Earthquake

Earthquakes are a natural disasters caused by the shifting of Earth's plates. Earthquakes have been a part of the SimCity series from the first as a disaster with the potential to start fires and destroy a city. The Sims 3: Ambitions will be the first time earthquakes are in The Sims series.

It is currently unknown how they will work, but they are likely to start fires for the new firefighter Sims to deal with. They could also cause problems for architect Sims. It's likely that earthquakes will add a new death to the game.

Earthquakes may also present new Opportunities or collectibles, such as unearthing an ancient rock in the rubble of a former building. Nothing of this has been confirmed yet.
