your best bet would be to set the season to a very long fall (like 28 days and do the rest of the seasons at 3 days each.
if you open up the cheat console Ctrl/Shift/C then type in "testingcheatsenabled true" (no qoutations, and make sure theres that space before true. Then you can "shift and click" anywhere on the lot and a menu will pop up "Seasons" thus you can change the current weather to what suits your gameplay. You may need to do it often but it allows you to create what your looking for.
Recognize this though. In both Sims 2 and Sims 3 the weather was designed to be like natural climate variability in the real world. (I'm an atmospheric scientist)So some seasons will be very dry and warm or very dry and cold. Some may be very wet and cold or very wet and warm.
For instnace, in Sunset Valley it POURED everyday during the season. It wwas almost non stop. It got cold QUICK too, eg It was snowing heavy on the last day of fall. Skip to Hidden Springs, first time test with Seasons. I used testingcheats (that I expalined to you) and switched to Fall instanty because it's been summer for years lol (in real life years) go figure it only rained ONCE in all of fall last night, but it was extremely cold very early. This is an example of variability within the programming of weather and seasons. it's not because it's a different world so that world has unique weather. Doesn't work like that.
If you have a very long summer season you'll get better chances at heatwaves if you have a very long winter you'll have better chances at blizzards and so on and so forth.
Don't uninstall Seasons. That seems sinful! LOL ;) Good luck Fellow Simmer! :)
Thank you and yes I did rather want to kick myself thinking of uninstalling :)
