Killing a sim u hate

i have probably tried this bout 6 times, ok anyways... you build a room around the sim then you put a fire place in the room this will work only if u have control over the sim, then click the fireplace then hit light fire then wait ..tick-tock... then it should be a fire! Instantly move the sim by the fire.......YES!.... its dead now and PS it wont work if you have purchased the Lifetime Reward Homestead house sumn like tht if u have Ambitions Ex Pack. Another way... is that you keep them in a room delete the door n let them sit there with nun to do his is probably a 10 miniute process set the speed to ultra speed [3], but for further information if that is your only sim well GAME OVER! then you can make a new game........

How to Retire Young

To do this, you must first have the Sims 3 Generations expansion. You must have a Sim learn all the potions from the Chemistry Set and make the Young Again potion. Use the Birthday Cake the number of times necessary to make a Sim Elderly. Have the Sim retire (preferably after reaching top of his/her career) and have them drink the Young Again potion once the group finishes celebrating you newly retired Sim's achievement. Presto! Retire young! Do this for all your Sims so you can still take on other work AND get a pension! Be aware that you may want to first have bought out some property so your Sims can live "la viva de dulce."(The Sweet Life)
