Has the Sims Gone Nuclear On Me?

[Chaavik]

These three screenshots made me think they went nuclear on me.  It was actually the lightning striking my ghost resident's gravestone, and she *poofed*. I was speechless, wondering if I will lose her or not.

This was the first time I saw anything like this in all the time I played Sims 2. It was sort of funny, but scary because the ghost happened to be my favorite Sim who met her unfortunate demise through her mom. Let's just say her mom had a bite in the girl's untimely death. (with Shaklin's vampire mod installed).


When the lightning struck...


Where the lightning struck...


Ooops is that water puddle by the gravestone?

Wow that's definitely one for the X-files.  I though you were at least safe from lightening after death .  Did she roll a "stuck by lightening" want or something?

Though that never happened to me, I do not have much gravestone in my game yet, I remember reading gravestone can be hit by lightning which will make the ghost come to haunt and be angry.

I wonder if chances of this happening are increase if you happen not to have trees or a ligthning rod or a telescope or stuff like that on your lot.  I will try to experiment since I would love to see this happening in my game. 

You were quite quick into hitting that pause button lol.  Great pics!
