New Meteorite Death

For some reason, the death trait is missing a picture, name, and description. Even the death name is missing in the genealogy panel. Is it just me?

Death action is Death by Meteorite though.

Ghosts who die this way will get hit by a meteor every day. Same animation as death, but the ghost gets up afterwards. Plus that meteorite object won't show up.

It seems to randomly happen when a sim uses the telescope. They'll get a scared moodlet that last for about 15 sim-minutes. If sim isn't indoors when it expires, they'll die.

But I wonder how random it is... @kusurusu , sorry for asking constantly, but what are the chances of a sim getting hit by a meteorite?

But yeah, this is the second death to come from a patch (the first was drowning).

That's a high precision wipeout, love how she just stands there waiting for the meteorite to fall. And Grim Reaper is there to actually witness it all. :lol:

He already knew it was inevitable. May as well be early and watch the show.

And I found this in debug. Description is *chef's kiss* - Meteorite is a total diva.

This is so ridiculous, I love it. More stuff like this please, Sims team.

Re frequency of death by meteorite.

Looks like I have a new way to kill off sims who are no longer narratively necessary...

Hmm… wonder if you can make using the telescope as a club rule :)

oooh! fun! didn't sims 2 have that? I might be wrong.

Kind of, but you didn't have to use the telescope for it to happen, it would happen when they were lying on the ground looking at the sky.

I always disliked how much work you had to put into some deaths in Sims 4. Like you have to be struck by lightning at least twice to die, you have to go out of your way to force your spellcasters to die by overloading, and a lot of other deaths have a warning moodlet. There was little surprise because you had to actively try and kill your sims. If this meteorite death is this random thing that can happen, that adds a lot of unpredictability and uniqueness. It's great.

It's so amusing to me that everyone is getting so very excited everytime a new death is introduced while my first thought is always: "Oh no! Not ANOTHER death that I have to prevent by avoiding things or getting a mod to get rid of it."
I don't know...I want my Sims to live their best life and not to be killed by looking at the stars... :#

This really seems dangerous because the Sim has only a few seconds to go inside...
