My sim died

zeus does not approve of the off the grid challenge

Wow.

I will take thunderstorms more seriously in future.

That is very unlucky. :anguished: Sorry about your sim... at least you have a story for the books.

I am trying again. I am doing a living of the land this time. I am going to play in Windenburg. My sims will start with only a tent as last time. no money, He can fish and collect, to eat etc and buy things like shower, Hope no storms again.

Oof... That's really unfortunate. Not only does this death require being stuck at least two times, but other times after first only carries a chance of death, meaning that your sim could survive with lightning bending powers.

If I remember correctly, Erratic trait could prevent this death. In addition, if you manage to get enough Satisfaction Points, get the Storm Chaser trait.

Electricity was offended by your Sim's disdain for it.

Do you have a mod? It was my understanding or misunderstanding that our Sims won't be killed by lightning. I know, they've been toasted too many times and not one single death. Wow, just wow. Sorry for your loss.

@GalacticGal don't know if they changed it, but after thunderstorms were introduced my then played sim died by lightening while in the jungles of Salvadorada.

Sims can die from a lighting strike with 0 mods. ;)

The Sims 4: Seasons
Lightning is a returning weather phase in The Sims 4: Seasons. Sims that get struck by lightning will receive a +40 dazed moodlet, a +2 "Supercharged" energized moodlet, and become singed. After the second time they get struck, they will gain the ability to summon lightning anywhere they choose. As with previous games, it is possible a Sim who gets struck by lightning consecutively or while singed will die from electrocution, though this is a rare occurrence. Carrying an umbrella may increase the chances of a Sim being struck.

Sims who are outdoors during a thunderstorm will become scared and will autonomously attempt to run indoors. Even when indoors, Sims will receive a weaker "Scared of Thunderstorms" moodlet for the duration of the storm. The scared Moodlet can be changed to a +1 happy moodlet if a Sim has the Storm Chaser Trait From The Rewards Store. If a Sim with the Storm Chaser trait or Erratic trait gets struck by lightning, they will also get a +3 "That Was Totally Awesome!" happy moodlet.

Lightning can also strike a Sim that begs for an apology from a holiday gnome. The lightning can hit indoors, and will not leave Sims singed.

If a player wants to avoid this death then you can find weather settings through Game Options > Environment > Seasons Rain Options: Rain or None

Oh, that's bad luck! I think I never had a sim die from lightning... severals were hit, but they managed somehow.
