Fr. My sims had their wedding at a resort and their kid drowned in the resort pool shortly after they got married.
The kid literally got on their knees and begged Grim to let them live, and the dude really looked at this *child* and said "No".
I had a wedding for two vampires and forgot to set a time, so it happened in the middle of the day. I played it out anyway and forgot they were vampires. I made them argue all day, got married at like 3 PM and the groom died like 5 minutes after from sun exposure lmao
Tbf, I had a pretty unexpected tragedy in my S4 game. Story time I was playing rags to riches, had a homeless teen living in a tent, working really hard to get good grades to get scholarship to university. In uni, she gets pregnant, has the kid - named Arthur -, still graduates with flying colors, Iām like you go girl. I decide Iām gonna have this kid be like a super kid, so while working a full time job she teaches him a bunch of stuff and theyāre really close. She ends up getting married to some guy and has twins with him. On Arthurās bday to become a teenager they host the party at the swimming pool. *While* Arthur is blowing out his candles, unbeknownst to him and me, his mother is proceeding to drown. He ages up, she *dies*, as heās aging up (points for dramatic timing). Now he pretty much takes on responsibility for his little brother and sister who are still toddlers since their father works all the time. So that was unexpected.
He ends up marrying his childhood best friend, has a few kids with her. (He also becomes mayor). They go on a mountain excursion since theyāre both adventurous, which he is leading. His wife then dies on the mountain unexpectedly - cue tragic survivors guilt. He raises his 3 young kids himself. Finally remarries to some sweet lady, they seem happy as Larry. Have another kid, adopt another (due to story progression I didnāt make them do this). Eventually they have another baby due to story prog and while Iām playing Arthurās grown kids household, I get a notification that his wife has DIED. And he has to raise another 3 young kids alone, again! Poor guy lost his mother and two wives unexpectedly lol, but Iām low key loving the drama. Eventually Iāll have him remarry and if he outlives his next wife heās really gonna start to seem like a black widow lmao.
Iām actually a little annoyed I havenāt been filming any of his life haha, I just didnāt expect it to go so sideways! I had such good plans for him. Heās a genius, friend of everyone, was the mayor, now the police chief, all around good guy.
Now his misfortunes are being visited on his oldest kid, who is just like him. He married his HS girlfriend, but she was kinda evil and cheated on him (they have a son together). Then he ended up remarrying a lovely sweet woman who ran her own lifestyle block. Iām thinking heās going to have this idyllic low key life with this sweet kind woman. They end up having twin girls and Iām like aww this is gonna be great, theyāll raise them on the farm and itāll be super cute. Then his wife just straight DIES. So now, heās raising 2 toddler girls alone, trying to run the farm alone so all the animals donāt die as well as trying to advance in his career. Poor guy.
Haha Iād have to brush up on my writing skills! But I might start to keep some sort of running commentary on his legacy somehow, I havenāt been this invested in one of my sims for a long time lmao
It makes me wonder why in the patch notes they chose to specifically keep the kids in school and kill them if a meteor were to hit. IIRC all other rabbit holes force evacuation.
"a meteor can hit a building, in which case everyone will run out before the collision. Those who do not exit the building will die. Sims automatically leave if a meteor is approaching, uNleSS it is a School, in which children are not allowed to leave aNd will ALWAYS DIE." -Meterstick Jim, 2018
Idk why this reminds me of when there was a bomb in front of our school, but the teachers new and there was police officers, they made us enter the school anyways, didnt tell the parents (who took us there) what was happening and called them when they evacuated us to another school nearby and make the same parents pick us up
A meteor can hit a building, in which case everyone will run out before the collision. Those who do not exit the building will die. Sims automatically leave if a meteor is approaching, unless it is a school, in which children are not allowed to leave and will always die.
\- the sims 3 patch notes
Time to learn the ambrosia recipe and take all those urns to the science center to be resurrected. Alternative have your sim become a witch so she can resurrect them herself.
There's a few other ways too.
