Weird Pics, funny posts or something new?

Oh, this screenshot made me giggle  . Josie there on the right is Evil, Flirty and Dramatic, so I wonder what kind of story she's telling to get that reaction from the others?

Before Late Night, I had a sim in Sunset Valley that was almost killed 3 times by a meteor in ONE game.

Wow, three meteorites to the same Sim  ? The worst I've had was two, and I've never had a meteor since. Pictures are here.

On another Sims fan site I read about one player's game when a meteor struck the school, killing most of the children in the town, including their legacy heir.  She had pictures of it, so it seems to be true.

That was Aria's story, here. Yeah, it was pretty nasty.

That middle one is the painter, right?

Wow!  Actually, no, it wasn't that player, or even on this website.  That means it happened to two people!

@MoMoll
Did your sim have the unlucky trait?

[MoMoll]

My sim didn't have the unlucky trait unless it was a hidden trait unknown to me.

I just don't let any more sims use the telescope now since I don't want them to fry.

Just to put your mind at ease, meteors have nothing to do with telescopes.  The only meteor that I've ever seen in person happened when I was playing a sim who had never even seen a telescope.  In fact, it happened immediately after she had stopped by the gym to take a shower before work.

There's even a few pictures of a meteor strike that happened during someone's vaccination clinic somewhere in this thread.  Give me a minute and I'll find it for you.

And here they are:

Now that I've mentioned Hannah's meteor strikes I better post some pics, eh? The first one snuck up on me as she was leaving the Science Lab so I didn't get any screenshots, but the second one happened as she was finishing a vaccination clinic at the park. There were loads of people around for that, so I had charred townies running around for weeks. The funny thing was that none of the Sims became Singed straight away, they just all stood on one leg, cringing, until their clothes burnt off one by one. It was kind of funny. 





There. Now it's art!
The meteor itself was collected by Hannah later in the day and is now proudly displayed in her living room. She got a wish for a tattoo, so I sent her to get one of a moon to commemorate the event.



On an unrelated note, local mixologist Tim Burre was tragically devoured by GIANT FLYING SPACE PIRANHAS.

I think at one time, there were people that were getting hit by meteor's that were outside in their garden or looking through the telescope.  I guess people just figured that was the only time they were hit.  But now, there are tons of pictures of schools, houses, parks, etc. that are getting hit and has nothing to do with telescopes.  I had just started a challenge and the second day that my sim was downtown, she was in front of the theatre and she got hit.  It did however kill her and burn others around her, but she was sitting on the park bench, reading.  I had never had a meteor, so I did not know what that sign meant at the time, it means RUN! lol

Run like your life depends on it cause trust me, it does.  The first meteor I had was awesome. The others, not so much. I have really come to hate them as a matter of fact! One of them I had, I managed to get all my sims off the lot, but the neighbors came running over, and poor Cornelia caught fire and died.

Never had a Meteor, I kind of want one, wait now that I have said that whats the chance that it's going to hit my Brand Spanking new Legacy House and burn it to the ground! 

[Tommyo3000]

I'm Jealous! I want a meteor now! I guess it's bound to happen someday.

[MoMoll]

@Tommyo3000: Not sure you really want a meteor, because when my sim lost all her colleagues, she was so depressed for days! Like when they get cursed by a mummy.

You get what you wish for!

I've never had a meteor either, I'd quite like to have a meteor ghost though. They are very good looking.

[Saltypaws]

If you could have a meteor and no one gets killed, then that would be ok.  Now that I know what to look for, I can have my sim run, but I don't think I want one if it decides to knock out a school or something where all those poor kids and sims get killed.  I saw those pictures and it was eerie looking. 

There is a thread on meteor's, we might want to finish discussing this topic on there.  We are kind of moving off topic for this thread and I take part of the blame, lol.

[Seabody]

Yes there is - and I believe that this is it.

Has anyone ever had kids turn out exactly the same in every way?
In my baby boomer challenge, I had twins boys who were exactly the same in every single way - the exact same hair and clothes (I didn't use the dresser in my challenge) and the exact same facial features. I'd never seen that happen in the game before, apart from when you make twins in CAS.
