This is the first time this had happened to me - a new family I had just created...the father was standing outside so I told him to watch the clouds...left him for a couple of minutes to focus on the other sims in the family and when I went to click on his icon again, it was gone - at first thought it was a game glitch, then I heard a loud zoom and a crash - he got hit by a satellite! Of course then the Grim Reaper came, and I toyed with the idea of trying to plead for his life, but decided not to. Wish I had thought to turn the "walls" on in this shot but it surprised me so I just started taking pictures.