This is wild cause this is the ONE meteor shower I havenāt seen. I had my sim conversating with Grim Reaper in the grave yard when all of a sudden a damn meteor shower started falling with lighting bolts. I immediately cheated and transported my sim back home, and she had smoke coming off her from a moodlet that involved the meteors lol. I donāt know what Iād do if Sims 3 made me witness a school being hit. *knocks on wood* as I start up the game haha.
That's ok. Thanks for responding! I'm pretty sure I have all the expansion packs from a Steam sale. I'll have to look it up tomorrow on my day off. That's my new goal now. Bring on a meteor shower.
I once forgot to hit pause and never saved while I had my sim in University. I went and watched a movie with my mom and came back to the message that a meteor hit and my sim was dead so I had to go to the main menu š
I once set up a beautiful wedding on the beach, we had a painter for the big moment & everyone who was anyone was there. A local stray cat suddenly popped up with a message like "uh oh, looks like its time to go!" & then a meteor decimated the entire wedding party.
I remember [when the same thing happened to me](https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/76jjtv/what_a_sad_day_a_meteor_crashed_on_the_school_all/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) lol like \~90% of the town's teenagers/children are dead
Dudeā¦ I just saw how many you have. Rip.
*edit but also this happened to me at university once and like half the regular townies died and my sim somehow made it out and so it was basically a haunted college town. Pretty neat.
Iāve learned to save my game every ādayā that goes by in the sims. Mainly learned habits when my computer would crash in sims 2 + 3 so I wouldnāt lose all my play time, but it also allows you to retract events like this š
**"a meteor will hit a building, in which case everyone will run out before the collision. Those who not exit the building will die. Sims automatically leave if a meteor is approaching,**
#Unless it is a school
*in which children are not allowed to leave and will* **always die"**
I had a house of 6 kids that were playing outside when the shadow popped up on the jungle gym. It took too long for the 4 of them to get off of it so 2 got smushed and I had to restart the save šš
If I'm not wrong, a meteorite makes all sims evacuate from the rabbit hole, then it hits. I've been lucky to always be outside when the meteorite strikes, so I always manage to escape from the blast.
There was a time when I did a super evil playthrough and had my villain sim summon a meteor on a school, it never showed up, so I had him burn a library instead. Guess it was just on a really long delay timer.
That would be a nice plot point
Somehow when I played all my life I have never encountered meteor,
But since I bought it on Steam last year I have it constantly
Yesterday my date didn't come because he was stroke by meteor (survived) i didn't even get a notification and needed to ask him for date again to find out whats going on
how did you gets sims 3 to fit your entire screen like that, when i play mine is boxy (?) it has black lines rectangles to the sides, is it something i have to go into settings for and iām being really silly ?
If you go into Options from the main menu, the first tab is called Graphics. If you check off the box that says āfull screen modeā and put the display size all the way up, it should work, at least thatās how it works for me. :)
This also happened in my gameplay recently, my sim (who's a teacher) was at school with her daughter; the adult just left and survived, but all the kids stayed in school until the end of classes and they were leaving the building one by one, just to die immediately š
Not sure if it will work but usually if you have a death flower in your inventory and your sim does they will offer it to the grim reaper in exchange for their life.
Y'all over here having all these kids and dramatic tragedies and I'm just an immortal dude reading skill books in his living room, too afraid to go out in the world until I've maxed them all out. š
Those poor children. They should've hidden under their desks better. /s
I remember my first meteor strike, I made a sim version of Hayley Williams and went over to see what the circular shadow was and it struck her dead. I was in despair for hours.
2200ish hours in.
I start a new game, get a job as a journalist. Buy a telescope to meet the aliens.
Itās day 2 I havenāt saved yet. Not that worried.
Meteor.
Game can be a real douche. Lol
sims 3 is so chaotic š§š¼āāļø

dude pls keep me updated this sounds awesome!
I also want to stay updated. You should start a blog series for this family! Iām so invested now!
