If the lot was bigger I'd put some water in it and make it a pond. I haven't had one this save, but I'm waiting for it.
I moved them to an entirely new house That one was a starter and my sim had just gotten married so I was getting ready to move to a bigger home anyway. The meteor just sped that up
@StephSteb I was just looking for the pics I took. The sims in the yard are neighbours. My sims were safely inside because I moved them as soon as I got the warning! Sorry you lost your sims
Joe, who was a child, had been painting right beside where the big meteor fell. He would have died for sure!
Great photos I had JUST finished making my sims and had been playing for a whole 15 minutes when POW! everyone but the dad sim GONE! That was a fun day googling to figure out what in the world just happened
I am so envious.
I have yet to experience one in the five years I've been playing.
If a message pops up that says ".... is wondering why the sky got dark" RUN as far away from wherever you are immediately If you like mods, NRaas Debug Enabler can trigger meteors. I never want meteors, though, so I don't use it. I would say I hope you get one soon but....that sounds mean
@StephSteb I will keep that in mind. :D I want to experience a meteor shower, but not lose one of my sims to one. If I wanted a ghost sim that died from one, I would just make one in CAS. lol I am took attached to my sims, though. <3

I've been playing since 2012, no natural meteor strikes ever. I'm still waiting.
I don't mind cheating things in the game that I don't really consider cheating if I need it to happen for a story, but I would like to have an unexpected one occur first. So, not pushing that Nraas button for a meteor strike.
I don't particularly want to lose a sim either, but that is what quit is for and why I use the saveas feature. lol
Man, those meteors are huge! I got a strike right away when I first got Ambitions but then played for years without another. Then all of a sudden, while in Roaring Heights, it said "the sky is getting dark". I managed to move my Sim just in time. Made a lot of money that day.
It is a scary thing when it happens. You just know someone is going to die.
I remember this so vividly that it's funny:
My sim in an old save was in his garden when that pop-up appeared. He was killed before I switched to him, as I'd been controlling his wife at the time.

I just had my first meteor ever in 9 years of playing!!! Very exciting. It took out both my tractors and some of my garden, though. :'(
Question: I picked up the meteor rocks and can't find anything else to clean up, but my sims are still getting the "filthy surroundings" moodlet in the area the meteor landed. I replaced everything that got broken, and didn't see any ashes when I erased my terrain paints. Any idea what I may have missed
@luellacorliss That happened to me too. I ended up replacing 1/3 of the lot, so a whole entire huge wrap around porch and side of (+2 squares into) the entire house, and driveway. They did not look burned/damaged At All. But my simies still complained. I think my sims must have thought it still smelled scorched! lol
If they're getting the moodlet then there definitely is something still around that is scorched. There could be scorched flooring under a kitchen cabinet or even stairs. I had that happen to me, though it wasn't from a meteor strike, it was from a starting scenario. I couldn't do anything about cleaning under the stairs, so I started over and rejected the scenario.
If your sim is neat, have them clean the house, and watch them. If not, hire a maid. If they go to clean something and throw a fit about not being able to get somewhere, you will know where the problem is. Hopefully, you'll be able to move something in buy mode so they can mop under it.
@luellacorliss There's probably some scorched floor under a rug or something. Try what @IreneSwift suggested, that's how I found all of the spots. I was really bummed to lose my garden but it also pushed me to move to a bigger place with a bigger garden
@emorrill I don't want them, either. Thanks so much for the mod suggestion, @KevinL5275
Thank you all for your help! @DivaDoodle @IreneSwift @StephSteb
It was the fence around my garden. It didn't looked scorched or have a replace option, so I ignored it at first, but once I deleted it and built a new one, the moodlet was gone.
I have to say the meteor experience was super exciting for me! Glad to know the game can still surprise me. It's possible this has unleashed a new meteor monster on my unsuspecting sims... :D

Lol, the first time it happened it took out 2 of my sims! I had no idea that when that message popped up it meant RUN!

Definitely interesting and fun. I've never had anything hold my attention as long as Sims 3 has

I just love the little synchronized dance they do when they're terrified.
Yup...in Nikkei_Simmer's Riverview...life will never...EVER...be the same.

I'd mod them out if it's possible.

@emorrill Yes NRaaS Retuner will allow you to remove meteors.
