Does the volcanic activity lot trait actually DO anything?

Yes exactly what kalaksed said.

I enjoy the volcano eruptions. They happen frequently and the bigger eruptions startle me almost every single time. There are different levels of eruptions that sometimes break everything on the lot. I am doing a rags to riches with a conservationist sim sent to evaluate the volcanic activity on the islands. My sim would get more and more stressed the longer she was there. It added an urgency to get her moved to a safer location.

Do the lava bombs hit your house? I want to try the lot trait on a build I made but I don't want it hitting my house or back patio.

Hasn’t hit my house yet, but it hits pretty close.

I do not know if the volcano can damage the house itself. I had many eruptions but none hit the house or deck. I did have toilets and radios break. If it is possible for the house to be damaged it did not happen in my game.

From what I have read they don’t cause damage and pose no risk to your sims unless you choose to touch one before it’s cooled down.

I had a much different idea of what this would be when the developers explained it, of course they don’t know what the heck happens in their own game because they were way off base.

This is just another gimmicky feature that when all is said and done has no real effect on the game.

The bombs can start a fire, but if you live in Sulani, your neighbours turn into firefighters and extinguish it. :kissing:

Everyone thanks for answering my question. I can't have my house or back patio destroyed or burned because I can't replace the stuff on my lot. I built it on a empty lot I had my sim visit and used a lot of locked items.

This is the lot I plan on using. I'm going to put it on the lot by the volcano. Sorry I have no screenshots of the lot, otherwise I'd use them to show the lot.

Thanks for all the responses! I wish I got to experience this fun stuff in my lot but nothing ever happened.

Rarely works for me.
