[20] Non-Killing Disasters
This section is about disasters that can change your Sims life but won't kill
them. There are several things like abduction and burglars that can change
their life. Sure beats getting killed but it is better that you avoid the same
accident that are list below because as a matter of fact, most of these
accidents can be created by you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[20.01] Abduction
Abduction is when your Sim stargazes with a telescope during the time of 7pm
and 2am. This is a rare event and doesn't always happen. Its not a glitch so
don't fret about it. When your Sim is abducted, your Sim's needs will be moved
around so if you have a full energy and a low bladder bar, you might be going
to pass out with a full bladder.
When your Sim is abducted, only your male Sim will be pregnant. Your female
Sim will have to use the "Try for Baby" option. It is a normal pregnant person
so after 3 days, your Sim will give birth to an alien kid, usually with black
eyes and green skin. It is just like any other Sim, except it is an alien
looking Sim.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[20.02] Breaking Stuff
Sometimes your Sim's get a little excited with equipment. Then they break it.
Or otherwise screw it up so you can't use it anymore. This is a tragic ending
to the otherwise fine piece of equipment. Most times like computers can be
fixed by your Sims and by the repairman or repairwoman. If you have high
Mechanical skill, you can fix the object easily, but if you fail look at the
section below on electrocution. These are the objects that can be broken can
how you fix it. The ones that will zap you are marked.
Trash Compactor - Repair - ZAP
Dishwasher - Repair - ZAP
Toilet - Unclog
Piano - Tune
Computer - Repair - ZAP
Stereo - Repair - ZAP
Bath - Repair
Shower - Repair
Grandfather Clock - Maintain
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[20.03] Burglars
Would you like someone stealing your hard-earned furniture? Well, every so
often, a burglar will come in between 10pm and 4am usually when your Sims are
fast asleep with a ZZZ over their heads. The burglar will enter your house,
go through a few rooms and take your most expensive stuff. He will take up to
5 items tops. If you have a burglar alarm (you are very stupid not to have
one), the burglar will panic and try to run. When the alarm sounds, the cops
will arrive and try to arrest the guy.
If the cops see the burglar, they will fight the burglar (why can't they just
shoot them with a pistol or rifle or something?). This is the same as if you
did, Attack and Fight (except you can't use it). If the burglar wins, he
escapes and you won't see him again for a while. If the cop wins, the burglar
is arrested and you receive §500 reward money and if he stole something from
you, you get the depreciated value of the object not a replacement from your
Sim's insurance company (I guess that they don't have a old for new policy).
It also seems that you can free the burglar when he is arrested. You can free
him with the cop just gives you the reward money. When he does, click on the
cop car and when you do, open the rear door. When you let the burglar escape,
you get a double + relationship with the burglar but when the cop realises
what you have done, you will get a double - relationship with the cop as they
are pissed they have to fight someone while they are trying to steal something
from you only to be realised by the potential victim.
Both buy and build mode are disabled so you can't so anything to get the
objects away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[20.04] Flooding
Flooding is when you have a leaking object like a toilet and it is broken. The
object leaks and waters freely flows. This leaves puddles everywhere and you
lose on the environment score severely. If you don't fix the problem, the
water will leak throughout the house and will eventually appear outside. To
fix this problem, mop up the leaks and fix the broken leaking object.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[20.05] Pass Out
Passing out is when your Sim runs out of gas, which means your Sim has a
energy bar that is fully red. They will fall asleep on the spot. This will
cause them to slowly regain their energy at the expense of comfort. Your Sim
will block the way of others and if their is a burglar and your Sim is on the
doorway, the burglar can't get in. That has happened to me once and it is
funny.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[20.06] Pee Pants
Doing a piss in your pants is not a funny thing what so ever. So your Sims
will not be very pleased with themselves if they pee their pants. Your Sim
will only do this if your bladder is completely red and they can't reach a
toilet. They pee their pants or rather have an accident and their hygiene
in return for have a green bladder will be completely red. This will leave
a puddle on the floor.
