20 Video Games That Secretly Reward You For Failure
17. Getting Hit By Lighting Twice - The Sims 4
The Sims 4 features dozens of unique and very specific ways for your Sims to die (a result of the title's own refusal to die after more than a decade of full-price DLCs).
There are plenty of failed interactions that can end up being fatal, which is why most players are very careful about putting their Sims in any danger.
This said, the deadliest and rarest death cause in the game can secretly grant you a reward... if you survive it twice.
Those who own the Seasons expansion can experience the joy of being electrocuted by a lightning bolt. Getting zapped by Zeus's wrath is one of the rarest interactions in the game, as there is only a small percent chance it happens even when you make your Sim hang outside every time there is a storm.
In addition to being rare, the lightning strike is also extremely lethal since your Sim is guaranteed to be wet when it happens, but despite this, if your Sim is somehow struck twice and survives both incidents, their miraculous resistance to death will grant them a secret trait that allows them to summon lightning at will.
What doesn't kill you makes you more zappy!
