Feeling incredibly guilty about killing my sims?

Well I went on my sims game and decided to kill some sims. Moved in a family of three plus a child and killed by overexertion plus starvation. Kid got taken by social services.I did feel guilty at this point, but I kept going and moved in a family of 9 and killed them by starvation. This was before bedtime and I felt so guilty at this point I could barely sleep. The next day I killed another two but didn't save. So I let my little sis kill some so she moved in a family of 9 while I went outside for a bit to clear my head. When I came back she had managed to pick off 6 SIMS, including a kid. I felt incredibly guilty and could barely sleep.
Is this normal, and how to I get rid of the guilt?

    I personally can't understand why you feel guilty, especially to the point of losing sleep. You need to remember it's not real and you haven't done anything wrong, then maybe you'll feel less guilt.

    We invest real emotion and energy into video games and the Sims is no exception. Not only do we have complete immersive control in creating the character, we also live their life. Even is the life is nothing like real life and is only played for testing what we can't do in real life, it is still an actual real-life simulation. The fact that you feel guilt when the characters die is normal and celebrated.
