Default What's Wrong With Knowledge Sims?
My Knowledge sim wants to get struck by lightning. I try to fufill my sim's wants I really do, but I don't know what to make of this. Has anyone ever encountered this? Can sims survive a lightning strike? Or should I wait for her to roll a be saved from death and put her in a hot tub during a lightning storm?

I always get that want with knowledge sims. Sims can survive lightning strikes.Do what ever, just save before.

As long as their needs aren't low, yes they will survive.

They just want to experience everything. :lovestruc

Thanks guys. I played for sometime without Seasons and this really caught me off guard. This knowledge is married to another knowledge sims , once she gets struck he's gonna wanna get struck!

edit- maybe they'll both roll the want at the same time and I can put them in the hot tub together during the storm, let 'em well do what they do in hottubs, it'll be electrifying.

I really hate the "be saved from death want" but other than that, knowledge sims are my favorite. Pleasure sims (NL) are also fun to play.

I had two knowledge sims. My man one rolled the "Be saved from death" want. I killed him but my female sim couldn't save him no matter how much I tried!!! She kept failing... and it was a 100/100 relationship!!!!!!

You can say that again! My knowledge sims have a quest for experiencing things bordering on the perverse/kinky!

Needless to say I won't go into details.

Gah, you guys are lucky, unless someone gets abducted by aliens in the house (and the knowledge sim then becomes obsessed with extraterrestrials), then mine tend to only roll "learn to cook ___" wants, after someone else in the house has cooked it. Blah.

Why can't mine be sexual deviants or sucidal?!?

...Aaand only in The Sims can you say something like that without sounding like a complete loon.

Saved from Death want usually appears when Knowledge Sims witness the death of another Sim, or when a gossip about a Sim who recently passed away reaches to them.
On the other hand, Being struck by lightning will occur often with the coming of Autumn and the first rainning days. This is how it happens in my game -- and the majority of my population consists of Knowledge Sims.

Edit: As others said, if your Sim's needs are high enough he/she will survive the lightning.

Well, that might explain some other things. I don't have seasons, but my knowledge sims always want to meet aliens - right after they come back from being abducted - and want to meet wolves - after they've met a wolf. I'm always screaming at them, "isn't that what you just got???" So they just want it again and again, eh? Stupid sims.

^ I hate how they "want to play with -wolfs name-" more than likely they will probably be barked or growled at unless they are playful and go ahead and play with the wolf.

This is what wolves do in my game:
1. They appear
2. They howl.
3. They stand there, wagging their tails, wondering what to do.
4. They try to bother with my sims inside, and then the wolf constantly barks about how there is a door/arch in his way. ._.
5. They give up and dig holes... and then disappear.

btw, yukkuri shiteite ne I think so too! D:<

Sims who have been abducted by aliens, when coming back, usually roll the want a member of their family or some of their friends to "Meet aliens".

I always get playful wolves. Go figure.

Maybe it's because I don't have any werewolves yet? Or because all my sims have "inhereted" my real-world animal whisperer trait.

I've seen this to many time; its pretty- funny silly knowledge sims. When the dad in one of families came back from meeting aliens all the knowledge sims in the family were cheering and applauding. Their one son who was a romance sim looked so upset, poor guy probably felt like he was in a family of loons.

Thanks for info guys when she rolls the want again I'll make sure her stats are up and fufill her wish, sill thing.

Actually, it is not silly for a Knowledge Sim to want to be abducted by aliens, or rolling the want his/her friends and family members to be as well. They are so much into the science and paranormal activities their lives would be meaningless without these incidents.

It's said that Knowledge Sims want to know everything about everything. Never mind that there are things you should keep your nose out of.

Not really everything. They still go OMG when they see naked sims.
