I have had only one. In my game, they seem to be too easy to avoid. Warnings are given, time is given, nothing seems a surprise or a shock - except the once, when my sim got killed by the Murphy bed just after that pack was released. I think they nerfed it later when people moaned, to add less chance, make it more easy to avoid etc. Even going tomb raiding or swimming with sharks isn't dangerous. So many things have been nerfed in this game.
The trouble is, when you've got a sim out looking through the telescope and it warns you a meteor is coming, it kind of feels wrong to ignore that warning. It has taken the surprise away, so if you let your sim die anyway it is more like a deliberate act on your part. I want to be surprised. I mean, there is always an option to quit without saving, so why can't they just allow a bit more randomness?
I agree with you, I too want to be surprised and not have an option to avoid it with a warning.
I've had one sim die accidentally on campus when she was fiddling with robotics and got zapped a few too many times, I ignored the warnings that were very vague at the time lol, and since I didn't want her to die I just reloaded an earlier save.
But now recently the dad in my sim family was looking at the stars and the warning to better go inside cause he saw a meteor coming had me make him go inside, cause as you said otherwise it feels like you're just letting it happen deliberately instead of a sudden accident.
There should be an option in game settings whether or not you want death warnings, so those who wants total elements of surprise can have it and those who don't can be without.
