Meteors

[bshag]

I usually send my sim, Josh down to the consignment shop to see what's on sale on most days.  This time when he clicked into his truck a sign appeared, all pink..."Josh noticed it getting dark all of a sudden."  I kept looking around but there was nothing weird I could see.  He gets to the consignment shop and I panned out to look around and see smoke coming from his house.    I send him home and there are meteors everywhere.  Between him (daredevil) and the girl across the street, they managed to put out the fire.  He got about $5,000 from all the meteors lying around.  I was so shocked I never got any pics.  

So if you see one of these signs, move fast cause you're about to get smacked.

Very exciting!  I can't wait for something like this to happen in my game.  So far I haven't even had an earthquake, and I have not one but TWO level 10 firefighters!

[templesmom]

Oh wow, So cool. I didn't know those could happen to someone who was not a firefighter. I thought it would be a job for them. Awsome. Can't wait for it to happen in my game.

I had a meteor shower when one of my sims was using the telescope.  It destroyed everything that was outside and left big craters.  The money realized by selling the meteors barely covered the cost of replacing everything.  If, as I read somewhere, meteor showers are more likely when sims are using telescopes, my sims will be doing without their telescopes in future.

According to the Prima Guide, if you see that shadow overhead, you better run! It will kill your Sim it if strikes in the right spot.

Hrm... I think I better move my family into an actual house before I buy a telescope then.  Right now they're living in the wild outdoors.

It happened to me while I was at work, it sizzled everybody who worked in the Hospital, and it killed my boss Morgana Wolff.  This was my 3rd or 4th day of work.  I didn't get a new boss, and didn't get any more books to read for research.

Wow!  That  borders on real life...how scary!

How on earth did you fulfil the Research meter without the books?! Or was it through doing the new Ambitions related activities?

[Puppetmaster1]

I didn't.  The Research Meter stayed at Yellow the entire game.  I made it to World Class Surgeon with both my Sims regardless.  (I am playing an "ER" game, since i am new to the Sims, and I thought having my two Sims in the same profession would simplify things to start).

"ER"?

[wildredchild]

"ER" was a TV show that is very popular and the series just ended within the last year or so I believe.

Something I forgot to mention:  after the meteor shower that destroyed all my sim's outdoor possessions, she had a constant "disgusted" moodlet on her lot.  I couldn't find anything that would have been causing that moodlet - I had filled in the big craters outside, and as far as I could tell, there was nothing different inside the house.  I didn't want to deal with that negative moodlet every time she was at home so I wound up deleting the game.

Couldn't you have moved house?

[Asleep]

That's what I was about to say. Great minds think alike LOL.
