhood" option without saving the game on leaving.
*grin*  We like to think of it as an abstract manifestation of Deus Ex
Machina... although some may just call it cheating.
