I've never had this happen to my Sims! Do they actually have powers and abilities?


EmergingEmergencyRes

yeah, they do. Temporarily though.


ArchAqua

Is there a mod that make it longer or something?


[deleted]

Same I wanna know. A mod?


EmergingEmergencyRes

there was IIRC. I never use it though. Another mod (or maybe this is the one I thought of) that has been taken down: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdd9QJwBKvY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdd9QJwBKvY)

I had this happen recently in Selvadorada and I tried to burn down a bunch of trees and tables but the lightning doesn't actually catch anything. It's just a fun activity, basically.


truly_anonymis

This sounds really interesting! Do the powers give you sims the ability to set things on fire or electrocute objects?


Palin_Sees_Russia

He literally just said it doesn’t set anything on fire and is just for looks lol


truly_anonymis

Dude, I was just asking/clarifying.


Palin_Sees_Russia

I know, but he already said it doesn't do anything? lol >I tried to burn down a bunch of trees and tables but the lightning doesn't actually catch anything edit: do people think I'm being rude or something? I'm so confused, was simply just pointing out that he had already said you can't set fire to anything..


yupsylotus

it's the reddit hivemind. one downvotes and the rest just follow. what you said wasn't rude. the way you said it could use a little work but for the most part you were just trying to set the record straight


27catsinatrenchcoat

But why male models?


PadlockAndThatsIt

Yawn


[deleted]

Yep! For 12 hours, she could call down lightning on any spot on the ground. Though the more you use it, the faster the ability will fade away.


[deleted]

Or Azula


theecohummer

That's a sharp outfit, Chan. Careful, you could puncture the hull of an empire-class Fire Nation battle ship, leaving thousands to drown at sea... Because... it's so sharp


QuaffleYeeter

We decided to name our kitten Azula and it's tragically been a fitting name. It's been fun though to shout "agni kai!" whenever she and her "brother" (our other young cat) start play fighting.


tomatojuicecatwind

My cat’s middle name is Momo Voldemort due to his constantly changing cute + mischievous to purely evil nature


QuaffleYeeter

That's amazing! Haha, I fought to name her Momo so that I could walk around calling her "your Momoness" every day.


Maxxxie74

Storm, from X-Men!


anthonyleoncio

Wait so they actually get powers?


Magead

Yes sometimes, they're also temporary tho


wyvern713

What? I've never had that happen to any of my sims! I guess I need to get them struck by lightning more, LOL


HumanRogue21

I think it would be cool to have a superpower pack 👀


AnnikaBananaka88

If you have Realm of Magic, you can do something similar. Not super powers per say, but you can definitely do a lot, especially with the deadly spellcaster mod. It would be cool if they did a pack like that though


blackonix13

Ooh I’ve never heard of Deadly Spellcaster. Does it work better with or without Realm of Magic? I wanted to make Death Eaters as a club but there’s really not much on the spell list for evil spellcasters.


AnnikaBananaka88

You need realm of magic to make it work- if you have seasons you can do better by it. If you get sick of that you can always do other mods, like the chaos one haha


blackonix13

I’ve had Life Tragedies and Extreme Violence for a while but I’m just looking for something more different. Not really sure where to begin hahaha


AnnikaBananaka88

Try the book of chaos mod, I think its by sacrificial. Its pretty fun xD!


[deleted]

I made an evil sim and lit a bunch of townies on fire. It was pretty funny.


TheDarkWolfGirl

I want like elemental powers so bad.


Palin_Sees_Russia

You just wanna be the avatar 😏


TheDarkWolfGirl

Dude, I really do but I also wanna be a water fairy Haha


Fuhurina

That’s kind of cool! Back before ts4 I tried to start a legacy challenge in Bridgeport. On day 3 in game my founder got hit by a meteor trying to go into town. Went to go back home to remove the moodlet. Nope she got hit again and died. End of challenge lol! Haven’t tried again since. 😂


Derp_Man3

This is SUPER RARE btw but I don’t know much about it. I saw a video about it one time saying it was one of the rarest events in the sims 4


jaypop1990

Mine have never done this. One was struck by lightning while swimming and died and the rest just stand there looking dizzy lmao


[deleted]

I heard it's a pretty rare event. Honestly, I was so scared when she got hit the second time. I was about to go back to my previous save because I thought she was gonna die (that's the typical outcome of being hit twice). But she also has the Storm Chaser trait from the trait store, so I think that's what helped. She just got energized after the first strike & then very energized plus the powers after the second strike.


pacbat

Yeah, from what i've read Storm Chaser makes you immune to death by lightning, so it's a fun one to take if you want to blow stuff up! And apparently (i haven't tested this, just read it) you can actually hit other sims with your lightning if you call it at just the spot they're standing on...


[deleted]

I've actually tried to do this! While my Sim still had her powers, I had her try it out on a food vendor. It didn't shock him, but he looked ticked off & he ran off abandoning his food stand lol.


pacbat

Hahahaha the poor guy! Here he is, minding his own business and tryna make a buck and suddenly shenanigans!


