'''Death by meteor''' is a form of [[death]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]''. It is the successor to [[Satellite|Death by Satellite]] which was seen in ''[[The Sims 2]]''.
Whenever a Sim is standing in an open
The impact of a meteor also creates [[fire]]s and Sims standing near enough will get singed. The ground will be littered with scrap metal and space rocks.
A meteor can also hit buildings. Sims will automatically leave the building if a meteor is approaching. Those who do not exit the building in time will die. Children in schools are not allowed to leave, even under a meteor.
Meteors never fall directly on children, though they may still get crushed if they stand close enough to the impact zone of a meteor aiming for a larger adult Sim.
Line 17:
The [[ghost]] color is orange with small hint of black with smoke rising from it and thus different than if the ghost died from fire. The tombstone depicts a meteor.

Unless [[mod]]s are used, it is almost impossible to be hit by a meteor, so this is a very uncommon form of death. Only one premade Sim, [[Steward Curious]], died from being hit by a meteor.
The only types of Sims who cannot die in this way are
In ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons|Seasons]]'',
== Surviving A Meteor Attack ==
* Upon receiving the meteor notification pay attention immediately. Do not delay.
* Determine if one of your sims are at risk. The notification should mention which sim is at risk.
* Move your sim out of the meteor shadow immediately. You should move them well away from the shadow.
* If your sim is in a rabbithole, get them out and away from the shadow.
* If an NPC is at risk, try using the resetsim [name] cheat to move them.
* Keep your sim out of the meteor shadow after moving them.
* Watch out for fires after the meteor attacks.
▲In ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons|Seasons]]'', it is fairly easy to kill Sims with meteors, provided you have an alien in the household. They can summon meteors at will, and if they summon them in crowded places such as schools or festivals, the chances of the meteor hitting multiple Sims is very high.

In ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', using the [[Weathernaught 57X]] with low aspiration carries a high chance that meteors will fall from the sky and start [[fire]]s. Sims in range of the meteors can be set on fire.
One of the [[Karma power]]s on [[The Sims 3 (console)|The Sims 3: Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3]] includes the ability to conjure firestorm that will "Drop fireballs onto a location to cause destruction and mayhem.". [[The Sims 3 Pets (console)|The Pets version in the consoles]] also includes a few new karma powers, with one called "Meteor Strike" that summons a meteor to fall from the sky and crash onto the lot.
==Notes==
*If ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]'' is installed, pets can be hit by a meteor, and cats stalking prey have a larger chance of being hit by a meteor.
*If a meteor hits a school, all child sims will die and cannot escape.
*While meteors are extremely unlikely to kill Sims that are not controlled by the player, should the player controlled Sim be shadowed by a meteor while in close proximity to NPC Sims, the NPC Sims then become impossible to save because they will stand inside the shadow and look up until the meteorite impacts. Multiple NPC Sims can be killed in this manner.
*In rare cases, a Sim currently inside a rabbithole can become the meteor's target. In this instance, all Sims inside that rabbithole are at risk.
*[[SimBot]]s can be killed by meteors, and [[inventing]] increases the chance of being hit by a meteor.
*If ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]'' is installed, meteor showers will appear in dystopian Oasis Landing.
