Every disasters is associated to an achievement. You have to unlock first these achievements to use them at your pleasure.

    No, there's no achievement in sandbox mode. You have to play some regular cities to unlock them.

     

     

    Tornado:
    Have 24 Wind Turbines at Wind Power Plants.

    Earthquake:
    Mine 100 tons of coal or raw ore in your city.

    Meteor Strike:
    Have 200 tourists arrive on flights at the Municipal Airport in a day.

    UFO Encounter:
    Ship any resource to a Space Center Great Work.

    Big Lizard:
    Burn 100 tons of garbage in an Incinerator at the Garbage Dump.

    Zombie Attack:
    Add a Diagnostic Lab to a Hospital and have 15 Sims die in a day.

    Or you can just download that mod that gives you all disaster related achievements by plopping a windmill. Link is in the mod discussion subforum.

    They must be generated randomly in game as I've had Meteors, UFOs and the Lizard all in the same city at different points

    If you play long enough you'll get tired of them.  In one city today I have had six.  the lizard once, two earthquakes, two tornadoes, and at least one flying saucer and one meteor shower with a radiation spot.  I got tired of it and came here to kibbutz.

    I have the opposite problem. I have disasters in sandbox mode. 
    And the buildings are locked and everything is like normal mode.

    What is going on?
