Arent those big meteor crashes really random? I have just been hit twice in the last 2 weeks, in 2 different games.
Last night i was playing with Baby Boomer challenge when tadaa "Dad wonder why its getting so dark" and my heart just stopped, there was a huge shadow over where he was stood carrying a baby, while 3 of my toddlers were happily playing right next to him, at the edge of this shadow. I had dad walk to the far end of the lot and told all the playing toddlers to do the same and had a panic moment while they in theyr own pace crawled across the lot. Neighbours were running in, waving theyr arms and yelling and then my entire lot exploded when a huge meteor struck. All of my furniture exept for 2 items was turned into scraps or burned out. For a while all was a chaos of scorched neigbours, firemen and unhappy babies but to my great relief none of my family was harmed. Quite disappointing the value of the meteors only allowed me to buy back a third of my lost furniture. That dont seem right
After sleeping on it I desided to continue the game, I just hope i can get the "dirty inviroment" debuff outdoor to go away somehow.
Two weeks back I had my first attemt on an old challenge, Da Vinci, totally destroyed by a meteor much the same way. Again I was fast enuf to save my sim, but I lost all but 1 of my furniture and every single of the 25+ sculptures I had on the lot. I desided to just start it over.
Im really divided about those meteors, on one hand I think its an interesting flavor to the game that disaster could strike at any random moment, and you just have to deal with it. On the other hand, if your playing a specific challenge it can destroy your plans just as much as a huge game glitch. I read a meteor can strike the school, thats really a game changing disaster isnt it.
So, I thought maybe you would like to share your meteor story too?
Cheers Honey
