Deadly expensive hot tubs
MissDoh:
I was not aware since Seasons playable sims can actually die while on a community lots! And I have pics to prove it. It can happen to non-playable too btw.
I sent a sim on a community lot on which there is an expensive hot tub. A thunderstorm started and sure as hell my sim got hit by lighting not once but twice to make sure it would finish it off... I post about that on another site but I was curious to see if it was a hack I was not aware doing that so I removed all my downloads and try it again. :P
And it happened again and this time I took pics. The grim reaper came, the pop-up asking if I wanted to go back and change the odds did come too but I could not do anything, the option were blanked... but the weirdest is that the sim that died turned into a ghost, changed into everyday clothes (because it was in a swimsuit when it was hit by lightning) head to its car and drove back home! ::) WTF is that... Once the residential lot load, the car appeared from the left side of the lot instead of the right side and was empty... it just kind of parked itself, it was really spooky and no sim ever came out of the car. And the sim did officially died since even without saving the residential lot, the sim was not there anymore.
The odds of sims getting struck by lightning is ridiculously high while they are in a hot tub. So far my average is 100% (on comunitly lots, I did not test on residential lot yet) whenever a thunderstorm starts, I barely have time to move them out of the tub! I did put lightning finial in hope it would help but it did not change a thing. Sure as hell the lightning always hit the hot tub. I want to remind you I had NO hack or mod at all in game when I took those pics.
Is this some kind of silly joke Maxis put on us? Can this be fix with a mod? Cand the odds be reduced in any way? I do not like that so many sims can die now.
Here are the pics:
I really hope something can be done at least in regards of the odds.

I'm surprised Squinge doesn't have a hack for this ;)
MissDoh:

Sacre bleu, Miss Doh! That's a rough go!
Mental note: hot tubs on comm lots only where there are annoying Sims I definitely want to get rid of.

My next test is with the regular hot tubs on community lots and then on residential lots to see if the odds are as high.
If I would have let it go, at least 2 playables and 5 unplayables would have died already. But the thing is, my townies are selfsims and I do not wish for them to die and certainly not that horrible way.
EDIT: They seem to be well protected against heat stroke while on community lots though, my sim can stay in the hot tub for 5 hours if not more without any chance of it consuming. ::) I will not try that on a residential lot without Pescado warmth fix in though.
EDIT2: The odds are the same with the regular hot tubs on community lots.. 3 townies got hit my lightning and died and silly them after one died they are just heading in hot tub while the thundestorm is not over like if they would wish to die.. Silly sims!! Silly Maxis EA!! I guess my only option for now is to remove all the hot tubs from my community lots until a fix can be done if this is at all possible. I sure hope the odds are not the same if they are in swimming pool while a thunderstorm starts! :o ???
