Line 21: 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 [[~~Buy~~buy 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. As in ''The Sims 2: Seasons'', lightning can kill a Sim, however it is extremely rare and will require a Sim to either be struck twice or to be singed. Death by lightning in The Sims 3 is treated as death by electrocution. Lightning occurs at three different distances: * '''Distant''' - There will be a flash of light and audible thunder, but a bolt of lightning is never actually seen. * '''Nearby''' - A visible lightning bolt will strike somewhere in the [[world]], but the player's Sims are not at risk. * '''Local''' - Lightning will strike on, or very close to the lot where the game is being played. This will pose a risk of being struck to playable Sims and will create a very loud crack of thunder. However, local strikes will only occur if a thunderstorm is very long lasting. Line 37: ==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, ~~however~~be affected. Lightning can also strike the ground, bewhere ~~able~~it towill ~~electrocute~~affect ~~Sims~~plumbing ~~using~~and ~~this~~cause plumbing objects to ~~option~~spark.~~{{clarify}}~~ 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. {{Expand}} Line 49 ⟶ 51: ===The Sims 3: Seasons=== * 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. ==Gallery== Line 62 ⟶ 66: [[Category:Into the Future]] [[Category:Death]] [[Category:Articles missing information about The Sims 3]]
