I finally packed up the entire household and evicted them out of the Henford place. I am not looking forward to finding a new plae and settling in - I hate moving in real life and in the Sims life (lol) but sometimes it's necessary.
Sulani and Brindleton Bay both feel rural in places, but Brindleton Bay has a lot of thunderstorms in the summer. (I think those actually turn off when you choose that option, or they did before Cottage Living dropped.) There are also parts of Windenburg that feel rural.
Weather-wise, Oasis Springs has very little rain. It gets very hot in the summer but is otherwise not bad, weather-wise. Willow Creek gets thunderstorms in the summer and freezes over by Harvestfest and has blizzards. Newcrest has weather similar to Willow Creek.
It all depends on what you're looking for, weather-wise.
