the '?' weather has happened before strangerville was anywhere near done, possibly even before they began working on it. the weather on those days shifts around like crazy, giving thunderstorms, sunsnow, sunshowers, hot, cold and more in a matter of hours. i've gotten those days in all worlds in the game, but they do seem to happen more often in oasis springs

It isn't just sudden changes in the weather...because I have thunderstorms turned off, there shouldn't be thunderstorms in my game if it is because of seasons ex-pack....what happens is that the thunderstorm happens.. and at some point a lightning bolt will strike the yard, and a piece of metal will appear where the lightning bolt hit.
The first time it happened, when the storm was done my sims went on about their routine of life. One sim put the clothes in the dryer, cleaned the lint trap, and turned on the dryer...it caught on fire my sim caught on fire everyone was panicking! You know that song and dance. a little later I noticed that there was a scorched area of the yard where lightning struck...and in the center of it was a piece of metal...I hovered over it and it had a strange discription..it was furium, and the description was that it was fiery and explosive...I clicked on it and it had an option to claim it. so I did, and the strange description went away. The second time it happened, the during the entire thunderstorm, the toddler was sad because of the thunderstorm...during the first one he was not. then I saw the lighting bolt hit the yard, and by golly there was a piece of metal in the yard, right where the bolt just hit! I hovered over it and it was sadnium, and it had a strange description as well until my sim claimed it.
I don't think I have to put spoiler on this because this happens even if you don't do the storyline.
