Have you ever had a Natural Meteor Strike?

Yes, on my very first game after getting Ambitions. Lost a Sim that way since I wasn't expecting it.

I've had a few, not very many, over the years that have landed on pretty much abandoned lots and affected no one except startling me by having the screen shake at the time.

But then there was this late afternoon years ago when my sims attended a party thrown by an inactive, at the inactive's house. This was the one and only time that my sims were able to take control of such a party, more or less, and get everyone around them to have a good time. They were performing music in the backyard, there was dancing, food, brilliant conversation to be had, one of them was mixing up drinks, etc. I thought success, finally I had figured out what to do with those inactive party invites that never seemed to amount to anything. Then suddenly the sky got dark, everyone looked up instead of running away, and...well yes, of course that would happen right then and there, wouldn't it.

Reminded me of the classic SimCity days where you finally get your city to function just the way you want it and then Godzilla shows up and stomps all over it. :angry:

Most of my ongoing legacy family would have been wiped out by that one if I played it through. Although any survivors might have been "talking about that epic party for years," I opted to quit without saving and if my sims want to have a good time a party now, they throw one themselves. ;)

I just had another one today, the meteor came down on the lot next door to my sims house. No one was killed, but a lot of people were singed and the area around the outhouse caught on fire. Don't know why I seem to get them more than others. Third in 3 months (real time 3 months).

I’ve only had 1, caused by a telescope.

Again! I've been getting them like crazy. My sim had a death flower this time, I was a little disappointed. Usually I have no fatalities when they strike.

I had one, I think it was the second time I'd ever played, and it was just the first or second sim day into the save. I had no idea what was going on until it hit and killed my sim and it was the one and only time I had seen a 'game over' on the Sims.
Then there was the time the future world got glitched and was throwing meteors everywhere no matter which version of the future I went to.

I had two, the first was when I first installed ambitions. I had my sim in the backyard on the inventing bench for hours. I read the pop up but ignored it then I noticed a bunch of sims running into her backyard and staring up which finally got my attention, too late. she died the house and garden took a huge hit and since she was the only person in that family. game over.
the second time it happened it landing in an empty field. I had my sim run over and collect it and got like $30,000 if I remember right.
