I've gotten word that this is currently working as designed. Sims aren't supposed to be able to be killed by rocket ship.
EA Staff (Retired)I just loaded up our shipped Base Game and got a rocket to crash, and it works the same way. Nothing ever changed, death by rocket ship has never existed in this game.
But I've had one sim die after crashing with a rocket ship. It was very early on but I believe some time after GTW was released. I had added the older twin sims I believe a guru at the time had uploaded (I remember one sim being named Kai) and made the rocket among other things after moving them in to a lot, one went to space with the rocket and the other made food to have ready for when his brother came back.
Well, both died. The cooking sim started a fire just after the rocket crash landed and a fire killed one twin to then have the other die of the fire in the kitchen because I hadn't added a shower, only a bathtub, and the other sim couldn't help his brother as he was also busy dying.
Quickest game session I've ever had, also a very memorable one. Which is why I'm confused as to it actually never being possible to being with since my sim died of crashing (or rather a fire caused by the crash, but that is what the thread is about). Did I simply encounter a bug then since I haven't experienced it since?