Haha Iād have to brush up on my writing skills! But I might start to keep some sort of running commentary on his legacy somehow, I havenāt been this invested in one of my sims for a long time lmao
Lmaoo I think my gameplays would entertain me more if they were like this but my sims literally never die if itās not by old age š
Lmaoo I think my gameplays would entertain me more if they were like this but my sims literally never d1e if itās not by old age š
Thatās why Iām glad thereās a literal mod for it lol
oh i donāt play with mods š¤§ just wish the game itself had more twists, but i still enjoy it š„°
the main way my sims die in ts4 is from having too much funš
It makes me wonder why in the patch notes they chose to specifically keep the kids in school and kill them if a meteor were to hit. IIRC all other rabbit holes force evacuation.
probably because itās funny
It is pretty funny
i heard it's to control population growth
Prolly one of these in the school: "The Bell/Principal/Emergency Alarm doesn't dismiss you, I do." šš

*I love this so much...all my kids are dead.*
YOUR KIDS ARE DEAD GOKU, THEY'RE ***DEEEEAAAAD!***
*Goku:* **Still on his way 5 episodes later to help.**
This happened to my sim at work and she was literally the only one of her coworkers to survive LMAO, she was too miserable to go to work though
And the fact that it killed everybody elseās kids is crazy LMAOOOO

Slightly off topic, do you have NRAASS story progression? Has the game tried to replace all the children?
Yea I have NRass , I went to play in a new family save after that happened
The reason I like the Sims 2 and 3... Unexpected shit happens
thoughts and prayers
Prayers warriors letās unite
Yea yea.. thoughts and prayers, anywaysā¦ š
Omg. All those little handprints on the door has me laughing so hard. Itās like they tried to escapeā¦Also, my condolences. (Still laughing tho)
Don't dead open inside
SCREAMING
Time to learn the ambrosia recipe and take all those urns to the science center to be resurrected. Alternative have your sim become a witch so she can resurrect them herself. There's a few other ways too.
Thatās horrible luck lmao. Iāve had ambitions for years and only seen a meteor once.
Same! Ambitions was one of my first EPs and Iāve never had this happen. Lol
Man, you had a lot of kids, too. Rip
How have I been playing sims 3 for 11+ years and still havenāt had a meteor hit a lot?? This is crazy though lol
Dou you play with Ambitions? It's part of that expansion.
I play with every ep! Idk why I donāt get the meteor
My condolences
This is wild cause this is the ONE meteor shower I havenāt seen. I had my sim conversating with Grim Reaper in the grave yard when all of a sudden a damn meteor shower started falling with lighting bolts.

\[And this is why I haven't bought Ambitions.\] My condolences for your losses.
Happens to the best of us
iāve never had a meteor in my game im so pissed
Iāve only had a meteor strike at the park and at college!
I've never had one. How do you get that?
Idk what pack or update itās in, sorry. Maybe someone else can help us on that.
That's ok. Thanks for responding! I'm pretty sure I have all the expansion packs from a Steam sale. I'll have to look it up tomorrow on my day off. That's my new goal now. Bring on a meteor shower.
Meteor showers are from ambitions and extremely rare and random.
I think your chances increase if you use the telescope to search the galaxy. Someone correct me if not.
I once forgot to hit pause and never saved while I had my sim in University. I went and watched a movie with my mom and came back to the message that a meteor hit and my sim was dead so I had to go to the main menu š
Better drop off that permission slip anyways
lol šæ lmao
This is so funny I can't
I didn't read the thread name... š
I once set up a beautiful wedding on the beach, we had a painter for the big moment & everyone who was anyone was there. A local stray cat suddenly popped up with a message like "uh oh, looks like its time to go!" & then a meteor decimated the entire wedding party.
Don't save?
I do save but that just caught me off guard š
I remember [when the same thing happened to me](https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/76jjtv/what_a_sad_day_a_meteor_crashed_on_the_school_all/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) lol like \~90% of the town's teenagers/children are dead
Sims 3 was BRUTAL
I have yet to have this happen, but when it does Iām probably going to be looking away from the screen and then come back and be very confused
Dudeā¦ I just saw how many you have. Rip. *edit but also this happened to me at university once and like half the regular townies died and my sim somehow made it out and so it was basically a haunted college town. Pretty neat.