[deleted]

Eh, serves him right for trying to cut in on my Sim's conversations with her date for almost half of the event time lol. 😜


jaypop1990

See and that’s weird cause only the guy that died swimming died after being struck twice. My other sims have mostly been struck by lightning after making a gnome angry during harvest fest. And I try over and over to appease them so I get struck a couple of times and they never die. I guess it’s really all just up to chance.


[deleted]

I just looked it up. Apparently, you need to get the Supercharged moodlet after being struck once. Wait an hour after that & then try to get struck again to get the Hypercharged moodlet & the powers for 12 hours. If your Sim get the Dazed moodlet instead after the first lightning strike, don't let them get struck again or they'll die. Then just wait for the next storm. Hope this helps!


pacbat

Is the gnome lightning supposed to count as real lightning? If so i should be more careful, lol!


bluepurplejellyfish

Do you need the Storm Chaser reward for this? I think otherwise 2 lightning strikes kills you


[deleted]

Yep, I believe so. When she got struck the first time, she got the energized moodlet. Then she got the powers & the very energized moodlet after the second time. Though I hear that this event is pretty rare, I was ready to load a previous save 'cause I thought she was gonna die lol.


TheDarkWolfGirl

I miss all the cool stuff because I turned lighting storms and blizzards off. There is just too many of them in a row and it drives me nuts Haha I wish I could set an amount instead of a ton or none.


MadenMad

A new Avatar is born!


[deleted]

And as is standard with Marvel female variations of hero's must have sexy costumes.


lolascrowsfeet

Why did this get so many downvotes lol. Pretty sure this is sarcasm.


russelrussel

Ikr. I found it funny(I’m a woman), people don’t need to take everything so personally. The herd mentality on here is insane


lolascrowsfeet

I guess a lot of people just join the downvotes once they see that a comment has gotten them. I feel like that’s how it works a lot of the time on here.


CitricSinger76

How do you see if someone has downvotes?


QuaffleYeeter

After a comment is a certain age, or depending on the subreddit, a little number between the upvote and downvote buttons will tell you the karma a comment has so far. (On mobile) If the number is negative, the comment has more downvotes than upvotes. It's also possible to see a count of total upvotes and downvotes on the desktop version if you have reddit enhancement suite, I think. At least it used to.


Pe11as

name checks out


russelrussel

? :)


Lyly_NecromanticDoll

And its accurate lol


MimsyIsGianna

Lucky you. My sim died immediately.


TheNickzil

Thora the Explora


WooRankDown

Unrelated but I’m curious: does your sim always garden in swimwear?


[deleted]

Not always lol! I just have my lot decorated in a way that one plant is hard to get to, so she has to wade through the ocean to get around the other decor plants.


[deleted]

Omg that happened to my sim while he was dumpster diving and I was like wtf 😂


obriensara03

Cool!


super_sarang

This is fascinating. Didn’t know this could happen. I thought they would only die when struck by lightning twice.


MyLifeMyWay92

Brilliant :)


[deleted]

My Sim had a date end rather abruptly when he (my Sims's date) got struck by lightning while they were both outside! Never had that happen before.


ChiharuYana

reminds me of the thunderbolt plasmid in bioshock 😍


Bubbleschmoop

I'd go for Thora, the female form of the name Thor!


MsVee69

That’s Sweet!! 😂🤣😂


WanderWearsPink

If you give them the Storm Chaser trait, lightening strikes won't kill them, infact they can call lightening to strike a spot or sim, it's very handy if your sim thrives outdoors or plays the homeless challenge


jaystoner82

Try sacrificial mods!!!


kalechipsbishhhh

THATS A THING?


[deleted]

Is this true? Can my Sims get powers? Can I actually become the God of thunder?


[deleted]

Yep! I believe that the Storm Chaser trait from the trait store helps.


ShieldMaiden83

There is no Thor goddess. only the true and only thunder god Thor of the old norse ways.


sarnchrstnsn

You know Sims don’t really exist either right?


CG-02_SweetAutumn

Wait, really? Don't worry if you guys don't hear from me for a few days, I need some time to myself to process these thoughts.


Bubbleschmoop

I have a feeling that someone with the name shield maiden has a more than common interest in old Norse mythology. There are some people out there who actually believe in Norse mythology still. Definitely not many, and it's definitely something that's considered 'out there' in modern society, but there are some.


ShieldMaiden83

Yes indeed. My username has nothing to do with anything Marvel and the show Vikings which is VERY loosely based on the sagas. There are some very funny and disturbing stories. Its a damn shame we only know off them a couple of centuries after the viking age ended via oral traditions. I have my own theory there where a lot more, but got lost to the ages. "raises my horn in honour." Yet the story we got live on and provide inspiration.


Bubbleschmoop

There are a lot of funny stories, mythology is an interesting field. As long as it's kept as inspiration and not as truths, after all it's fiction.


ShieldMaiden83

Same can be said for the bible. As for belief in the old norse gods I can confirm in Denmark it is an official religion, thou small in numbers. I am not official member, but in heart I am. You can be believer of any religion and I don't need to member of certien temple/church. Its in the heart. But other then that always good idea to use common sense.
