  • I am having the same issue for all my households. So far nothing gets wet, but the drops can be seen entering my house through the ceiling.

    This may also affect snow, but I have not tested it. I did restart the game and loaded older saves and reloaded the current save. Not going to restart my main save quite yet, nor reinstall the game since I can't backup yet. No indoor sims are affected and no indoor furnishings are affected, durability of Servos are unaffected indoors, and Play in Rain interaction is unaffected. Indoor rain muffle is unaffected.

    Just checked my updated game and the rain does show inside. But only visually.
