I turned rain off in my game and I shorten the Autumn/Winter seasons to 7 days and set Spring/Summer to 28 days. I usually leave on Snow but it depends on the circumstances. I only have a couple of households in Tartosa but I want it to remind me of my awesome Mediterranean holidays where it was almost always gorgeous weather. I just added a vacation lot with a stable because it's nice for a horse holiday, clip clopping around the streets.
I'm in the North of England so, yeah I see enough rain as it is! There's currently a big yellow shiny thing in the sky outside my window and I'm not entirely sure what it is 🌄.
