'''Lightning''' is a weather phase in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'' during heavy storms.

'''Lightning''' is a weather phase in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' during heavy storms. 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.

'''Lightning''' is a weather phase in ''[[The Sims 2File: SeasonsLightning.png|left]]'' during heavy storms. 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. 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]].
Line 14 ⟶ 16:
For most Sims, getting hit by lightning is a [[Wants and Fears|fear]], but for [[Knowledge]] Sims, it is often a [[Wants and Fears|want]].
 
In the[[The patchSims for2: Seasons/Patch|''Seasons'' patch]], Maxis made the lightning less deadly (it can still kill Sims, however).
 
Players can buy a lightning rod, the '''EZ120v Lightning Finial''', which is found in the Decorative section of [[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.
Line 20 ⟶ 22:
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 reappears in ''The Sims 3: Seasons''. Lightning will beis present in heavy thunderstorms that most commonly only 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 be struck twice.{{Fact}}
 
In ''The Sims 3: Seasons'', lightningLightning 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.
Line 35 ⟶ 37:
* Flying a [[Toy Making#Brinks' Kite|kite]]{{vgversion|TS2:OFB}} may attract lightning, even if it's not done in rain or a thunderstorm. Evil kites are much more likely to attract lightning, and may attract it even if ''Seasons'' is not installed.
* Even though water is bad for a [[Servo]], being struck by lightning increases its [[Energy|Power]] need. It's still not a good idea to let a Servo be struck by lightning.
 
* With the use of cheats, primarily the NRaas Debug Enabler, players can cause a bolt of lightning to strike in ''The Sims 3: Seasons''. This can even be done in sunny weather and even Sims and objects can be the target.
