Earthquake

Earthquakes are a natural disaster 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.

In the case of an earthquake your sim must be in the firefighter career. Your screen will shake and a message will pop up saying you should check in with the fire station to see if you can help out. Earthquakes can cause fires, gas leaks, and sims to be buried in rubble. While working on the disaster your sim will most likely encounter multiple households of trapped sims and other havoc. Having an earthquake in game is perfect for sims with the Firefighter Hero lifetime wish as you will save from around 4-10 sims from rubble usually.
