I was able to have a lot of meteors until Generations was released and then the mod was outated So no more meteor for me once again. sigh If only someone updated that mod, a bit chaos is fun.

There was a discussion about this here. It seems for most people it's rare but for others it happens all the time.

This was my reply...

I have never had a meteor in my game...ever. My husband however got a meteor the first time he played after ambitions. Funny enough I am still looking for a unicorn...guess what happened the first time he played after pets.... I am not amused and to make it worse I also play more than him.

...still haven't had a meteor

, but I found a unicorn

So of course she has to run outside and see. It landed right on her front sidewalk. Thankfully, it didn't burn the house. I certainly hope I'm not going to become one of those where "it happens all the time". I don't think I'd like that.

It was established in the other thread that if your not getting them almost daily already you will probably be ok.

My first one ever was just after I installed Ambitions and I created a sim to try out the firefighter career... his first call was a meteor hitting a house. The 2nd one was an established family I was playing in a small player made world called Mapleton. No one was home thankfully but the house was gone. Third time was in HIdden Springs. I just installed it and just created a family, moved them into a lot, built the house and started decorating it. I went into live mode to save and BOOM!! Daddy died and half the house was singed. Talk about frustrated.... all that hard work down the toilet. Hasn't happened since I've installed Generations.

Think it may have been a glitch.

Then I installed Generations, and like I normally do with a new expansion pack, I made a new sim. Spent ages getting her just right in CAS, the perfect clothes, the perfect nose etc etc. Placed her in game, made the perfect house for her, nicely decorated etc. Started to play.......... She took one step outside of her new front door and got flattened by a falling meteor!! Perfect sim and perfect house gone in the blink of an eye! Boy was I mad at the time

I made this adorable couple who had their own band, and well, I finished decorating their apartment (awesom(e?)ly I might add) and they went to go practice at the Butterfly place and BAM! Dead within like 2 seconds. I didn't even save them before hand T_T

Link, please? I couldn't find any that isn't obsolete or that does the opposite. So please share.

Anyway I was fed up of waiting for that update, I watched a video tutorial on how to update old mods and updated the one from here - or at least the one flavor I used - haven't had much time to test it though.

Edit: My update worked! My test lot was wiped out by a huuuge meteorite! I made it! Huzzah

To make it a bit harder I lowered the time between the warning and the impact, from 30 minutes to 20, now sims have to run FAST to avoid it!

zhyzathn Lab Assistant Join Date: Aug 2010 Posts: 118	I have one neighborhood where the main house gets hit constantly...I'd never had one before pets. I thought it was a glitch, but it only happens there. She has a huge lot and a large pasture...and they always fall there. The first shower killed two of her neighbors who ran over to watch and destroyed all the jumps. I'd never seen one, so I had no idea what was about to happen when the "So and so notices it's starting to get dark." (I think it was one of the horses I was playing) and then wham! Meteors and fire everywhere, sims on fire, people dying, the unicorn trying to put the fire out. I dont have a meteor mod, but that house/pasture gets hit all the time.

The second time was pretty scary. I got the "sim wonders why it's so dark" message, so I sent her to somewhere where she'd be safe. Then, just as the meteor hit, she sprinted to her computer and the meteor JUST missed her. I was able to get her to the shower on time, so she survived, but it was too close for comfort.

She picked it up and it was initially worth 4k simoleons. Then she analyzed it and it was worth 8k. I had no idea that you could have meteors in the game that landed offsite.

I'm pretty sure that has been around since the base game.

I may be wrong though I can't remember (about 90% sure).

Because I've NEVER had a meteor hit my town and I've been playing this game for about 2 years...I mean does it happen during a certain generation? Could you be a little more specific?
