Autonomous weather forecasts
Lythdan:
My tree that got struck by lightning and set on fire went out by itself as well. I think it has something to do the rain, not with any mods.
KatEnigma:
The rain is supposed to put out fires caused by lightning. I get scolded by the fire department too, but I'm not removing my outside smoke detector. I've had too many Nannies decide to grill and start fires for that. Besides, some day I might want to test the Rain of Fire. ;D
The lightning rod doesn't seem to do anything. ::)
I've had several lightning strikes and no fire outtages. I don't think they put it into the game. It's probably just as well.

I'm still so new to this EP. I didn't know there even was a lightening rod.
LOL, Brynne, I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. I swear I saw a mention of a lightning rod last week, so I looked for one in the game and found zilch, so I decided it was a spoof, a hoax, or a mod. I also searched for lightning (and lightening -- damned english and its variable spelling!) rods without much success. Today is the first reference I've seen to it since last week. Either I'm not getting out enough (in BB land) or I'm living in a solipsist world of my own. ::)
dizzy:
If you get a lightning strike a tree right at the end of a storm, the tree will burn to the ground.
In my case, it happened in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, so it burned the tree as well as the artificial rocks sitting next to it. :D
miramis:
The lighting rod is under Decorative/Miscellaneous, and is towards the very end. I'm not sure how well it works though, I've planted several around my lot now at various heights and my poor willow tree (and gnomes) still get struck. The rain always seems to put it out for me, but I can see where a strike right at the end of the storm will cause problems. I shall have to install fire alarms outside after all. It's a good idea anyway with sims going up in flames all over the shop.
P.S. Brynne, that avatar is quite scary :D
