Default Death By Meteor
So I'm thinking to uninstall Ambitions, because I rarely ever use it. The only thing I like with it is the inventing part and the death by meteor.

I have ITF installed, and I also got a mod that increases the chance of getting hit by a meteor that is designed for Ambitions. Apparently meteor showers will only appear in Dystopian Oasis Landing, but is there a way to then make it that there are also chances no matter what world you're playing in?

Also, do you get the death by meteor if you install Seasons? Aliens can summon meteors, but does installing Seasons bring the random chance of death by meteor?

I love it. I love unexpected elements. It's a life simulator, so anything that is a bit tragic and sudden I enjoy. I never quit without saving.

I would leave the building alone! I need to give one of my sims that trait. I forget how fun that is!

I was curious and decided to blow up an arcade machine in an underground arcade. It turned out to be a huge mega terrorist explosion that wiped out 1/2 the arcade. I laughed and it was funny.... until I realized, zomg... I have to rebuild the whole arcade!


Sims with pyro trait can blow things up!? I thought only Inventors with the inventing skill from the Ambitions EP could!?

I do know that they can put things on fire though duh

I've never even had a death by meteor that wasn't helped along by one of my aliens I thought it was a myth. I've had ambitions installed for years.

It's certainly not a myth. >< It'll happen when you least expect it... Ugh, bad experience...

But like ZenGarden, I like unexpected elements in the game and let it happen anyway.

Yeah I thought it was a myth too until I was playtesting a lot I just finished building and a meteor came down and wrecked all my work. Good thing I saved right before that or else I'd probably have been crying instead of laughing. But yeah random tragedy in the game is a-okay with me too.

I was playing a legacy once and my heir had just moved out to her own house. I decided that she would visit the house her parents lived in, aswell as she had grew up in. While knocking the door, boom a giant meteor crashes over her, wrecking the house aswell. Legacy over.

What? I'm pretty sure the ability to blow things up came with Ambitions. I really, really want to keep having the ability to blow up things but it's not enough to keep Ambitions installed

Blowing things up comes with Inventing. I don't think you have to have worked on the inventor's bench to get the option, but maybe you do.

You have to get a certain number of inventing skill points before you can unlock the ability to detonate the fuck out of everything. Can't remember what number though huehuehue and can't see shit on the wiki.

Okay, that sounds right. But I think the number is low, which is why I was unsure that you had to have them at all.

There are mods that makes the chances of a meteor bigger/smaller if you'd like. The basic chances of ever seeing a meteor hitting something in the game are already slim as it is, in Sims Wiki it's described as nearly impossible.
