Does the volcanic activity lot trait actually DO anything?

Just like the title says: Is there even a point to this trait?? Nothing has happened on the lot I gave this volcanic trait! I don't get the developers wasting their time adding watered down and useless traits that barely do anything.

    "Rarely works"? It works, it's just not very common. Like the earthquake trait. It's RNG based.

    I haven’t had it happen yet either and I’ve lived with it for a full sim week. I put it on the island lot near the volcano. I don’t know if it doesn’t work correctly on that lot or what but I have yet to see anything. I’m hoping it’s just taking a while. I was watching sim supply today and it’s happened to him multiple times already. Of course he is playing on the lot that automatically has the trait. I don’t know if that makes a difference or not.
  • @CelSims - thank you! Earthquakes and volcanoes, oh no! :fearful: :naughty: :lol: #tortureyoursims
  • @CelSims - I've found, over time, that I personally cannot tolerate the gremlin lot trait (& a few others) for long because I get tired of forcing my sims to clean up after them. Now, if I could only make a sim both squeamish and neat! :naughty: :lol: Harrrrumph. As if those two traits didn't go together in real life! Oh well. :wink:
  • Makes an entertaining story, @kalaksed! I did indeed laugh out loud reading your post! :grin: I understand your frustration, though. I can only torture my sims so much and then I have to make them happy, poor things. There, there, dear. It'll be alright. Shhhhh. *pat pat pat* :cookie:

    Just had an earthquake with some lava bombs. I half missed it because my game was on ultra due to my sim sleeping. What I saw was cool though.
  • Has anyone used it on the same lot in conjunction with the Earthquake trait from CL? Wondering if they sort of stack or if they share the same timer & thus effectively cut the incident-rate in half.
