Questions re: Meteor Strikes in Sims 3: Ambitions
Hello all,
So, I've had my eyes on Sims 3: Ambitions, for quite some time at this point. When I say for some time, I mean since 2012, when a cyclical redundancy check error meant that the copy of Ambitions I had back then (I no longer have it, unfortunately) refused to function on my dinosaur with the minimum specs: Shader 2 Video Card on a Pentium 4 fixer-upper running Windows XP.
But since I've got a much nicer computer now - make that two nicer computers - I can run every single EP at once, if I liked. In fact, Ambitions and Showtime are the only two I don't have yet.
However - and this may sound silly, but it's as close to a dealbreaker as it can get for any EP with that much sweet, sweet content - but my main concern is the meteor strikes.
I have a few questions about the meteors, because I'm that - and probably a bit overly - concerned about getting my family's home and possessions wrecked:
1. To my understanding, meteors strike community lots, rabbit holes, and out in the open. But do they strike the family home proper, or at least the clear land which is the yard?
2. IFF the meteors strike the family home proper, do they trash the walls and items in the home?
3. IFF the meteors trash the walls, would building the home in the form of several basements be enough to offset the potential damage?
See, I don't like having career rewards - like the MinusOne Kelvin Fridge - or lifetime rewards like the Philosopher's Stone destroyed. I also don't like the prospect of having to rebuild all my hard work.
Thank you in advance o/
P.S. This is my first post as a member, I'm not sure if it's allowed on this subforum, but I hope it doesn't hurt to ask...
