    @xochiquetzl_xkvn while my Sims don't go to the spa as much as they used to, the yoga, meditation, and some of the clothing I really like.  I was especially grateful for the Spa Day Game Pack back when we hadn't even gotten an Expansion Pack yet, because there were so few clothing items for the Athletic category that the clothes from Spa Day were a much needed addition to the game, IMHO! 

    Yes, I need to play my Mermaids again.  I think I got too involved with the cultural and environmental aspects of that pack, and then I was trying to mix Mermaids with Aliens or Vampires (but my experiments were cut short when they patched the game to make hybrids less likely). So, I never really explored the weather control powers of the Mermaids. Which is odd since I love the weather,  but I do tend to get sidetracked when playing the game! 

    I remeber my first Sim to master teleportation through meditation ... I'd often send her and her family to Granite Falls for vacation, and she would just teleport around everywhere! 🤣 

    @bae281995  although several of us have already mentioned that each world in the game has different weather patterns, we did forget to mention that not every year is the same, so thank you for bringing that up! 

    @chillaxbruhz , I forgot to mention that there is an Aspiration Points Reward that you can get that makes it so your Sims actually like thunderstorms! Sorry I forgot to mention that earlier! 😳😄  The reward is called Storm Chaser and costs 1000 Aspiration points! 🌩⛈😅

    @bae281995  Oh yeah.  I had a Sim with the Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration and put her in a tent in Granite Falls in summer (because all the herbalism plants are summer plants).

    Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  No.  She got hit by lightning twice and went home, and the next time we got her a cabin.  😉  Then I used bb.enablefreebuild to put a Dr June's Weather Machine on the cabin lot and she fully upgraded it (and all the plumbing, and the fridge, and the bed).  Anyone using the cabin can use it.

    Pro Tip:  if you want to use a tent in Granite Falls, go in spring or fall.  😉  Or even winter! just not summer.

    @PugLove888  LOL yeah, I've had Sims go on Jungle Adventures and mountain climbing expeditions with spellcasters, etc., and the non-casters would teleport to keep up.  For the really steep wall, only the Sim doing it for her aspiration was a good enough climber to tackle the wall so her mom Transportalated and her husband and stepfather teleported and only she climbed.  :D

    @chillaxbruhz I find this is pretty common when I play in Windenburg, in the spring as well. I use cheats sometimes to change the weather. It is my fav map and I refuse to let the weather ruin it! But it is really annoying that it rains a lot on most of the maps. You can turn thunderstorms off in the settings if it is bothering you too much.
