- I just use NRaas Tempest to edit the weather patterns so fall and winter would be much warmer and not get tons of snow as the winter would just be mostly rainy though still mild with above freezing temperatures while fall would be still like summer in the daytime with temperatures dropping lower at night for some overnight cooling.
- IreneSwift7 years agoSeasoned AceMost of the time I enable only summer, or spring and summer, in tropical worlds. But if I want to play in a tropical world and still have all the seasons, I do. I use NRaas Tempest also, but while I could adjust the temperatures to exclude cold weather, garden plants and trees will still go dormant in the fall and winter, and fail to recover in the spring, regardless of the temperature. So instead, I make summer and spring longer, and add the winter and fall holidays to summer and spring.
- I play Lucky Palms the most and have it set to only summer and a short spring.And if using Sunlit Tides or IP would have the same.
- Cororon7 years agoRising TravelerSummer only, but then my sims only visit tropical worlds on holiday, usually when it's autumn or winter in their homeworld. :smile:
- I actually do allow winter (all 4 seasons) in Sunlit Tides. In Isla Paradiso I just allow summer, spring, and autumn. All other worlds get all seasons although all my saves just use 1 week of winter vs. 28 days of the other seasons. I don't like winter but I like the winter festival and the Christmas Bonuses they get in winter.
- I allow all seasons, I just turn off Snowy weather. That way I still get all the festivals, but inaccurate weather doesn’t ruin the immersion.
- allthemore447 years agoSeasoned AceMaybe I should turn snow off...but it's just my favorite.
I play a 91 day life cycle with 7 days for each season in all my worlds. I use Sims 3 options to turn off hail. I use NRaas Tempest to adjust the temperature and the weather for each world and to reduce the amount of rain in all worlds. I use 2 main weather temperature setups.
1. the original temperatures and in addition to less chance of rain less severe snow storms. I also add more sunny days so sometimes although it may snow overnight, during the day the sun will come out and shine on the snow. For Aurora Skies and Hidden Springs and other snowy worlds I leave the more plentiful snow during winter.
2. tropical temperatures with no snow but a little extra rain in winter. For Lucky Palms and other desert worlds I use the tropical temperatures but with much less rain."becks1112;c-16737087" wrote:

More power to you if you want to keep it, it’s your game ?- SimplyJen7 years agoSeasoned AceNow that I use NRaas: Tempest, I have custom profiles for each EA world tuned to mimic real-life weather of where that world is supposed to be based on... But I have played with snow in Lucky Palms before and it's pretty cool covered in white!
You know, in real life it's totally possible to experience snow in places that wouldn't normally have such cold weather. I live in Texas and sometimes we do get a little snow. This is from the Texas gulf coast last year. A few hours from where I live but I think we experienced a bit of snow too in my area that year.

I agree with KNORear :) The Sims is a sandbox game. There's no wrong or right way how to play.
