This was pure coincidence when I was testing another bug I reported today without mods and I happened to pause the game at the same time. I decided to record the rest of the NPC sim getting hit by lightning when I noticed some of the visual effects would disappear sooner than the sim does when I get too close. I couldn't upload the video because it was too big so I uploaded it to YouTube. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/B7wlh81WzLo
