▲When Sims look at clouds or stargaze on the ground, there's a 1% chance they might be crushed by a satellite.<ref>[http://cyjon.net/node/277 The study of death by satellite] on Cyjon's site.</ref> If the check is true, the satellite will fall after 5 to 24 animation cycles, where in every 3 cycles, a thought balloon will appear on a Sim's head. If Sims quit the interaction before the satellite falls, the death will not occur.
The game only checks whether the death will occur or not at the beginning of the interaction. Due to this, looking at clouds or stargazing longer than 24 animation cycles will not increase the chance of dying. Sims will have to repeat the process from the beginning until the 1% chance condition is met.<ref>There's a [http://www.cyjon.net/node/412 mod] by Cyjon that will change this behavior. The mod will check the death for every 5 - 24 cycles, instead of only at the beginning, which increases the chance of death in a prolonged gazing.</ref>

In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', Sims can spot satellites, among other astronomical features, while using a [[telescope]] to raise the [[logic]] skill. Sims report their discovery remotely, name it, and thus earn a few [[Simoleon]]s. Other Sims can spot pre-discovered satellites while stargazing. Satellites cannot kill Sims in ''The Sims 3''.