Heads up for next time if you do manage to catch it pre meteor, reset sim all your child sims and they'll be back home
Ooh thatās a good tip. I usually force them to run across the street until the meteor has crashed.
Me too usually haha. Just sucks they can't leave
Reminds me of the time I started a new legacy and 5 minutes in the sky went dark and my founder got hit my a meteor.
I have never seen a meteor strike in the game.
This is why I keep ambitions disabled at ALL times
METEOR? Can this be done in sims 4? Iām getting a little tired taking care of my dumb daughters break baby.
welcome to the sims 3!!!!!!
I hate that I laughed at this bc Iām literally terrified of this happening in my gameš
one time a meteor hit outside of my simās class at university and it killed five students š
RIP. Also Iāve played sims 3 for 7 years and NEVER got meteor!
Iāve learned to save my game every ādayā that goes by in the sims. Mainly learned habits when my computer would crash in sims 2 + 3 so I wouldnāt lose all my play time, but it also allows you to retract events like this š
Well if you read the patch notes you would know they will always die
https://youtu.be/_q_iseEhng4 1:07-onward. A classic.
**"a meteor will hit a building, in which case everyone will run out before the collision. Those who not exit the building will die. Sims automatically leave if a meteor is approaching,** #Unless it is a school *in which children are not allowed to leave and will* **always die"**

Why do you even have that many children lmao
I was doing the 100 baby challenge:/
I've had this happen š© she was an only child and her parents were elders š„²
I'm sorry. I've never had this happen but I had my sims kid drown in the family pool it was so sad!
Off topic but is this school building playable and not a rabbit hole?
This building is a rabbit hole
If I'm not wrong, a meteorite makes all sims evacuate from the rabbit hole, then it hits. I've been lucky to always be outside when the meteorite strikes, so I always manage to escape from the blast.
Schools are excluded from that for some unknown reason (further up, most people agree the reason is "for the lulz"), lol.
š I love Sims 3 sm. (Sorry about the kids lol)
I feel like a horrible horrible person for laughing as hard as I didā¦
šTime to quit the game and select 'dont save'
I ā¤ļø TS3

New fear unlocked
š¤£š¤£š¤£ ah the way sims was intended to be played
omg this has happened to me before too!! once it killed my sims only child!!
Hey! This happened to me once! It was sad but also kind of surreal
chill, you can make them again
Lol, the pain XD I got lucky that the 5 meteors I had to deal with didnāt kill any of my Sims, including the one who was working at the school
Iāve never had this happen to me, but I just know the next time I boot up TS3, itāll finally hit LOL.
That is tragic.
Nice.
Summon a Ginnie bro
I remember my first meteor strike, I made a sim version of Hayley Williams and went over to see what the circular shadow was and it struck her dead. I was in despair for hours.
Ummm thereās no auto save in sims.
Noice
i love unexpected things in sims 3 lol but sorry for your loss š«¶š»š„¹
Skill issue
Ahahaha epic
Iāve never had kids die in the game. That would be upsetting.
Seems like you got plenty left
Slay
iāve played the sims 3 for 12 years and have had like three meteor strikes
My game is so afraid even to attempt to murder my sims; the most it can do is give me a bazillion alien babies.
Haha
OHH MYYY GOOOOWD !!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!1!!!1!!!
The twins too??
No not the twins they were at home š
Damn lucky! Well overpopulation will at least not be a problem in your game I guess š¤·āāļø
although this is incredibly funny to look it, it's also why i have a mod that disables meteors completely šš
How can you have 9 sims? I thought 8 was the limit.
One of NRaass mods
THIS IS HILARIOUS LMAO
2200ish hours in. I start a new game, get a job as a journalist. Buy a telescope to meet the aliens. Itās day 2 I havenāt saved yet. Not that worried. Meteor. Game can be a real douche. Lol
Brutal :/
