Are there ways to die accidently in criminal career track?

[BlueSoup]

My Sim had 6 death flowers in her inventory.  I've been playing her up through the criminal track and she made it to Emperor of Evil, then I had her quit her job and rejoin the track so I could move her up through the Thief branch.  I looked in her inventory later and she only had 4 death flowers left, but I have no idea when and where these flowers were used.  Is there a possibility of cheating death or do the flowers also serve another purpose?

Maybe it's her calling card?

If you'd died, wouldn't you have gotten a notification about it? That'd kinda be important enough to make a popup or side-note about it...lol.

Deathflowers can't be used in food, can they?

Not as far as anyone knows, all they do is act as a "Get out of accidentally dying free" card.

[BlueSoup]

No they definitely can't be used in food.  My impression was that they were solely a replacement for being an accidental death victim.  But I know for sure two are gone.  Weird.

I have had several books disapear from inventories (yes, I am sure that they weren't put down or away without me noticing) and a lap top and boom box (although it is possible that the lap top was taken out in public and not put back before the Sim went home).

I have a completely unsubstantiated theory that they magically turn into used newspapers in much the same way that a $50 placed in my purse turns into 5c.

Sounds familiar- especially since I often have two+ newspapers in the inventory which show the "Read" options etc. Which surely isn't possible, since they should expire when the new one arrives.
Who knows. Probably a "feature"

Nah, used newspapers will pile up in inventory. Before I was playing households in rounds and cleaning inventory every third day, I'd sometimes find 10 or so in a sim's inventory by the time I realized that all the books were gone from the bookcase.

I've been a bit too fussy about cleaning inventories, particularly fish, and veges that aren't the top quality for the next planting round. I was unable to even summon up three very nice potatoes in time for one opportunity. Hope that doesn't bork the restaurant opportunities. Witch Poofs had about 8 papers in her inventory.

I wondered if that was so sims could save the papers with the announcements of their own marriages and babies.
