In [[The Sims 2: Seasons/Patch|''Seasons'' patch]], Maxis made the lightning less deadly. However, it can still kill a Sim.
 
Players can buy a lightning rod, the '''[[EZ120v Lightning Finial]]''', which is found in the Decorative section of [[Buybuy mode]]. It can be placed on the ground or on a roof, and tends to attract lightning. If a lightning rod is present, lightning may still strike a tree, or a building, or a Sim, but it's more likely to strike the rod.
 
Lightning can also cause a [[ghost]] to appear if there is a [[gravestone]] on the lot. The grave will be struck by a blue rod of lightning and the ghost will leave his/her grave, even during daytime hours.
 
==The Sims 3: Seasons==
Lightning is present in heavy thunderstorms that commonly occur in spring, summer and occasionally autumn.

==The Sims 4: Seasons==
Lightning is a returning weather phase in ''The Sims 4: Seasons''. Sims that get struck by lightning will receive a moodlet; if they are struck again before the moodlet expires, they will either die or gain special superpowers that enable them to summon lightning to a location of their choosing. They can also strike other Sims with lightning. However, the struck Sim will not be affected. Lightning can also strike the ground, where it will affect plumbing and cause plumbing objects to spark.
 
Sims who are outdoors during a thunderstorm will become [[Scared|scared]] and will autonomously attempt run indoors. Even when indoors, Sims will receive a weaker scared moodlet for the duration of the storm.

* Carrying an umbrella in ''The Sims 3: Seasons'' can slightly increase the chance of getting struck.
* If the player has ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions|Ambitions]]'' installed, when [[SimBot]]s are stuck by lightning they receive the positive "Energized" moodlet. However, this doesn't apply to the [[Plumbot]]s from ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future|Into the Future]]''.
* In ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]'', [[Horse]]s will receive the negative "Panicked" moodlet if lightning strikes near them, this applies to the wild horses as well.
