Deadly expensive hot tubs
trancejeremy:
Yeah, a gazebo or roof is the safest way to go, because even if you reduce access, if you don't pay attention for a minute, the weather can change and "zap" a sim is dead. Just now, I was away for a minute, wasn't raining when I left, got back, and found the Grim Reaper paying a visit. D'oh.
J. M. Pescado:
If you cut off access, I fail to see how sims can get in there at all.
BambuLimey:
I had a sim hit by lightning on a community lot, whilst waiting for the taxi home by the payphone. Prior to the strike, his energy was just about totally red, with other motives at yellow or higher.
He did not die, however. His bladder and hygiene motives were totally trashed, but his energy motive leapt up to about 0 (half-full). Other motives may have been reduced, but not drastically.
I didn't think too much about it at the time (after all, Sims supposedly can't die on a community lot), but having read this thread, it seems odd that he didn't die, if c/lot deaths have been enabled.
Just another case of Eaxian logical coding, I guess.

My point was, just reducing access to a sims hot tub isn't good enough, you also have to watch them like a hawk when they are in a hot tub because a storm can spring up suddenly, and zap, they are dead.
Unless you completely cut off their using the hot tub entirely, at which point why did you even buy one?
Venusy:
Does putting the hot tub indoors stop lightning from striking it, or is EAian coding so borked that lightning can strike it anywhere at any time? I'd check myself, but the game doesn't run so well on this computer (combination of Vista, 512MB of RAM, and a graphics card that is listed as having "oddly poor performance" (or something along those lines) in Graphics Rules.sgr).

As far as I can tell by reading the thread, they only die from it if they were in the hot tub at the time.
