Only rain in Brindleton Bay
So I know this has been discussed before but I hereby request: Hello there Sims team, would you take into consideration tuning down the thunders and rainy weather in Brindleton Bay? My reasoning be...

Hiya and thank you for all the suggestions you lovely folks!
I'm aware of the weather machine and the option to turn the stormy weather off. For my play style I wouldn't often use the weather machine since it's not a very realistic device and for this specific save it just kinda doesn't suit the world I've built. And as for the option to turn it off - this is the more feasible option in my mind but it's Quite The Hassle to keep toggling it on and off again since I play rotationally and this means changing not only households but worlds too. Also I would like the occasional thunder since it's definitely part of summer and therefore I wouldn't want to get completely rid of it. Just not all thunder all week please!
What I was hoping for was a more pleasant playing experience where I don't need to go back and forth with weather settings just because some world has its weather tuning too extreme. I am saying that in comparison to other worlds BB is too much, it's off-balance and that's something I think could be addressed by the devs. Maybe it's just me but in my opinion they didn't do a great job with how the weather is functioning in BB and I'm hoping it could be adjusted since it seems to be an exception among other worlds where the balance between different weather conditions is better and successfully portrays different local climates.
I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest to the dev team to rethink Brindleton Bay weather since I'm pretty sure minor adjustments would go a long way. Weather variation seems balanced to me in other worlds and I'm sure it could be in Brindleton Bay too.
@siirysiir Another suggestion I've heard, which might not work for rotational play, is to play shorter seasons. Bad weather lasts a shorter time during a shorter season because it gradually changes between seasons. (If I'm playing four or more households I want four week seasons, darn it!)
I think it's a reasonable suggestion! but I also suspect they have so many things on their plate that they might not get to it. ☹️
- @xochiquetzl_xkvn hmm I see, shorter seasons make sense but yeah, because I have so many households I want long seasons. Oh welp.
There's so many issues with the game right now but I still feel it's important to ask for more, ask for a better game! I want the devs to know what we want and what are the issues we have with gameplay. I think this goes to the category of breaking immersion and those are the kind of issues that make me want to play less and invest less in this game.
