Line 10:
[[File:Lightning.png|left]]Lightning can be distant, nearby, or local. Distant lightning will be marked by thunder, but there may not be a flash. With a nearby strike, there will be a flash, which may be intense, and the thunder may be louder, but the lot will not be affected. With a local strike, a bolt of lightning actually hits something (or someone) on the lot.
If a Sim is outside there is a possibility they will get hit. A Sim who is on the lot as a walkby can be hit, even if they have not been greeted. Lightning can also be attracted to a lightning conductor, like a hot tub or a hot spring. Sims soaking in one of these during a storm will be hit by lightning very frequently. It is also very likely that after getting hit while in the hot tub, the Sim will also be struck by lightning as soon as they step out of the hot tub, resulting in near instant [[death]].
Lightning can also hit trees or other objects placed outside, causing them to catch [[fire]]. If a Sim calls the fire department, usually they will give a fine as the fire is generally out by the time they arrive. However, if lightning strikes a combustible object and other combustible objects are nearby, the fire may spread and require a call to the fire department to put it out.
